I want the alternate universe where we learn Samus's backstory through a decent movie instead of a horrible game, lmao. So strange Nintendo was so hesitant to pull the trigger when they had all this talent at their doorstep waiting for the greenlight, but are perfectly fine with Sakamoto running wild with Other M and trashing almost everything people liked about the story and Samus's character.
Because Samus was never supposed to be a _standarized_ character, part of the core of the series is that each player over the years has stablished an interpretation of Samus's personality due of how vague the games are with the setting, sure it may have started that way because NES limitations but now it's part of the series gameplay (isolation, heavy focus on environmental exploration/storytelling, etc.) And the fact that the majority of people didn't liked other M is proof that a Metroid movie would have never worked. They tried to standardize Samus and remove all things that made Metroid fun (the investigantion/speculation) and look how it turned up. It's like when people ask for a Zelda movie, realizing that also the moment Link opens his mouth is the moment the character is ruinned.
@@Xfushion2 I dunno, I definitely think it's possible. There are so many sci-fi movies that work beautifully where the main character barely talks that much, Blade Runner comes to mind (at least the final cut). There's an entire beautifully done scene that's like 7 minutes long where he is just analyzing photo evidence with sci-fi tech while creepy music plays. By the end of the story there's still so much of the world and its story to speculate on, including the origins of the main character. It's a quiet, atmospheric, dark movie with small peaks of action and plot progression when needed, then at the end it leaves you wondering about a million things without seeming like it was sloppily put together. It was made as a huge world that respects the viewer enough to speculate about it. I think that's what a top tier Metroid movie would be like.
@@Deadflower20xx Honestly, Other M barely even touches Samus’ backstory tbh. We see a lot more into her past in the manga, Zero Mission, and subtly through some scan logs in Prime.
Funny. If you read the metroid manga, you know she's basically OG Mandalorian as far as backstory goes. Look at his (Din Djarin) origins and then back at samus origins and you'll see the very obvious parallels. Many match up perfectly, like both adopting a "baby".
I don't know much about the Mandalorian as I haven't watched it, but you're not wrong. Considering Metroid is a series inspired directly by the Aliens franchise, I feel like it'd make sense for Samus to have a keen interest in xeno-biology, a curiosity instilled in her from a young age when she was raised by her surrogate guardians, the Chozo. After all, she does seem to have some fond memories of the creatures of Zebes that helped her learn some crucial skills (one game-breaking, even X3), so maybe she's an animal lover? I know it might sound cliche or predictable to say, but considering the parallels, I could totally see Samus Aran being voiced by Sigourney Weaver...hell, in my head, that's her canon voice. X3
@@bluestreaker9242 The Mandolorian is a space western about a Mandolorian bounty hunter from a fringe cult of Mandolorians who don't live on Mandolore who is ordered to retrieve a baby from Yoda's species (who the internet incorrectly dubbed "Baby Yoda", though his actual name has since been revealed) from remnants of the Galactic Empire (well before the First Order became a thing). However, he grows attached to the baby (then simply known as "The Child" even though he's fifty years old, as his species ages far slower) and decides to rescue him and get him back to its own people. It's sort of like how Samus grows attached to the baby metroid in Metroid II/Samus Returns lol. It's a really good show from the creators of the hit cartoons Star Wars: The Clone Wars (not to be confused with Star Wars: Clone Wars by Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai Jack fame) and Star Wars Rebels, I highly recommend it.
I wouldn't say she adopts the baby Metroid as much as she feels pity for it and spares it. She does eventually leave it on Ceres Station so the scientist can experiment on it before Ridley attacks. But after Super Metroid she does have gratitude for it for saving her life.
NormalBoots is like a TV show, they disappear for a long period of time and just appear with a new logo/person joining, and then after a while, the same thing happens.
I think Woo's treatment would have been a sight to behold too. I'm just disappointed and little surprised that they were so dead set on the traditional backstory approach. To "echo" what was stated later in the video, the first Metroid movie doesn't have to follow the well-traveled coming of age narrative to be great. Too bad they didn't realize that when they had the opportunity.

