"Samus, you can't solve all your problems by blowing up planets."
"I can try!"
Eh, it's been working out well for her so far.
"Literally watch me."
"The hell I can't!"
It's more like any planet or station she walks on is destined to blow up
"Homestar Runner, did you kill Caleb Rentpayer?!
The "Delete fucking everything" beam has to be one of my favorite arm cannon upgrades
Ah yes the big ass beam, what a classic(not). I hope that samus will totally not lose this power up in a next game like she did for every game.
🤣🤣 i love the caption!
@@Dispencerhere she lost it in the same game she got it
@@Dispencerhere She already lost that power during escape though.
ITS CALLED THE HYPER BEAM!!!!!!
You did it Samus, you really are the Metroid Prime
I loved the Part when she Went "Its Metroid time!" and Metroided around the whole place.
Well no... She's the Metroid Dread. I mean what better way to call the ultimate Metroid hunter, who slayed the Metroid Queen in Metroid 2, becoming the last and ultimate Metroid herself?
she is metroid dread metroid prime was dark samsus who is now dead as of metroid prime 3

@@tanith117 Truly one of the protagonists of all time.
I like the detail that Raven Beak's armor protected him and she only got through because of the little crack on his helmet she gave him during their first encounter
Never noticed that
It's finally clicked for me that every Metroid game is just Samus proving to the universe that she is its apex predator.
She really do be the Ultimate Warrior
@@Glockenspheal I mean It's not trying to but technically you're not wrong.
@@Glockenspheal
She is THE Metroid
“The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.”
“The last Metroid is no longer in captivity.”
@@RetroRadianceLight the Galaxy is still at peace.
I mean, this would be a baller teaser line to have for future Metroid game. Aside from the callback, imagine just how the fans minds would race if we got a teaser that was just that line along with confirmation that it was a sequel.
The last metroid is hunting... the galaxy is at peace
@@TheTriforceDragon id love to see a game where the federation turns on samus after assimilating all that space monstrosity dna
The VA for Samus was so on point in Dread. The soft, caring tone when speaking to that chozo earlier, the sheer scream of desperate rage here... fantastic.
Her name is Nieves "Nikki" García. She's a veteran Spanish voice actor and singer (the gane was developed in Spain, after all). If you want to hear her, she dubbed Naomi Scott in the Aladdin live action remake, and her rendition of "Speechless" ("No callare" in Spanish) is really powerful.
Which begs the question...does that turn Samus into a Disney Princess by proxy? lol

