Evolution of Metroids Life Cycle (SR388) in Metroid Games (1986 - 2021) 

Nah, more like "Before 2002"

I started being interested on metroid spring 2021 and I'm a big fan now

Samurai cupcake ( no idea why your named after a my little pony character) you do realise that I have recently unlock the power bomb don't make me use it young man

Y can’t he crawl

@@soggydog1212 Samus crawling in a vent in Zero Mission : "you happy now?" 😒

@@alcero2399 mass destruction…

baby's cry...

It's been ten years and I thought I could handle it by now, but no. When she said it, I had to pause the video.

I personally prefer the 3DS model but Fusions was an absolutely gorgeous sprite

Haha!

Alien dinosaur with earrape abilities.

What about the second queen metroid you know the not metroid 2 queen metroid the one with the weird crystal things

Didn't that one in Other M hurt her though?

@@Zonefire15 that’s cause that baby Metroid in Other M never imprinted Samus as it’s mom unlike the one from Metroid 2, so it’s hostile to her

SAME!!!!! I absolutely love everything about the games but honestly it’s that detail that makes Metroid my favorite franchise ever.

Sprite*

I think Fusion is easily the best depiction of the Omega Metroid so far. As imposing and intimidating as it looks in other games, it's in a class of it's own in Fusion. I also love how there are a couple small hints that imply that by the end of the game, there's an Omega Metroid roaming around Sector 1(SRX) and then you have to fight one at the very end.

@@alexbridden1594 I never knew what those broken bubbles were when I was little. It wasn't until I was a little older that I realized that was the method getting older. What a fantastic game :)

@@thx4chrckingin I know right? When I finally figured that out, it was an awesome feeling. Also, there were usually fewer X parasites left in the areas where the Metroid husks were.

I think it also had the best sound design. I wish they would have made its screams in Samus Returns similar.

I'm making that video right now, along with the bosses from the prime saga

Wrong planet.

I would have to disagree if we are talking power per metroid. An alpha metroid is stronger than a larva metroid because all you got to do with a larva is hit it with the ice beam to freeze it and then hit with missiles. You don't notice that because you never fight multiple alphas at once while you do fight multiple larva at once. Yes you can kill an alpha quick and easy too with a parry or two but at least you have to wait for the window.

They are somewhat more Durable but I wouldn’t say Stronger

The chozo never intended for them to metamorphose, aeon energy from the x parasites did that to them. The nearly invincible-but-weak-to-the-cold stage of their life cycle was supposed to be their adult form. They weren't supposed to be able to reproduce but life finds a way. This actually reminds me of axolotls. Axolotls are technically juveniles for their entire lives; *technically*, they can be forced into puberty by lab-induced hormones n stuff and transition into adults, but that doesn't occur in nature. Metroids are juveniles for what's supposed to be their whole lives (which is who knows how long) UNLESS they get exposed to enough aeon energy to start molting. (I'm unsure if they can all become queens or if males become omega metroids instead, do they even have sexes? I feel like they could reproduce asexually; some animals can do both.)

The baby Will always be with her In her memories

Judging by how the Metroids reacted to her presence in Fusion, the baby would have recognized her Mawkin DNA after transforming and attacked het

The baby canonically lived for under a day it probably would’ve been a zeta IF it even could evolve

@@boogaloobender3462 oh right, because every single one of the Metroid in Fusion is a clone of the baby. But then again, maybe it won't, baby did attack Samus near the end of Super Metroid, but then realized it was her "mama" and stopped. Then we have the whole protecting thing from Mother Brain. The Metroid clones probably will indeed attack Samus since they were born in a lab environment.

I don’t think the Baby could Evolve to a Queen or an Omega because it needed to grow in the Environment of SR and as we saw it just Growth bigger because of the lack of energy on the planet

Possibly, but if the developers decided to bring back the Metroid species through a plot thread like that, it would really cheapen certain story elements of the game, like the last Metroid sacrificing itself for Samus, or Samus becoming a Metroid through DNA injection. It would be like bringing Tony Stark back into the MCU after his sacrifice in Endgame.

If drifting in space would had occured, they would probably die of starvation.

Space is cold

Metroids have also been shown being subdued by Samus’s explosives in Metroid 2, so I kinda doubt infants that small survived.

@@Justic_ that would explain why you need to shove so many damn super missles into them!

