How come she can use the Ice Beam again by the end of Fusion since her genetic makeup and compatibility with the Ice Beam was restored after absorbing the SA-X, but it never returned in Dread, making us have to use the Ice Missiles again?
How come Fusion said her DNA was back to normal and then Dread starts off with her "Metroid powers" coming out again? Shouldn't they have been cancelled out after absorbing the SA-X, thus making her back to pre-Fusion condition?
How come Ravenous is all about her giving in to her newfound condition that should have been cancelled out 2 entire games ago according to the games themselves?
Why did Samus go from a compassionate yet solemn hero to le epic motorcycle riding space succubus DoomSlayah tm with no remorse for what she devours?
Why do people launch flaming cannon balls at your family if you point out that this is all kind of stupid?

>compassionate yet solemn hero
You sure like this expression, did chatgpt write it for you?

and another thing, her DNA again should be back to normal after the Quiet Robe-X, but here we are again with this same plot device

because it's a video game

Who gives a fuck about the Metroid story? There really shouldn't even be one at all

You are the most retarded faggot in the world, ACfag
People have explained all of this to you multiple times but you continue to act like this
Jump off a tall building

>>749074824
Idgaf about any lore reason but I don't want to constantly be freezing enemies I mean to one-shot-kill so ice missiles are better than ice beam. anything you shoot a missile at is going to need more than one hit anyway.

Everything else you said is gay nitpicking and I'd like to know the addresses of your family.

>Fusion said her DNA was back to normal
Sakamoto said this after the fact, not the game itself.
>Shouldn't they have been cancelled out after absorbing the SA-X, thus making her back to pre-Fusion condition?
Why would it? Metroids eat the X, not the reverse.

Both the ending of Fusion and that of Dread with Quiet Robe-X giving Samus control over the Metroid Suit were written so that the next game could return to the status quo if the previous game failed or the change was unpopular, but both clearly hoped to continue the subplot and did.
>>
>>749074824
>How come Fusion said her DNA was back to normal and then Dread starts off with her "Metroid powers" coming out again?
Her DNA WAS stable. Raven Beak wanted to activate it, and used the EMMIs to put Samus through stressful conditions to awaken it once more. And once it did, it began to spread like a cancer, replacing the rest of the cells in her body until she was just about 100% metroid. Raven Beak wanted to use the metroids as a weapon, and after Fusion Samus held the last trace of them in the galaxy.

>How come Ravenous is all about her giving in to her newfound condition that should have been cancelled out 2 entire games ago according to the games themselves?
The condition was reopened in Dread, then controlled. Samus getting stabbed through the heart in Ravenous will no doubt play a part. But the game isn't out yet.

>Why did Samus go from a compassionate yet solemn hero to le epic motorcycle riding space succubus DoomSlayah tm with no remorse for what she devours?
We don't talk about Prime 4. But she's still compassionate and solemn, that's how she was when she spoke with Quiet Robe. But she's never been merciful for things that want her dead or try to eat her, and Ravenous is implying her activated metroid genome is changing her personality to match, and she'll need to control it. Her rage in Dread at Raven Beak was well-deserved, and well-placed.

>>749074958
It's not back to normal, it's controlled. The Tho'ha genes Quiet Robe-X gave her allowed her to control the expression of her metroid genome. Without it she would've been stuck as a humanoid metroid in the Metroid Suit, and would've died in the destruction of ZDR.

The guy who keeps acting like they changed anything about Samus in Ravenous when they didn't, she's just the one being hunted now instead of the hunter so she's on the defensive
He also keeps trying to act like the Prime series has any bearing on the main series, just like he does with Other M

they kinda did though

>>749077515
She's being pushed against a proverbial wall, anon, actively fending for her life while being hunted down
That isn't "dey made her ebil now!" or "ahh hecking gurlbozz!"
>>
>le epic motorcycle riding space succubus DoomSlayah tm with no remorse for what she devours
The people who say this make discussing Metroid on 4chan such a fucking chore.