When Adam said “Don’t”, my heart stopped for a second because I thought the real Adam had turned on us, wanting to sacrifice Samus for the sake of galactic peace. Needless to say my relief when he explained was immeasurable.
Adam wanting to sacrifice Samus sounds like a neat concept for a future game imo
@@duckway4733 nah, not worth it. It would be against his character.
@@OmniGundam777 Yeah, and that would go against what happened in Fusion. When AI Adam had scoffed at Samus wanting to sacrifice herself to destroy the X, basically saying, "you are the biggest threat against those who threaten galactic peace, willfully killing yourself would only help those that would endanger that peace" and that Samus willingly throwing her life away would completely throw out human Adam's sacrifice making his death essentially pointless.
Suffice to say, yes, AI Adam deciding that Samus must be eliminated would be a completely 180 in terms of his characterization.
if you listen throughout the game adam has been acting weird since you lost contact with him at the start of the game.
i mean for starters he seems to be raven beaks number one fan. and he doesnt once call you by your affectionate nickname.
and while adam would tell you to hide, he would then tell you when you're ready to kick ass. "adam" never really does that.
i mean it's subtle, but you can kinda tell "adam" isnt really himself today,
@@OmniGundam777 Now, if it were Other M Adam...
That bossfight took me quite a few tries, so when Samus was just screaming at his face and not letting go at him, I really felt some deep validation. She had just as much enough of this guy as I had.
Yeah, try him on Dread mode and you'll see how much satisfaction you'll get.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had as much difficulty in playing a Metroid game before. The only time that I ever came close to the frustration that I felt playing Dread due to it's difficulty was Fusion (specifically, the spider boss). But when even minibosses are hard to kill, you know the game is just too difficult. It's almost as difficult as Ghosts 'n Goblins on NES.
@@astrofan1993 Closest I got to this difficulty was the first time fighting Phantoon in Super Metroid when I was 5.
@@astrofan1993honestly, with the parrying making theblast game ezpz babyfood, I was worried.
They really knocked it out of the park with Dread, I cant beleive a modern nintendo title had the balls to be challenging lol
Same here. But the weird thing is when I did it in hard mode, it took me less tries.
Man, bad guy or not, Raven Beak was badass as hell. Until Samus geeked out and went “extinction event on legs” mode he was straight clowning her
His Armor Design is also pretty badass as well. And you can easily see the similarities to Samus Armor which makes it even better.
@@urkeksi4490 They really make it clear that Samus, for all her training and lethality, really doesn’t know what the full capabilities of a Chozo suit are. Raven Beak does, and damn does he show them off.
Him ripping off his own wing while transitioning to phase 3 said all I needed to know about his badassery
@@orbitalbutt6757 Ya like even until the very end he look so chill like he hasn't even broken a sweat yet. It was only going full metroid mode and catching him off guard she won in the end.
@@toddelmsworth640 that was just his way of roasting a certain one winged mamas boy. "One wing? Nah i dont need it i dont have mommy issues. I MAKE daddy issues"
Love the symbolism of her being the last Metroid killing the last X Parasite and X Quiet Robe giving himself up so Samus can go back to normal (at least pre Metroid suit) and escape the ZDR’s destruction
And don't forget that she didn't exactly lost her metroid powers. For what I can understand from the Lore she was Mawkin genetically dominant and she wasn't able to control her powers, and considering that Metroids were designed to be controlled by the Thoha and aggressive against the Mawkin tribe. Now that Samus can control her Metroid genetic, it open more possibilities for game dynamics in future games.
@@dnor16 yeah that mostly makes sense. It seems Quiet robe X calm her down giving her Thoha/Thoja DNa controlling he Metroid DNA or at least making it more docile and going dormant
Well... How are you so sure that the X parasites of ZDR were completely destroyed? 😱
As someone who’s never played a Metroid game, this all sounds like gibberish to me. Lol
@@DrentifulGaming To be fair, most of what was just said was introduced in Dread.
Remember back when people thought Samus’ name was Metroid? The circle is now complete
Metroid Man VS the Chorizos
Kind of interesting that, while the X are supposed to be essentially mindless mimics, Quiet Robe there either is in control... or the X that took his form took so MUCH of his form that it gained his memories as well, and understood what needed to be done, even though it'd mean the destruction of the X parasite itself in the process. In a way it shows that they could evolve to be more than just devouring 'grey goo' mimics. Maybe. Or Quiet Robe was just the abberation among them.
I believe the X do take the memories of the host, ie able to understand Samus' suit and all its weaponry, knowing how to turn the robots back on etc
Yeah... No. The X can take the memories, intelligence, and abilities of the host (it was explained in Fusion). That's what made the X so terrifying. If they didn't, what's a few planets worth of species to wipe out the X?
@@PenguinAndMoogle I think it's more like, they take the memories, but they simply don't know how to use them, since they themselves are without mind. They are just ridiculously hungry/hostile to EVERYTHING, and anything organic is under threat of absorption when they're around. The reason they're a galactic threat is that they're basically Grey Goo, only instead of being nanomachines deconstructing everything into more nanomachines, they're amoebic organics with an amped up defensive factor (the mimicry) and a natural instinct to Devour.
When they absorb a sentient being, or an animal, they might absorb its natural capabilities entirely, and utilize them...but it doesn't innately understand those things. It Does because it Does.
But maybe, just maybe, an X eats something that, when rebuilding its form into that shape, it assumes not just the physical structure, but the actual mental structure as well, in a kind of carbon-copy. It isn't the original... but it's strangely close enough, which separates it from the others that JUST rebuild the physical structure as a framework to use.
"confused by their newly borrowed intelligence"
I always believed the X were more than meet the eyes and were actually much more smart than what most people assume.
It however depend on the host. If an X parasite use a mindless creature X. It will only be just a more agressive version of it.
However, if it copy an actual sentient person, they ALWAYS act with much more profund plans.
Metroid Fusion: a X try to blow up the entire station by overheating the generator in Sector PYR.
Metroid Fusion: a SA-X actually HELP against the Omega Metroid. Recognizing that the metroids are a the bigger fish to fry even compared to them.
Someone did the numbers....somewhere, I think it was on reddit. Samus has destroyed, or been involved in the destruction, directly or indirectly in around 30% of the planets we know she has been on. This is a concerning number.
Samus for god of destruction 2022.
😓.... "god of destruction"?
really?
you do know it isnt samus that destroys it? Zebes was destroyed by a time bomb set by the pirates, phaaze died after dark samus died, dark aether collapsed as a result of samus taking the last of the planetary energy, SR388 was from the BSL exploding in close proximity to it and finally zdr was destroyed by itorash somehow. Samus herself has never destroyed a planet
@@meta9492 Good lord, man! Have you ever heard of a joke before??
If she doesn't get your vote, she'll destroy your planet next
@@meta9492 Samus took the last of the planetary energy, therefore she did destroy one.
I find it crazy to know that she went from killing metroids to becoming one and then right back to normal again
I mean she technically has been a metroid since the gene splicing in Fusion's opening scene.
@@HenshinFanatic yea
Samus has never been technically normal, before she was Metroid she was part chozo
@@masonhill5157 i think the Chozo knew this day were coming, and made sure everything was prepared. They were the ones that made the Metroids. The Chozo gave Samus 2 sets of DNA, the warrior and the set that prevents Metroids from losing their shit facing warrior Chozo like Raven beak. So they prepared for the future, so that Samus could become the ultimate warrior, a Metroid herself. Maybe she will be able to control those powers and we might see something similar to what dark Samus could do. Like the echo clones and stuff.
She can't be normal
I really liked the part where Samus goes "It's metroid time" and metroids all over those guys
It's morbing time?? 🤨🤨🤨
Dead 💀
That joke is already getting boring
HER NAME IS METROID
🔥🔥😠It's roiding time 😠🔥🔥
The fact that she continued struggling for that entire monologue basically is my favorite detail. She never really gave up at any point in that.

