So is phazon just fucking magic, then?

So is phazon just fucking magic, then?

Yes, sci-fi flavored magic.

No, it mutated the rock's DNA

>rock
>DNA

Please.

Dude don't question it

What kind of retard questions science fiction

What did the scan entry on this thing say? Is it literally animated rocks, or is it more involved than that?

Phazon does whatever the plot wants it to
The only rules to it are that it fucks with things and comes from Phaaze.

IIRC it says that it isn't a naturally "living" thing. But it's been over 10 years, so my memory is a bit hazy.

Almost four hours in paint

Supposedly the pirates experimented with using Phazon to animate inanimate objects, which they called Project Titan.
He's held together by the charge of the phazon raditiation, since his body is mostly composted of phazon ore.

The entire Prime series turns Metroid into more of a fantasy. Metroid 1-4 are sci fi and sci fantasy and the mixture works. I felt the Prime series took things a little too far when it came to the fantasy elements, just look at Federation Force. Other M's ninja and laser bullshit didn't help.

Nothing in Other M helped anyone. I'm playing Prime for the first time ever right now, and I'm loving it. Are 2 and 3 worth figuring out the controls on Dolphin?

whats the head supposed to be?

It's a zebesian I think

you wasted your time

Man a rock boss in an ice area is so out of place, I wish they'd used the four armed baboon boss they scrapped.

Its not hard sci-fi, but Space Dragon and rocks, what's fantasy about a space parasite killing planets? Feels more space horror to me.

Also just beat Federation Force, didnt catch much if any fantasy elements there either.

Dude, giant Samus. You telling me that's not straight up fantasy?

bit too much into the Chozo lore, probably.

Yes, the trilogy is totally worth playing.

Wumbo lasers are saturday morning sci-fi, silly but not fantasy.
Giantess Samus is my fantasy though

It's definitely someone's fantasy.

>Wumbo lasers are saturday morning sci-fi, silly but not fantasy.
True and sort of stupid. With Other M I had a lot of issues with that game but one of the biggest issues I had with it was that it had so many inconsistencies. When Insaw the Nintendo enemies I was fine but when the never before enemies came in, the ones that look like they came from Ninja Gaiden, that shit looked weird. To make matters worse we had over the top enemies that can shoot lasers from every part of their bodies and Samus pulling all of these ninja stunts. I just didn't like any of it.

I thought it was common knowledge that phazon is magic space cancer plot device and it's better off not questioning how it works.

For gods sake there's an entire planet made of the stuff that shoots out leviathans to spread it around, and an animated pile of rocks is crazy to you?

Other M was a complete and utter shitpile and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who'll say otherwise because most people either forgot it or pretend it doesn't exist

Totally agree on the enemies.
Although I always thought of Samus as being more mobile and actiony, like a scary athletic tank, Team Ninja did take it a bit too far.
Speaking of which, that unexplained moment of weakness in the game aside, Samus in Federation Force is considerably OP compared to the force. Those fucking Bruisers take some careful aiming and all she has to do is deliver a charge shot. Cheap ass Chozo magic.

Yeah it really makes me wonder how she got captured if she could kill Bruisers with just one Super Missile.

Swarms have been proven to be pretty stifling to Samus, like the Ing in beginning Metroid Prime 2. Not unreasonable to see a mass of pirates taking her down in a lucky ambush. She was held in the ancient Bion techmagic so they didnt have to do much work.
