METROID: THE SKY CALLS // a Rainfall Films Intergalactic Odyssey 

And in 2023 a metroid movie is now more probable than ever before

YT has been clutch during the pandemic.

interstellar as well

That's Metroid buddy, that's is what Metroid is.

Metroid was inspired by the Alien movies so...

+Patrick Charlier They can't, they don't own the property. Even this could technically be taken down any second.

I second that Mr. J! Uhh.. I mean Patrick!

I would prefer Samus not talk though

+Patrick Charlier Definitely needs a better actress.

+Patrick Charlier I'd rather have another real Metroid game with outstanding atmosphere, gameplay and graphics!

+AIENKEI French represent !! :D

I felt the same athmosphere of his begin. Glad to see U here Aienkei, one of the single interesting & intelligent french YTer. Always a pleasure to listen to U

+AIENKEI M'aurait étonné de pas te voir dans les commentaires :)

not the giant purple space pirate (sometimes mechanical) dragon/pterodactyl?

This is beautiful.... its perfect.

This film is even more exciting than a sit-down fistfight with the toilet as your balls are caught between the seat and the rim!

+crzymn246 Please not Another M. j/k ;)

+crzymn246 yea, just one where Samus is a badass and not like Other M

+crzymn246 Ive wanted a new prime for aaages. hope the nx will bring it atleast.

+crzymn246 It's as real as the bounty hunter can get. Literally. I had to fix my eyes once I was done watching. They were glued to the screen. XD

***** Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with what they could do in a short like this, I hope to see more of this in the future!

Lol what's with the hate on Halo? It has much more well fleshed out mythos than either Metroid or Half Life do. There's a reason that Halo 3 was the best selling modern console game, I don't see Metroid or Half Life coming out with anything new and exciting to break records. Not to say that Halo 4 or 5 are good, those are fairly mediocre but that's because the previous entries set the bar so high. No hate, appreciate all franchises for what they are.

+utopiaopera let's not even talk about Halo. For whatever reason people have Halo creep into their minds when they think about Metroid and it's offensive. Halo is mediocre. Metroid is legendary. Even if you disagree, it's annoying to see people mix the two so often.

***** Lol it's obvious that you just jumped to conclusions without even reading what I wrote. I said Halo 3 WAS the best selling console game, it isn't any more obviously. I also stated that Halo 4 and 5 are mediocre compared to the previous entries in the franchise. I think you're the one here that needs to "calm the fuck down", little buddy. By the way I'd like nothing more than to see another Metroid game on the Wii U, I've been waiting ever since Prime 3 for something good to come out. That Federation Force thing doesn't count. Samus is one of my favorite characters to use in Smash and I even have the damn amiibo for it, so I don't know where you get off on this fanboy accusation. If anything, I'm a fanboy of pretty much any sci-fi stuff that involves space suits. Like I said, no hate just appreciate.

+ɠɒᴃᴙᵻᴣɫ ɬᴓᵿᵱ (ᴪ) Another illiterate shithead.

+utopiaopera I'd understand, especially after "Other M". I still reject that game as canon.

Samus is also my favorite video game character of ALL TIME 😁

Yeah cause that back is maaad

Samus Aran, along with Mario, Luigi and Sonic, are definitely my favorite video game characters 👌

Yeah !!! If that happens, I wish for 4 things only: 1.- Don't let Michael Bay do it. He'll ruin it 100% !!! 2.- Let Scarlett Johansson be Samus. 3.- Don't put make up on her. 4.- Put some philosophical theme and some violence.

