Samus is a fuckin' beast and that's awesome.

One of the many reasons Other M is terrible is that Samus looks to be about 4.8 feet tall next to everyone else. That, or the other soldiers are 10 feet tall.

I don't understand how the guy in charge of the franchise managed to get everything so wrong.

Well Samus has always been sexualized by Sakamoto. JUSTIN BAILEY being a thing and alll.

Iirc he even says Other M was his vision for Samus all along.

It's just kind of crazy that everyone except him saw Samus as a badass strong woman who can kick everyone's rear end and is feared and respected by everyone, and apparently all of that was an accident on his quest to make games about a vulnerable sexy short lady with PTSD.

That dude is well known for being an incredible pervert. You know he was jacking off to this poo poo the whole time. Japanese culture has a huge elder worship problem, so thats how idiots like him, and the dude who loving up Parasite Eve, manage to get ahold of these projects. They won't just tell them " No, you suck, get out of here."






For those that don't know about Parasite Eve. She was like Samus, in that she was no-nonsense cop that kicked mutated beasts rear end. Well, in the PSP game, he had her mind essentially killed, and the mind of her 14 year old clone go into the elders body.
So, instead of a fighter, the whole game she is cringing and crying. PLUS, the more damage she takes, the more her clothing is torn, to the point where it's just underwear. AND she ends up marrying the dude the first woman was marrying, LIKE HE WOULDN'T NOTICE THE EXTREME PERSONALITY CHANGE

Well, Other M was lovely enough that it's unlikely he'll ever get to ruin Gunpei Yokoi's series any more.

If I remember correctly, a lot of the stuff that we consider canon for Samus Aran is from comics like the series that ran in Nintendo Power way back in the day, and as such aren't necessarily canon in the developers' eyes. This includes stuff like the Chozo infusing Samus with their DNA to save her life as a baby.

A lot of it also comes from the lore in the Prime games, though. And those are made by a studio Nintendo owns, even though they're in Texas.

Nah man, that dude has veins on top of veins on top of veins showing out of his skin. That is some poo poo comic art, and possibly poo poo anatomy (which I kinda forgive since the dude's an alien).

The only time I'd let poo poo like this pass would be with Carnage or Venom since they have that weird hosed up fake symbiote muscle poo poo going on, on top of their normal skin.

Yeah, go read RoboCop vs. Terminator. It's seriously one of my all-time favorite comics and it's only $4 on Comixology right now.

And no, that's most definitely not the ending.

I'm only half way through the series. So far, the Terminators have killed everyone in the world except for one woman, she travels back in time, is stopped by the Terminators sent back in time, and all life is destroyed in the future. That page is the opening to the third issue. So, not really optimistic.

Somebody ought to write a Terminator story set in the closing days of the war against Skynet, where a mixed human-Terminator response squad is sent back from the 30th century or so to get Skynet to stop loving using so much time travel.

Well, I counted at least three more time jumps in the second half of the series.

It all gets solved by a motherfucking T-Rex, obviously.
