(Anonymous) 2015-07-09 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)I still ship it 'cause I don't care how fucked up it is.
And because I kind of shipped it before playing the game...an M rated Metroid fic was actually the first porny thing I ever read when I was like 12 or 13. I still remember the fic too!

Samus has traditionally been viewed as a strong, capable character who kicks ass -- one of the original strong female characters in video games dating back to the mid-80s. Other M made her into a creepy, weak, co-dependent weirdo who can barely do jackshit when this dude's involved.

Like seriously. This is a joke comic but this pretty much happens in game.
Samus has a lava proof suit. She can literally will it on with a thought. It carries no negative consequences to her whatsoever (She can keep it on indefinitely without additional power drain, it doesn't have any weaknesses the suit she's wearing has, etc.) SHE WAITS FOR THIS GUY TO TELL HER TO TURN ON HER SUIT. WHILE IN THE LAVA ROOM. THE LAVA WHICH IS FILLING UP THE ROOM. HE CAN LITERALLY SEE EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE ROOM. HE KNOWS THERE IS FUCKING LAVA THERE.
Samus quit this organization that he's a high ranking officer in because she wanted to do things her own way. Somehow she has forgotten this part of her character and literally does whatever he says, and not until he says it, for most of this damn game. Either she has brain damage, he has some sort of moron inducing telepathy power that also affects him while he has it on (why wouldn't he want her to turn on the lava suit? She's doing stuff for him and he legit wants it done) That, or she really, really realllllly wants to fuck him. And all the blood that his brain used for common sense has gone to his dick.
I have feels about this games characterization. Negative feels.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-09 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)What I understood from the game was that Samus was clearly traumatized from losing the Baby Metroid and so encountering people from her past -- Adam, especially -- wasn't particularly good for her mental health. He was clearly still upset with her for leaving the Federation and I always felt that this was Samus being stubborn as hell and trying to prove how tough she was because his opinion matters to her.
On Adam's end, he's monitoring everyone, so I think he wasn't aware of Samus being in that situation until he checked in on her. He was probably working with someone else until then.
Of course, the actual answer is that this is for gameplay related reasons -- it's meant to challenge the player.
But...yeah...that's my in-universe rationalization for it.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-12 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)Which would've made sense if she left dramatically or because of some misconduct or going against his orders but NOPE, he's just pissed she left period.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-12 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)Not to mention, and I'm aware it's a small thing but it didn't help, SHE FRIGGIN SHRANK. She's been canonically taller than most men before but nooo can't be properly submissive if she isn't tiny.
*I know it's a thing in Japan along with her monotone voice being badass there, but still. Wtf?
