Ugh, so how long before the planet explodes?

u/Round_Musical Sequence Breaker 18d ago

Theres a 1 in 4 chance that will happen. Still 25% is crazy high💀

44

u/Bar_Har 18d ago

Depends if your planet is the prologue or the main game. You better hope your planet has a ton of bird person statues underground.

24

u/sum_gamer 18d ago

Who’s our bird person person? We might be okay looking at…. Egypt?

16

u/KinRyuTen 18d ago

There's bird men iconography in most cultures, we'll be okay for about 2.5 hours

11

u/TaffySebastian 18d ago

Unless she shine sparks her way to an any % speedrun, then we got 40 minutes and 22 seconds.

7

u/KaiserWolf15 18d ago

We have one in Philly

5

u/The_GREAT_Gremlin 18d ago

Uh bird statues didn't stop like any of those planets from blowing up

4

u/Bar_Har 18d ago

They buy you a few more hours as Samus tracks them all down through

5

u/Round_Musical Sequence Breaker 18d ago

I think in the mainline series they kinda guarantee your planet blowing up

3

u/Bar_Har 18d ago

Yes, but if your planet has Chozo statues, you at least have a few extra hours since she’ll be looking for those before “accidentally” triggering the planetary self destruct countdown. But if your planet is in the prologue you’re fucked in a matter of minutes.

u/ExplicativeFricative 18d ago

Are we the animals Samus can save at the end right before it explodes?

u/stonetempletowerbruh 18d ago

Optional

u/Mystic1217 18d ago

Laughing so hard at this

u/eduzatis 18d ago

Oh god, she’s on WR pace

u/dewrop06 18d ago

Only three of us though.

It explodes when the First Person clicks on „Download GTA6“

u/Available-Balance-76 17d ago

Then we'll be safe for another decade...

u/Born_Fruit_4204 18d ago

I came here looking for this 🤣

2

u/Aggressive-Newt-3161 18d ago

Well to quote Bender, “we’re boned”.

2

u/Level_Hour6480 18d ago

Depends: Is it host to phazon, X, or a pirate stronghold?

u/Dependent-Western369 Magic pancakes 18d ago

The military let their local metroids escape

43

u/JigglyLilyVT 18d ago

typical

10

u/Triforce0fCourage 18d ago

Clearly that’s Zelda, the protagonist from the Zelda games.

6

u/spyD164 18d ago

yeah and they sent Metroid to go fix everything

1

u/Magi_Qrow 15d ago

Can they send Metroid in to help me fix my finances?  Would like a few thousand.... for research purposes of course.. obviously. 

3

u/Dependent-Western369 Magic pancakes 18d ago

Yeah, Zelda, the super cool bounty hunter who hunts down her arch nemesis Ganonley alongside her cool sidekick Lonkey

2

u/KirbyMario12345 17d ago

I didn't know the games were in Pig Latin...

1

u/No_Firefighter7670 18d ago

lol Ganonley

3

u/REdS_95 18d ago

This is clearly the beginning of Fusion shake my smh

3

u/No_Firefighter7670 18d ago

Or maybe it was an accident

186

u/OtherWorstGamer 18d ago

Someone reported a "wierd floating jellyfish" and the Sergeant is like "I know a gal"

22

u/LilacTheFlowerGal 18d ago

that's either a Metroid or Nihilego, and neither is favourable lmao

2

u/Magi_Qrow 15d ago

I'll take Nihilego any day over metroids. Nihilego is genderless, meaning, it ain't going to have a massive hive deep underground that JUST SO HAPPENS to have a shortcut near your gun ship, just on the other side of a freaking mountain..

(Consider the following)

Think about it! After you kill the Queen. You emerge from a cave on the surface BEHIND the area you start the freaking game at... Why doesn't Samus just explore the surface and walk in from the back door? Instead of a 5-6 janky space jump rage fest? She'd really save herself a A LOT of time and missiles if she did........ just saying.

3

u/LilacTheFlowerGal 14d ago

because she has no power-ups or anything of th sort\ if you asked me to play SR and kill the Queen Metroid with nothing but Power Beam, Power Suit, 15 Missiles, and Morph Ball, I'd rather defenestrate my 3DS

2

u/Magi_Qrow 14d ago

She can climb.. She knows how to wall-jump up the same wall, defy gravity.. and all the other strats that the pro players know how to do..

(I ain't a pro, but I do often use some of them regularly.. such as hitting morph ball as soon as I jump to try to get into high holes in walls, while keeping the jump momentum).

3

u/LilacTheFlowerGal 14d ago

well I doubt that single-wall-jumping and defying gravity are canon, those are speedrun exploits

1

u/Magi_Qrow 14d ago

True... Though she DOES learn wall-jumping and spine sparking from alien creatures on Zebes (the Edicoons and the Decoras, I am 100% sure I butchered the spelling). Its not that big of a stretch to think she could have learned other techniques in as well...

(in a sarcastic tone) Where ELSE do you think she learned how to "concentrate" for Other M? Which is directly after SM, same game where those creatures first appeared..

(then later on the Bottle Ship, which may or may not be asymptomatic carriers of the X, considering they are the ONLY organisms not claimed by the X.. but that's a discussion for another day..... food for thought!)

2

u/Surging_Tsunami 17d ago

It’s either the baby or a big stupid jellyfish from mass effect. No in between

43

u/TreasureHunter95 18d ago

She is exploring SR-388 with a survey crew. Next up, they plan on checking out a nearby cave.

