I...didn't see it that way, to be honest.

She reminded me a lot of Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender in his desperation to win his father's love and approval. Adam's not quite as much of a dick as Ozai though.

Honestly, her relationship with the Adam AI in Metroid Fusion was much, much better handled. Other M wouldn't have been so terrible if it was more like that, with lots of resentment and outright rebellion on Samus' part, because that would actually be in line with her character.

I can understand the resentment and rebellion in Fusion but I thought Other M really was about her being in a vulnerable spot. You see the same thing with Zuko in A:TLA, once he realizes what an asshole his father is being, he rebels and calls him. And clearly deeply resents the man as well.

Before that though, he's very much focused on how to appear perfect to his father.

Yeah, but Samus isn't Zuko.

Yeah but I'm just saying that I don't mind her being portrayed this way.

I feel, given the trauma she's suffered, that she has understandable reactions.

I don't think she's ALWAYS this way - it was more of the fact that she'd lost the metroid, never dealt with a lot of shit from her past, and then suddenly had Adam and a lot of other crap from her past dredged up.

For something like Metroid Prime, I don't think she would be as emotionally vulnerable.

Good for you that you don't mind. Just be willing to accept that you are in the minority for a very good reason and while I'm not usually willing to put value judgments on someone's opinion you probably should feel bad.

Damn right.

you're the one who said you LOVE people getting angry about it

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-07-12 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet OP is projecting. Judging from their replies they're in deep denial about how messed up the ship is and is pissed off people keep breaking their illusion by pointing out how the plot and their justifications doesn't make sense.

It's kinda funny to watch.

Re: OP

Right, but the only time Samus "rebels" against him he can't hear her and she goes right back to wanting his approval again so it pretty much amounts to nothing.

And her reward is getting shot in the back. And she still sings his praises sooo not really like Zuko at all.
