I'm assuming it would be set up in a similar style to Samurai Jack. There's a vague overarching plot, probably to do with hunting Ridley down before his plan to create a new Mother Brain works or some shit, but is ultimately just about a quiet loner wandering around the galaxy, getting into fights, saving animals, and blowing up the occasional planet.

It would only last the one season.

As long as they keep to a more minimalistic style of world-building and storytelling to mirror how Super Metroid and the Prime trilogy reflected on her character and the setting, and ignores everything relating to Other M.

Then sure, yeah, it'd be great.

I want a series focused on the Space Pirates Science Team.

Would they use music from the games or compose something new?
Or, god forbid, use licensed songs that are popular in the time of series' animating?

This is important, original music is part of the pretty isolating and spooky Metroid experience.

I was about to say this. It would very well with a silent protagonist, a stylised show about Samus's adventures. Depending on the creativity of the crew and premises, it could last more than a season (a la Samurai Jack), but I would prefer a short and sweet series with an actual conclusion.

I would say that a short 6-episode anime OVA style rendition of Super Metroid would make for a good jumping-off-point, after which the series could be about Samus's other adventures for as long as the crew wanted it.

To really make it work, I would ensure that Samus is never seen outside of her power armour until the very last episodes/scene. If she's required to go without it for some time I would put her constantly in shadow or covered wholly by scenery and the like, to ensure that the focus is on adventure and action rather than cheesecake.

I imagine that they would use a combination of re-orchestrated tracks from the original games and new compositions for specific instances. If it were me, however, I would put as much emphasise as possible on ambience and sfx and the original soundtrack to preserve the original theme of isolation.

>Samus doesnt talk
>Samus is never out of her suit

You guys don't even know what Metroid is, do you?

I never said that here

I'd be fucking ecstatic if it captured the feel and atmosphere of the games just right and expanded on the lore.

Each episode is a new bounty, and through the series she gains new armors and powers ,the series is mostly silent but instead of the no-outline style of samurai jack it has a mignola-esque style with heavy shadows

yes, thats exactly how to make a good metroid show.

i know this would break lore, but it'd be cool to have her constantly hunted by SA-X, who only randomly shows up in rare episodes. its always this OH SHIT moment, and all samus can do is try to evade or slow it down.

This a so much. Maybe special 5 minute shorts that accompany every episode.

Just make up some BS about how the remains either were recovered or landed somewhere, and one last SA-X survived.

probably the only nintendo license other than zelda that could produce a pretty good movie/show

They could be like the tachikoma shorts that were in GItS:SAC.

TUUUUUUUBES

Oh my fucking hell that would be godly

Hahaha, but actually it's Canadian flash animated and Samus constantly does quirky things and uses the grapple beam to make whipcrack noises

She doesn't talk in the games I've played which is all I really give a shit about. Not sure why you think not being familiar with an obscure mango=not knowing what Metroid is.

Anyway agree with those anons, a mostly quiet Samus who stays in her suit for the majority of the series is what I would like to see. Samurai Jack was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread.

You know what? That could work.

Metroid games are pretty light on story so a "monster of the week" type show with Ridley being the big baddy would be perfect.

I haven't played it in a while, but I'm pretty sure she speaks during the intro of Super Metroid, "The last known Metroid is in captivity, blah blah blah".
So it's clear she can communicate, the games just never really needed her to do so.

You're posting the wrong Metroid manga.

Yeah, I never said she was or should be mute. Jack isn't mute either, he's just not a chatterbox.

>Space Pirate equivalent of "MY LEG" each time she tears shit up

>Getting hit on by women infatuated by "his" machismo and power

>Ridley gets a villain laugh

I dig

Quiet people aren't mute. They just speak when they need to.

The point is she should be more like Jack who can go an entire episode without saying a word if he doesn't need to, and less like say Spider-Man having to narrate his entire life in every frame of the cartoon

>Woman hit on Samus
I'd like that.

This, is too perfect.

>obscure

Maybe in the West, but its the basis for zero mission and other m.

>one half of entire planet shouting sexism
>other half shouting SJWism
No, I don't need it.

I still think Samus and Joey was way better.

Although I didn't mind Adam in the manga, before Other M completely changed him.

Studio FOW is making a Samus Movie but it is a year away

>tfw genuinely want to write my own Metroid comic book
>tfw don't want anyone to steal my ideas

Needs to be Samurai Jack esque.

Look I like to fap to Samus all the time, right.