The majority of the comments point out how difficult it is to make a main character who is mostly silent. There is one franchise that manages to do a lot with a little and that Mad Max. He's literally a side character in most of his movies. That might be one way to keep the "undevelopedness" of the character's backstory from showing thin. Same thing happened with the Man With No Name movies. Of course it's entirely possible I don't know what I'm talking about.
I immediately thought of Mad Max too, but the difference is that Max has a host of other characters to carry the plot forward for him. When a large part of your movie is likely to be Samus by herself, writing a compelling "undeveloped" character is much trickier. I think borrowing from Aliens/Prime 2/Other M (or even Rambo (i.e. Rambo 4) now I think of it) where she's the expert/muscle among a platoon would do a lot to relieve some of that burden. Then for at least the last third of the movie, after she's been established, she's on her own (again, like Aliens, but drawn out to deliver true-to-game isolation). The tricky part, when comparing to Aliens and Rambo, is that they both had at least an entire movie to establish the protagonists as experts. We understand Ripley's fear of the xenomorph and her frustrations with the marines' underestimation because we've seen Alien. Without that she'd just come across as a paranoid worry-wart. So you'd have to devote 15-20 minutes upfront to establish Samus as an expert and the Metroids as a real threat, plus that half an hour at the end to deliver isolation, and you're not left with a ton of time in the middle to establish a compelling story. If it was pushed out to 2+hours in length it could be done though.
@@NoeLPZC, excellent! Now that's what I'm talking about! Rambo is a good template, where most of the time you watch the bad guys and establish just how good the Hero actually is at what they do. I'd even venture to guess that the movie shouldn't start on Zebes, but during a bounty mission. And some character growth for Samus would be underestimating the Metroids. When the Greatest has a twinkle of fear in her eye you can make the goal of the movie to overcome that fear.
I've seen a few arthouse-ish movies that are only mostly about one character, don't have much dialogue, and are done well. The only one that comes to me right now is eraserhead. The thing is, I assume nintendo would want to market this movie to as many people as possible, of all ages, and those types of movies definitely aren't for everyone. Also those movies tend to run on their atmosphere and the implications of what they do and the world they're in, and I tend to think that those movies are harder to make well rather than an average blockbuster.
@@TheMissingLink2 The story is bad, everything from fusion onwards was just about shackling the independent powerhouse character into being a silent obedient troop under Adam and his AI form. The prime series does better atleast.
@@tellurianapostle Clown post. In no way is Samus "shackled," under Adam in Fusion and Dread. At most, she takes the A.I's advice and intel seriously because it's built off of someone she trusted. Hell, the Adam A.I isn't even in Zero Mission or Samus Returns so I have no idea what you're talking about here.
@@tellurianapostle You've got a point in the shackling thing. Fusion starts with Samus being the weakest she's been in her entire career. Notice how Fusion is the only game where she places her left hand under her arm cannon while all the other have her left hand on top. On top is to control recoil; under is to help lift it. Gameplay also has you take massive damage from enemies, which is why you get like 20 energy tanks in that one. Also, it used to be a big point that Samus could ledge hang due to her suit being so light in Fusion, but SR and Dread kinda retconned that cuz seriously, the SR suit was huge. Samus knows that she's been stripped of her former power, and the Federation is what saved her. The Federation had to save her with the vaccine, the Federation had to replace her ship, and now she's part dangerous parasite. The Galactic Federation Civilization absolutely fears Metroids, so she couldn't go to the people for bounty work. With all these factors, she knew that the Federation were the only ones she could turn to, so she kind of begrudgingly submitted to do their work. In Fusion she even had to rely on the Federation to send weapons data for her. The events of Fusion made her powerful again, and she learned about the Federation Illuminati trying to clone Metroids, so that's when she grasped her independence again. One thing I would have changed is when Samus is locked in the comms room, they should have made a way for you to escape without needing to convince the Adam ai. This would have showed Samus has truly become independent again, ignoring Federation orders so she can do what she thinks is right. Once you get to the station control room, that's where Samus could have shown the Adam ai that she was doing the right thing. Come Dread, she's independent again, and she kept Adam along for companionship; I think Samus wants friends, but everything and everyone she knows keeps dying around her, and she probably blames herself for some of them. So the best companionship she can have is a computer cuz it can't really die lol. But at this point, she's not taking orders from anyone but herself. She's back to being a bounty hunter, and she understands that's some jobs can be accomplished only by her, like anything to do with the X since she's the only being that can't be infected.
Metroid may be in the category as one of those impossible movies to make due to it's heavy reliance on internal dialogue to push Samus's character development forward. Internal Dialogue works well in books or voiceless scenarios, but rarely in live action entertainment. The Prime series worked because Retro focused entirely on Samus's action, environmental tension and ambience to tell a interactive story while abandoning internal dialogue sequences. The closest comparison to what a faithful Metroid theatrical adaptation would be Dune. The 2021 Dune remake likely will abandon many of the traits of the book (particularly internal dialogue and it's slow pacing) in order to appeal to a wider audience.
Madness was the most fun thing this channel ever did. It needs to come back in a new and improved format, where everyone involved has actually played all the games on the list.

They said on Twitter they're gonna start releasing videos when they're done and ready instead of trying to have a schedule, so expect gaps between content
Not every movie needs a ton of backstory or world building. Complicated does not equal Deep. Just look at the Riddick films. Pitch Black told you very little about the characters and world and yet it was the best out of the series. Every attempt to add lore just made the story worse. Stop over complicating things and just make a movie.
Only video game movies, Like assassin's creed or the metroid movie need world building, because it is a new thing for new audiences... People would want to know about how the brotherhood works, or how Samus Chozo armor works and how she got it... Especially when assassin's creed deleted scenes did have Shao Jun in it... But the Riddick films are awesome and I agree with that...
@@ErdrickDW Yes... i forgot even awesome movies like John Wick also have lore.... Like how the continent works and it's rule... You know those golden coins that John had in his box in the basement the first two movies... Those coins are 500$ each....
@@ErdrickDW Yeah... the important ones we want to know is, What was the job that John had to do to leave his group and retire... And what are the high table (John Wick 3: Parabellum)

