[Opinion]I think people are overreacting over the whole Metroid Prime 4 NPC situation

I'd like for Ridley to get benched for once. It's gotten beyond ridiculous how they keep finding ways to fit it in each game, just to get its ass whipped again. At this point, Ridley's a joke. Don't get me wrong, battling him is exhilarating, but the suspension of disbelief on how he keeps getting revived/rebuilt/reborn/recloned in time to get clapped in Samus' next adventure is broken.

Here's an idea: give us another character from Ripley's species, and have it be more than just the bad guy who does one bad thing at the beginning of the game  before Samus smokes that ass near the end of the second act.

You say "for once", but he's been sidelined in 3 out of 8 mainline Metroid games (I'm counting Zero Mission and Metroid 1 as the same title here). He was absent in Metroid 2 (though he was an extra secret boss in the remake), Metroid Prime 2 and in fact the latest Metroid game, Metroid Dread.

Of course, that means he's in more than half of the games so wanting him to sit out still makes sense and all, but just saying he isn't as prevalent as you think he is. 

Lol, I knew this reply was coming. I was using hyperbole, my dude.
