>a bounty hunter who isn't a bounty hunter who is a supersoldier that isn't in the army flies around space fighting dinosaurs and squishmellows
>>729484180Nintendo didn't really understand what a bounty hunter was, they just knew Boba Fett was popular.
>>729484280Jango is cooler.
>>729484180always found it weird that space pirates arent pirates. they're a whole civilization with mothers, children, military, research institutions, etc that collectively call themselves "space pirates"
>>729484180It's Sakamoto's obsession with Alien and other western IPs. And he just threw all the ideas he liked into a game. Then the games he didn't work on like Return of Samus, the comics and the Prime games made more sense of the lore. Then Sakamoto fucked it up again once he got the pen back.
>>729486639I suspect it is different in the Japaneae. English badly localizes like crazy.
>>729484180>Wtf is Metroid even about?>4 year old girl gets orphaned by a space dragon>sole survivor of the space cruiser she was in, gets found and raised by bird people>bird people are not only one of the most advanced species in the galaxy, but they also have premonition abilities>they predict that the girl will play an important role in saving the galaxy>they train her and give her DNA from two different tribes to improve her intelligence and physical capabilities>she grows up and joins the space navy>beloved superior dies>now grown up and trained, she wears the armor the bird people gave her and becomes a mercenary for hire>completes a suicide mission by defeating the bosses of the Space Pirates that had invaded the planet she was raised in>also, METROIDS>then there's some cancer goop that mutates another Metroid, turning it into the METROID PRIME>Metroid Prime steals one of her suit upgrades before dying, becomes DARK SAMUS>two games later, Samus destroys the space goop planet and cures her space cancer>space feds are so impressed she's now tasked to exterminate all of the Metroids from their home planet>she does so, except for THE BABY>back to her home planet because the pirates kidnapped THE BABY>the baby becomes the SUPER METROID>baby dies, but so the space pirates, and she blows up her planet>oh yeah now there's a parasitic goop infesting the Metroid planet because Metroids were actually genetically designed by the bird people to devour the goop, whoops>Samus gets goop'd AGAIN>THE BABY's DNA saves her>Samus now can eat all the goop because she's part Metroid>she also blows up yet another planet>actually the goop is somehow still alive in a distant planet>the warrior bird tribe actually wanted to use Metroids to conquer the galaxy, except they're all dead>except for one>bird warrior defeats Samus, but Samus screams so hard she obtains Metroid powers>kills goop'd bird warrior and blows up the planet>Samus is now THE METROID
>>729487731So when does she save the galaxy?
>>729487983>defeated the Space Pirates and stopped them from using Metroids to conquer the galaxy>defeated dark entities from a dark dimension to stop them from consuming a world>defeated the Phazon and its embodiment and stopped it from spreading space cancer>killed the Metroids before someone else could abuse their power>defeated the Space Pirates and now made sure their head honchos remained dead by blowing up the planet>destroyed the X planet to stop it from infesting galactic civilization>defeated a hostile Chozo tribe's boss wanting to make an clone army of her, and made sure the X remained dead once againThree exploding planets is just collateral damage.
>>729487731When is the comic set?
>>729484280That's just a myth. They always understood what a bounty hunter was. Here's Captain Falcon being a bounty hunter.
>>729484180>Halo faggot keeps using shitty Metroid X Halo fanart>the stupid bastard doesn't even know what Metroid is all aboutXbots need to seriously be gassed.
>>729489820For me it's haloidhttps://youtu.be/ihH88jPOTMw?si=f6Llu5JVLzpgpxixImagine having 0 taste
>>729489820>Mackenzie doesn't know what irony isLol
>>729491096Based
>>729487268>スペースパイレーツNope, quite literally Space Pirates.
>>729491096MONTYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
>>729484180going to planets and killing aliens... that's pretty much it
>>729484180>call the series "metroid">all the proper metroids have been extinct since the third game 30 years ago
>>729487008why does metroid man in super look so much bigger compared to the others?
>>729486639Maybe they dindu nuffin and the Galactic Federation just hates their competition.
>>729493953The ancient debate>was the after credits scene canon?
>>729484180Space niggers.
>>729494167The game didn't sell well in Japan so they expected it to be a one off. Too bad the gaijin kept buying enough copies for Nintendo to force the devs to make another game. The devs even tried to make it obvious to the higher ups that they didn't want to continue by killing all the metroids in each game
>>729494303SNES had more pixels than NES, GB and GBA.
>>729494167>The Legend of Zelda>you play as link>Animal Crossing>You don't cross-examine animals>Super Mario Bros.>They are not called Mario Mario and Luigi Mario>Star Fox>The MC isn't a starThey are like this all the time
>>729495164>I don't know anything about MetroidMetroid 1 sold okay for an NES game. But nowhere near their other games. A whole new team (R&D1) made Metroid II basically as a tech demo for the Game Boy. Sakamoto had no involvement with it. Once he got full control of the series, he took it in a totally different area no one wanted. And it's not because he wanted it to die. But because he cared too much. He's like Lucas with Star Wars.