That bearded guy's idea is right on the money. THAT is how you make a good Metroid movie; minimalist, isolated, dark, atmospheric, and tense. I'm excited that he's the one working on the Metal Gear movie, as long as there's little to no studio interference bullshit and he can make the movie he actually envisions.
Yashiro Sakamoto doesn't know he's talking about, obviously. He expressed before he would change nothing about other m if he could go back and do it over again, despite the the overwhelming dislike for it. I will say watching the other m "movie" in Japanese seems to feel a bit better with Samus' acting, and the monologues seemed more natural.
Than build a movie that emulates the attitude of the game. Focus on the exploration of the planet. Start with Samus landing, then go chronologically through that, like John Wick 1 and Drive, only more creepy. Focus on exploring the planet alone, then pepper it with flashbacks to reveal Samus' character as she faces more adversity as she inches deeper into the planet. Focus on a simple planet-wide premise, then use that as a springboard to expend Samus as a character. It's exactly what Adi Shankar said. The smaller scale, the better. Isolationist, survivalist, and alien.
Honesty the backstory excuse sounds like that, an excuse. We've had plenty of movies where we don't have a novel worth of backstory to the character. Rambo was a homeless vet wandering around and only halfway to we find out oh He's half Native American from Arizona, was special forces, and a medal of honor winner. The only real past we get is his breakdown in the police station and Him retelling the shoe shine box story. Die Hard We know Mcclane is an NYPD officer who hates flying and his marriage is on the rocks hence why he made the trip to LA. Ellen Ripley was some senior Tech and deck officer working for Weyland-Yetani. We don't find out she has/had a daughter until the sequel. Samus is an orphaned human, altered by the Chicken people after Her colony was destroyed by Pirates, and she is now basically a Supersoldier even outside the suit. Nintendo established all that well before 2005 when Woo got the rights. She's a bounty hunter because pirates killed her family and the Federation ties itself up in red tape and regulations. She's basically in a revenge arc and has to learn to be better, not just to stop the Metroids but to not become a monster like Ripley. Both figuratively and literally given third act, to stop Samus from destroying Motherbrain who's been mindfucking him nearly the whole movie, He drinks the Chozo-Metroid juice and becomes a literal monster as he mutates.
06:33 - "Specifically talking about the storytelling of Other M and the visual quality of the computer graphics, I think we have used quite luxurious resources to create these movie sequences and I think these scenes are worthy of the 'movie' label." Cool, Sakamoto. Glad you didn't slap "good" on that label, though.
The problem with Other M story is that it's at the end of the timeline, but they treat the character as if she were the inexperienced newbie from the beginning of her story, probably to introduce the character to a new audience Samus at this point had killed Ridley countless times, defeated Dark Samus and wiped out the Metroids, she would be a colder veteran lone wolf soldier hardened by so many battles and losses, basically a female Solid Snake It doesn't help that Other M as a game is also flawed, with the story taking the lead and restricting the gameplay, making it extremely linear and removing most of what makes a good Metroidvania.
@@l3rvn0 She's not portrayed as a newbie, she's portrayed as both someone who's dealing with PTSD and someone who has caused the Galactic Federation a lot of trouble. She hasn't really dealt with them as a whole until Other M. It makes sense why Samus would suffer from PTSD, espcially towards Ridley. Snake didn't have his parent's skull's crushed to bits right in front of him when he was 3 while the murderer cackled wildly. And of course it would be towards Ridley in that game, she thought she had finally killed him for good after Super Metroid (the previous game timeline-wise), only for him to come back. How would you feel in that situation. Not only that, but Samus has constantly shown she isn't immune to emotional trauma, as shown by how she felt and reacted towards having to fight and kill her fellow bounty hunters in Corruption. I'm not gonna argue that Other M is a perfect game, far from it, but a lot of people seem to think it's a good, if not pretty good Metroid game.

