Wow, the topic of this thread changed drastically since I last looked at it.
My take? Sexuality and Samus does not quite sit right with me. I mean I have a hard time picturing Samus wanting to be intimate with anyone, regardless of being male, female, or other alien gender. I mean she grew up surrounded by old birds, so she wouldn't even have had a chance of falling in love with anyone until her later years (besides an old bird but..........). I don't know why people can't let characters retain their image of asexuality.
