What if you desperately, barely killed Ridley in Super Metroid?
Also it's fucking disingenuous to demand more mature storylines from Nintendo and then when they make even a token, faltering attempt immediately compare it to Megaman, a franchise about a lovable boy robot whose plot has for the last two decades been "It was Dr. Wily after all". It would be more appropriate in this case to compare Samus to Solid Snake. If someone Snake thought he had killed many times showed up suddenly and started posing dramatically and roaring, we would be lucky if Snake
only spent ten seconds gawking like a retard before deciding to finally do something about it.
Way to go Nintendo. In later chapters you can have her be raped and then get pregnant.
The funny thing is that people are acting as if this is actually what happened.
I can't say I'm surprised though. I knew from the instant I heard Sakamoto say that he wanted to explore the character of Samus "as a woman" all those months ago that something like this was coming. You can get away with all kinds of sexist, misogynistic bullshit in the videogame industry but if it's Samus... if you DARE touch our PRECIOUS, PURE SAMUS... by God you are going to hear about it.
For fuck's sake this is Nintendo we are talking about. At least they are TRYING for once. It's like a 14 year old just poured their heart out into their first really serious short story and the internet just crumpled it up, threw it in their face and asked why don't they write a GOOD story. Or maybe they should just stick to sports.
