The Metroid Timeline with Metroid Dread! 

Hopefully there will be more timelines including new addition to Kirby next year

It didn't add much story wise. It brought back the x in a sloppy way. It contradicts established canon

thanks for ur work man

@o kraid being rescued from zebes by raven beak, the x being written as surviving by infecting the chozo makes no sense because they could have spread to other planets and already taken over the galaxy. They also could have infected the dead federation soldiers on sr388 . Samus just loses her metroid dna at the end? What's that all about?

@o but why would the x help her?

The real world timeline of Dread is amazing! Watched a video that is now 5 years old about Dread originally hinted at right after Fusion.

Looks like someone is bing playing this game

@@acat3772 mhm, I have been waiting forever for this game, and after 8:30 hours, I finished my first run.

It was amazing sooooo goooood

@@dragonitaslavedon1745 So close! They give you another gallery image if you clear it in under 8 hours. I went for 100% items and, while I got that, I finished in just over 10 hours.

@@donnylurch4207 My 100% run took me 10:30 hours (the original file +2 extra hours of backtracking and all that) I tried to speedrun my way through and managed to get a time of 3:59:48 with 41% items collected, unlocking 3 of the 6 images on the gallery.

I’m only 17, but I’m positive by the time I’m 31 that the E.M.M.I. are still gonna be terrifying

First game i ever got for nes

It does. In Zero Mission, you fight a prototype for Meta Ridley after killing Ridley earlier in the game. Super Metroid, you fight a completed Meta Ridley, having been saved by the space pirates. In Fusion, it's Ridley's corpse being infected by the X Parasite.

That’s blatantly false, it is explained. Ridley was heavily injured in Zero Mission, the pirates collected his living remains and cybernetically rebuild his limbs, wings and other parts. He now was referred to as Meta Ridley, when he was beaten in Prime, it took some time for him to recover and he came back as Meta Ridley in Prime 3. due to his Phazon infection he was able to regenerate many parts of his original Body. This Phazon Variant was called Omega Ridley. After Samus beat Omega Ridley he began regenerating massive portions of his body and began shedding his cybernetics off. He got the title Proteus Ridley for being able to cheat death many times. After he was sufficiently regenerated, he went to SR388 to steal a Metroid, fought Samus again and lost his consciousness. During his stay on SR388 he fully shed his metallic implants and was now fully organic again. Shortly thereafter with full strength he attacked Ceres research station, stole the Baby Metroid and went to Zebes. On Zebes he fought Samus one last time and finally died there. He basically fell apart. However when he died small parts of his DNA got on Samus suit After Zebes exploded, scientists scrubbed Samus suit and stole the DNA on it. With it they cloned many upon many lifeforms from Zebes that Samus has killed there, including something known as little Birdie As it turns out little Birdie is ridleys species and it swiftly turned into a Ridley. It doesn’t have the memories nor the intelligence of Ridley, but is a clone of him. The clone was killed by a queen Metroid leaving an empty husk, that husk was transported to the BSL research station where it has been kept in cold storage. An X copied its DNA. In sector 1 Samus faced the X clone of Ridleys clone called Neo Ridley. After it’s death no remnants of Ridley remained. So in conclusion he being able to come back again and again is explained. The original Ridley died in Super Metroid, got cloned by scientists who extracted his DNA from Samua suit died and infected by X. The one who we really don’t know how tf he returned is Kraid in Dread. He lacks any explanation aside from maybe Mawkin abducting a small Kraid, which is impossible given that the Mawkin where all infected with X and quarantined by Raven Beak

Imagine vr a new generation of metroid game with all battles and running while 1st person view lol

@@flourentzosgeorgiou7552 turning into a morphball would be terrifying...

I don’t know what your talking about meteoids are gone yup totally ;) although to be more serious I’m pretty sure the meteoids went extinct in the wild with Metroid 2 and were in captive with Metroid 3 Super Metroid and Metroid 4 Metroid Fusion

You forgot that Ridley never stays dead

...YES well step grandfather as or... no wait his dna was fused with samus huh... or was it different chozo Edit: raven beak and grey beak are both grand dads of a metroid :)

@@yourallygod8261 Two chozos. Raven beak and another from a different chozo clan. That's inside the dread game

@@gabriellourenco2393 thank

THE BABY (que dramatic Other M flashback/monologue)

@Austin Rocha oh fudge i forgot so much its been so looong

Federation Force is such a chore to play. It should had been a more Hunters-ish

Metroid prime power rangers edition

The main cool thing I take from it is it gives more lore on how the Federation works, how their forces are organized, how their combat units function, and general outside perspectives on Samus and the hellish missions she clears with little fanfare.