And one that isn't just "Metroid: Other M: The Movie"

Yes but not a scared female next time👌🏼

@@danihz5610 yeah I get the fear thing but Samus is very specifically just.. not scared of this shit. She even remarks about it in her notes about certain items in Meteoid Prime about how she thinks she's supposed to feel fear and woe traveling to these planets and encountering hostile alien races but shebjust doesn't. She even questions herself if she's still a human anymore because of how well she handles pretty much everything. She claims at this point nothing scares or surprises her because she knows the unexpected and scary is exactly what to expect. Samus is just a stone cold bounty hunter, who really doesn't care about where she is at or what she is doing, as long as it feels like the right thing to do for her. No enemy comes across as scary, not even Phazon Ridley who's in the Mangas basically superman without a kryptonite. Samus doesn't do scared/frantic. She literally blew the core of a planet up then just... walked to her ship and casually left the planet as it was falling apart. Hell she space ponies a frigate into a moon while standing on the front of the damn thing. She doesn't do fear, and I would like to see a movie iteration get a few things right, and that is Samus' character, not a girly woman who needs to have a man in her life or else she's just bleh, the Power Suitbdoesnt break off 8n pieces like the Spartan Armor from Halo, and is quite literally completely indestructible to physical damage. It can't like, be broken physically. It can lose modules but the suitbitself can never actually sustain damage, and Samus doesn't take the helmet or any pieces off it just, materializes on and off.

+MetroidFan The last Metroid game was done by Team Ninja, not Nintendo themselves.

+HelloKittyMeowable1 Well...Nintendo Enabled them to do it so...Nintendo is to Point Fingers on letting it happen instead of doing a Delay for the sake of doing it right.

+MetroidFan Federation Force isn't even out yet.

+MetroidFan those 4 words are meaningless. You don't know its a bad game, its not even out yet. you can't draw conclusions about the game sucking or not having a Metroid feel from a minute and a half of footage

+SonofKalas22 I'm going to go ahead and say that all 3 legend of zelda games for the cdi will be better than federation force hahaaaaaaaa!

Insanely shitty dialogue. Insanely weak Samus.

@@tdog4176 Idk, how long did it take you to come up with the word "manchild"...? Did you come up with that yourself?

@ArtBuffalo You sound triggered. I make a joke about Samus being designed to be a mall rat and you get butt hurt big time and troll my comment..... and call me a troll in the process? You do realize that you are the troll here... you are all over my comments in other threads making antagonizing comments because you don't like my opinion and demand I change or else you are going to whine me to death. Smfh.

@ArtBuffalo shut up.

color scheme is everything

nope

why not ?

I disagree. Hollywood pictures based on video games have always been notoriously unfaithful to the source material. This here is a prime example of a fan film being just that; made by fans, for fans.

Hey dudes, Metroid is inspired by Alien... Since the beginning. I completely agree with AngelOfIron, don't you remember the movie Super Mario Bros ?

And yet, Warcraft did an excellent job of making a great film in the game's universe. I think there's still hope. Directors just need to change their approach.

Same!

Metroid Fusion

Metroid Dread

Echoes has some horror elements and the Valhalla in Corruption gives Dead Space.

+ThePhazonRidley Can we make a petition to force Nintendo to back this project as a full length movie? Because that will teach them how to make Metroid into a truly cinematic experience!

+TwilightWolf032 She did a good job here, but I really think Yvonne Strahovski would be the best Samus pick. On top of her resemblance, she's got the badass attitude and look.

+TwilightWolf032 see my post at the top with the link to nintendo shutting down all fan made films of metriod.

+TwilightWolf032 Not to mention it will help market Metroid to a bigger audience.

+TwilightWolf032 please don't, at least try to get a better director.

+Bliced But then how would they have the chozo communicate with her to advance the story? It was like one of the central pieces

Andre Berry for the amount of work and time put into the talking segments, finding another way to spell it out to her would have been possible.

Bliced At the expense of it needing to be longer, which means higher costs, which they most likely could not afford.

Andre Berry had samus just come across rock carvings or something that spelled it out well enough for the viewer to understand then they could have cut out more saving money. We could do this all day.

Bliced Lol, so you are saying that it would be better for the story if Samus walked into the ancient ruins and saw, written on the wall, instructions to go into space at that exact time? Perhaps the words could flash through her visor as her suit was malfunctioning, but that would be pretty drawn out to adequately convey the message or be over simplified in order to keep the audience engaged. Basically they would have had to restructure the entire story in order to not have to talk, for the story as they told it depended on dialogue.

