Which is more powerful, Phazon or Aeion?

Which is more powerful, Phazon or Aeion?

Do we even know what the fuck Aeion is?

Erm...
That's a good question.

Nope.
At the very least, we know it's some kind of energy source that the Chozo used on SR-388, and that Samus can use it to supercharge her suit. It also seems WAY more stable than Phazon, which actively corrupts whatever it comes into contact with.

X shit

>yfw this is what it actually is.

I can't wait to see these mother fuckers again as Metroid's endgame.

I wish they were less vague about it (Some fucking text would be nice). I'm guessing it's the vaguely alluded to life energy that Metroids can harness and losing it turns you into space cancer (ie the X)

phazon has shown to be far more destructive than Aeion, Aeion is also only contained on SR388 while phazon can be anywhere

Ridley had Aeion in him and he wasn't even from SR388.

X feces

he was on SR388 though and accumulated it

Chozo Phazon

Aeion is proto X parasites, outside of that we probably won't know because 2D doesn't do lore like prime does. Just think of it as SR388 lifeforce and X-parasites as corrupted lifeforce

True but seeing how it added to the new gameplay elements, I can see Aeion returning in some way in the future.

It's yellow.

It's life energy. The Chozo were fucking things up taking life energy from the animals of SR388 and it manifested itself as the X parasites and started attacking them. That's why Metroids are the X's predators because they eat life energy.

You think that corrupted chozzo are still out there?

X parasites is the aeion returning, there can't be anything else because SR388 is gonzo

John Madden.

Aeion was a gameplay element, no way their stepping away from that in the next game.

being a gameplay element doesn't make it safe, hyper mode won't appear in prime 4 and grappling beam wasn't in fusion. Shinespark also isn't in SR

True, we'll have to wait and see, 360 degrees aiming and melee are definitely returning though. I bet you'll be able to use the 360 degrees aiming while running because of the right stick of the Switch in Metroid 5.

what boggled my mind about SR's controls was the lack of diagonal aiming, ZR/ZL do nothing and the n3DS and could easily have been used for it

Even sakamoto admits a small space station blowing up a planet is stupid.

I was under the impression it was really big, I mean it was on a comet no?

That reminds me of how 343 just got rid of Requiem in Halo 4 and realized it was a stupid idea. What could have been. Can the Metroid and Halo writers please get their shit together?

I hope it returns in Metroid 5 for the Switch.

still not enough to demolish a planet, they simply decided it just werked upon deciding fusion would be the last metroid game under the belief that prime wouldn't have sold as well as it did.

how many metroid games were meant to be the last? I know super was one of them

Did it really destroy the planet? I always thought that it just killed everything on the surface.

Super probably, though zebes was never so plot specific it would promptly end the series. Ending SR-388 which is symbolic of ending the entire metroid species was far more of a finisher.

.

I wouldn't be surprised if they retconned part of Fusion to where a part of SR3888 survived the explosion as a way to bring back the X, eventually.

There's also the issue of Aeion abilities taking up the D-pad while weapons were on virtual buttons. If the next Nintendo handheld (which I suppose is the Switch) doesn't have a touchscreen, the next 2D Metroid game needs a different control scheme.
I can see such a game mechanic being reworked considerably to the point of having a different name in-setting, and if there's no good way to implement it without needing to open a menu every time you use one of these abilities, it might not be worth doing.

*SR388

big white supernova if I remember.

>not being a traditional Metroid-series scientist and dousing Aeion in Phazon and then injecting it in things to see what happens

woah guys, maybe they'll tie it into phazon too.

phazon would probably just override aeion

I question that myself, in Super Zebes, blew into pieces with pieces of it floating in space, with SR388 there just a white flash and then you see Samus's ship and a white light behind it, so I really don't believe the entire planet of SR388 was destroyed just a part of it.

I wonder what aeion tastes like.

wouldn't make sense, Aeion is on SR388 and phazon is from Phaaze

Yes and?

Phazon, come back when Aeion can create a creature as powerful as Metroid Prime

>create
If you're not a chad Prime came First theoriest get out of my thread.

