Metroid needs (and deserves) a reboot. Caution - Lots of gifs!

What superhero from the 80s used powered armor? Iron Man? Her suit is way too different. And sure it was western inspirered, but not westernized. If it were, Samus would be something like Lara Croft. But it's clear she isn't.

Of course it's different. They're different heroes. She isn't a carbon copy of Iron Man. It was definitely westernize. Every piece of media about metroid in the 80s and 90s was western. It wasn't until Fusion that it even adopted an anime art style. Samus was inspired by Ellen Ripley and this American actress:

That is Samus. That's literally who she was initially created to look like. Metroid was the epitome of western.

Her looking like Kim Basinger doesn't make her westernized. Oh, and how did Iron Man influence Samus?