Kraid the hut: I will not give up my favourite decoration. *While looking at a statue of Samus* I like Captain Aran just where she is.

Eh, kind of a surface level similarity. In terms of the darth vader comparison, they are both a big powerful foe that the protagonist looses to at first before later beating later, but that's just a basic storytelling trope. The more obvious comparison, raven beak being samuses "dad", has very little effect on samus, in comparison to how luke has his entire idea of himself shaken up, as the purpose of the reveal is more there for the sake of raven beaks character (him trying to act as if there is some familial relationship between him and samus and that he is responsible for her becoming what she is, when in reality he did nothing but give her a bit of his dna and by all accounts forgot about her till she was useful to him) than samuses. All it really does to samus is just make her even more fucking pissed off at him. I'm seeing even less for the emperor comparison, super powerful guy who wants to rule the world and/ or galaxy is a common sci fi trope and beyond that I got nothing.

That pretty much it. They said it’s the final game in the “Metroid” saga. But there will be more adventures with Samus. I think we won’t see any more X-parasites though. There’s still the thing with his rival taking a metroid though and if I remember correctly, the producer said Samus and Xylex have some type of connection. My guess??? Adam’s younger brother and Samus best friend. Too early to tell though. I love this series

It's the final game in this 5 game series. BUT we still have the Prime series which I'm still waiting for news about Prime 4 ;-;

That's exactly what Sakamoto had said. It's the end of a saga, but not the end of the series.

could be that they basically break the metroid prime "triology" with 4 because 4 will play far later maybe even after dread if metroid prime 1,2,3 played before super metroid .

Metroid/Zero Mission, Metroid II/Samus Returns, Super Metroid, Metroid Other M(yeah, I know, don't get mad at me), Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread all make up the Metroid Saga. Sakomoto said that the Metroid Saga was complete, but there will be more Metroid games in the future. The Prime Trilogy falls between Metroid/Zero Mission and Metroid II/Samus Returns, and while Prime 1 is closely tied to the Metroid Saga, the 3 games have a story focused predominantly on Phazon. Possibly 4 will continue this arc(despite Corruption wrapping it up a bit) and we'll see more on it and it'll be it's own Phazon Saga by the time it ends.

The racially ambiguous 😂

And bonded to an x?

Yeah your forgot the X and phazon. So technically 1/6 of all of them

@@johnny-mnemonic13 It's more like she "eats" X being a metroid and all, so it's definetly no for them. As for phazon... I'm not that versed in the Primes but didn't she completely get rid of it in her at the end? As far as I remember there is no more phazon with Phaaze destroyed so it also goes for the amount that was in her.

@@skyray16 yeah once planet phaaze and dark samus dissappeared all phazon in the galaxy went with it. Other wise fusion would've been an absolute cakewalk for her lol

before metriod, we had no idea that ZDR existed. The Metriod Universe is vast and filled with untouched potential. I don't think the Chozo are gone forever

The X lived We know it possessed chozo warriors and was left alone in a base full of space ships It escaped and now Samus has to deal with the Chozo race resurrected as evil X

@@insomniacowl5392 Only the Mawkin and Thoha tribes had contact with the X, and are presumably all extinct. There may be other Chozo tribes living on different planets.

@@insomniacowl5392 It is a possibility but I wouldn't hold by breath on that. From Sakamoto's comments on how Dread is the ending of the Metroid Saga (with Metroids being heavily connected to the X) I don't think we'll see the X after Dread but I could be wrong.

It wouldn't be 6 since 5 was the end of this story. The next game would be starting a new narrative... The federation isn't exactly on good terms with Samus and they were breading metroids for warfare... Samus is now the last Metroid

Prime 2 was my first Metroid as well! Super scary at the time, but fun. Never beat it until I got older though

If you haven't yet you definitely need to play super metroid for snes

I'm against a full retcon, the localization of that game really hurt the feel of the game and characters. A remake would work pretty well imo, just change some dialog, remove most of the monologues, update the controls, rebalance a few things(like healing and getting ammo from killing enemies instead pointing the remote up). The one cutscene that they'd need to scrap to make the writing work would be the one in which Adam's brother dies and replace it with one where young Samus actually has some agency and screws up which results in that death which would better explain both her and Adam's behavior towards each other. Also if they didn't forget about the assassin plot thread that'd be nice.