@@primrosevale1995 "She's not portrayed as a newbie, she's portrayed as both someone who's dealing with PTSD and someone who has caused the Galactic Federation a lot of trouble." Not really. There is no actual dealing with her PTSD in the game, just a few lines in some cutscenes. I would have loved to see a game where it actually plays an important part, where it is an obstacle to overcome and where we get an arc with a resolution. "Snake didn't have his parent's skull's crushed to bits right in front of him when he was 3 while the murderer cackled wildly." It is not outright stated (that I know of) that Solid Snake had PTSD, but it is implied he suffered it after Outer Heaven. Naked Snake suffered from PTSD after operation Snake Eater. "Samus has constantly shown she isn't immune to emotional trauma" I agree. But that isn't what we're being shown in Other M. In that game she is reduced from a complex character to a simple trope. Instead of her trauma being something the story builds on, it becomes formulaic and shallow. "but a lot of people seem to think it's a good, if not pretty good Metroid game." It's a decent enough game, but it's a crappy Metroid game.
This group of people was my childhood, and it is very depressing to see the sad state of affairs that this channel is in. Did they make a statement about Jirard? I don't know, and at this point I probably shouldn't care.
I really think a movie, or a short series even, could be made now. Just picture this: Samus receives a distress signal from a federation colony under attack by space pirates and Ridley, 2 survivors remain being chased by the pirate army, they catch up to them and in the nick of time Samus arrives on the scene, decimating the entire pirate force pursuing the civilian scientist and his daughter, saving them. But behind her a massive explosion rocks the colony and Ridley climbs the research facility standing atop it as if he's king of the Hellscape he created then narrows his eyes on samus and the civilians jumps down and starts fighting her, then he goes after the child and Samus tries to protect her but is ultimately pierced by his tail, losing most of her abilities due to the suits energy depleting from the hit. The scientist, injured from the pirate attack fires a pistol shot into Ridleys eyes just long enough so all 3 can escape to samus' ship and get first aid. Once at the ship the scientist explains to samus that the colony was researching ancient chozo artifacts on the planet they reside on but could not locate with their technology and what little understanding of the chozo they have. Samus obviously cannot let the pirate assault go unpunished and sets out on the journey to discover the artifacts and perhaps other secrets the federation did not want the public knowing. Ik this was long and super fan-fictiony but i really think Metroid has potential as a series and would love to see it get more attention. If anyone read that entire thing...you have lots of patience lol
When thinking of a Metroid movie, I basically had the same vibes as Jordan-Vogi, the almost silent movie. It makes sense because Samus is the only human and it would be a sort of sci fi horror but with action. I always thought of thevspace pirates and zebes as having a dark tribal feel. Samus deep in a jungle going up against spiritual monsters. Ridley and Craid had their own temples and Mother Brain was a freaky A.I. which can totally go hand-in-hand with sci fi horror. Samus is the tribal warrior, of course.
Normal Boots, if you can see this, where are the videos? The channel has disappeared without a trace like it's gone up in a puff of smoke. I'm a big fan of all of you guys, and I know that you must be busy. But come on! We've been waiting for 8 months to find out how MC HC ends!
If I had the chance to write a Metroid movie, I'd set it before the events of Metroid/Metroid Zero Mission. It would detail Samus's final mission with the Galactic Federation Army. It would cover why she chose to leave in favor of going freelance, how she got her power suit, and her first encounter with a metroid creature. This one in particular would have rapid aging, meaning when we first see it; it's in its larva stage. But by the film's climax, it's become an Omega Metroid. The film would start with her being apart of the GFA team to establish the premise and plot, but eventually through a series of major events; the whole team would be separated. And most of the film would be Samus on her own.
A metroid movie would be so easy to screw up. For what its worth I think Vogt-Roberts gets it, best make a solo survival story, mostly without dialogue in the vein of the last Riddick movie. Not sure if it'd make big numbers at the box office, probably not, but it would be much truer to the game than trying to explain Samus' backstory.
Did the Metroid comics not exist back then? Or were the comics not enough of a backstory for Woo? I dunno how much story there was. I just remember that Ridley killed Samus' parents, and the Chozo adopted and trained her. Also, Ridley lead the Space Pirates. I forget how Mother Brain was involved. Was she higher up than Ridley? Was she a creation of Ridley to control the Metroids? I legitimately don't know those details.
I believe mother brain is a chozo made supercomputer that went rogue and sided with the space pirates? of course I dont know all the details but I think thats the gist of it.
Bro, dread has given us the finale. It incorporated samus’ Character perfectly in my opinion, and it gave a solid direction for a cinematic series following the events of each game
Would honestly hate it if a Metroid movie tried to be an origin story or retell any of the events from the games. If a Metroid movie were to exist, it should have it's own story set between or after the games. Origin is irrelevant, I just want to see Samus in a survival situation or as an actual bounty hunter.
It seems to be at the peek of its popularity again now after Dread was announced. Since Dread as outsold the lifetime sales of Megaman 11 and Street of Rage 4 in just the first three months it was out.
I really hope this channel hasn't just become a secondary "Did You Know" channel. There's nothing wrong with those videos, but Normal Boots should be more than that.
I would love another Hardcore series. Maybe another game, like Valheim. Or maybe an old one like Terraria. Or maybe even Diablo 4? Any plans for it or is everybody to busy?
Damn imagine it being a slow silent horror and just completing the circle of being inspired by Alien and then eventually becoming a movie in the same sorta vein.
It's a shame the movie couldn't be made. There are so many directors and actors that want to participate in one or a series, and there is material to do so, just look at the Metroid prequel manga, now that is how you tell Samus' story But it seems many people (even in the comments) have a bad taste from Other M and suddenly think now is impossible to do something more story-driven with Samus. That was just bad direction, is not like Metroid or Samus can't suddenly work in other medium because of one misstep, because it worked before
In honor of Yoshio Sakamoto I'll go watch Other M. And not worry about a movie. I can see how putting an actual person to the movie might be toxic to the awesome story itself. Thanks for posting this.

Guessing it didn’t work with trying to have all the other creators on
lol, they always do this. they’ve done it probably 4 different times by now.
Don't worry. They'll come back for the hundredth time, make 5 videos and then disappear for a year
unnormal boots 💀
Man it's just sad looking back at this group now... A group that I grew up watching, one that went through so much. It's been rebooted more times than spiderman at this point but it never seems to last, and now with the Jirard news coming out... It's just depressing.
Gotta be honest, kinda upset that they keep coming back promising more content, then just dropping off the face of the earth.
Agree
So... Adam didn't give them authorisation?
There were objections from the ladies
I legit don’t understand why it’s so hard to keep this channel together
Im guessing a lot of behind the scenes issues along with other commitments
Ik a couple of long breaks are fine but they just need to say that they are on break and they barely upload when they come back.
These types of groups are no longer necessary. It's much easier for creators to do stuff on their own now. Back when NormalBoots and Hidden Block were around it was much harder to gain sponsors and make money from RUclips, which is why people were in these types of groups.
@@eggsamillion I just miss Madness
If they're just gonna say "Hey guys, we're back" upload a couple videos and disappear again, I think it's better if they just stop uploading altogether. No hate for the channel, but it looks like things aren't going so well.
I swear, this channel has died and came back more then any other channel ever

Why isn't this series on The Film Theorists anymore?

