    Honestly, I don't know why nobody considered this for the ship opening at the top:
    Even in Prime 3, we do see what looked like a hatch at the top of the ship. It's never used, but there's clearly something.
    I think the ship always had the two hatch and still does, but the bottom hatch is for also docking the ship. While the top hatch is for all purposes, so she doesn't need to dock or something.

    It's worth pointing out that Metroid 1 is set in 20X5, and yet we've had statements of multiple years passing prior to Federation Force (3 years to Prime 1, and "several years" between Corruption and Federation Force), and that it's the decade that's obscured with an X, meaning these could easily be different decades without revealing so.

    In Federation Force the year 20X6 mentioned in the intro can also just be interpreted as the year Phaaze was destroyed and Project Golem was started. So it could be possible that the events of that game happen in 20X7 or maybe even later. And this should still be enough time for Sylux to start cloning some Metroids and cooperating with the pirates.

    An interesting fact about Samus' new redesigned armor is that it retains some design elements from prime 3's P.E.D suit such as the white stomach and inner thigh area, the bicep armor is also pretty similar being in 3 distinct sharp edged pieces.
    It helps sell the idea that this happens not necessarily right after prime 3, but perhaps after some time has passed where samus was able to use chozo tech to reconstruct her armor back to it's intended design.

    I've always wanted the Metroid series to branch out but not through film, rather through pulp stories or manga. Various adventures of Samus through out her career as a bounty hunter, exploring new world and battling strange concepts would be a fun and relatively inexpensive way to grow the franchise/ satisfy the fans.

    I think that for us to properly accept Sylux as a villain, they NEED to give us at least one pivotal cutscene where he reveals his identity, and he needs to have a voice actor.

      They just have to show us that he's Solomon Aran, and imply an intense jealousy or blind hatred of Samus. That way, only she would understand the connection that they have and will have the agency to actually stop and think about how to proceed. The Ravenbeak revelation was momentous, but felt secondary to her actions since it was a part of the final boss sequence. But if she finds out ahead of time and has time to deliberate/sort her feelings out, then there could be a resolution to it beyond just killing him out of circumstantial necessity

    To be honest, the cosmic year calendar system has always been a continuity issue in Metroid to the point that the fanbase has simply suggested everyone just ignore it and just focus on using a simple Metroid timeline that shows where each game takes place rather than focusing on the cosmic years.
    Also, Prime 4 taking place 3 years after Federation Force does not make sense because if it takes place after Super Metroid, then there should be no Metroids (not even Mochtroids) alive whatsoever, the Space Pirates faction should be extremely weakened to the point of them being a no show, and why would Sylux wait 3 years to strike after he already has just been stalking Samus and just stole a Metroid egg? It does not make sense for him to wait that long.
    Unless time travel can somewhat address this, I say don't pay attention to the cosmic year calendar.

    Amped about this game, even though it needs to offer something more than just being a rehash of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (even though its ironically my favorite of series). It just can't simply be two different worlds with traversal means as well as puzzle solving, but it also have to be traveling between at least 3 or 4 different time periods to truly see how the whole world change.
    Even though Phazon's story may be truly over and wouldn't come back in the game, there's a chance that it could still be coming back and would makes for a great showcase of said change in one of time period. Say the earliest period that Samus would travels to is already shown in trailer close to the end with lush beautiful world while the latest current period would be dark desolated barren world as we seen in the opening shot. But what if there another period that Samus can travels to in between, one that shows the whole world in midst of being corrupted by impacted and growing Phazon's influences. That would makes for a great twists and also provide a potential motivation for Sylux to acquire a great power that he couldn't at any time in Prime Trilogy, especially with failing to do so during the Hunter game.

    Regarding the timeline, Metroid has been pretty consistent. The only thing that confuses me, is Samus's gunship. From Metroid Prime 3, Samus is seen flying the same gunship. But in Samus Returns, and onwards, it's nowhere to be seen.
    My guess is that Prime 4 still takes place before Samus Returns, despite the mocktroids making an appearance, and I'm hoping that it'll show why Samus never uses that particular gunship moving forward.

    It's probably not canon but the mochtroids did make a 2nd which was in the Prime Hunters Demo, where they were given a 3D model for us to reference. And in the Demo they they looked longer and slimmer than the OG Metroids. Though in terms of plot, there's no real reason to bring the mochtroids back, they're bargin bin Metroids. Like the only reason Samus even got to see Mochtroids was because she was too hot on Ridley's tail in Super for the Pirates to be well past the mochtroid stage in cloning Metroids.

    I've tried looking into it, but nowhere I looked (not even the OG instruction manuals) has a date (cosmic year) for Metroid 2 and beyond. There is an American commercial for Super Metroid that mentions "Galactic Cosmic Year 20X7," but most point that it isn't Canon as it was never fully approved by Nintendo of Japan.
    Dates that are facts that I found are as follows. Galactic Federation was established in Galactic Cosmic Year 2000, Samus' Zero Mission happened in GCY 20X5, Prime 1 takes place 3 years later (so GCY 20X8) and Prime 4 has shown us GCY 20X9. That means most of the Prime games happened within the span of a year. And again, nothing past Metroid 2 has official dates other than recaps of Samus' 1st mission on Zebes in GCY 20X5. Both Metroid 2 and 3 mention this.
    I will leave off with this, as the X can be any number within that span of time, even the "non canon" date of Super Metroid of 20X7 might not be that wrong. All this dates could look as followed:
    Galactic Federation est 2000
    Galactic Federation finds 1st Metroid 2005 and start research
    Samus' birth 20X6 (could be 2016)
    20X9 Space Pirates invade K2L (2019)
    Samus age 14 20X0 under the Chozo (2030)
    Samus' Zero Mission 20X5, I believe the canon manga mentions she is 19 at the time (2035)
    Metroid Prime 20X8 Samus' age 22 (2038)
    Prime 4 20X9 Samus 23 (2039)
    Super Meroid 20X7 (could be 2047) Samus 31.
    Not saying this is correct but it all comes down to Prime 4's placement as for now the fan base seems divided on "it's after Super but before Fusion" which can be debated then as "why is there a baby metroid when the last one Samus found at the end of Metroid 2 and we know what happened to that Metroid and the batch of Metroids the Space Pirates created and what the GF did with its DNA afterwards in secret. Then there is the camp that believes we are still in before Metroid 2 territory.

    So apparently you’re looking forward to the dialogue and cutscenes from Prime 4’s story? LOL! You’re clearly not a true fan of the Metroid Prime series & are setting yourself up with disappointment. The original Prime had almost no dialogue and cutscenes. The original Metroid Prime masterfully told its story through natural ways during gameplay, exploration of landscapes and scanning.

    16:33 inb4 they introduce an ai companion to samus that will narrate everything happening to annoying detail, will never shut up, have a cringe sense of humour, an annoying voice and cannot be turned off
