I read your essay. I added my own thoughts.

Doesn't look like it. I provided a pretty lenghty overview of the franchise covering how Metroid has done nothing but change and challenge their conventions since the beginning. If after proving that you then go and say that Metroid is a franchise that "shouldn't change"... then you either didn't read the OP or you read it, but decided to ignore it. And honestly, I don't know which one is more disrespectful xD

Finding disrespect in someone's opinion about a video game is a problem unto itself. It leads me to believe your issue lies less with my opinion (and others like me) and more to do with things going on in your actual life.

But just for the sake of clarity, I don't agree that most of the changes you're referring to were very drastic. If they were, I wouldn't have played them because I hate change in franchises I enjoy, and I have enjoyed every Metroid I've played outside of Other M.

My suspicion is that you don't like people talking bad about MP4, and as a means of devaluing their concerns so you don't have to accept that something you like may be flawed, you've conjured up your own logic-stream and then posted it here, hoping that others will back it up and thus, validate it. I didn't do this, so your mind went all ad hominem as a way of devaluing me... because what is the worth of an opinion coming from a "disrespectful" jerk?

My advice is to just tune it out, buy MP4 and be happy. What others think doesn't matter.