Not with the Japanese script

Imo since she is without question considered a threat to the galaxy after the events of dread, also since she already turned against the federation in fusion, and with the federation becoming more shady with every story. I think her next arc will be her combating the federation. That seems like the next natural step in her story. Imagine the federation hiring other hunters to try and stop her. I think that would be a wonderful story to tell. They could even try to use the emmi on her. They already tried to clone metroids once before. Samus is their only source to continue their questionable experiments.

@@ReneeSitra Don't forget, Raven beak had the capability to clone Samus, fragments of left over research could be used by the federation to create a (Metroid/x- infused) cloned Samus to hunt her down.

Unless Nintendo back-pedaled the prime games are a different continuity and not in the same timeline as the 2d games... But that's back when other m came out don't know what Nintendo says now

That was a misconception. The Prime games are canon, but they’re a “nestled” canon that no 2D Metroids take place in-between, which gave Retro free reign to do what they wanted with the story in a way that wouldn’t force influence on the series main timeline (Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super, Fusion, Dread). Because otherwise it could lead to retcons of games that already came out and…yeah. So they’re not decanonized, they’re just self-contained for simplicity sake

@@emblemblade9245 Since the metroids still exist it must be before Metroid 2 and Meta Ridley places it after Metroid 1 so it's still stuck in a specific point in time

You've missed out on alot then

It wasn't so long ago that people that young were literally going wild in world wars. Samus joined the Federation military sometime around the age of fifteen to seventeen. We had real soldiers who were at that age in both world wars. Audie Murphy was sixteen when he tried to enlist, and seventeen when he was accepted into the U.S. Army thanks to a faked birth certificate.

X2

It very well could. I personally think it'll stay right after prime 3, just because of it's end cut scene which seemed to lead to a sequel. But maybe they scraped that and decided to put it after dread, which is why they had to restart? Idk lots to theorize on

@@aaronnichols4120 like Samus knows she's a Metroid now and she's possibly a threat to the whole galaxy the galactic federation will be the new enemies to her so she needs to find a way to eliminate the Metroid inside her so she probably has to find a way to bring the metroids back one way or the other and whoever that bounty Hunter is that's after her if you 100% Metroid prime 3 corruption why is this mysterious bounty Hunter after her and how does he / she ties to everything.

More likely after Prime 3 and Federation Force due to the two post credits teases of Sylux in those games.

@@commonwealthrealm I don't think there's a time where MP4 could take place after MP3. When you look at the timeline, every other event is happening one after the other. Likely chance it will happen after Metroid Dread since they did this with Metroid Prime having connections to ZM and MP3 with SR and yes Dread. Chances are THAT Sylux cutscene happened within the starting events of Super Metroid.

@@noahdean9685 I doubt the Federation would try to do that but they would try to use her as their most valuable weapon considering Metroids only weakness cold Samus is immune to. Besides i don't think Samus would tell them about the DNA actually activating turning her full Metroid for a bit otherwise they would try to eliminate her or try and do what Raven Break tried making a clone Army of the most powerful Metroid Samus. Likely she is just going to report that she eliminated the threat of the X otherwise as you say the Federation would try to wipe her out as they gave her the AI Adam to try and control her considering she was most loyal to the real one but that did not work

To be fair, the scans don't confirm how much time takes place between log entries. The first few mentioning the destruction of their base could have been mere days or hours after they fled Zebes, with the final logs before they all died being much more recent, perhaps just before or after the distress signal was sent out.

Yes and yes. The explanations given here were so brief and not detailed enough.

@@johnny-mnemonic13 Okay thanks. Because I played through it and because of my own lack of confidence, I had to turn it into a question. I was actually gonna say it as if I knew, because I do know lmao

I noticed that, almost got me confused.

Wanted to avoid spoilers before Dread. That was the dilemma we faced when making this video. There is an entire Chozo backstory section that had been recorded but we couldn´t put in due to Dread spoilers. Guess we will save it for until Metroid Prime 4 is out.