But it's been like at least half a decade since Samus was in something that's both good and not porn and I'd like to see her in something that's both for a change of pace.

This. And I must humbly ask that we keep the fanservice to a minimum. If you want to jack off to Samus in a skimpy suit, there's plenty of porn sites that'll let you do it. We need something that lets her be badass again without needing to flaunt her ass everywhere. "Sexy strong empowered womyn" piss me off in media, since they're shameless shallow pandering.

On topic though, she needs some equals who can keep up with her. Be they rivals (the scotsman to Jack, for instance) or enemies (the black matrix guy to Jack), she should run up against some harsh competition, and win through hard work and cunning.

Because that's what the world so desperately needs, moar Samus porn.

Not that I have a huge problem with that, I want the badass bounty hunter again just to shake things up a bit.

aren't the bounty hunters some excellent rival materials? Also, would you prefer Ridley as the main villain, or him as a second in command?

>On topic though, she needs some equals who can keep up with her. Be they rivals (the scotsman to Jack, for instance) or enemies (the black matrix guy to Jack), she should run up against some harsh competition, and win through hard work and cunning.
I've been wanting a great, Vergil, Jetstream Sam rival figure for Samus for awhile now.

>And I must humbly ask that we keep the fanservice to a minimum

tumblr pls go, fanserive is who Samus is

>fanserive

What's that? Is that, like, a new kind of sans serif? You're calling the other person tumblr when you can't even shut up about font skeletons?

I'd like fanservice if they limited it to Varia Suit fanservice.

>Ridley get a villain laugh
as well as a badass fight with Samus

It has happen before.

>See-thru visor
Immediately ruined.

don't mind me, just dumping some Ridley things

That manga is shit

Fuck off there's tons of Samus porn out there I wat an actual no fap good content with her.

Zeroshit fanservice with half assed underage girl with huge fake boobs animu crap can die

This I like

Why is she smiling? I wish zero suit wasn't a thing. It's too hard to find good samus. fan art without it being sluttt zero suit. I just want a badass bounty hunter.

I would want at least one joke where some Space Pirates get executed for not designing a base that accommodates Ridley's size

There needs to be a bondage episode.

Metroid Fusion title screen pops up for Prime music.

DROPPED

>I want a character never existed.

Samus has LITERALLY been envisioned to be a submissive animu blob, but technical limitations prevented that from being realized.

Well I am western spoiler]and Other M is trash[/spoiler]

Don't care, still want it.

>Battletoads crossover

I would want Ridley to be like how Aku was.
A seriously threatening villain, but also have a silly side to him from time to time.

You've never read Samus and Joey, have you?

>"Looks like she needs some backup, boys!"

Man I never been to Tumblr but I fully agree with that guy. They're will never be a shortage of fans producing their own stuff, you don't need to shove it into a show. Outside of innocuous stuff like taking her suit of at the end and being a pretty woman.

>"S-Samus isn't submissive! Samus is badass!"
>Posts a screenshot of her dressed less modestly than a hooker.

Samus is for sex appeal, she was never meant to be badass, deal with it.

this came into my mind for some reasons

youtube.com/watch?v=lsDiaYRMWhM

>she was never meant to be badass

Well it happened, accidental thought it may be.

I'd watch the shit out of this despite the fact that it would be canceled after 1 season because networks don't like action cartoons.

Woah, woah, woah. Other M was shit but we at least get to keep Anthony Higgs right?

Yeah weird how that happens when you put a character in a game where she singlehandedly fights through an entire planet of powerful monsters with heavy sci-fi/horror tones throughout.

Samus having sex appeal isn't an inherent idea in Samus, it's just something that was there because she's a girl and designers in large part didn't know how to put a girl character in a game without pandering to their male audience.

...who?

Fox McCloud!

Is THIS a crossover episode?

Oh no... It's retarded.

The reveal that Samus was actually female only occurred if you played the ever loving fuck out of that game.

Fusion/Prime were the last decent games starring the bounty hunter it seems.

the best explanation I can come up with

knowyourmeme.com/memes/remember-me-mbd

Higgs wasn't even that great. Just the least shit thing in that otherwise shitty game.

You don't remember him?

Baby Metroid companion

...

No, I do. I was just trying to be witty.

They would have to give it a name.
Baby is too easy.

K, sorry about posting a bad picture. Was the first thing in google I hadn't posted from the manga yet, but that's no excuse.

Here you go.

On that note: what kind of suit(s) would you like Samus to have in this hypothetical cartoon? I personally like the Metroid 2 design.

