So I've been getting really into the Metroid franchise recently, and I've recently thought about something. Aren't the Metroids extinct? How can the series go on cronalogically without the token Metroids? Then I thought about Fusion. Samus is infused with Metroid DNA now, right? What if Samus involentarily gives birth to the revival of the Metroid species? What if Samus flies to her home colony, only to wake up and realise that a Metroid has budded from her back while she slept or something. The metroid escapes, reproduces, and attacks the colony turning into a ghost town.

None of this may even happen. This is just my way of coping with the lack of quality metroid titles recently...


Technically, the Metroids have been extinct since the end of Super Metroid on the SNES...


No they haven't. *Metroid Fusion spoiler* Also, Super Metroid is the penultimate conological game in the series, so they weren't extinct for very long at all.


*Spoilers* Err.... The "metroid" was cloned. They've been extinct since before then.


So what if it was cloned? They stopped being extinct once they were cloned, therefore they weren't extinct in fusion.


But you admit that they were, in fact, extinct. Extinct after Super Metroid, right? The thread is asking if Samus Aran is the last Metroid. If the Metroids were wiped out in Super Metroid and yet we're getting Metroid titles even after Super Metroid, what makes anyone think Samus would ever be considered the "last" Metroid? That's the point I was trying to make.

The fact that most of the games that came out after Super take place cronilogically before Super, and in turn before their first extinction. The only two that take place after that, Fusion and... er... M.O.M... ugh..., had brought Metroids back through the cloning of Baby. Then they were completely whiped out by the explosions, SA-X, and Samus. That means they're extinct again, barring Samus who now has dormant Metroid DNA in her jeans thanks to the Fusion Suit.

I could easily see the Space Pirates stealing some of her DNA for cloning or something. I think it's a great basis for a plot.

There are many scenes where we see metroid clones. even in fusion. But they don't attack samus, recognizing her as the same species, just like in alien, wich inspired the series.

Imo, Fusion left a damn good set-up for Metroid 5.

SPOILERS:


She defied direct orders from the Galactic Federation and exploded the space station and a whole planet (again). I'd think that she's now one of the most wanted criminals of the galaxy. And this Metroid DNA on her own genetic code is also really interesting. Since the Federation wanted to use the metroids for other purposes, there goes another reason for them to want to track Samus, who still have to worry about the Space Pirates.

Oh please, let the next Metroid be an actual sequel instead of another interquel.

Let me just say this. Samus' home colony was destroyed when she was 3.

They could explore into a different alien race. We don't really know much about the Metroid universe.

That's what they did in Metroid Fusion.

The Metroid franchise has some really deep lore. Believe me when I say, it has the most lore of any Video Game franchise I've ever seen. Prove me wrong if you will, but so far, this is what I can see.

That sounds nice. it could be her last mission: Destroy the galatic federation and build a new, righteous one.