Everyone in the Smash House: (Points towards Pit)
Doomguy: I thought that was just fan stuff.
Bowser: Yeah, but that doesn't mean she hasn't tried...
I think What really caused her to snap was Raven Beak insisting she was his daughter. Maybe she remembered her real father (as well as the chozo that raised her) and that gave her the Will to keep going.
absolutely no doubt in my mind that the devs were considering that. I felt it too lol- Samus was mad as fuck about that
Power of Family
No, what made her snap was literally everything. This woman has gone through so much shit, worked so hard to keep Ridley and the Space pirates at bay repeatedly, then the Metroids, then the X as a result of the Metroids being culled (oops), then this prick getting the better of her and using herself as a weapon.
19 years to get a sequel to conclude the entire franchise with one game and end all the bullshit- this anime cliche was the best use of it because the catharsis was felt by every Metroid fan that's been waiting this long to finally see Samus just fucking go beast mode, and it's arguably the best moment in the franchise's history because of it.
Without a doubt. Raven Beak absolutely pissed her off with that remark.
@@Hysteria98true but also she finally gets some real closure on WTH happened in the past with quiet robe, just for raven beak to spout a bunch of bs to her, I think that was the tipping point

Seeing Samus snap like that really shocked me.
Well, considering what Raven Beak put her through in this game and throughout her life, it's only natural she'd go into a berserker rage
Yeah, it surprised the shiitake out of me! I think Raven Beak failed to hear of that First Rule of the Fanatic... Samus never had a chance to learn of it, yet they *DID* become the very things that were out-and-out *SCARY.* At least Quiet Robe set things right and posthumously saved Samus.
Same respect as RAGE goku, RAGE naruto, RAGE PERIOD. She was rage mode💯

That just proves how powerful this new form/power is.
But planetary explosion still too strong!
@@IamCanadian3333 Which isn't much of a surprise. You need ridiculously large amounts of energy to actually blow up a planet. That little fortress wasn't even remotely close. Kinda like comparing a minor firecracker to a Tsar Bomba, except the difference is way bigger.

Well Metroid Dread is the proof that Nintendo is always willing to give the franchise a try, even if their sales has been always lower compared their other franchises (the best metroid games had barelly sold 2M compared to 30M of most pokemon main games for example)
@@cristiany140 Well they definitely seem to be giving it a big push with Dread and Prime 4. The Prime one remaster was a lot of work they didn't have to do.
Nintendo literally doesn't understand the character. In Japan they view her as some kind of motherly figure, while the west views her as a silent, troubled mercenary badass. I know she was created in Japan but I'll say with confidence, they've got the wrong interpretation of the character, and seeing her in Metroid Dead really validates the badass version of her.
@@cristiany140 Dread was supposed to be released way earlier than it was though, it was on the back burner for like 16 years.