So we didn't get a Gun-Fu Metroid movie, but instead we're getting an Illumination Mario movie starring Chris Pratt..."Equivalent exchange" lied to me
Fool, THIS IS equivalent exchange
ironic how Nintendo is protective of studios making movies of their games and now they gave mario to illumination
Okay can can someone explain to me why some people have an issue with illumination entertainment getting the rights to make a Mario movie
@@animezilla4486 It's because their movies have been mostly average to mediocre besides the first Despicable Me movie
@@retrohero2762 that's fair some of Illumination films are okay in my opinion but not the best as for this Mario movie I have to see a trailer before I give my Ultimate opinion on the movie but who knows it is Mario movie becomes a huge success not only be good for illumination entertainment but Nintendo may start licensing properties like Star Fox or metroid into becoming series / movies
The Mario movie starring Chris Pratt as Mario, Legend of Zelda movie starring Tom Hiddleston as Link, and the Metroid movie starring Scarlett Johansson as Samus 🤣

a year ago damn
Hard to believe it’s been well over a year since this short lived return, I’m really bummed it didn’t work. I hope everyone involved is still doing well and if this channel ever ends up uploading again I’ll definitely be there for it. Keep up the good work everyone whether it’s together or separate!
This channel being revived to only die again has happened so many times that it’s just a gag now
Welp it’s probably dead again. Cya in like a year or 2 when NormalBoots gets revived again for like 6 months before disappearing and having the cycle repeat!
I think if anything, a web series with a creepy alien-esque atmosphere based on Metroid would be amazing. I'm not sure how that would work though. Maybe have it be a character study on Samus and intersperse scenes of her exploring with flashbacks of her past.
Shortest lived Normal Boots reboot?
Honestly, I'd rather Normal Boots just stay gone at this point. It beats having them come back to get everyone's hope up just to disappear again.
Very well said.
By the time normal boots gets together again i'll be graduated fully from college. I was literally around 12? when I found them originally and now that i'm in my twenties.... good lord..
NormalBoots rises from the ashes like a phoenix on life support