>all those Prime Husks
Spooky, I wonder if they molted

literally wut

Prime is in no doubt a phazon creation, there's almost a whole line of phazon metroids that look like it

>le malt meme
They're fossils.

ya pretty much just don't use your brain

You can't fossilize that fast

If they're life energy then I doubt a planetary destruction can kill them.

Can you shove a metroid up your ass? If so, what does it feel like?

>Phaaze has an impact crater
>It's littered with fossils of primes
>Golly gee where did this planet come from?

Sounds like bullshit head cannon or some stupid youtube theory.

What, they aren't fossils we established that already.

I'm sure a Space Pirate has shoved one up his ass through a TUUUBBBEEE like a hamster

If they aren't fossils why are they rocks colored and jetting out of the walls?

did you not see the chozo memories?

Who said they're rocks?

Life energy is a thing that is detectable with advanced technology. It sort of has a hive mind-like sentience and didn't like what the Chozo were doing to it physically manifested itself and attacked them. Then the Chozo created Metroids to eat life energy and they dealt with the X that way.

No, they're physically manifested life energy so they can still be physically hurt like when Samus shoots them in Fusion or when they were caught in the explosion.

I honestly don't think he did.

I love the idea that the Chozo cloned Metroid DNA from a Leviathan and Primes were actually the Progenitor for Metroids instead of an offshoot but I doubt Sakamoto would have the balls to reference Prime twice in one century.

I mean Aeion since it doesn't seem to be affected by Samus's weapons in the game. Plus with Samus clearing out the Metroid's I would not be surprised if the Federation got a hold of Aeion energy from SR388.

It also wouldn't make much sense

The eyes of normal human beings that don't REEE over the possible inconsistency the structures bring to the chozo-metroid creation story.

The notion that they aren't fossils is based on a rejection of that inconsistency, brought with outrageous head canon to deflect it that is perhaps just as outrageous as the theories the support it.

Aion already seems like Sakamoto ripping off phazon so maybe he does have the balls.

Not all of them, no. Will youtube them now

Incorrect, the game themselves refer to them as husks, and you're embarrassing yourself with your headcanon and long sentences with no substance.

Not him but I think the Protius Ridley thing was just a one-time thing just to explain how Ridley became organic again, I don't see something like that happening again.

>refers to them as husks
Which is another word for remains. Point being their set up to imply that Phaaz is perhaps phaaz because of said creatures.

Do you know what the head canon is? That they're
>Primes discarding their exoskeletons despite the fact that Prime only rips itself from it once you've dismantled it
>They're in the walls because the planet is eating them
>They're failed Dark Samus experiments for a new body, thrown into the air and also being eaten by the planet

Lol the stuff people will come up with to avoid the obvious statement because it causes a contradiction.

It's more likely that Dark Samus was taking Metroids to Phaaze and like with the leviathans speeding up their growth

They aren't set up like that at all though, you're trying to spout your head canon as fact and it's really embarrassing

What happens if you mix the two?

Except there wasn't a single mature prime encountered on the planet and if I recall even hopping metroids were absent in place of corrupted hoppers.

Odd enough, despite the claims that the metroids were brought there, they spawn from odd jelly glands encountered nowhere else in the game.

Maybe you should squint at them, maybe the rough grey stony textures will pop out and dispel whatever delusion you have about them.

Anyone who had never played the game seeing bunch of rock colored crabs poking out of solid rock would call them fossils.

better question

and x-parasite meets with a high end ing

does x absorb ing, or does ing posses x?

Ing posses X, Ing aren't exactly organic.

im gonna call it and say that they likely are husks, dark samus would have been bringing metroids to phaze with her, and likely trying to make more primes/being like herself to shove into meteorites to spread both phaze and herself simultaneously, hence why no live versions are found. she matures them, cracks the shell, and sticks the ethereal forms into seeds ready for deployment.

