Best Metroid game?

I agree with you about Samus physical appearence. It was designed to be this

Not this

I don't agree with you about her story and the Metroid universe itself though. Mainly because there are no signs of what the Metroid universe was like back in the 80's - 90's. Sure, some aspects of the original game itself were inspired by Alien, but I never felt like the Metroid universe was retro-futuristic. Hell, I wouldn't even dare to qualify the universe of the old Metroid games because of how little we saw about that. Therefore, I'm not uncomfortable with the "neo-futurtistic" style it has now.

As for the character of Samus, I have zero problems with anything we have seen so far (except for the manga, but that has more to do with it being very poorly written instead of depiting something I don't like).

There was in Super and in Return of Samus. You can see the retro-futuristic computors with the big, green, blocky fonts on them. It's etched into the design of the ship architecture. You can here it in the sound design of the ship/research facility in the beginning. You can see it in the way Samus is dressed in both Return and Super. It's in the way the HUD and menus are designed. It's incredebly imperceptive to say there were no signs of what the Metroid universe were back then.

Samus in Fusion, Zero Mission, and Other M draw their characterization directly from that manga. It's the same canon. You may not have a problem with poorly written garble. Most people do.

From the manga, huh? That explains it. Didn't even realize there was one. That explains why Fusion and Other M are my least favorite. They literally turned Samus into a fan service, sissy girl who has a bizarre love interest with her boss.