This is like the 3rd or 4th time, they should just fully come back or fully leave instead of teasing us every few years
@@HarryMario_ agreed
@@evanhale6893 just so you know NB said they want to wait until about of workbos done so they can upload it all at once but that was way back in November so idk what there is to now I still think there gone
@@HarryMario_ its been just a little over a year since this video was uploaded. Must have one heck of a back log
The majority of the comments point out how difficult it is to make a main character who is mostly silent. There is one franchise that manages to do a lot with a little and that Mad Max. He's literally a side character in most of his movies. That might be one way to keep the "undevelopedness" of the character's backstory from showing thin. Same thing happened with the Man With No Name movies. Of course it's entirely possible I don't know what I'm talking about.
I immediately thought of Mad Max too, but the difference is that Max has a host of other characters to carry the plot forward for him. When a large part of your movie is likely to be Samus by herself, writing a compelling "undeveloped" character is much trickier.
I think borrowing from Aliens/Prime 2/Other M (or even Rambo (i.e. Rambo 4) now I think of it) where she's the expert/muscle among a platoon would do a lot to relieve some of that burden. Then for at least the last third of the movie, after she's been established, she's on her own (again, like Aliens, but drawn out to deliver true-to-game isolation). The tricky part, when comparing to Aliens and Rambo, is that they both had at least an entire movie to establish the protagonists as experts. We understand Ripley's fear of the xenomorph and her frustrations with the marines' underestimation because we've seen Alien. Without that she'd just come across as a paranoid worry-wart. So you'd have to devote 15-20 minutes upfront to establish Samus as an expert and the Metroids as a real threat, plus that half an hour at the end to deliver isolation, and you're not left with a ton of time in the middle to establish a compelling story. If it was pushed out to 2+hours in length it could be done though.
@@NoeLPZC, excellent! Now that's what I'm talking about! Rambo is a good template, where most of the time you watch the bad guys and establish just how good the Hero actually is at what they do. I'd even venture to guess that the movie shouldn't start on Zebes, but during a bounty mission.
And some character growth for Samus would be underestimating the Metroids. When the Greatest has a twinkle of fear in her eye you can make the goal of the movie to overcome that fear.
I've seen a few arthouse-ish movies that are only mostly about one character, don't have much dialogue, and are done well. The only one that comes to me right now is eraserhead. The thing is, I assume nintendo would want to market this movie to as many people as possible, of all ages, and those types of movies definitely aren't for everyone. Also those movies tend to run on their atmosphere and the implications of what they do and the world they're in, and I tend to think that those movies are harder to make well rather than an average blockbuster.
"Nintendo wanted to tell samus's story all on their own" what a terrific job they did there huh?
The story isn't a bad one. The execution is what wasn't the best.
@@TheMissingLink2 The story is bad, everything from fusion onwards was just about shackling the independent powerhouse character into being a silent obedient troop under Adam and his AI form. The prime series does better atleast.
@@tellurianapostle Clown post. In no way is Samus "shackled," under Adam in Fusion and Dread. At most, she takes the A.I's advice and intel seriously because it's built off of someone she trusted. Hell, the Adam A.I isn't even in Zero Mission or Samus Returns so I have no idea what you're talking about here.
@@tellurianapostle You've got a point in the shackling thing.
Fusion starts with Samus being the weakest she's been in her entire career. Notice how Fusion is the only game where she places her left hand under her arm cannon while all the other have her left hand on top. On top is to control recoil; under is to help lift it. Gameplay also has you take massive damage from enemies, which is why you get like 20 energy tanks in that one. Also, it used to be a big point that Samus could ledge hang due to her suit being so light in Fusion, but SR and Dread kinda retconned that cuz seriously, the SR suit was huge.
Samus knows that she's been stripped of her former power, and the Federation is what saved her. The Federation had to save her with the vaccine, the Federation had to replace her ship, and now she's part dangerous parasite. The Galactic Federation Civilization absolutely fears Metroids, so she couldn't go to the people for bounty work.
With all these factors, she knew that the Federation were the only ones she could turn to, so she kind of begrudgingly submitted to do their work. In Fusion she even had to rely on the Federation to send weapons data for her.
The events of Fusion made her powerful again, and she learned about the Federation Illuminati trying to clone Metroids, so that's when she grasped her independence again. One thing I would have changed is when Samus is locked in the comms room, they should have made a way for you to escape without needing to convince the Adam ai. This would have showed Samus has truly become independent again, ignoring Federation orders so she can do what she thinks is right. Once you get to the station control room, that's where Samus could have shown the Adam ai that she was doing the right thing.
Come Dread, she's independent again, and she kept Adam along for companionship; I think Samus wants friends, but everything and everyone she knows keeps dying around her, and she probably blames herself for some of them. So the best companionship she can have is a computer cuz it can't really die lol.
But at this point, she's not taking orders from anyone but herself. She's back to being a bounty hunter, and she understands that's some jobs can be accomplished only by her, like anything to do with the X since she's the only being that can't be infected.
Other M would have been better as a movie than it was as a game.
can this channel not die for 5 MINUETS
I really hope a Metroid movie can actually happen in the future
Fingers crossed Dread is a huge success, if so anything is possible. 😎👍
That depends on how well the new Mario Movie succeeds.
I was about to state what TAnimation said. Good look
Metroid may be in the category as one of those impossible movies to make due to it's heavy reliance on internal dialogue to push Samus's character development forward. Internal Dialogue works well in books or voiceless scenarios, but rarely in live action entertainment. The Prime series worked because Retro focused entirely on Samus's action, environmental tension and ambience to tell a interactive story while abandoning internal dialogue sequences. The closest comparison to what a faithful Metroid theatrical adaptation would be Dune. The 2021 Dune remake likely will abandon many of the traits of the book (particularly internal dialogue and it's slow pacing) in order to appeal to a wider audience.
they did, its called Other M
I forgot this channel existed I remember always watching the madness videos
Madness was the most fun thing this channel ever did. It needs to come back in a new and improved format, where everyone involved has actually played all the games on the list.

Must be one hell of a editing process.....
Not every movie needs a ton of backstory or world building. Complicated does not equal Deep. Just look at the Riddick films. Pitch Black told you very little about the characters and world and yet it was the best out of the series. Every attempt to add lore just made the story worse. Stop over complicating things and just make a movie.
Only video game movies,
Like assassin's creed or the metroid movie need world building, because it is a new thing for new audiences...
People would want to know about how the brotherhood works, or how Samus Chozo armor works and how she got it...
Especially when assassin's creed deleted scenes did have Shao Jun in it...
But the Riddick films are awesome and I agree with that...