So you use the absence of evidence as evidence? kek. That doesn't disprove anything, the primes being there at all lends more credence to Dark Samus experimenting than them being there naturally, and they couldn't be fossilized naturally over time because Metroids are native to SR388 not Phaaze and the only time anyone went to Phaaze was when Dark samus discovered it and high jacked a leviathan to use for interstellar travel to and from the planet, not to mention the Chozo who discovered the planet said the distance was too far even for the chozos standards, there would be no way for them to get there and leave metroids on the planet, and since we know that Metroids are chozo creations, and the only time Chozo encountered phazon was on Tallon IV, we can discard the idea that they are native to Phaaze. You might be able to theorize that Dark Samus was making them and sapping them of phazon but that doesn't make sense because of the fact she's on the planet that produces the stuff.

both of you are faggots, my explanation solves everything

Compared to Zebes it's rather ambiguous. The station could've left just a big crater rather than destroying it.

I said the beginning of that earlier though.

This

the why are you fagging it up with him over textures from a wii game in a bid to look smarter to eachother?

Unless a leviathan landed on SR388 before Phaaze's destruction there it wouldn't be possible for phazon to be located there

What was his fucking problem?

This gives me an idea:Now bare with me: what if the station didn't destroy Sr388, but left it kind of fragmented like a broken planet, maybe divided into massive planetary shards ala Starfox adventures, except closer together? The plot could involve unearthing even more crap buried beneath the surface, maybe some super weapons with metroid DNA infused into them. What if Samus wasn't the first time they infused DNA into something? Better yet, what if it's something on the scale of the Cluster from Steven Universe, except not a massive letdown written by lesbian tumblr feminists?Imagine it being so destructive that it takes cracking the planet open with nukes to unearth it.

The experiment's name? Metroid Dread.

>cracks them open
Lol what? The exeskeleton is a part of their body m8, prime leaving it's shell was the equivalent to an Omega ripping its core out and trying to eat you with it. That entire concept makes little sense unless you're trying to say leviathan seeds are metroids.


I'm using what I see infront of me, large crabs with stony textures getting out from the rock walls of a rocky crator similiar to that of the impact crator on Talon.

I am not conflating them as a bunch of autistic shit to revoke that contradiction simply because Fusion revealed chozo made metroids and that SR-388 is their home world. In fact I don't even consider that a contradiction since the basis of metroid creation is never revealed.

As for the "finding phaaz " tibit, it assumes Chozo are all communicating and sharing knowledge and it assumes that they needed to find phaaz to get the hypothetical genetic material to create metroids.

the pirates under the influence of dark samus/phazon brought the metroids there. At least this is the simplest explanation

Not necessarily, they would have to had found some specimen like prime though.

My only issue with this is the glandular walls with infinite respawns. Thought it's possible that Dark Samus was using the aura unite to funnel the planets resources into spawning metroids using the ones brought as the basis.

sorry I don't follow, been a while since I read prime 3's lore. What do you mean by glandular walls with infinite respawns?

That's the most likely case. Phazon is pretty horrifying

When you get to phaaz there are big jelly walls that spawn phazon metroids. The scan says something about their being innumerable eggs within if I remember.
Something is laying them and it seems likely it's the planet itself.

Dark Samus probably used the Aurora Unit to make the planet do that. Sentient planets were a mistake.

If that's the case then I think mindjacked space pirates brought over a few metroids and the planet itself ultramutated them to replicate faster, much like fusion metroids in impact crater

Can we talk about how stupid it is that Phaaze's destruction elminated all the Phazon in the universe? It doesn't make sense since Phaaze would eventually be swallowed up by whatever Sun it's orbiting so what would be the point of having the planets it corrupts be tied to it so closely? That's not an evolutionary advantage.

Yeah that was an asspull though the substance was described as dimensionally unstable so perhaps the unstable reaction of the planet imploding made it settle in another reality.

either that or the planets not fully corrupted were tied to Phaaze, so assuming the planet has been around long enough there are a shit ton of other Phaaze's around

All of phazon works via a hivemind through phaaze, phaaze being destroyed causes phazon to degenerate since the substance itself doesn't have a stable working
