what are comics/super heroes/etc that are... metroid-y?

comics/super heroes/etc that are vaguely written and thus fans have a million different headcanons about and then they scream and gnash their teeth when the creator decides to tell them their headcanons were wrong?

And that's not even mentioning the boring rage inducing gameplay.

>>85111854
>Killing Ridley 3 times
Actually, she only killed Ridley once by the time of Other M. Hence why she freaked out upon seeing him alive.
They fought in original Metroid, but Ridley survived. Prime is a separate canon from Other M, so those games don't count. Then she killed him in Super.
In any case, I like to think of it like this: Other M isn't usual Samus. It's Samus when she's had a really off week and is feeling depressed about it. Normally she's more of the lone hunter badass we know and love, but she's been having a really rough time and isn't entirely stable by the time of that game.

>It's a "I'm too scared to make a thread on /v/ so I'll post it on /co/" thread

For a series most well known for its strong, brave main character, Metroidfags sure are cowards.

Please don't make Samus look bad by comparing Carol to her.

Metroid was inspired by the aliens franchise. Don't know if you would be into watching the aliens movies.

Nobody has written a personality for samus that everyone can agree on.

Though my personal headcannon has her be more like Bobafett in terms of personality.

I always picture her as reserved but driven. Like outside of her armor she's mostly quite, what with spending most of her time alone in the emptiness of space, but at the the same time projects and air of power. I mean, this is someone who quit the military because it didn't allow her to kick enough asses.
Whatever people think, I feel like we can all agree that Other M got it wrong. I don't care that it was canon, that shit was just wrong.

>>85112054

>>85112129
>Nobody has written a personality for samus that everyone can agree on.

In my head its 2/5 Ripley, 1/5 the old Laura Croft, 1/5 Sarah Connor, and 1/5 Faye Valentine

She is a loner bounty hunter that travels to completely unknown places without much of the way of back up and has to improvise solutions and tactics to deal with otherwise otherworldly forces. There is very much a "This needs to be done by someone and I am the best to do so" about all of the metroid games.

>>85112179
>>85112214

Sakurai said Prime is an alternate story line to the main one. Thus, by the time of Other M, Samus has only fought Ridley twice, and killed him only once.

First of all, It's Sakamoto. And no, he said literally the opposite. Prime is not a "gaiden", it's just as canon as the rest of the series.

If Metroid belonged to Marvel

the Chozo would be mytical ancestors of the Shi Ar, and Samus would be a starjammer or guardian of the Galaxy.

I never got why Nintendo focuses on Samus being demure when she's a battle hardened bounty hunter. They have princesses for that.

>>85117168
They focus on it because they're caught up in making her a waifu. I'd like my Samus to have a hardened, terrible beauty, but you're right in saying that demure is a swing and a miss.

Because that's the point of the suit. Power suit is for battle hardened bounty hunting, being out of the suit is for being a beautiful woman.

It's about contrast between the two, that's what Nintendo focuses on.

The Metroid Prime games were made by an American studio.

Nintendo, being a Japanese company, does not consider any games made by foreign studios to be "canon".

The Prime games are about as legitimate as the CD-I Zelda games, so far as Nintendo of Japan is concerned.

>>85111758

sakamoto was right when he said that everyone having a different idea of samus was bad for the series. he was wrong about literally everything else but he was right about that.

>>85122407

The Metroid Prime games bombed in Japan because they were FPS. The Japanese have a cultural dislike of FPS games (I heard they get motion sickness or epilepsy more easily or something).

So it makes sense that since no one in Japan played them or enjoyed them, they would not be considered canon by the Japanese.

>>85122407
Oh fuck off. Only Sakamoto possibly thought that the series wasn't canon and lord knows no one gives a fuck what he thinks now after Other M. Possibly Sakurai as well but he has nothing to do with Metroid so who gives a shit.

Most other people at Nintendo, including Tanabe, seem to respect Prime and consider it canon.

>>85122407
>Nintendo, being a Japanese company, does not consider any games made by foreign studios to be "canon".

