Samus is half human, half bird-person -- or she used to be, until she also became part jellyfish-dinosaur -- and I'm supposed to worry that her proportions of all things are "unrealistic"?
She's practically an anime character. She's not supposed to be realistic. And yeah, I remember that one time she looked slightly less anime, and that was because -- surprise surprise -- it was an American developer who designed her that way. As opposed to the Japanese creators of the series, who designed her in a Japanese style.
Yeah Nintendo is screwing up their portrayal of Samus. No Super Metroid isn't sexist just because Samus's power suit is destroyed when you die.