I like to think of it as a sort of mutation, since if i remember correctly, they were exposed to a certain type of energy that caused them to evolve past the Chozo's expectations. That's if i can recall correctly

It all harks back to Aliens. Metroids = facehuggers, zeta/omega = xenomorph, Metroid Queen = Xeno Queen. It's cool seeing the metroid's membrane in each form.

many specieson Earth start out looking completely different from their adult forms

@@tomaszhallay6653 Got some exemples where it has so many completely different steps besides some insects (worm

@@arminxvs3372 Amphibians? Fish? Hell, many newborn mammals look like dumplings. Also, Metroids are clearly invertebrates, so really, their life cycle can e very well equated to insects

The metroids in zero mission gave me a lot of trouble back then. They really are the apex predator.

The prime metroids will be appear in a video of only prime metroids

The metroids from other M are the best in my opinion, they are fast, persistent and very agile They are like piranhas and behave like a predatpr just bugging the enemy knowing that they are practically Indestructible Until they face Samus and the ice beam xD

Prime Metroids don't really show a life cycle, they're mutations

"queen Metroids routinely almost kill her multiple times in the series" ... twice isn't quite routine

15:59 That A Lot Of Damage!

Maybe

@@Commander-peepers Well... since now a certain misconception was rended technically true... from a certain point of view...

@@a.liguria2698 danm u came fast. And also I hope they return I loved them a lot

@@Commander-peepers I would love to fight the evolved stages again, this time in HD!

Yeah about that...

She isn't half X, SHE EATS X!

There’s no x the Metroid dna killed the x in her body

@@Potato_tomato47 I mean the suit. In Fusion and Dread the suit it's half Chozo and half x

Also I'm pretty sure you can count x in her alphabet soup genetic code because of her absorption of raven beak x at the end of dread

The super metroid is the baby

It’s just the baby swollen from the beta rays used to clone the other metroids

Im will upload a video of all metroids in prime series when prime 4 is out

@@bossrunner I see. Alright

It doesn't lay there with its mouth wide open for nothing

if the baby didnt die it would have become one

What do you mean with am2r did much better?

FUCK AMR2

I think same.

He's probably not interested in fanmade games.

Just official games not includes FAN GAMES

There not actually being birthed, she's kinda like a living nest that houses them until they develop enough and use older ones as guards.

Too annoying

@@isauldron4337 why it's just hovering because of their weight they can maybe only float for 20secs & once they become a queen they loose all flight abilities

You didn't know you could do that?

Except metroid prime hunter

@@varru7640 and quite possibly Metroid Dread.

@@paperluigi6132 because that game is said to have X activity so a metroid may be sent by the federation that they, once again, reserved.

@@yokai59loi36 yeah they sent one there...

Shhhhh I think it's best that no one tells him...

Just the babies

@@Zonefire15 that think Sam us is their parent

@@Potato_tomato47 well that Metroid was newly hatched and the first being it came across was Samus so it accepted her as its mother.

Just that one.

What do you mean?

looks like there is one more from Dread

@@davideizzo2683 ho yeah you're right , and probably the most powerful metroid !

Well... there's only one metroid in Dread.

@@thewingsoffried-om no jellyfish Metroid or any of its natural evolutions

@@seroujghazarian6343 Ah, you already know. K then.

Because they are diferent races, the SR388 race appear only in the Main/2D Saga

@@bossrunner didn't know about this part of the lore. Thanks.

The video only show the SR388 specie, the prime specie video is in coming

Not official game

I'm fine with the omegas however I do agree with you on the zetas

Prime Samus also talked, kind of.

Dread Samus spoke only once, in Chozo.

Not an official release

But its still nice that its a fan favorite

But metroid prime don't have metroid bosses

Just metroid power wave ice and plasma

It's not an official game bro.

@@TheMissingLink2 pfft, it may not be official but it is damn good and no one should ignore this masterpiece of fan dedication.

A pesar de no ser oficial, muestra el ciclo a la perfección, y como los mismos se transforman poco a poco. Una pena que no esté .,_,.

You mean she has human, Chozo and Metroid dna?

@@biebermans5149 also yes, but x dna also

@@sanszxthejedi6606 I didn’t know that. I thought that by having Metroid dna she could absorb the x, not also gain their dna.

@@sanszxthejedi6606 she don't have x dna she became a Metroid and because of that she can "eat" the X

Your math teacher must be very proud of you