They can't seem to make up their minds how much of the Donkey Kong games made by Rare "count". Sometimes they go with Rare's canon that the current Donkey Kong is the offspring of the original Donkey Kong, sometimes they don't.

It's like they're caught between their desire to make money off of a popular franchise made by gaijin, and their Japanese nature to be xenophobic isolationists who must purge all gaijin taint from their business.

It's fun to watch.

>>85118039
its amazing how many people don't understand this

be mad at nintendo for being incapable of showing restraint, but there's a point to samus being a beautiful woman and not a grizzled warrior under the armor

>>85122407

You can be as butthurt as you please. But if the Prime games weren't made by Nintendo, then the SHOULDN'T count.

>>85122857
no seriously there isn't some kind of secret resentment towards their western developers, with the possible exception of NST

nintendo really likes seeing NST suffer for some reason

>>85122702
Funny, the Metroid Prime games did better than Other M did commercially and they also seem to have their own dedicated fanbase. Most Japanese fans seem to vastly prefer the Prime subseries than Other M.

Also from what I've heard, the Prime games were never localized all that well into Japan. Supposedly for one thing, they replaced the more imaginative area names with generic names, with stuff like, "Fire Area," instead of "Magmoor Caverns."

>>85122931

Nintendo's goal first and foremost is to appease their Japanese consumers. Foreign consumers are an afterthought. And they receive serious backlash when they try to appeal to foreigners, anyway.

I was reading a translation of 2chan users when Little Mac was revealed for SSB. The Punch Out games were never popular in Japan, so the inclusion of Little Mac was seen as an appeal to outsiders. Japanese fans were livid; SSB is a Japanese game and should only be concerned with Japanese gamers.

They wanted more Fire Emblem characters.

>>85122975
metroid's problem in japan is that a lot of the people who would be into those sort of games over there moved on to the playstation and never looked back

>>85123099
Oh?

>>85123085

Nintendo of Japan was burned by American developers so much in the 80s, they pretty much outright refuse to work with or trust Western companies now n days.

Their earliest forays into media resulted in shit like Captain N, the Super Shows, the LoZ cartoon. Or the awful Valiant comics. Or the fuckin Bob Hoskin/John Leguizamo Mario Bros movie.

Western game developers were further hurting the brand with heinous dogshit like the CD-I Zelda and Mario titles, or off-model, unplayable stuff like Mario is Missing.

NoJ doesn't want to reach across the ocean and work with Westerners anymore. And you can't really blame them. The "If it's good enough for Japan, it's good enough for everyone else" business model has been working just fine for them since the 2000s.

>>85123085
>I was reading a translation of 2chan users when Little Mac was revealed for SSB.
this is like judging what americans are like by reading /v/

both retro's and rare's donkey kong country are super popular over in japan. they fuckin love that shit, they don't care that it's made by westerners

when nintendo needed mario kart 7 out on the double cause the 3ds was bombing hard, they went to retro studios for help

they give next level games good projects all the time (federation force is a dumb idea but that one's on tanabe)

they don't hate their western developers except for NST

they really fucking hate NST and like to inflict pain on them. i don't know why.

>>85123155

metroid used to sell fine in japan until the 8 year gap

>>85123272

>>85123085
>They wanted more Fire Emblem characters.

Sigh.

Of course they did.

>>85123442
He's talking about the 8 year gap between Super and Prime/Fusion.

Also I don't know about that, honestly.

Metroid fans in general tend to also be huge fans of other Nintendo properties. There's generally a ton of overlap period between fanbases of every Nintendo franchise.

Metroid has just always been niche as fuck.

>>85123513

Metroid didn't start to become popular in Japan until Fusion and the introduction of the Zero Suit.

Waifus are the only thing Japanese gamers care about, so that's all Samus is ever going to be from now on.

>>85123568
>Metroid didn't start to become popular in Japan until Fusion and the introduction of the Zero Suit.
The Zero Suit was introduced in Zero Mission though.

>>85123513
>Metroid has just always been niche as fuck.
It's a shame they are really fun games.