BLAST THAT SAMUS ARAN! SHE HAS THE LAST METROID THAT WE NEED TO REVERSE ENGINEER OUR OWN ARMY OF METROIDS TO CONQUER THE GALAXY!

I don't really give a shit anymore. After what they did to Samus in Other M I have ZERO faith in Nintendo being able to craft a quality Metroid narrative. Especially in this overly-sensitive age we live in... any movie would probably be hijacked by feminists and a huge controversy would be created out of nothing. Then Nintendo or whoever is in charge would probably pander to them and have all the Metroids be designated as "male" so Samus' GIRL POWER can be forced down our throats. Just like Mario, Samus doesn't need any deep backstory, she just needs to be a silent badass protecting the galaxy from threats no one else could handle.

>For Samus to be good she has to be quiet.

Like others in this thread previously argued, I'd say "quiet, but not silent."

My own interpretation has been that she's the kind who's introverted, and won't banter pointlessly over the communications system, but speaks quite a bit when she has something to say.

I could be wrong but wasn't Metroid inspired by Aliens? Which means Samus would have been based on Ripley.

If Samus is supposed to be a borderline silent protagonist, I would want Ridley to be really talkative.
I've always imagined him as being pretty intelligent so maybe have him well-spoken and articulate. I kind of imagine something like the bad guy from Kung Fu Panda 2.

If it's fan-made it would just be self-congratulatory unfunny crap like that StarFox one is.

yep, not to mention the federation force thingy is about to release. The metroid is almost dead.

First, the hiatus and cliffhanger/lore after prime 3, then other m, terrible memes and treatments in smash brothers, hiatus, and federation force. Man, the number of things metroid went through were terrible.

Comparing Samus to Ripley is an insult to Ripley.

She's a badass engineer who took command over a squad of marines and destroyed a hive of aliens with nothing but a flamethrower. She acted like a mother to Newt and was motivated by her, without letting that motherly attachment be a liability.

Samus, in contrast, is a cocksleeve for Adam and his marines who is so hung up over a baby metroid that she literally cannot accomplish anything on her own. In the few games she's competent, she's so wooden that you could replace her with any other character and the game would remain the same.

Japs can't into strong female characters.

Calm down, mr. fanboy

>Samus, in contrast, is a cocksleeve for Adam and his marines who is so hung up over a baby metroid that she literally cannot accomplish anything on her own. In the few games she's competent, she's so wooden that you could replace her with any other character and the game would remain the same.
Or you know, we could do the sane thing and disregard Other M.

Shit doesn't that game outright contradict everything that came before it, anyway, even down to the basic timing of events?

>Disregard an official game

Is this the mental gymnastics that Metroidfags jump through to try and justify why their waifu is "badass"?

It's one game that's inconsistent to the rest of the series (and I'm not talking about Samus's characterization here) versus the rest of the series.

I'm going with the rest of the series.

If Ridley is a somewhat-hammy-but-menacing villain, what would that mean for Kraid? Dumb muscle?

I've said this before, and I'll say it a million times. Read Samus and Joey.

Like, I understand how different people can have a different view of Samus. That's reasonable. She's pretty quiet. But implying it's the Japs' fault she's that way means that you've never read this comic, and it's really good. Not only because Samus is cool and doesn't afraid of anything, it's also got some really fun side-characters and scenery.

I meant that comparison to mean "if one were to write Samus, the correct way would be to make her like Ripley"

Well, Nintendo wanted to disregard all the Prime games for Other M.

Name me one good Metroid game where Samus audibly talks...

exactly. let me remind you that audibly means you can hear it and it's not 2 sentences of text.

it is funny that Ridley is able to construct a robot of his own image. It is even funnier he does not use those technologies in battles.

You don't literally hear Samus' voice through the game speakers in Fusion but she has a lot of monologue that is much more than two sentences at a time and it's pretty good stuff.

>audibly talks...
why does that matter? She had dialogue parts in Fusion and nobody hates that game.

Nintendo can't even give us fucking games. Why would they do animation?

In nutshell
>Ridley-the charismatic leader
>Kraid-the muscle, leader's bud
>Phantoon-the creepy one
>Draygon-the disgusting one

>Kraid dumb muscle
And Mother Brain? I would love it if she had a mobile pod she could fly around in, like Krang did.

>All these comparisons between Samus and Samurai Jack

But who'd win in a fight?

they won't fight my friend. They will sit down and have a little chat on how their creators take so long to give them the treatments they should have in the first place.