To be fair, she had just stabbed him through the eye, and was draining his life force at insane levels. Of course he's going to drop to the floor.
Something I just noticed, but whenever you kill an X with the beam in the Metroid suit the X is just straight up obliterated.
Every other weapon in Samus's arsenal can only force an X back into it's blob-like state, but that final beam just straight up wipes them from existence.

I unironically love the design of the Metroid suit here. The mix of mechanical and organic components in Samus' classic suit colors looks amazing, and I like the sort of jagged edges that match up with its relation to her anger. I wouldn't mind it coming back for future games as a sort of temporary "rage mode".
5:37 I could only imagine what would have happened, if Adam didn't stop her, It's nice you got the metroid form and all but you can't survive a planetary explosion, Quiet Robe X knew where to go immediately after his "revival" but did the X parasite share the sentiment, or was Quiet Robe controlling it? So many questions with this awesome scene, Metroid Dread was done right!
It wasn't ADAM who stopped her, it was Quiet Robe X who stopped her.
X Parasites inherit all memories and powers of its host.
It also complicates the narrative that X are unfeeling monsters solely focused on self-propagation established in Fusion. Much like how Samus thought Metroids were unthinking beasts until the Baby
@@justinokraski3796 I think when you reach the end of fusion, you realize the x aren't focused solely on self propagation as the Sa-X attacks the Omega Metroid to defend Samus, but I agree that Quiet Robe X saving Samus at the end of Dread adds to the complexity of what was previously thought to be a very simple, viral parasyte.

@@elijahjackson3261 I think part of it is that it's easier to do zelda and mario games because the storylines across games are connected very loosely.

No, y’all don’t understand. Metroid means “ultimate warrior” in Chozo. So Samus actually became the “ultimate warrior”. While yes, she actually became a biological Metroid, she also became the best hunter in the galaxy

I mean, we all thought they were dead when the space station hit that planet, too, yet here they were again.
At this point, I fully believe they aren't completely gone yet.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an entirely separate colonized planetary system out there somewhere, filled with hyper-evolved X, that are only being contained because of a strain of Metroid People, like Samus has become, but who evolved naturally, that are combating the threat on their own, unknown even to space-faring species like the Luminoth or the Chozo.

Also I'm glad that after all these years, calling Samus "Metroid" is no long entirely erroneous.
This is going to make the mosterslayer/space marine gang fan art a bit different.
So now can we call her Metroid?
Of course. And more importantly, we can call her the last Metroid.
You could since Fusion.
Technically, given what Metroid means in Chozo (Ultimate Warrior), she was always Metroid from day one.
I think the baby Metroid saved Samus again
Talk about killing two birds with one stone (pun intended).
You know a scenes good when it still gives you chills
This is Samus going... even... further BEYOND
PLUS METROID!
metroid prime 4 bro
To think that birdman still had fight in him after all that... Geeez
this is still hands down my favorite scene of all metroid, just the primal rage of samus sticking her hand through raven beak head asorbing him and screaming only to reveal she gets the metroid suit was just so badass.
I love how she graps his head and jump over him, emulating how the original metroids drain your energy
Man this game was great, I hope Nintendo keeps making Matroid stuff because obviously they still know how to make ‘em
"No Dad, I don’t WANNA take a nap!"
One thing I noticed, was that as she was throttling him, many paid attention to the fact that now she's a metroid she wasn't letting go of his head. In my case I noticed Raven Beak wasn't just trying to pry her off him, but also shoot her off him with what I assume to be an ice beam in his power suit, since their suits are of similar design. Yet Samus kept dodging the cannon no matter how many times he tried aiming it while trying to pry her off. Unlike the Metroids, she's not letting him have a fighting chance.
Basically the escape scene can be done just by walking and jumping. bad guys die by you touching them and the jumping only for the parts when you have to jump.
I mean that's how most of the escape sequences go in this game it's supposed to be a spectacle the rest of the game is the challenge this is your reward