>>85123598
Shock of shocks, a guy complaining about Japan ruining Metroid or Samus being seen out of her suit doesn't play Metroid games.

best selling metroid games in japan were the first two (both sold over a million) and super (over 500k)

fusion didn't do so hot and zero mission mega bombed in japan

japan didn't really care for other m much either, barely outselling fusion which is catastrophic considering the game's goals and budget

>>85123272

I get the feeling the only reason NintendoJapan let Retro make the Prime games in the first place was because they were genre and mechanic experimenting with so many of their franchises in the Gamecube era.

Star Fox Adventures was a third person action-platformer and not a space shooter.

Luigi's Mansion and Mario Sunshine added weird upgradable weapons to the gameplay.

And Metroid Prime was an FPS.

If Nintendo hadn't been in that experimental phase, Prime never would've been allowed to happen. And now that that phase is long out of their system, we won't be seeing anything like Prime again.

>>85123698

It's almost like... Metroid is only popular/profitable with foreign markets, and so trying to change it to appeal exclusively to Japanese markets where it's never been fashionable is a... bad idea?

NAH. Fuck the gaijin. Miyamoto-sama knows what's best.

>>85123742

>>85123980
That's all NST has done since 2004. That company had what, three decent titles of their own?

>>85123780
I remember for about a decade everybody blamed Sonic X-Treme's never coming out with SoJ's feud with SoA. It was heralded as some sort of lost messiah of Sonic, a game that would have been revolutionary and amazing if it weren't for those goddamn Nippons.

And then the concepts and builds eventually leaked, and it turned out that the game was absolutely awful from the ground up in damn near every incarnation. The feud had certainly negatively affected the game, but the devs who were so quick to pass the blame were fucking terrible all on their own and deserved to have that game canned.

Project HAMMER has a lot of the same tone.

>>85123703
>If Nintendo hadn't been in that experimental phase, Prime never would've been allowed to happen. And now that that phase is long out of their system, we won't be seeing anything like Prime again.

they've all said it at one point. retro is one of their crown jewels

what they don't want to see is hunters 2 because they want nst's building destroyed. details unclear.

federation force started life as a hunters follow up and NST didn't even know about it until it was unveiled

>itt
>WAH WAH WAH Why won't those racists at Nintendo make a game that appeals to ME!?

Yes, Nintendo has been isolationist since the early 2000s. Yes, they've been deliberately steering their brand away from Western tastes.

But they've also been making record profits since then and without all the embarrassing shit they wound up regretting during the 80s and 90s.

So why the fuck SHOULD they try to appeal to Westerners when their Japan First business strategy has been working so well these past 15 years?

Yeah. I mean I don't rage about it or anything I just think it's rather silly. I don't want Samus to be overly butch or dykeish, but making her too animu waifu looking is also going in the direction IMO.

In Prime she's perfectly attractive but she doesn't look done up. It's a practical kind of beauty and even extends to her hairstyle, which is just a simple ponytail instead of an elaborate 'do.

>>85124378

I thought they've been struggling ever since the bottom fell out of the Wii and they never recovered.

Probably explains why they had to work with a gaijin company like Disney and license out their IPs were Wreck-It Ralph. They can't afford to be xenophobic seppuku-holics anymore.

If it hadn't been Disney, Nintendo would have never even entertained the idea of licensing their IPs to a foreign company.

It just so happens that Disney has a superb presence in Japan and a big working relationship with Japanese corporations.

She's short in Other M outside the suit, which as bad as the game was, is unfortunately canon.

I like to think pic related when it comes to personality, ignoring the Other: M shit we got a Samus who is compassionate towards vulnerable creatures, has a sense of justice, likes helping those in need, can be terrible when angry, and isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty when she needs too.

Also she destroys planets like WW breaks necks.

Most likely Nintendo wanting synergy and for Zamus to be her definite look out of the suit, IMO the animu look doesn't fit Samus at all and neither is making her look like a waifish supermodel.

The look she has in Prime Hunters was fine, I also like pic related, she needs to look strong and feminine, cutesy supermodel Samus is just pure shit.

Wouldn't be surprise if that was Sakamoto's request, he oversaw that game and told Retro what they could and couldn't do for the first game.