Well that was quick for this channel
When is Normal Boots coming back with the milk
Normalboots is the channel from of William Afton coming back but not wanted him back, but you instead want them to come back
“We’re back!” (1 year later). Boop…boop….booooooooooop
Well, Jirard probably has something to do with his time now that G4 is dead again .
Yashiro Sakamoto doesn't know he's talking about, obviously. He expressed before he would change nothing about other m if he could go back and do it over again, despite the the overwhelming dislike for it.
I will say watching the other m "movie" in Japanese seems to feel a bit better with Samus' acting, and the monologues seemed more natural.
The translation isn't even accurate. Check out Lexicon Lookout's video on it.
RIP Normal Boots.
The idea of a Metroid movie would be cool, but the movie itself probably would be garbage
So yeah looking forward to the next video!
Than build a movie that emulates the attitude of the game. Focus on the exploration of the planet. Start with Samus landing, then go chronologically through that, like John Wick 1 and Drive, only more creepy. Focus on exploring the planet alone, then pepper it with flashbacks to reveal Samus' character as she faces more adversity as she inches deeper into the planet. Focus on a simple planet-wide premise, then use that as a springboard to expend Samus as a character. It's exactly what Adi Shankar said. The smaller scale, the better. Isolationist, survivalist, and alien.
I really miss this channel
Me too
This channel really dies when it's not doing a hardcore, I would like to see another one of those.
Honesty the backstory excuse sounds like that, an excuse. We've had plenty of movies where we don't have a novel worth of backstory to the character. Rambo was a homeless vet wandering around and only halfway to we find out oh He's half Native American from Arizona, was special forces, and a medal of honor winner. The only real past we get is his breakdown in the police station and Him retelling the shoe shine box story. Die Hard We know Mcclane is an NYPD officer who hates flying and his marriage is on the rocks hence why he made the trip to LA. Ellen Ripley was some senior Tech and deck officer working for Weyland-Yetani. We don't find out she has/had a daughter until the sequel.
Samus is an orphaned human, altered by the Chicken people after Her colony was destroyed by Pirates, and she is now basically a Supersoldier even outside the suit. Nintendo established all that well before 2005 when Woo got the rights. She's a bounty hunter because pirates killed her family and the Federation ties itself up in red tape and regulations. She's basically in a revenge arc and has to learn to be better, not just to stop the Metroids but to not become a monster like Ripley. Both figuratively and literally given third act, to stop Samus from destroying Motherbrain who's been mindfucking him nearly the whole movie, He drinks the Chozo-Metroid juice and becomes a literal monster as he mutates.
06:33 - "Specifically talking about the storytelling of Other M and the visual quality of the computer graphics, I think we have used quite luxurious resources to create these movie sequences and I think these scenes are worthy of the 'movie' label."
Cool, Sakamoto. Glad you didn't slap "good" on that label, though.
Other M is good though.
The problem with Other M story is that it's at the end of the timeline, but they treat the character as if she were the inexperienced newbie from the beginning of her story, probably to introduce the character to a new audience
Samus at this point had killed Ridley countless times, defeated Dark Samus and wiped out the Metroids, she would be a colder veteran lone wolf soldier hardened by so many battles and losses, basically a female Solid Snake
It doesn't help that Other M as a game is also flawed, with the story taking the lead and restricting the gameplay, making it extremely linear and removing most of what makes a good Metroidvania.
@@primrosevale1995 nah
@@l3rvn0 She's not portrayed as a newbie, she's portrayed as both someone who's dealing with PTSD and someone who has caused the Galactic Federation a lot of trouble. She hasn't really dealt with them as a whole until Other M.
It makes sense why Samus would suffer from PTSD, espcially towards Ridley. Snake didn't have his parent's skull's crushed to bits right in front of him when he was 3 while the murderer cackled wildly.
And of course it would be towards Ridley in that game, she thought she had finally killed him for good after Super Metroid (the previous game timeline-wise), only for him to come back. How would you feel in that situation. Not only that, but Samus has constantly shown she isn't immune to emotional trauma, as shown by how she felt and reacted towards having to fight and kill her fellow bounty hunters in Corruption.
I'm not gonna argue that Other M is a perfect game, far from it, but a lot of people seem to think it's a good, if not pretty good Metroid game.
@@primrosevale1995 "She's not portrayed as a newbie, she's portrayed as both someone who's dealing with PTSD and someone who has caused the Galactic Federation a lot of trouble."
Not really. There is no actual dealing with her PTSD in the game, just a few lines in some cutscenes. I would have loved to see a game where it actually plays an important part, where it is an obstacle to overcome and where we get an arc with a resolution.
"Snake didn't have his parent's skull's crushed to bits right in front of him when he was 3 while the murderer cackled wildly."
It is not outright stated (that I know of) that Solid Snake had PTSD, but it is implied he suffered it after Outer Heaven. Naked Snake suffered from PTSD after operation Snake Eater.
"Samus has constantly shown she isn't immune to emotional trauma"
I agree. But that isn't what we're being shown in Other M. In that game she is reduced from a complex character to a simple trope. Instead of her trauma being something the story builds on, it becomes formulaic and shallow.
"but a lot of people seem to think it's a good, if not pretty good Metroid game."
It's a decent enough game, but it's a crappy Metroid game.
This group of people was my childhood, and it is very depressing to see the sad state of affairs that this channel is in. Did they make a statement about Jirard? I don't know, and at this point I probably shouldn't care.
I've always wanted a movie of the series so badly!
I'm wanting one now! Especially since Dread made me a fan.
I'm honestly surprised Nintendo didn't ask Alex Proyas after that iconic Metroid Prime commercial
I really think a movie, or a short series even, could be made now. Just picture this: Samus receives a distress signal from a federation colony under attack by space pirates and Ridley, 2 survivors remain being chased by the pirate army, they catch up to them and in the nick of time Samus arrives on the scene, decimating the entire pirate force pursuing the civilian scientist and his daughter, saving them. But behind her a massive explosion rocks the colony and Ridley climbs the research facility standing atop it as if he's king of the Hellscape he created then narrows his eyes on samus and the civilians jumps down and starts fighting her, then he goes after the child and Samus tries to protect her but is ultimately pierced by his tail, losing most of her abilities due to the suits energy depleting from the hit. The scientist, injured from the pirate attack fires a pistol shot into Ridleys eyes just long enough so all 3 can escape to samus' ship and get first aid. Once at the ship the scientist explains to samus that the colony was researching ancient chozo artifacts on the planet they reside on but could not locate with their technology and what little understanding of the chozo they have. Samus obviously cannot let the pirate assault go unpunished and sets out on the journey to discover the artifacts and perhaps other secrets the federation did not want the public knowing.
Ik this was long and super fan-fictiony but i really think Metroid has potential as a series and would love to see it get more attention. If anyone read that entire thing...you have lots of patience lol
When thinking of a Metroid movie, I basically had the same vibes as Jordan-Vogi, the almost silent movie. It makes sense because Samus is the only human and it would be a sort of sci fi horror but with action.
I always thought of thevspace pirates and zebes as having a dark tribal feel. Samus deep in a jungle going up against spiritual monsters. Ridley and Craid had their own temples and Mother Brain was a freaky A.I. which can totally go hand-in-hand with sci fi horror.
Samus is the tribal warrior, of course.
Normal Boots, if you can see this, where are the videos? The channel has disappeared without a trace like it's gone up in a puff of smoke. I'm a big fan of all of you guys, and I know that you must be busy. But come on! We've been waiting for 8 months to find out how MC HC ends!
Minecraft hardcore ended before the channel disappeared
*pokes channel with stick* come on, do something.
If I had the chance to write a Metroid movie, I'd set it before the events of Metroid/Metroid Zero Mission. It would detail Samus's final mission with the Galactic Federation Army.
It would cover why she chose to leave in favor of going freelance, how she got her power suit, and her first encounter with a metroid creature. This one in particular would have rapid aging, meaning when we first see it; it's in its larva stage. But by the film's climax, it's become an Omega Metroid. The film would start with her being apart of the GFA team to establish the premise and plot, but eventually through a series of major events; the whole team would be separated. And most of the film would be Samus on her own.
I didn't see who was narrating but man do I recognize that voice fast.
Jordan Vogt-Robert's idea as a quiet mood piece like Drive is INSANE. I WANT THAT SO BAD AAAAAAHHHH
This channel isn’t coming back is it
So, it's been 7 months, how's everybody doing?
I have hope we'll see a Metroid movie one day
A metroid movie would be so easy to screw up. For what its worth I think Vogt-Roberts gets it, best make a solo survival story, mostly without dialogue in the vein of the last Riddick movie. Not sure if it'd make big numbers at the box office, probably not, but it would be much truer to the game than trying to explain Samus' backstory.
Hope we can get a new Normal Boots upload soon. Miss y'all 💖
.....😏
Did the Metroid comics not exist back then? Or were the comics not enough of a backstory for Woo? I dunno how much story there was. I just remember that Ridley killed Samus' parents, and the Chozo adopted and trained her. Also, Ridley lead the Space Pirates. I forget how Mother Brain was involved. Was she higher up than Ridley? Was she a creation of Ridley to control the Metroids? I legitimately don't know those details.
I believe mother brain is a chozo made supercomputer that went rogue and sided with the space pirates? of course I dont know all the details but I think thats the gist of it.
Bro, dread has given us the finale. It incorporated samus’ Character perfectly in my opinion, and it gave a solid direction for a cinematic series following the events of each game
As if this group wasn't dead enough, now one of it's members (Jirard/The Completionist) is a proven scammer and is lying about his charity.