Shut up

MiniBoo7Gaming Baby narwhals.

Wtf

Link's AMV. Those are some stellar punctuation skills you have there. Wait, I like Other M? M,just stop, I'm not a fan? What? Baby narwhals, bro.

+chewface Damn, "bro" just cancels out all credibility wherever I see it. Congrats, you sound like everyone else and have already been forgotten.

This was really well made, despite the fact I had barely any idea what was going on.

lol 😆

I think the different franchises deserve their own movies. Just slapping them all in a crossover with no reason is like another Wreck it Ralph. Total waste of potential. They're better off as their own thing.

Hahaha then Kirby arrives and eats them all. Hahahah. SUPER SMAAAAAASH BRRRROTHERS!!!

@@SgtSega he’s making a smash bros joke, man.

@@rm2kking I know. But I don't want anything like a Smash movie until these all get their own movies. Otherwise it's just another Wreck it Ralph or Space Jam New Legacy. Cameos for the sake of cameos. Yeah it's funny. I'm just saying we could have a Zelda movie. A Metroid movie. A Star Fox movie. A Mario movie (2022!)

+Vanessa Ride samus took her makeup kit with her

dude METROID PRIME FEDERATION FORCE AUG,16,MIDNIGHT ONLY FOR 3DS

Looks like horrible cash grab to me.Not at all a proper Metroid game.

Axelr0d 342 Federation Force is a complete departure from Metroid. It's a spin-off, not a true next gen Metroid title.

Would work canonically after Metroid Fusion. She was branded an outlaw after what she did. Though they would have change the ship entirely, and the suit would be more.....organic.

how is that inaccurate? Samus has always been scared and uncertain, but she always found a way to pull through the most insane and dangerous obstacles. Even in Metroid Fusion you can see this side of her very clearly when she talks about Adam in the elevator. She is strong yes but she is not invincible. Also this movie takes place before she does her first contact with the chozo, so obviously she is not yet the big bad ass bounty hunter that she will become later on.

​@@lajeandom Samus had bounty hunter training (field agent-like, think James Bond) by the Chozo since she was 6, so she's not scared and uncertain. What do you mean about when she talks about Adam in the elevator? And I think you misunderstood this part in the film (and the Samus-Chozo timeline), in the film the Chozo have left a message or a trail for her (and the Chozo have transcended and disappeared). It's not about her meeting the Chozo.

@ArtBuffalo The Chozo trained Samus to become a warrior since she was little, though I don't know about any bounty hunter training. She (most likely) also had additional training when she joined the GF

"Inaccuracies" lol sure. Is she strong and determined? Yes. Does she struggle with PTSD, depression, and loneliness after losing both her parents her chozo family? Yes. Does she still rise to the occasion to overcome these weaknesses in the end? Yes. We know Other M went over the top, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater (pun intended). We don't need her to be an emotionless robot because other m made her a bit too emotional.

+Shankovich The opening level in the Space Pirate ship in MP1 is probably my favorite level in any video game ever.

+Shankovich I agree with Prime being one of the best trilogies ever.

+Shankovich retro is doing a new IP

+Shankovich Let's hope the do understand and don't give us Metroid Mini Golf or some stupid crap like that instead.

The opening escape from the space colony on Super Metroid is forever my favorite. But that one was a fantastic introduction into the 3D Metroid world.

+ξχλlτ Josн Yeah, its called Smash Bros

+Rych3rInLyf3 something tells me you don't know what cinematic means.

+ξχλlτ Josн I always thought it would be amazing if Nintendo announced a cinematic universe, like MCU and DCU, with a Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon movie etc. and then bring them all together in a Smash Bros. movie!

+ξχλlτ Josн A "cinematic universe" implies all the characters are in said universe. I know you just mean decent flicks like Marvel has accomplished, but I prefer to keep the franchise universes separate, as much as I love Smash Bros.

+ξχλlτ Josн I have literally been saying this since the MCU was announced.