Nah Samus is not Boba Fett at all, Fett doesn't have much morals or qualms about fucking people over for money, or compassion for strangers, Samus does.

Not that Fett's heart can't be touched but it's hard to do that, Samus also isn't in it for the money like he is.

But anyone who has played Super Metroid, Fusion, and has managed to bother reading the logs in the Prime games knows that Samus is nothing like a cold Boba Fett type.

I guess Captain N comic Samus comes close to that because she wasn't abive torturing or fucking over people but the fact that she loved Kevin made her want to be good (and that is less interesting than a Samus who is good because of of her life experiences and who truly wants to protect the universe, not to mention cliche for a female character).

>>85126128
Japanese titles tend to be kind of stupid and arbitrary.

>>85126244
>Really makes you question who's writing those "100 head canons" posts.

literally only Other M apologists. Maybe there was no consensus on her favorite mixed drink but almost every game except maybe the original had some small glimpses at her personality.

Ask yourself: if there were so many different competing headcanon Samuses, there should have been a few people whose headcanon Samus matched perfectly to the one we got in Other M, right? And yet not even the Dobsons of the world would claim such a thing.

>>85126631
They really love making everything sound flowery and overwrought.

>>85126497
You can say that about every armored character ever but once you show what they look behind that armor it impacts their character.

Also with the shitty disappearing armor Sakamoto gave her when she gwys emotion and her being a braindead moron that is willing to risk cooking alive because a man didn't OK her to use protection I am surprised she manahed to keep herself pretty.

They just grab whatever word sounds cool in English and put it together because it sounds good to them.

Like Kirby Triple Deluxe, Nintendo was told by NoA that the title sounded like something jumbo size that you would order from a restaurant menu and Nintendo didn't give a fuck, told them to go with it anyway.

>>85126945
Honestly, "something jumbo sized that you order from a restaurant" sounds like a pretty fitting Kirby title.

>>85126839
If she gets scared or sad her armor starts disappearing, pretty much anything that makes her emotional is a risk because she needs to concentrate real hard to keep her armor on or some shit.

It's your own problem if you actually expect anything in Other M to be coherent or consistent with the other games, or if you try to make logical judgments about the Metroid universe based on what happened in that game.

>cutesy animu waifu bimbo shit ahould stay in fanart land.

That's what she looked like in her first two games though

>>85126945

Triple Deluxe sounds vaguely like it could be referencing the 3D gimmick, so it's still more appropriate than Other M.

>>85122407
>>85126783
Where did this non-canon thing come from? I only heard Sakamoto say that they weren’t going to reference the Prime games in Other: M which makes sense because the Prime games where their own story and it was like a sidequest to the main Metroid story.

Also if anything Ither: M contradicts a lot of shit from the main Metroid games.

Also the shitty Federation Force is aping the Metroid Prime style and Figma already confirmed an upcoming Metroid Prime Samus armor figure OKed by Nintendo and while none of this affects the game's canon it means the Prime aesthetic is being brought back.

>>85122516

pretty sure that was a lie started in some book somebody wrote that was unsourced.

>>85122516
Yeah you read blatant shitposting.

>>85123703

That doesn't make sense because if Prime 4 was made today it would no longer be considered experimental.

How did they fuck up power armour this bad? Why not just have it be normal armour?

>>85127094
She was a sprite in the first two games.

>>85127287
Sakamoto really really can't write.

Yeah but, you know. I don't know.

>>85127287
that armor mechanic logic makes its worst way possible with that PTSD in that Ridley encounter. Come on, Samus faced foes that are as powerful as Ridley in other games, and she is afraid of him suddenly? The better resolution of this plot is to make Ridley do the ambush attack, instead of making Samus suddenly has a panic attack.

>>85127308
and?

>>85127527

no matter how you slice it, it's dumb that her armor would be designed in such a way that it can become useless in high-stress situations.

>>85126833
Its probably just a mishmash of English words they thought sounded cool. It's like how English writers will use random Latin to seem sophisticated.