For Prime 4 especially since she is as far from an over-the-top badass as possible there, she ends up having to leave the feds to hold off the bad guy and escape alone.
>>
>>749079143
It doesn't even make sense from a logistical standpoint, she was kicking Sylux's ass 1v1, the threat Sylux presents at his strongest pales in comparison to the danger presented by enemies Samus has already defeated at this point, namely Metroid Prime and Gorea.
And yet, the feds have to kill themselves stalling Sylux to give Samus enough time to flee the planet from a guy who can open wormholes into deep space anyway.
>>
>>749080209
She could kill him, she just doesn't have time to do that and still escape from Viewros.
>>
>>749074824
insider here
the twist is that the title actually means Raven ouch! Ravenbeak returns and you punch him in the dick and he says "Ouch!". Then credits roll.
>>
>>749075912
The best option would be having the normal and ice beam be separate.
>>
>>749080317
>implying Raven Beak would job to that
What's actually going to happen is Samus will punch him in the dick but since it's massive, almost half the size of ZDR, and made of the strongest stuff in the universe, Samus will actually hurt her hand and go ouch. After this, Raven Beak effortlessly dispatches her and gets her DNA, then leaves to have sex with dozens of hot Chozo women begging for his dick in a motion captured 50+ hour long unskippable cutscene with full frontal nudity and penetration.
>>
>>749080273
That's what MacKenzie meant by "Teleporter's not going to last long! You gotta make the jump while you still can"?
What exactly stops Samus from just reactivating it after killing Sylux, or if she can't just do that, then have the feds repair it after killing him and then leave, or, better yet, don't just assume that Sylux is dead and finish the job before he has the chance to jeopardize everything.
>>
>>749081008
It explodes. If you wait too long during the final sequence where you have to press the button it actually blows up and kills you.

Obviously it's a situation they forced in the endgame to conclude the story on a heavy note and sequelbait, but I thought it was fine. The priority was getting off the planet, the Master Teleporter was their only known way and Samus ended up only having the one chance. Staying behind for an unknown chance to fix it or find another way out would've been more reckless than heroic.
>>
>>749081192
I mean yeah, but I thought the explosion was from reactivating a critically damaged teleporter, not that the teleporter being damaged was going to make it explode without any input, otherwise that would've been a major concern during the fight against Sylux, that he could damage it by accident.
>>
>>749081347
Sylux creates a forcefield around the arena to keep himself and Samus/the feds in. I assume he also wanted to avoid damaging the teleporter because he intended to use it himself after getting rid of them. We don't know if his innate warping power from his green energy infusion is powerful/reliable enough to let him leave the planet. He only shoots the teleporter in desperation when he has no other choice so that if he can't leave, nobody will.
>>
Game sequels have no need for lore adherence if it conflicts with their ideas for gameplay and story.
They are even free to implement heavy retcons.
Even books and series do this.
Hell, even nature does that. There are fags who still deny quantum mechanics to this day because they contradict m-muh classical model in some areas. Talk about a fucking retcon by God!
>>
>>749081616
I understand that they wanted to put Samus in a situation where she has no choice but to leave the feds to be murdered by Sylux to save herself and the legacy of the Lamorn, to the extent that Tanabe had the rest of Prime 4 be made around that happening, but the way it was done just sucks, it can't really come across as anything other than Samus looking like a coward rather than as someone who can only mitigate the unfortunate consequences of the actions of others, like how she has no choice but to kill Rundas, Ghor and Gandrayda because of Dark Samus corrupting them.
Also, Sylux can definitely leave Viewros on his own, Tanabe had further plans for him and hopes Retro will do them, so there's no way he'd kill off his favorite character in his first game as a major antagonist, so the feds died failing to stop Sylux from hunting Samus across the universe.
>>
>>749082087
I have no idea what the plans might be now that Tanabe is gone but I'm 100% sure in his vision the Federation platoon would've survived and either imprisoned by Sylux as bait for Samus or mind-controlled like the group of Space Pirates at the start and made to fight her.