All i hope is , Rainfall release a new Short Movie!!! Mindblowing!! maybe even more than another MP4 teaser!

Here I am xD Yeah, this is still leagues better. The enviroments, the atmoshpere, the music, how samus moves around. It dives full into the original material that inspired metroid (alien) and add 2001 a space odyssey vibes to it. The direction and photography are great. My only problem is with the actress, I think she has too much make up on and always seems too disconcerted. But this short is still AMAZING, nonetheless

+Domtendo Aber sowas von :)

Und das obwohl du noch kein Metroid gespielt hast :D ist aber wirklich u glaublich!

also ich bin wegen d4rky hier xD

+Yannick Tube Me too

sechster kommi unter Domi's xD

I kind of agree with this. That was the only thing that bothered me with this film. Obviously no one is a complete 100% badass with no feelings, but they made her feel like she was unsure of how to handle herself. A very minor complaint though.

+Gehab I know

+Steve Hooper I blame Metroid: Other M

+Steve Hooper I completely agree. Samus is a HIGHLY trained bad ass bounty hunter who doesn't take shit from anyone. Think Wonder Woman with an Iron Man suit. I'm so tired of people making her weak and bumbly.

+Steve Hooper Very much agree with this. Also, the Samus I have in my mind wouldn't need her ship to help her with the pirates.

I think that was the intention, isn't Samus suppose to have Chozo DNA ? I kind of saw that with chobot, a Suttle alien like quality.

+Senior Adrian I think "Alien" came out in 1979 or 1980.

+Nick Duel Yes im corecting that right now. It was 79

+Senior Adrian Eh, I never figured Samus to be much of a facial expression girl anyways. Always figured her to be much more stoic.

+Senior Adrian The actor needs to act like a robot to fit into the role of playing Metroid the robot.

@Wango Bango the entire series does have a story and makes sense this short made plenty of sense besides her constantly showing emotions wdym?

@Wango Bango you don't know Samus or the chozo, AND BLUE phazon so why would you get it.......

Lol Wango Bango must have felt so embarrassed

I'd watch this on there, gang...

So they can ruin it and make it woke? no thanks

+Blimey Cow WOAH BLIMEY COW :D

Didn't know you were a Metroid fan Blimey.

True

Wouldnt be metroid otherwise 😂

But apparently you can have Metroid without any Metroids :/

xTheToolx yep

No

exactly, shes seen everything being a space bounty hunter trained for decades and all. you would think she would be ready for anything. knowing all and being prepared totally to kick ass. the predator not the prey.

yeah, I'm with ya, , maybe she didn't know about Samus and how she is.

To be fair she would have been acting based on a script. It's not her fault that they have given her poor direction. 12/10 for effort though.

No that's not that, the copyright

Totally agree! There should have been a full Meteoid movie, or mini series starring her! She's breath-taking!

It would probably pull as much attention as those live action Halo trailers. Probably more so when people realize its a Nintendo game.

+Malicious Hero I imagined mailing a "true gamer" who thinks that big N's stuff is for babies a copy of the Manga based on this game, and a note.

+Andres Acosta The Metroid Manga isn't really anything to be proud of. It spawned Other M, after all.If you want someone to take Metroid seriously, tell them to play Super and the Prime games.

Loren Hill Well, at least when I learned Samus' backstory, it gave me a bit of a Harry Potter vibe, because of how dark it was, and Samus is basically Harry, and Ridley is basically Voldemort...nevermind. Also, I kinda feel like the Prime trilogy is a bit overrated. Not bad, just overrated. Kinda like how I think Chamber of Secrets was the best HP, not Prisoner of Azkaban.

Jessica Chobot did a very good job at showing Samus, if you're a true fan and you played Metroid Fusion and the Metroid Prime Trilogy, you would see that despite Samus being tough as hell, she is sometimes scared and uncertain, which is normal....if u were alone on a hostile planet and having the full brigade of Space Pirates against you I think you would feel the same.

@@lajeandom Apparently for many Samus showing some fear before heroically collecting herself and taking action is far too much weakness. It's ridiculous. They want a robot.