>>85127527
Didn't Ridley kill her parents?

>>85127568
I want to fuck that genie.

>>85127873
We all do.

What's Animu about that? It's just a woman with long hair, if anything, with the probable exception of Fusion, they based Samus' look on Kim Basinger.

>Which person is the image closest to [Samus]; was there someone specific?

>Sakamoto: Personally, I like Kim Bassinger from 9 1/2 Weeks and My Stepmother is an Alien.

>Osawa: Yeah, I see that. When Samus gets hit, her voice sounds like her.

>people will be discussing other m's story for years and years, due to how uniquely terrible it was
>every metroid fan now knows who sakamoto is, and what his exact role with the game was. he will always be known as other m guy, despite his efforts of distancing himself from the series
>metroid is now equally popular in america and japan which is to say not at all

was other m the biggest backfire since daikatana?

i think it was worse because at least john romero can say that id got worse without him

>>85127954

I don't. I hate purple hair.

>>85127568
She wasn't even that detailed, she was just a generic woman with long hair, big whoop.

>>85122419
>sakamoto was right when he said that everyone having a different idea of samus was bad for the series.

True, but that is no excuse at all.

>Hey, nobody knows what that brown stuff on the kitchen table is. That's kinda bad. We should replace it with steaming, putrid, vomit-covered shit, so everyone knows what it is!

>>85128138
In that case choose one of the other waifus the games supply

>>85127747
he did, but Samus already kills him several times already.

>>85128064
Other M was so bad it pretty much killed the Metroid franchise for

>>85128143
I always found people basing Samus' look on the older sprites kind of retarded, they had so many limitations that the colors weren't exactly what they wanted nor was the design.

Like the "Samus has green hair" tards, they never intended for her hair to have green hair, that's just the color to let you know what weapon you have switch on, also the ending sprite has brownish looking hair, and they certainly didn't intend for her to have brown hair.

Just keep in her in the damn suit. Who cares what she fucking looks like under it when you spend 99.999% of the game in it.

>>85127747
Yeah but she has killed him so many times without a bleep that her breaking down only on the 5th or 6th time is stupid.

Sakamoto just wanted drama.

>>85128063
more anime than Prime 2 and 3 were

>>85124429
Thats because its fucking disney

>>85127287
Samus's armor has been emotion controlled since Super Metroid.

>>85129624

Example? She doesn't lose her armor due to emotions or anything in that game.

>>85129624
Except that directly counteracts information in Fusion. Also you're completely wrong.

Ah yes, the same canonical document that introduced a blue genderbent Samus guy and had him kill the baby Metroid instead of Mother Brain.

also what happened to that meme?

>>85128801
How?

>>85129889
That comic isn't canon but seeing how Sakamoto lifted the orphan Samus thing from it I can see him lifted that emotional armor thing and making the concept worse.

Prime 2's Samus looks like a poor attempt at realism with impossibly yellow hair. I mean, look at that nose. that's the kind of nose that all the weebs would call manly in a "the west has never designed an attractive female character" thread. No one would create a nose like that if they were going for an anime look.

Prime 3 almost looks like something made by Disney. Wait, no it doesn't. Disney would give Samus much larger eyes. It ranks somewhere alongside Blizzard females on the anime scale.

Now, look at Samus's head shape in Metroid 2. Notice anything?

>>85131023

I don't disagree with the assertion that he was wrong about everything else

>>85128372
>Other M was so bad it pretty much killed the Metroid franchise
It killed mainline Metroid which is why it's so strange that it's the Prime fans that are the most angry over it and not the 2D fans.

2D fans should be livid over Other M because no only did it exist INSTEAD of a 2D game, it killed the possibility of ever seeing another one.

I guess that audience just faded away, like mummies.

>>85131313

I dunno what the fuck you're talking about, everyone hated Other M except the really delusional moviebob-tier nostalgiafags and the idiots who still think Nintendo can do no wrong

>>85131313

You make it sound as if you can't enjoy the Prime series and the original 2D ones at the same time.

>>85131390
Everyone hated it but you'd think it would be the older fans that would have hated it the most.
