Do you realise the hated comments the series would get even more. That's the attention it would get. And that's going for another same dumb sterotype. Which she just went through. And the reason Other M failed. Samus' gender was famous, because it was 1987. That's all. It be like saying Agent Carter is some epic thing on TV. Because they have a woman lead show. Linda Carter, Lucy Lawless, and Kate Mulgew to name a few, came before. It's old common hat now. Just like how it was a thing to have a gay character on a series, years ago. Now (no insult intended) its boring and overdone. It would actually be more "unique". From the reasons why you'd want her Lesbian or bi, to leave her straight. |
Not disagreeing with you, but no one knows if she's straight. For all we know, she could have been a lesbian the entire time.
My point is that Metroid is not about romance, and Samus is not in a series where her sexual orientation is relevant. That's why it should be left alone. I'm not saying she isn't or can't be lesbian, I'm saying it shouldn't be revealed at all, at least within the games, because its not relevant to the franchise. Like Dumbledor being gay. Only revealed after the series ended because his sexual orientation was never relevant to the series. This is the same thing. There's absolutely no reason in a franchise like Metroid that Samus should ever be put into a situation where it's important to reveal her orientation, gay or straight.