No, she's suffered some of the most traumatic, horrid things since she was literally a Toddler. Getting shot at, loud noises, and grunting with uncertainty are NOT things that she would do by the time she was fighting space pirates in her full power armor. Other M was a tragedy. And internal monologue about " Hrm. I should be careful. And I like to reflect on the past sometimes" does not equal the level of inexperienced fear that was portrayed here. She's literally an amalgam of alien DNA, been through not only the harshest environments but also fought some of the deadliest creatures in the galaxy.......But sure. Let's just be okay with her getting scared of a door closing.

@@FateOfNines she like turned around fast in a ready response. y'all actually want a robot.

I totally agree. We think of Samus as some kind of superhuman and we forget that the suit is what gives her power. She goes into unknown situations and no one sees the person or the emotions she goes through because of the armor and weapons. Also we tend to put our own selves into video game characteristics to invest more to the game.

+TrueMG To be honest, Samus was a little bit off. She was just not badass enough for a well trained bounty hunter. That is only one thing tough, overall this was indeed fantastic.

+Kloetee The actress was too soft spoken. When I think samus I think Angelina in tomb raider.

+Zinthaniel I don't. I like having Samus with some emotion - It shows off her human side

+Zinthaniel The only thing that tied the actress to Samus was the cheap wig they put on her. I LOVED the film, but Samus is a space bounty hunter that has gone through SOOO much! This actress doesn't project any of that. I do agree with +Jeb Eldridge about the whole emotion thing, but when I think of samus this actress just doesn't cut it.

+meeko94 Yeah, well obviously they picked her for her looks over her acting. She really does look like Samus... perhaps a bit of better directing and she could better portray Samus.

He was too big to render.

play the games

@@CarlosAlbertoAndres OK! Will have to do that.

​@@davidvaughn7752 here is a suggestion for you in order to play them in chronological order: 1. Metroid Zero Mission 2. AM2R (Another Metroid II Remake) 3. Super Metroid 4. Metroid Fusion 5. Then you can take the Prime Trilogy as it happens in between Metroid 1 and 2 or you can play them in any order you want :) All the games can be played via emulators on your computer, except Prime 3 which uses the Wii Remote technology. Ok there you go!

@@CarlosAlbertoAndres : Thank you Carlos!

+The Gaming Goose Welcome to the Metroid Franchise? Especially in the Prime games, you can easily experience 30-45 minutes of very little happening while you figure out what's going on in order to get to the next action sequence.

It's a lot in the money department with special effects costs

Andre Berry Doesn't make it less boring.

+The Gaming Goose Like nothing happened lol Honestly I was disappointed with this, then again I shouldnt have any expectations to begin with. But no one here would disagree, it could have been much better.

+The Gaming Goose I see it more as a conceptual moving mood board for how the tone of a film might look.

I also pictured samus as more of a serious and collected person than what was portrayed here.

I agree completely. Very well put.

Samus does suffer from anxiety and ptsd . Its not usually seem due to her being a silent protagonist. Metriod Zero mission showed this where she loses her abilities to summon her suit. Metriod other M also showed this when ridley is fought.

+Knightofjustice I always felt like she was calm in Zero Mission, and resorted to stealth due to her major decrease in capabilities. She could still kick major ass, but stealth would be more precautious when you're lacking a power suit. Other M is...I don't know. I want to say it's non-canon but Nintendo has yet to say otherwise despite all the hate towards Samus being almost completely vulnerable and weak character-wise. Then again, go figure it's Team Ninja.

I'm with you. Love the gritty visuals. The world she inhabits is exactly as I would imagine it. I agree that Samus is a little too "doe eyed" for my taste here. I'll give them the benefit at this stage though. Maybe this is still the beginning of her origin story. Maybe she hasn't been through enough trial to develop the confident strut of a seasoned warrior. I actually thought that the portrayal of the Chozo as a recorded image of Samus was much more the attitude I would expect from the Samus Aran in my mind. Stoic and Direct. Still, Great work! Enjoyed it so much!

