Do you think there should be a serial action cartoon in the Metroid setting? Should Samus actually be a bounty hunter, or should they just get rid of that, since Japan didn't know what that meant when they gave her that career?

If it goes the way of Other M, fuck no.

If they do it like a Samurai Jack cartoon, yeah.

Not if the ZS would have to be in it.

I hope you learned an important lesson OP. Don't start any Metroid related thread with a ZSS pic, or it will be doomed to failure.

The life of a mercenary is lonely and very anti-hero.

I think Samus would do a better job as a full-time hero, but not by herself.

Samus works alone, though.

I figure it'd work almost like Samurai Jack did, albeit with a bit more continuity between episodes.

why would nintendo make a western cartoon when they will go with the anime route

She isn't a mercenary, she's a bounty hunter for the GF and will do pro-bono stuff if it comes her way.

Why didn't Japan know what a bounty hunter is?

Because Japan doesn't actually like Metroid much. Most of Samus's popularity and sales come from the west, and the west was the only place that cared when Other M gave her a lobotomy.

>Cartoon about the ultimate 6'3" blue eyed, blond haired waifu who fights space pirates
How the fuck would this not be successful?

Bounty hunting is illegal in Japan.

W-wait, are you telling me the nips actually liked Other M?

Japanese creators have this problem with picking up and using English words they have no idea what they mean just because they sound cool.

Also, no country in the world besides the US and some African shithole has bounty hunters so nobody knows what that means.

No, don't worry. Other M was (supposedly) an attempt to draw in the Japanese audience by making Samus more "moe," but no one cared there, either.

Please just report and hide this thread so OP can try again and not be retarded. Barneyfag will not stop, even if his posts get deleted. OP if you're still here, and assuming you didn't do this on purpose, just don't be a fucking retard and don't use ZSS as your opener. That always turns a thread to shit instantly.

What kind of sidekick could Samus even have? Anything sounds awful.

Bounty Hunter

Someone who hunts individuals with bounties

How the fuck do you not know what that is at first glance even if it is illegal in your country?

I don't get it, what's a Barney?

I don't know, I'm not fucking Japanese.

A faggot who has plagued all boards for a very long time

Barney is an old kids show about a singing purple dinosaur.

How the fuck do you not know who Barney is?

Because you translated it wrong, owing to the concept not existing in your country. Or perhaps you simply heard it in something else and used it just because it sounded cool. Like another user said, Japan does this a lot.

Honestly, I'd like Samus to stay a bounty hunter, show her hunting down dangerous criminals and pirates, but obviously not just for the money, since the Federation doesn't pay well.

Oh, I wasn't a faggot as a kid.

I'd don't know how'd you do it besides Samurai Jack in space

I suppose it'd be kinda hard to do as a prime time cartoon, since Samus uses guns AND kills her enemies.

Yes, metroid is dead on video game business.
Rather try a cartoon than a sequel for Other M.

...nothing?...

Just make all her enemies robots...

Fuck, a metroid cartoon really would just be Samurai Jack in space, if Jack was a Amazonian waifu

I'd ship it.

Sure. Put ICS on the project. I always liked his approach to Samus, playing off the weirdness that is her life in ways that alternate between the comedic and the serious.

Cause then you think about it, given everything she went through as a kid and how she was raised? She's a mess. She can't not be. All of her formative years were spent with the Chozo. She has very little in common with most humans she will encounter, and all of the Chozo are dead now.

Did you ever notice captain falcon is a bounty hunter too? I can understand you may not know this since in his games he only races. But why don't you feel like Samus was a bounty hunter?

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about samus anymore, don't know why but they pretty much ignore her and metroid now.

>The life of a mercenary is lonely and very anti-hero.
Dude, you don't even know the half of it.

I'd go into it, but I could go on for days about Metroid, and this thread would just devolve into me telling people crazy shit, and nobody wants that.

I can see her working as a bounty hunter to pay the bills, because it lets her hunt down bad people and get paid for it without really forcing her to work for anyone and get tied up with them. That would satisfy her personal heroic sensibilities, as long as she got to pick her jobs and only went after the really bad guys instead of people who are just not paying their taxes or whatever.

And, of course, sometimes she gets involved in problems she isn't getting paid for. But at some point, she needs to earn money to live. And bounty hunting satisfies that.

The metroid crises was her high point, but its also a pretty small amount of her life. She can't be dealing with metroids ALL the time.

Speak unto me, user. I would hear your wisdom.

She doesn't hunt bounties, only kill entire planets.

I know about Captain Falcon being an alleged bounty hunter, too. Dunno where he finds time.

>put a horrific, low-tier fetish artist on it

Yea, great idea. Besides we know from Fusion that she's fairly normal if not a bit terse.

I would murder someone for a Samurai Jack style Metroid series

I could see Ripley having a pretty substantial bounty on his head, being leader of space pirates and all

He is like really fast I would guess they don't have fzero races everyday

He has an annoying tendency to not stay dead, though. Wonder if ballsier Fed officials ever razz her about that, and how many pieces they're left in afterwards?

Captain Falcon has actually hunted bounties.

Source: SNES/Super Famicom F-Zero instruction manual.

you can't blame Samus for the space pirates' ability to pull of crazy science

it's a shame this never got past the concept art stage

I want to see captain falcon as a licensed bounty hunter in mega city one

f-zero races televised from the cursed earth

Samus' life is fucking awful.

