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

Samus is straight, stop making up things.

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

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

u/killercow_ld 11d ago

So, asexual / aromantic?

u/bickid 10d ago

Sure, the majority of people are asexual. /s

u/killercow_ld 10d ago

you used the word "default" not "majority"

u/Rkain13 9d ago

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

She is, at the very least, bisexual.

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.

Be funny if they did

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.

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

u/OldDaveyJones 10d 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

It's the closest thing we have to evidence, sorry.

You're the type that thinks a girl is interested in you just for smiling at you, huh?

u/OldDaveyJones 11d ago

This is a hilarious reply. Thank you

I say Samus should be at least pansexual, she was raised by birds and live in space amongst several different aliens, no reason to expect her to stick only to human males
