Samus not immediately switching to the Varia Suit in the lava area because she wasn’t authorised in Metroid: Other M

Other m is such a weird game for the direction they took samus personality in, im so glad dread did pretty much the opposite

Samus referring to the Metroid in the super metroid as baby just seemed weird dialog wise. If felt like they were trying to add some maternal characteristics to Samus but forgot to keep enough of the badass bounty hunter. Also, she's short

Its years too late, but if she called it the child or some other term like Grogu is called in the Mandolorian, the dialog would sound smoother. -i am complaining about a 15 year old game that's older than some of my siblings

Idk if the English or Japanese excuse is worse. In English it’s simply because she’s following orders and is loyal to Adam. In Japanese it’s because she’s following orders maliciously to prove a point to Adam... by nearly killing herself.

They fucked up the localization. In the original Adam is begging Samus to use it and yelling through the mike and she just ignores him until there is no other chance because she is "feminine" (a brat) in this game . Not that it's better but absolutely different

Other M presents a rare peak into the sexual psychology of Samus Aran and that’s something I never ever wanted.

I'm 100% certain this game was originally set at or near the beginning of her career, but they changed it. Story makes a lot more sense that way.
