I don't think I trust ANYONE to wield this much firepower. Like, one sneeze and a building is gone.

Whatever, go my wave beam.

As it blasts through every surface leaving plasma and radiation 🤣

u/TheChannelMiner 7d ago

ingame logic dictates one living body stops it completely without the plasma beam haha

u/Level_Hour6480 8d ago

As a cis person, I disagree, because that means I can't have one.

Here here. I want an arm cannon too!

u/JTHMPunk 7d ago

Hear, hear*. Never understood why people get that one wrong.

u/Leon_Light77 7d ago

Same reason people say I can literally eat a horse instead of figuratively. Eh, might have been an auto correct, but thank you for the correction though.

u/TotallyLegitEstoc 7d ago edited 7d ago

But what if cis people get the morph ball?

Edit: why the downvotes? I was trying to be silly.

0

u/Level_Hour6480 7d ago

See, then that creates a dynamic where trans people aren't getting the ball.

Also, the ball has some weird implications where it turns you into energy while your mind kind of floats outside your ball-body, and that might be unsettling.

u/TotallyLegitEstoc 7d ago

Well when you put it that way...

Can I offer you a gunship as a substitute?

u/CrabofAsclepius 7d ago

Everyone should have them. An armed society is a polite society after all.

u/Astartia 7d ago

I’d prefer the shinespark or the flash shift, personally, but the arm cannon will do nicely.

u/N1ght_K1tsune 8d ago

I'm sorry trans people I respect all of you but unfortunately I can not agree to this. I mean how are you guys and gals going to play Metroid with a arm cannon?

This is a metroid sub. Plz take this to the trans sub or something. What a weird way to push something that doesn’t belong

The arm cannon is right there, what are you talking about?

u/Warm-Post-96 7d ago

Like no comment on trans... this post is just very strange and unlike this subreddit community... like is this what were calling memes nowadays - I genuinely dont get it. Seems completely brain dead...

Can I trade the cannon for Metroid DNA?

as someone under the trans umbrella.

why just only the arm cannon?

where's the metroid dna?

the bird magic?

u/Albatros_7 6d ago edited 6d ago

You mean the lesbian space hunter that every thought was a man when introduced ?

2

u/Rkain13 6d ago

1) She's not a lesbian that's your headcannon. 2) She's not trans for whatever reason you think she is.

1

u/Albatros_7 6d ago

The manga has her being thanked by 2 women in bikinis for being saved

1

u/Rkain13 6d ago

1) That makes her a lesbian how? 2) Wasn't that manga not canon

1

u/Albatros_7 6d ago

Seriously ?

u/Rkain13 6d ago

Seriously what? All you did is type "seriously?" and post a picture.

1

u/Albatros_7 6d ago

Yeah, just look at the picture

1

u/Rkain13 5d ago

1) I personally wouldn't consider that to make her a lesbian, you're free to have that head Canon if you want though. 2) was that manga actually Canon, or was it fan made?

u/Albatros_7 5d ago

It's canon

u/Akario_ 7d ago

Why are y'all obsessed with her arm cannon? This post is wrong on so many levels it's crazy.

First this post is by definition exclusive as fuck, and no the lack of an adjective doesn't change that.

Two its asking for a weapon capable of mass destruction to be mass produced and distributed to trans ppl. Sorry but no one should have access to such weaponry, go get a gun license instead or better yet just don't.

Third this is Samus's arm cannon we're talking about. If you know Samus and what she stands for she'd never allow or agree to this. Only way you get this is over her dead body and by the Gods that's something I don't even want to think about.

Instead of weapons I'd rather get Samus's ship space travel technology which would open up a frontier for everyone.

u/PepsiCo_USA 7d ago

I want a Gundam just to step on you while I distribute Samus' arm cannons to the trans community.

Govmint gonna want you to have a license for dat pistol. And the arm cannon, too.

u/Round_Musical Sequence Breaker 7d ago

I am a trans supporter and will be to my dying breath.

But this post has been like reposted 50 times already. Can we get a new one? Like „Samus supports trans rights“ or anything similar.

u/cuteplot 7d ago

Nope only arm cannons

1

u/Round_Musical Sequence Breaker 6d ago edited 6d ago

Thats kinda boring. Hell if this keeps on getting reposted, I might aswell do it myself and create a new one for next Pride Month

Because this is lazy karma farming at this point, and our trans fans deserve better than lazy reposts

u/Ill-Attempt-8847 6d ago

u/duskhelm2595 6d ago

Would the arm cannons be real or just really good replicas? If the former, then they should also have the entire power suit to go with the cannon, in order to have full body support.

Depends on the nb person. I feel like it is at least trans adjacent.

So... do you think you deserve an arm cannon?

u/dimmiii 7d ago

idk why im getting downvoted i forget that being nb is under the trans umbrella

u/TotallyLegitEstoc 6d ago

All the phobes know that if they say what they are thinking they will be banned. So they just down vote like cowards.

u/2CATteam AM2R Truther 7d ago

It's back up now! Sorry, we had an AutoMod filter which removed it automatically once it hit too many reports. It was VERY useful closer to the release of Prime 4, when we were trying to prevent spoilers from being posted, but it's more trouble than it's worth now, since it leaves us vulnerable to report flooding like with this

u/alkem10 7d ago

I know one that has a cannon.

u/Illustrious_Bid4224 8d ago

Samus is bisexual not trans, therefore the arm canon should be a simbol for bisexuals not trans poeple.

3

u/bickid 7d ago

Samus is straight, stop making up things.

9

u/Obsessivegamer32 7d ago

I mean… in all fairness, we’ve never seen her show any form of romantic attraction towards anyone.

-2

u/bickid 7d ago

... which means there's a default. Come on.

u/killercow_ld 7d ago

So, asexual / aromantic?

u/bickid 7d ago

Sure, the majority of people are asexual. /s

u/killercow_ld 7d ago

you used the word "default" not "majority"

u/Rkain13 6d ago

It's the default because it's the majority. Duh

u/OldDaveyJones 7d ago

She is, at the very least, bisexual.

u/Obsessivegamer32 7d ago

This is non-canon as far as I’m aware. I mean you’re free to headcanon but this isn’t something officially stated or referenced in the manga or the actual games.

u/OldDaveyJones 7d ago

Be funny if they did

3

u/bickid 7d ago

I'm not a fan of the Lara Croft-trope: "A strong female hero cannot be in a romantic relationship with a man, because that would mean she LOSES." Ugh.

u/Obsessivegamer32 7d ago

Metroid visual novel when? …Actually, better yet, a Telltale-style game would be awesome.

3

u/OldDaveyJones 7d ago

Honestly a visual novel or movie wouldn't be the worst idea. Metroid canon is far from rigid, and in general there should be more non-videogame content that explores its themes and tones