+Luis Madrid I didn't create the character or her personality, I'm just backing it up. This is more like Metroid: Other M Samus, and it's one of the main reasons that people disliked that game. Sure, she gets scared, but she's supposed to hide it well like any quintessential badass should. When the Star Wars prequels fleshed out and revealed the life stories of Darth Vader and Boba Fett, it actually weakened the characters in most people's eyes. Sometimes, you just want a mysterious badass to remain a mysterious badass. In the world of Metroid, Samus is well known and feared across the galaxy for a reason. You don't create that kind of reputation by showing fear, you've got to hide it and make others believe that you don't feel it. Too many times in this, both her face and body language read "I'm scared! I'm fucked! Someone please save me!" This may be a more realistic version of Samus, but sometimes (often, actually) reality ruins the fun. Look what happened when they tried to make the Mario Bros. and Street Fighter movies more realistic. How realistic do we really have to make something that involves a chick who fights space pirates in a mechanical suit that can transform into a ball and roll around? People should be cheering when Samus rolls in, knowing she's about to fuck some shit up. They shouldn't be wondering if she might break down crying instead. She's not awesome because we relate to her, she's awesome because we want to BE her.

+Luis Madrid There is a difference between a professional exercising caution and gasping like a schoolgirl watching a soap opera every time something happens.

+synical13 I think this had a perfect amount of emotion. It had Samus being shocked at an unknown situation without completely shutting down or being paralyzed with fear. This isn't Metroid Other M. Its more Prime 2 when Samus' gear gets stolen by the Ing or most scenes in Fusion. I do wish there was more footage outside of the helmet but Samus appearing to just somehow always be one with the environment doesn't make sense for the character based off her history.

+synical13 Samus is always unsure and scared. That is who she is. She hides it, but it comes out with her PTSD when she sees Ridley for the first time since she was little. She isn't a cold emotionless robot.

Listen everyone, this just isn't the interpretation of Samus that I prefer. As soon as someone finds a way to show this side of her without making it lame, then perhaps I'll change my mind. The suit equals confidence, and she should only be worried when it fails or she doesn't have it, like in Zero Mission. I'm not saying she's a cold emotionless robot, but when she's wearing the suit, she sure looks like one, and she should act like it. If there was a police standoff and one of the cops threw down his gun and ran away crying like a wimp, would you want to delve into his backstory? Would you care to know what led him to such cowardice? Personally, I say fire him and get someone in there who can do a dangerous job without wetting themselves. If PTSD is the excuse, then fine, but I don't like it, I don't care, and I'm not buying it. This version of Samus would have never even passed the psychological exam. Brody Reyno, you say that Samus is ALWAYS unsure and scared? That's WHO she IS? Well then, she certainly picked the wrong career, didn't she? Who would hire the most unqualified person for any job, let alone galactic bounty hunting? Don't you think that's pretty damn silly? Just because some asshole came along and decided to change her character doesn't mean you have to accept it. If you simply prefer this version, then fine, enjoy, but I certainly don't. I think it's important for everyone to civilly (more or less) express their dislike of something in hopes to change it. I'm not trying to be insulting, I just said what I didn't like about it and why. If I had known what part of the Metroid-verse this video related to before I watched it, I wouldn't have had a right to complain, but the title and description gave me nothing to go on. EDIT: Wow, I sure did say "then fine" a lot, didn't I? No, I don't know what's wrong with me either. I might need more confidence, perhaps a suit would help.......Yes, I mean the Zero suit.......Yes, I'm a guy...SHUT UP!

"subtle"

I had always imagined her to be more like xena warrior princess my self. it's kinda sad that the 11 or so minutes of this video is better than all of other m. some day nintendo will kno what we want in a metroid game

Samus rides around in a ship that looks like her helmet. I think she has a sense of humor.

Both her ship and her suit were designed by the Chozo, she had nothing to do with that fact.

Apple Woods Well that's uninspiring. It should start with the suit and go from there. If everything is the Chozo then you only take away from Samus. Sakamoto is off of Metroid for a reason. Many did not like the direction he went with the series.