Beating this game on Dread Mode is still one of my greatest accomplishments.
As Metroid rapidly becomes Nintendo’s resident horror franchise, not even the protagonist is immune to being a horror monster
The Metroid prime games had the data logs that read like a mook horror show from the perspective of the space pirates.
Raven Beak: Power.....is everything
Samus: I'm about to end this man's fucking career
She looks like she's been hunting Deviljhos for the last week.
So chronologically speaking, this is like, what, the 10th planet Samus has destroyed?
Well, it was never really explained why or how the planet blew up. The only planet Samus purposefully blew up was SR388.
@@see.eye.2361And Dark Aether.
@@see.eye.2361 The force of the massive ship hitting the largely hollow planet likely did it.
This was the first Metroid game that I've ever played and beaten, and Jesus holy fuck, that scream is one of the most satisfying moments in gaming history.
Just realized the hyper beam in dread came from raven beak instead of mother brain
I love this dang game. The story was so simple yet so intriguing and every twist was amazing.
I absolutely love the design choice for the Metroid Suit. It's just straight up Dark Samus with a pallet swap. Really great nod to the Prime series.
The part when samus says "i am the metroid" always gets me.
It's Metroidin' time!
And the she Metroided all over the place
Still one of the best endings with "Don't." Every planet-exploding Metroid game (read: most of them) has ended with Samus unapologetically hopping in the ship and skipping town. That breif 'hey wait' is incredibly touching,
I've been playing Metroid for 20 years. This is the best scene in the franchise's history. Just years and years of rage all unloaded in one primal yell as she goes apeshit on some turbo narcissistic villain. 10/10 game
I love the further metroid behavior of her going for Raven Beak's head
Turning into an energy absorbing thing while killing an evil bird alien is very relatable.
Man, Nintendo went hard af with Raven Beak
Calling samus metroid is a bit more justified now
Raven Beak's plan made her remember the scrapped pitch of Metroid prime 1.5. She didn't want to deal with another villain creating an army of genetically modified Samus for galactic conquest.
My only request for the next Smash Brothers is that Samus gets a redesign based on her Dread counterpart.
She absolutely will. That or prime 4. But most likely dread since it is much more unique than prime 4's.
Samus Aran has been silently stewing about all the BS she has been dealing with over the course of 10 games.
You can hear all that bottled up anger in that guttural scream of primal and feral rage!
The scary part? Samus wasn't even TRYING to bring Hanubia down. The scope of her power is downright terrifying.
Also, people like to debate that Quiet Robe was in control, but I don't know. X sacrificing themselves to weaken a predator is nothing new. Just look at the Blue X from Metroid, and even the SA-X. That could very well have been a purely practical thing for the X to do with the intent of depowering Samus' fully awakened Metroid abilities. No soul, no Quiet Robe, merely the X's dangerous, cold-hearted tactics.
Your second paragraph, I disagree 100%, and I've seen this idea brought up. The X are also shown to be intelligent, both in Fusion and in Dread, that is nothing new either. QR-X doing what it did had no logic, because all he ended up doing was saving Samus. There was no logic to "nerfing" Samus, when the planet's explosion would have outright killed her anyways, thereby killing the only threat to the X's existence.
The way QR-X bowed right before sacrificing itself to save Samus is very telling that QR was in control, or at the very least, it had regained most of QR's original personality. Plus the soothing music to go along with it further shows it was a selfless act of benevolence, not a blind irrational "dangerous, cold-hearted tactic."
@@IamCanadian3333 QR-X's bowing could've merely been mimicking the original's behavior, and the music could've been an added effect on the Devs' part to sell the act, or at the very least to leave room for doubt. Neither of these points can really be called evidence pointing to Quiet Robe being in control.
@@ethicalapemen3686 Yes they very much are evidence, fairly strong evidence. Yes, mimicking the original's behavior and their personality.
At the end of the day, I guess, it's up to the developers/Sakamoto on what is fact, and if he ends up going with either theory, it is what it is. But until then, I have not seen any evidence that is remotely convincing of why QR-X would do something so pointless and irrational, the X are quite intelligent and all the evidence shows otherwise.
@@IamCanadian3333 It's not *conclusive* evidence. You can say it suggests one thing, I'm merely pointing out another viable possibility that's equally viable. In the end, no real conclusion can be reached. You need more evidence.
Meanwhile, my argument is based on established behavior of the X. The QR-X's behavior is not the first time an X deliberately sacrificed itself in an "irrational" manner. There were the Blue X in Fusion that, prior to getting the Varia Suit, would suicide-attack Samus to freeze her, even though they'd still be absorbed. Their existence would still end.
Not to mention the time when the X almost blew up the BSL Space Station itself, just to kill Samus, despite the fact that this would've vaporized the X onboard. Adam noted this. It's been established that X are willing to destroy themselves and even an entire group if it means wiping out an enemy.
I'm just going with what's been established before: the X are soulless parasites. They are indeed capable to a degree of critical thinking and planning; that was already established. However, there's no benign motivation behind their actions. As such, the idea that QR-X is benevolent is not an idea that can nor should be taken at face value. The first and natural conclusion was that it was a tactical move to depower Samus. Nothing more, and nothing less. And to try and insist on anything else would not only be baseless, but also dangerous for Samus.
@@ethicalapemen3686 But it is strong evidence. Your alternate theory is pretty flimsy in the larger picture, ie. you definitely need more evidence, stronger evidence at that.
"Meanwhile, my argument is based on established behavior of the X. The QR-X's behavior is not the first time an X deliberately sacrificed itself in an "irrational" manner.