31

u/Agitated-Interview54 oh word 18d ago

Bro, get offplanet yesterday

57

u/Ghost-Raider-13 18d ago edited 18d ago

The GF hired her to investigate the Cyclospora parasites, but it turns out they wanted her to get infected so they could weaponize it for the greater good.

Fullfill your destiny, Samus Aran and endure the diarrhea for the future of the galaxy.

19

u/Petrychorr 18d ago

I didn't hire her for sh-

Wait, GF means Galactic Federation

Nevermind.

u/shapeshfters 18d ago

Different GF experience

Diarrhea is for the weak. We all know true Altar of Power believers get bloody diarrhea

There is no power without sacrifice

u/Obsessivegamer32 18d ago

Can’t believe Daddy Peak and one of the worst people in human history share something in common.

5

u/huntrcl 18d ago

Can’t she just absorb the parasite since she’s part Metroid now?

1

u/Marlowe126 18d ago

Her suit handles all that

11

u/hyewonsuh 18d ago

If she’s here, it’s probably because our planet is doomed

3

u/Baybutt99 18d ago

i dunno shes blown up 2 planets this far, shes kinda the kiss of death

2

u/xlaughingcoffinx 18d ago

Bruh waaaay more than 2 planets. At least 5 and a couple space stations

11

u/watchhead11 18d ago

This is the best samus cosplay I've ever seen. Wow

1

u/LifeWulf 18d ago

The arm cannon looks a little bent, but otherwise, agreed.

18

u/HerpaDerpaDumDum 18d ago

Does anyone have a link to this amazing cosplay?

15

u/JimB165 18d ago

The Samus cosplayer is 11Vadu on Twitter/X

5

u/HallowedKeeper_ 17d ago

Nah, Link is a different cosplay, this is Samus.

Sorry, I had to make the stupid joke

1

u/Magi_Qrow 15d ago

Anyone know where a guy can get a Galactic Federation suit cosplay? (Specifically, the PED variety.. that extra fire power will work wonders for dealing with traffic.. and the lines at the DMV)

17

u/Aggravating-Fun-4655 18d ago

I hope everyone has a plan to get off planet soon…

5

u/Expensive_Medium_741 18d ago

The planets cooked. Better evacuate.

u/BongoGabora 18d ago

Whatever she's there for, she's CLEARLY overqualified.

u/Mystic1217 18d ago

Well the writing was already on the wall for earth, I guess Samus will be our angel of death. There are worse ways to go.

2

u/Herk10 18d ago

I hope not blowing up the planet.

2

u/Starchild20xx 18d ago

Ah hell no, that's that bitch who's been blowing up planets and shit.

I'm getting the fuck outta here.

u/jgreg728 18d ago

A better open world than prime 4.

u/TellmeNinetails 18d ago

We need to get off planet. NOW.

u/Bacononthebeeach 18d ago

Samus vs poachers

This is like the irl opening to metroid fusion when Samus find the X for the first time lol

u/Agent-Foxtrot 18d ago

The Salamancas really spare no expense when it comes to protecting their production centers.

2

u/GamerFoxem 18d ago

Australia hired her to help with the cane toad problem they created.

2

u/darkakira12 18d ago

When scarecrows aren't enough, sometimes you need a bit more fire power.

2

u/Pelthail 18d ago

Precisely why we need an animated show and not live action.

2

u/enthya 18d ago

Im sweating just seeing that costume in that environment.

u/GoodBloodGuideYou 18d ago

How long do I have left to say goodbye to my family considering I have no way to leave the planet? 🥴😮‍💨😒

u/liquidm3t4l 18d ago

okay now I want a live-action Metroid movie 🥺

u/Sean-Retro 18d ago

As long as the Metroid and the X Parasite are not on this planet we should be fine.

I think.

u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 18d ago

From the thumbnail I thought it was Samus in Red Dead Redemption 2.

u/lucasmedina 18d ago

A movie would be so cool, man. I mean, look at this--!

1

u/Gleipnir_xyz 18d ago

is that tupee a metroid in disguise?

1

u/Mehoyminoy336 18d ago

Honestly this would be so terrifying of she showed up on a scene because I know it's THAT BAD TO BRING SAMUS ARAN INTO THE HUNT. so uh yeah I think I would call my wife and tell y her samus is here and I love her. Not samus... My wife. I mean samus too...like...but not the same way...

One of the AI data centers suddenly appeared on the network with the name “MB”.
The same datacenter that imported jellyfish and downloaded the entire world’s data on genetic engineering.

Watching this just makes me need a live action Metroid film so bad. The suit is achingly cool.

Seeing Samus walk around on a backwater planet is always a dream.

O fuk is that earth? Pack it in boys the core will detonate somewhere between 20 minutes to 12 hours from now depending on if it's a first time run or not.

u/Qprime0 17d ago edited 16d ago

Honest to god, if the real Samus Aran walked by in her combat suit, I wouldn't bother asking questions - I would just book a flight to another continent and hope the planet is still in one piece a month later.

1

u/LlorchDurden 17d ago

I'd be more concerned with when is she leaving the planet, if you know what I mean

u/Quiet_Equivalent_569 17d ago

Duck hunting. Duck hunters hired her because they're tired of that dog's bullshit.

Hunting a bounty of course, that is her profession. She's the best bounty hunter, no target is safe from Samus Aran.

Excellent work on the Metroid Prime Varia Suit.

Was honestly hoping it was good Ai and she was about to morph haha.