I want to compliment her and see how she reacts
>>729495591[Thumbs down]
Microsoft killed Halo and the only way to save it is if for several actions>Halo Studios fails, gets closed down, Halo series gets vaulted>GTA VI doesn't make its money back>Bungie gets gutted down to mid-size level by Sony and negotiates their independenceThis would lead to Bungie going to Take 2 and buying back Myth and Oni, from there, Bungie will go to Microsoft and buy back Halo. Bungie would hire some ex-Bungie Halo devs back to reboot the series from the beginning and decanonizing all Halo novels from 2001 on up while bringing in new talent to teach them how to make games so the old devs can properly retire and let them take over. Due to this being a reboot, Master Chief is younger and staying younger with his AI, Cortana, and they both have voice actors and actresses that replaces both Steve and Jen. All Microsoft canon is removed. Until then, Halo is dead and is going to die fully next year or when Infinite sequel bombs.
>>729496490Nope.Its actually this:>343i (yes dead naming them is Just) is totally dissolved and all former employees are kept as far away from Halo as possible>Halo as an IP is acquired by a Japanese dev. Doesn't matter who. It just needs to leave the western "politics first" eco-system>new dev does 4 things1. HD remaster of the Trilogy. (REMASTER. Not those anniversary abortions.) Sell it as a bundle. NO MCC.2.immediately retcon all 343i shit. ALL OF IT. 3. start new series in the 2530s. This gives them 30 years of Human-Covenant War to make shitloads of games out of. Then DO NOT REMAKE THE BUNGIE GAMES. Simply adapt the Nylund books into games.4. Licrnse out the Chief as a guest character in multiple series to build back good will.That's it.
>>729498614Nope, series needs a hard reboot, Microsoft has been shitting it up since 2001. Remember that novel Halo the Fall of Reach, yeah, that's Microsoft's and that one book fucked up Bungie's entire direction for the series going forward so no, series needs a hard reboot with all bookshit eliminated from canon. Make Halo a GAME-ONLY series. Ex-Bungie dev Hardy LeBel even agrees with this. Hard reboot the damn series, if Bungie fans or 343 shills don't like it, they can take their shit somewhere else. You're not a real Halo fan if you're a book faggot neither are you a real gamer.
>>729498909Supreme Autist, my friend, is it you? What are you doing in a Metroid thread?How was your Christmas?
>>729499192You actually want Microsoft's crap in Halo? The hell wrong you?
>>729499249No no. Are you the self proclaimed Supreme Autist?He who argued a man into submission over an enzyme in a Halo book?They say that when the world needed him mkst, he vanished.
How come the Galactic Federation hasn't genocided the space pirates yet? They constantly attack and destroy their colonies and ships
>>729499456What the hell are you even talking about? I just want everything from Microsoft removed from Halo because Microsoft doesn't understand video games and should get out of it, sell off their IPs, allow all of their studios they didn't build to go independent, and stop shitting up everything they put their fingers on.
>>729499460Have you seen their fucking staff?
>>729486639Maybe their civilization began as a band of pirates in the distant past and they've just retained the name.
>>729494167The feds were cloning metroids in Fusion too.
>>729499812That'd be like if Italians called themselves Centurions.Its not Italy. Its"The Centurion Homeworld".
>>729487008God I love the chad power run from NES and Metroid2.Fucking give it back.
>>729499964A lot of family names originate from occupations, so imagine if a really big family of Smiths eventually formed their own government and called it the Smith Nation.
>>729494167Reminds me of how Mikami said they got rid of the Umbrella Corporation too soon to the point that the rest of the series has to keep finding ways of making them responsible for everything that happens even after they've been gone for like 20 years or more.
>>729489479Wtfh is king k.rool doing in f-zero?
>>729495380>>Super Mario Bros.>>They are not called Mario Mario and Luigi MarioFalse.Fake fan.They actually are.>stsrfox>a fox living among stars/spacePerfectly fine.
>>729486639I always found it difficult to treat the space pirates and Ridley as well as anything more than alien animals and a space dragon rather than intelligent creatures with some form of society and hierarchy. Even with the Prime games doing some heavy lifting in fleshing them out as just another intelligent alien species I still struggle to really accept that. Not sure why, I haven't had the same issue with some other species in these games.
>>729499460>why hasn't the usa just obliterated isis yet?>We have fucking nukes. LmaoThis is you.
>>729499460The Space Pirates basically operate wherever the Federation isn't at. And the Federation doesn't have complete control of the whole galaxy. This is the actual explination given in the comic. It's just like Star Wars. The "Galactic Empire" actually only has a firm control of the core systems. Like 75% of the galaxy is ruled by regional governors, hutts or nobody. And half the galaxy is unknown space where Imperial scouts never return from.
>>729500404Isis kills some western folks now and then. The pirates destroy trillion dollar space stations and blow up entire habitable planets. A bit more noteworthy eh?
