Captain Invictus posted:Nah, the reason people generally don't like the Other M Varia Suit is because it looks bad and bland compared to the iconic look of the original. Here's a timeline of the varia suit, from super metroid, to prime, to zero mission's power suit, to other m Looks like the thigh bones are progressively falling out of the hip sockets.

Aphrodite posted:The difference is just 2 ridges on each shoulder? The last design has a lot more curved lines. Everything that was straight or a hard angle is now a gentle sweep. Design wise, it reads more feminine, and also less like armor. That goes into a lot of weird gendered issues in design, but I see where it's coming from.

That also shifts with the way Samus herself has been portrayed. It was a pretty big surprise in the first Metroid when it turned out she was, you know, a woman because everybody just assumed it was a dude in the suit. The story was that she was a tough as nails bounty hunter and also just a big woman; she was billed as 6'3". Later games made her smaller and more delicate. It's like hey guys, Samus has always been a huge badass and we accepted her as a large bounty hunter in cool armor.

Dear Hollywood, Please make a Metroid movie with Gwendolyn Christie as Samus. Thanks in advance.

Samus being 6’3 and 200 pounds was always a mistake, that was meant to be when she’s armored up. It’s a Japanese game that rewards you for beating it fast by putting her in her underwear, should have been obvious in hindsight.

Might want to take another look at that armor, because there is no way for there to be any noticeable difference in height outside of it. The promo artwork for Super Metroid also showed her to be buff as hell. rydiafan posted:Dear Hollywood, She really would be perfect for the role  .

Yeah, Super Metroid’s American promo material and guide and stuff were all made with that mistake. Nintendo Japan told them 6’3/200 out of the suit so they made art appropriate to that, but it’s meant to be in the suit. As is often the case, the mistake is better.

She's visibly built in Super Metroid, Sakamoto just slowly turned into her a tiny waifu over time.

Old Samus being an absolute beast outside the armor is what I loved about the old design. You get the vibe that shed kill ridley with a teacup if her suit failed at any point.

Was her being such a timid little girl that she will literally die instead of use items the big strong man she has a crush on hasn't told her to use also something that was totally always meant to be a thing?
