Metroid: Zero Missions At All

Reader mode
Wait a tic...

she took off her Zero suit, took a deep breath, Then put on clothing she considers casual?

All out in the open?

... Has no one explained Public Indecency laws to Samus, or are they too afraid to do so?
 
Apologies, reading it it says she walked out of the garage before dismissing her zero suit and changing clothing.

I guess I'm just reading it wrong, or something.

Shit, I just realized that I wrote something wrong. The intention was that she got changed while still in the ship, then she got out.

EDIT: Fixed.

Nother question. Right after changing, it just says One of the Supports Beneath It collapsed. Beneath what? The ship?
 
For some reason, the point I lost it was 'nanites'.

...I may have been spending too much time on Planetside 2 forums. Or reading up on MGS gags, for that matter.
 
I can't take the image out of a chozo explaining to Samus the inner workings of a certain device as "Nanomachines, daugther"

Metroid Prime 3 was reportedly a good game. I say reportedly because the controls were so strange I gave up by the first fight. Loved the first two.

Metroid: The Other M doesn't exist. Metroid Fusion still has exceedingly negative implications about the ethics and wisdom of the GF.

None of the Metroid games say much good about the GF's competence at fighting, though at least in MP3 they put in a good effort.

Metroid Comics, I've only read some of them. They were better than Metroid: The Other M.

The Federation in Prime actually made the Pirates scared. Sure, their on-screen showing was poor, but the troopship landing was an "oh shit" moment for the Aether pirate garrison...even if they were promptly slaughtered by the Ing.

Tell me these guys don't look like they could put up a good fight. :p



I mean, they've got (mediocre) power armor, weaponry on par with Samus's own power beam, and even counterparts to her missiles.

The problem is they live in a high-softness high-power sci-fi setting similar in many respects to Star Trek, where the only thing that matters is how much bullshit space magic you have, rather than whether or not you are competent enough to grok basic military logistics and tactics.

Also, rapidly reproducing starship pests, local wildlife, and even parasites are capable of piercing through said power armor and eating you alive. The pests in Metroid are a serious threat to someone in power armor.

Which really says something when Samus ends up soloing the stuff that are considered super-predators compared to the pests that eat through marines like they were tissue paper.

And then the ones that end up upgrading themselves with plasma cannons and shit...

And then the planet itself...

You are literally more closely related to a pine tree than a Chozo. The difference between you and a komodo dragon is infinitesimal compared to that between you and a chozo.

Um what? Sorry, no. Samus Aran is a sapient humanoid, who lives in a civilization with recognizable core features like arts and sciences, alphabets and language, etc etc. The Chozo are sapient humanoids, who live in a civilization with recognizable core features like arts and sciences, alphabets and language, etc etc. Komodo dragons are not sapient nor humanoid nor civilized, ditto for pine trees.

Due to use being limited to a sample size of 1 and 0 respectively, guessing at what a sapient humanoid alien race would be like, or a species much more advanced than us would look like, is tricky, and there could possibly be major differences, especially if you cut the humanoid part. However, its doubtful whether or not those major differences would be as substantive as sapient humanoid civilized species vs non-sapient non-humanoid non-civilized species. Moreover, everything we've seen in canon depicts the Chozo/GF/space pirates as, while certainly different, nevertheless largely recognizable and understandable.

Oh, all the general stuff will be understandable, It'll be the small stuff that's off. She basically has a separate culture that nobody else knows all to herself.

Also, shes chock-full of JenovaChozo-cells.

I suppose that the best analogy I could make would be Chozo civilization is the UEF from Supreme Commander, and everyone else is Romance of the Three Kingdoms-era China.

They're recognizably both civilizations, but the differences in culture are ginormous.

Well yes. My point was that saying humans have more in common with a pine tree than a Chozo was a totally ridiculous absurdity.

Technically it's true, if you're looking at things genetically. But social it was wrong.

Pine trees have zero social overlap with humans. Chozo have substantive and significant overlap with humans. They have an alphabet, a spoken language, care about the arts and sciences, have emotions but also reason things out, etc etc. Chozo society as it is depicted is fairly recognizable, far more so than something like The Culture. And even The Culture would have far more in common with humans than pine trees in that they both, have, well, culture, whereas the pine tree does not.

I know, that's what I said. It's just that genetically we're closer to pine trees.