@@rechromatics fr lol
I have been praying for a Metroid movie for YEARS and I had absolutely no idea that they had tried it before oh my god I'm so devastated
Uh, I Thought They, "Came Back?"
Only way I see this working is an origin story>her colony getting taken out, federation training, then going rogue doing bounty hunting
Would honestly hate it if a Metroid movie tried to be an origin story or retell any of the events from the games. If a Metroid movie were to exist, it should have it's own story set between or after the games. Origin is irrelevant, I just want to see Samus in a survival situation or as an actual bounty hunter.
Would definitely LOVE to see a Metroid movie.
Live action? No thanks.
@@ederyahirleonflores9826 No. Live action adaptations of video games have a worse history than that of other forms of media.

Nah
Hurts just a little bit
It seems to be at the peek of its popularity again now after Dread was announced. Since Dread as outsold the lifetime sales of Megaman 11 and Street of Rage 4 in just the first three months it was out.
They picked the best song out of all of the Metroid Prime games for the background music. Metroid Prime 2 Echoes menu select. So good ❤💪
I really hope this channel hasn't just become a secondary "Did You Know" channel. There's nothing wrong with those videos, but Normal Boots should be more than that.
What if Metroid was for tv?

imagine letting some false drama and accusations destroy an entire channel from uploading content

Canceled Metroid movie? More like canceled Normal Boots channel.

Im looking forward to dread, and to see how the Metroid story ark ends and how it will continue without them.

It's a shame the movie couldn't be made. There are so many directors and actors that want to participate in one or a series, and there is material to do so, just look at the Metroid prequel manga, now that is how you tell Samus' story
But it seems many people (even in the comments) have a bad taste from Other M and suddenly think now is impossible to do something more story-driven with Samus.
That was just bad direction, is not like Metroid or Samus can't suddenly work in other medium because of one misstep, because it worked before
maybe if you rebrand to QuirkyBoots bad things wont happen next time around
Anna Torv from Fringe would have been a great Samus.
I can imagine this working so damn well!
In honor of Yoshio Sakamoto I'll go watch Other M. And not worry about a movie. I can see how putting an actual person to the movie might be toxic to the awesome story itself. Thanks for posting this.