Yeah its canonical that Samus doesn't do make-up. Mentioned in zeromission, other M *shudder* and the mangas that Samus gives elss than no fucks about make-up. She even lambasts a federation agent for lipstick and foundation saying "space pirates and metronidazole don't care how good you look.

I think the only makeup that Samus wears is Eyeliner, I think it shows quite a bit Of course it could be nothing more than the design of the eyes and that she does not really wear any makeup

Pretty sure an advanced alien space suit would mange to keep her body temperatures at normal levels to keep her from over heating, and wicks away her sweat

+Cody Boutilier Agreed! Though it upset me a bit when she actually used her missiles. She only had 4 and Didn't use the seeker multishot DX

+InfamousCrimes No, it just makes everything else look equally shit

+Heroman It helps. A version without the filter may not be the version you'd enjoy. Just look at any recent (indy, free) 3D anime, and you'll see money is what all of these projects need to satisfy your tastes.

+Chris Charlton I don't believe it does help. Right now it is much more distracting than any bad CGI (almost as distracting as the Shockwave stock effects they used from Video Copilot several times in the video, which I didn't mention before). And I don't know if my calling it "film grain" was technically right, it looks like they cranked the sharpen filter way up in Premiere.

+Heroman no need to be technically right when you're just commenting on a video that's free on RU-vid. We both love the Internet. It sounds like we both love movies. And I know we both like video games because we're watching Metroid. If we saw a movie together, then we probably enjoy debating if the opening credits were worth the rest of the film. ;) I like the grain effect because it's a differentiator. Style is more important than being accurate when it comes to fiction film.

+Chris Charlton True, and maybe I'm being too harshly opinionated. Didn't stop me from liking it and adding it to my favorites :)

yeah that annoyed me

Yeah, but Samus is human and we humans have emotions. This was just fine.

+Ominous Cap I get you she is humen but a hunter like her they could have made scared at something big ...it was an amazing work anyway

+PALA Fox Exactly my toughts. Samus is a badass hunter. Never afraid. Hell she's didn't bat and eye when she fused with her suit in Fusion.

+Ominous Cap yes human, but if you played Metroid's Saga, you must know, she is like rambo XD.

Samus is an explorer. Explorers need to always be cautious. She wasn't afraid. Just cautious.

In the games she wasn't an explorer, she was sent to take care of the Metroid by the Galaxy Federal Police. The look on her face is not one of being cautious either.

Cosmicwolf And in order to find the Metroids she had to explore. And yes. That can be called a face of caution. Look at her reactions in the games. Her body reacts as she does in this short film.

Samus isn't an Explorer, she's a Bounty Hunter, big nuance there :)

Julien NTUMBA A bounty hunter that explores. The titles can be used interchangeably.

No one can say it better than you.

Dude, movie studios on a million trillion dollar budget spend 1-3 years making a movie. This is low budget, but has a great story line and looks great, this must have taken years at least. Cut them a bit of slack. They may develop a sequel yet.

@@Callumari13 question is how can it be made in the world of covid-19?

after all, she is still a human, with all

Technically only half human (maybe less post-Fusion), and a highly experienced, highly trained bounty hunter with several decades of training.

but a human after all, even the better and harder have bad times, you see what she pass

Valid point Sir

Except (outside of Other M), we never seen a real moment with helmet-less Samus. Humans tend to be afraid. It isn't bad. It reminds us that we're alive and that we need to be careful.

+Swagbito Uchiha She doesn't move the way one would expect samus to move. Samus is a battle hardened warrior who has been through so much it'd be easier to make a list of what she *hasn't* seen. In this film, its almost like this is the first time she's even put on the suit.

+Swagbito Uchiha An example... when the space ship first comes in, i feel samus wouldnt wait to be blasted by those space pirates.... she would be charging a charge shot... also a bit too much facial expression. Samus is more calm than this film portrayed her

(not to mention she has like, 50 missiles on hand at any given time anyway. She ran out after like... 2.)

