@NotImportant@WashedOutGundamPilot@givenup It's like the one major Nintendo series that follows the same protagonist over the course of many games and tells a cohesive story, and even has an official manga Metroid backstory. Even if the Metroid games themselves aren't story-heavy, Samus has been through A LOT.
@givenup@ChristiJunior@NotImportant@WashedOutGundamPilot this image is outdated and not even remotely representative of Samus beyond Super. Samus doesn't have brunette hair, that ended with Prime, and the varia suit is significantly larger than her. We don't call Mario jumpman or talk about Pauline. I hate this retarded nonsense from some booklet in 1994 because when it's about another character or series suddenly it doesn't count
@ChristiJunior@beardalaxy@NotImportant@WashedOutGundamPilot@givenup people were complaining that the reveal was Pauline because nobody cares. She got barely any pomp when she was in Odyssey, treated correctly as a nostalgic reference. Nobody is requesting Peach be replaced by Pauline or that she was the original princess like Sonic autists do with their irrational hatred of Amy over Sally
The rest of the post was spot on tho.