So, we all know about the whole K-2L thing. Little 3 year old Samus Aran is living on this colony with her parents Virginia and Rodney, and all is well. Until the Space Pirates show up and start tearing shit hp looking to steal the fuel source the colonists were mining. They kill pretty much everyone, and in the chaos, Samus goes up to their leader (who is a goddamn dragon, incidentally), and tries to talk it out with him. The dragon, Ridley turns out to be a bloodthirsty asshole and tries to set the 3 year old on fucking fire. Virginia, who has no doubt been frantically looking for her child, dives in front of the fire blast and sacrifices herself to protect her daughter, leaving the child with the lovely mental scar of her mother being turned into crispy bacon. Meanwhile, Rodney has infiltrated the pirate ship and decides to set his weapon to overload to blow up the ship, crippling the pirate's attack and forcing them to retreat without their prize. So Samus is an orphan now-BUT WAIT! It gets worse, for Ridley decides to show off his nifty healing factor by scooping up what's left of the kid's parents and fucking eating them! And then he leaves, leaving little Samus all alone in the ruins with naught but the clothes on her back, her pet rabbit-squirrel thing, and a lifetime's worth of nightmares.

And that's only the first half of her back story.

>all these Samurai Jack posts

So the finale is Samus getting replaced with Adam as the focus, she falls in love with him, and then Adam kills Ridley?

>mrs muplodocus dutygenerate strikes again

kill us all

>those feet

Japs loved Other M because it made Samus into a 5'6" "I need you big strong men to help me and tell me what to do" PTSD waifu instead of the 6'3" amazonian lone warrior of few words that gets shit done that she has been before.
Proving once and for all Japs have shit taste

Ment for

She can bird-claw her big toe

If they made it a slow paced, atmospheric type of thing like Samurai Jack, with a few dashes of Mad Max here and there, it would be great. It would do great with a spaced out overall storyline about the space pirates

Metroid Other M was this weird thing where they made it as close to being a JRPG as they could in order to attract the Japanese audience, which was never big on Metroid to begin with. As a result, it alienated the western fan base and they hated it, and in Japan it sold more or less the same as all the other Metroid games. Funnily enough, Japan and USA had similar complaints about the game, from story to character to gameplay, but America was just more vocal about it

Moral of the story: Know your audience

Certifiably false. They thought it was shit too. It sold better than a usual Prime game but it still sold poorly. Many comments took issue with the depiction of Samus. Maps are notorious for their shit taste, but in this instance they were on the same page as whitey.

>Proving once and for all Japs have shit taste
Was this ever in question?

And Wolf from the Star Fox series

>Ripley
It's Ridley like Ridley Scott

not a bad idea. but it needs to be on either adult swim or no network at all.

Doesn't this guy draw porn?

Yeah, I always get those mixed up

obviously yes

How is it obvious? Is it because this entire board recognizes the artist, or is it something else?

As our persistent autistic friend is quick to point out, it's an MLP thing. You can usually assume someone who draws this shit also does (grotesque) porn.

>also does (grotesque) porn.
desu, I've seen some of the porn. It's not that grotesque.

It is if you consider sameface grotesque

no, because it'd all be shitty flash animation and weird artstyles.

the new Samurai Jack proved you can make computer animated action cartoons that actually look good if you put effort into it, nothing else has an excuse anymore.

Neither my eyes nor my dick can tell the difference.

fucking die

They had the same complaints as the west, you idiot.

I hate their guts

>6'3" amazonian

Hi Dobson. Just because Nintendo Power said it doesn't make it true.

That NP comic was done by an artist who is an in-house Nintendo of Japan employee, so I suspect he had more of an idea to what the developers wanted Samus to be than you think.

It makes a lot more sense than a 5'6" woman being universe known badass who kicked the shit out of hundreds of space pirates.

>petite amazonian waifu

hmmmm

Guess she's probably glad Ridley keeps coming back, since she keeps getting to kill him.

>petite amazonian
That's an oxymoron user, the definitions are basically the exact opposite

If you're talking about this, it isn't Nintendo Power, it's the official first party strategy guide released by Nintendo. Also they say she's 6'3" in the Metroid 2 manual, even in the Japanese version, so whatever.

>those fights in episode 2 and 3

cumming.jpg

Other M was inconsistent about everything, including her height. Just watch every time she's next to the other characters, in and out of their suits. And don't give me shit about her suit adding height, you see it disappear off of her and she doesn't drop three feet to the ground like someone pulled a rug from under her.

>If you're talking about this, it isn't Nintendo Power, it's the official first party strategy guide released by Nintendo

That's all 100% accurate at the time it was printed since Yoshi's island hadn't come out yet.

Not accurate to the original Japanese intent

The most notable is Anthony. In his suit he's the same height and width as the other guys. Out of his suit in the ending, he's a foot taller than everyone and his arms and shoulders are wider than his suit.

>People in here actually want Samus to be some 5'6" scared little bitch instead of a 6'3" "I can crush a space pirates head between my thighs" gal.
Having tastebuds in your asshole must really suck.

I wouldn't compare art by Benimaru Itoh, who actually has worked on nintendo games, to some guy who wrote copy on an ad. If he really had no connection to Nintendo, why would the Old Bird/orphan Samus backstory thats become reused in the actual games debut in the NP comics? Thats a longshot coincidence.

This is the realistic route

Just adapt Samus & Joey. It's prime action cartoon material.

No. Metroid fans are insufferable assholes. Yes, Other M was shit, we get it.

Well then I guess I can thank God we'll never have to suffer that shit.

I'm 99.9% convinced you start these threads with images you get off MLP boards

I mean what the fuck do you reverse image search every thread you find?

I believe you. Just show the picture from the Metroid 2 manual that shows Samus out of her suit.

...does that Samus has 2 left feet?

>tfw not man enough for Samus

You're just repeating yourself, aren't you? At least your dedicated to your cause. Even if it's objectively wrong.