+TheGoggleguy Maybe they were super missiles.

Could be, but those are still only 5 missiles each. Judging by her ship design and armor design i'd suppose this is around other M era.

+FragileMediaNKY Agreed. For an experienced bounty hunter, she seems very fragile and and acts like an amateur.

samus never acted like badass in real metroid stories either.

+ShadowFalconPictures Have you played metroid? Not other m. any other one. The plot of the original metroid went something like this: Oh hey look, the headquarters of a faction that is waging war against the strongest military force in the known universe. I think I'll go there by myself, kill all of the leaders, destroy the bio-weapons they are developing and blow the most important part of the base off the surface of the planet. After that I will strip down on the surface of a highly dangerous planet, wave at the camera, and fly off into the sunset.

Your mind is clearly closed. This conversion is over.

+Supa creator ok but let me say this to you first. just go check out the most badass male super Heroes, anime characters and video game characters. because as you can see most badass male characters are wearing a skin thight jump suits, regular clothes and some of them are half naked.

then Ridley shows up. Samus may be one of the toughest of badasses ever produced by Nintendo, but even she has times when she's afraid.

Agreed.

YES! Thank you!

Did you even play the games?

Isn't this supposed to be the 1st encounter? So wouldn't have to work her up to the warrior goddess with nerves of steel? Even Ripley from Aliens had a 1st time. I feel this was absolutely fantastic.

+WiiManElite Other M and her reactions with Ridley made sense, though. Ridley was finally dead, in her mind. The creature who she saw kill her family was finally destroyed and yet, here it was, right in front of her. ...resurrected by the very same people who she had worked with for a long time. Add to that the links into her younger life and the emotions that she'd have dragged up by those memories and seeing her father figure for the first time in a long time and...well...her reactions make sense. She was still bad-ass in Other M...still stoic and strong at the right times and you still felt like a powerful hero when playing her.

+nintendoluigi I defend Other M because I really liked the gameplay over prime. And at the time I first played it, I loved the story for the whole whodunnit thing. The sexist crap though, 100% bullshit, agreed. And it wasn't as objectively good as the prime series, no.

+nintendoluigi Other M is an official game made by people who have full rights to do whatever they want to do with their characters and franchise. If Sakamoto says Samus should cry then it's because that was her personality from the very beginning.

I also think this short film did a good job representing the TRUE personality of Samus, she's a sensible woman but also strong.

+KefkeWren The courageous experience fear, they just handle it differently. Rather than getting the hell out of dodge she accepted the invitation. Pretty ballsy imo. I mean, Ballsy still applies to heroines... their balls are just located a bit higher, and they're much bigger.

TRUE!

Noah DC nice

Noah DC hell yeah

prime 2 and fusion...

That's not what Metroid is about, It's an exploration game with FPS and platformer aspects

Which is what makes it such a great game. Much like Resident Evil, they make completely different games depending on what their fans want. Some fans wanted a shooter, some wanted the exploration type. Thus they made both.

+ShadowFalconPictures Careful with that edge.

+MrKalebur and what a heck does halo have To do with this discustion? Halo and Metroid are two totally differend video game franchises. Halo is a fps scifi franchise and Metroid is a scifi adventure franchise. saying that halo and Metroid are similar franchises is just like saying that star wars and Alien are franchises are similars because theyre both in scifi cenre.

+ShadowFalconPictures wtf are you on about? What's the most compared characters when it comes to a mysterious person in a power suit that can shoot lasers and both are involved in a sci world? Samus and master chief. So this guy came by and call Samus a pussy and usually when someone says that, they are a halo die hard fan. It was a joke. I'm not comparing the franchises in anyway

+Bloodycarcass someone obviously doesn't know the old fights that took place saying if Samus or master chief was better. Besides it was a joke but you don't understand it so don't get so butt hurt over it

***** Boba Fett and Samus,. Master chief and Ravec NOT Samus and Master chief.

MeanMrMustard1 Word!

Yep. In my head shes always sounded like jennifer hale
