something i love about dread is that the more i play it the more it becomes apparent that Raven Beak NEEDS her validation. he pulls out all the stops (calls her "daughter", tells her it's her destiny to pave the way for his rule) but in the end samus is literally just doing her thing while RB's entire plan precariously hinges on her. really highlights how much of an egomaniac he is as well to be so 100% convinced that This is her purpose

#more yapping. hi #it's almost like the exact opposite of Other M in this regard. in terms of who needs validation from whom at least #other m’s story HEAVILY emphasized Samus’ need for validation from her father figure in that game #and dread took that and went okay. what if it was the opposite this time. what if her father figure is the one desperate for #her acknowledgment #and then she screamed at him and blew him up and sucked his life out of his face and it ruled. thank you dread #i love how he tells her it's her destiny to confront him. like in this moment she is EVERYTHING to him #but we have no idea whether *samus* believes it's her destiny #and like. we don't have confirmation that samus buys into any of his manipulation even before the reveal. it's very likely she doesn't #and i think the choice to have her stay silent really helps the story in this regard #dread even drives home the Adam/Raven Beak connection in having RB impersonate Adam. like intentional or not I am DEEPLY reading into it #anywayyy. thank you dread for dunking other m in the trash very nice very good #talkin #metroid dread