My argument is also on the established behavior of the x. You are also being dishonest about that specific instance, and completely missed what my argument here was, so I'll elaborate. The point about QR-X wanting to "nerf" Samus as being pointless, is not because it was sacrificing itself, it's because the planet was about to explode, which would have killed Samus, thus completely destroying the last Metroid DNA in the universe aka the only threat the existence of the X aka would have done the job for it. All it ended up doing was saving her life, allowing her to live with the Metroid DNA, and continue to be a threat to the X (assuming there are any more X out there). It was completely irrational and would only end up hurting the X in the long run. The Blue X doesn't support your argument by any means. Yes they were willing to sacrifice themselves, but said-sacrifices would be meaningful. In the case of the blue X, it was an attempt to kill her, or at least harm her. She wasn't in any immediate peril or was about to die anyways. What QR-X did is not what the blue X did, as Samus was about to die anyways, thereby automatically "nerfing" Samus anyways. Again, to point out, this only ended up saving Samus, and this would mean she is a threat to other potential X out there, thus what QR-X did was not for the benefit if its race, but only served to hurt its race in the long-run.
"Not to mention the time when the X almost blew up the BSL Space Station itself, just to kill Samus, despite the fact that this would've vaporized the X onboard. Adam noted this. It's been established that X are willing to destroy themselves and even an entire group if it means wiping out an enemy."
This doesn't help your argument, it actually only strengthens mine. You also partially missed what Adam had fully said. They did this because Samus was a threat to their entire species, so they were willing to mass self-sacrifice in order to protect X elsewhere (aka on SR388 and ZDR and potentially others if they still exist). They are clearly think in long-terms, and were willing to resort to such extreme measures, because even though Samus was weak then, they saw her growing in strength, and knew she was the only one capable of opposing them. This actually further strengthens my point: QR-X defied this entire premise, as all he ended up doing was saving Samus.
"I'm just going with what's been established before: the X are soulless parasites. They are indeed capable to a degree of critical thinking and planning; that was already established.

As am I: the X are cold yet calculating, are able to see the larger picture and are not short-sighted. And there very much is motivation behind their actions: the survival of their entire race (as well as spread and evolve into more powerful forms). Given what we know of the X in whole (and not just selectively cherry-picking or manipulating current knowledge) and given what we saw of QR-X, the first and natural conclusion was that it was a benevolent move to save Samus. Nothing compex, it really is that simple. This is further proven that the vast majority of the fanbase believes this, and to say otherwise, is just an attempt to be contrarian and different. Don't know how it is "dangerous" for Samus lol.
I'll say this, if the planet wasn't about to explode, then you would have a much stronger argument, otherwise, it's very flimsy.
One question:
Technically she is the last and strongest Metroid alive
She qualifies as a Metroid Queen?
If yes, the Metroid franchise is going to get a HUGE turn
It appears so. But my question as well is
Since she also has chozo blood in her veins as well with the Metroid DNA...
Is she still even considered human anymore?
@@ailoriarayne5086 Samus is Samus. I think she’s in her own category at this point.
Metroid CHAMPION
For what little story they had, it's amazingly well done
Samus used HYPER BEAM. It was super effective.
The gravity suit was in fact infected by the metroid virus afterall
That dude forgot his fundamentals. When it latches on to you, you have to roll into a ball and drop bombs.
GODS THAT SCREAM IS PURE WRATH!!!
Samus is the last metriod out of captivity, the galaxy is still at peace, maybe even more.
