Cool story, Sammy.

Been meaning to do some fanart for the metroid prime 3 hunters! I have the headcanon that samus isn't all that much of a lone wolf as the federation tends to think...but rather prefers the company of fellow bounty hunters.

[sepublic]

I like to think of another universe, maybe a future in our own, where Metroid gets an animated series adapting the game arcs, while having episodic stories both between and even as a part of said arcs. And some of those episodes are about Samus individually meeting fellow hunters Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda; With these stories culminating in all four teaming up together for a challenging mission that they barely succeed in. Cue the four celebrating together, becoming good friends as Samus gets some actual happiness and new connections.

So while most of the fandom, the newcomers, are posting fluff and fanart and HCs, veterans who know what happens next are just spamming memes like:

Metroid spinoff idea, RTS focusing on Caster Dane

In my head I’m imagining a real time strategy game like halo wars focusing on caster Dane as you command federation troops, vehicles, etc in a prolonged conflict with the space pirates over a planet they’re trying to conquer. While also being able to send in bounty hunters like spire or noxus as special units, or if it’s set before prime 3 maybe rundas, gorr, and gandrayda. Or even introduce new bounty hunters to expand the world further.

Meanwhile the chief rival to Dane in command of the pirate forces would be weavel. Perhaps getting some help from trace or kanden

I have no idea how this would work and it probably only appeals to me specifically so I highly doubt Nintendo would ever do it, but what do y’all think? Deep down I think really I just want a game that expands a bunch on the GF and the space pirates and their abilities and tactics.

Metroid Twitter Edits: Mixed Nuts Edition

Featuring various minor characters (and young Samus). Also Dane is verified now bc he really should be.

Girlfrenemies?

(I think you’re handsome, Ghor, and that’s what matters.)

Maybe too soon? This was almost Madeline Bergman but that felt a bit off for her too.

This went through a couple iterations before I settled on Ian and Samus

found this photo from 2005 in an old drive of the time i built Ghor's armorsuit from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption using LEGO when they let you design customized boxes to your home

it was the most fragile thing in the universe

Here we go with another list! This time it's....

Top 10 Metroid Characters + Honorable mentions

Spoilers ahead, be warned

 

Honororable mentions: Kraid, 6 bounty hunters from Prime Hunters 

Kraid. Fat fuck. Love him. I don't know a lot about him, but he looks cool

The other hunters from Prime Hunters also look cool. Plus, they're each unique with their own things going on. They are all amazing but missed the cut.

10 Gray Voice 

My least favorite of the chozo parents of Samus. I've never read the comics, so I'm going off little info, but he looks cool and helped raise Samus. The chozo are cool in general, so it boosts him up to 10th. Congrats, Gray Voice

9 Quiet Robe

A chozo I actually know about! I love Quiet Robe's story, and I kinda wished he had lived. One of my biggest wants for the metroid series growing up was for Samus to find loving chozo, so I was sad when he died. But! He's still a good character, and he earns his spot on my list

8 Ghor

Very cool character! I love that he's essentially a gentle giant until he gets corrupted. I wonder what could've been if he hadn't. He is an epic robot dude who deserved better... but at least his fight was cool.

7 Old Bird Old grandfather birb! Yes! Love him. Potentially , the only reason he isn't higher is because I don't know much about him. But I love the Grandfather birb

6 Ridley

I hate that he's so low...but the other 5 are just so awesome to me. Well, there's a lot about Ridley I like. He's one of my favorite Nintendo villains for his viciousness and cruelty. He doesn't shy away from murder and that's kind of a suprise for a Nintendo villain. He's ruthless and heartless and the cunning God of death, and he's epic. He's the perfect arch-enemyfor Samus, as she's pretty mature for a Nintendo character, too. I kinda headlining that he looks forward to fighting Samus because he views her as a worthy adversary...obe he'd like to kill, of course,but worthy all the same. Overall, Ridley is a great villain

5 U-Mos 

OK, this is kind of embarrassing. Part of the reason I like him so much is because, as a dumb preteen, I had a self insert where I was from Samus's planet and got adopted by the luminoth instead of the chozo. It was very dumb and very cringe, but it made me really like U-Mos because I made him my OC's adopted father. Even without all that, though, I think he's a solid character who serves his role to help tell an amazing story. Plus... he's the guardian of the defenseless and sleeping luminoth, and I think that's great!

4 Raven Beak

I did not see an evil chozo coming, so he took me by suprise....but that said, it was a good one. I kinda just expected all chozo to be good, but it makes sense that that's not the case. Every sentient species probably has at least one bad apple. I love that he wears armor and his boss fight. Also, it's amazing that he's like Samus's evil adoptive dad. He's great. Love him. I hope he comes back like Ridley keeps doing.

3 Samus

Ugh, it hurts to put her so low. It physically pains me... but it must be done. I remember the day I found out Samus was a girl. I was playing Brawl with my older brother, and she used he final smash. I was taken aback. A girl wearing armor and being badass!? Nowadays, it's silly to think that buy it was mindblowing back then. She's epic and so freaking badass! She's so strong-willed, and I love that she represents strong women so well (Ignoring Other M. It isn't Canon in my mind) I love Samus. she's one of my favorite protagonists in all of gaming for how epic she is.

2 Dark Samus

She's so cool! Side note her theme is my favorite metroid song. From the very moment we see her secret ending in Prime 1 to her last moment inPrime 3, Dark Samus is amazing. She's such a good antagonist who just wants to absorb phazon until Samus pisses her off. I love that it makes sense how she keeps coming back and her fights are my favorite part about Prime 2 and my second favorite part about Prime 3. Absolute icon.

1 Rundas

Ughhhh. I wish so bad that he didn't die! He was so coooool! (Pun not intended) His ice powers were a marvel to watch, and his personality had me at the edge of my seat! I wanted so badly for Samus to save him and her owing him one to be resolved! I wanted so badly for him to help take on Dark Samus with Samus. But that didn't happen. At least his boss fight was cool, and he got some screentime to show me how amazing he was. Some people might not like how high i put him,but Rundas will probably always be my favorite Metroid character.

Tier List time!

C: Kraid, Kanden, Trace, Noxus, Spire, Weavil, Sylux

B: Gray Voice, Quiet Robe, Ghor

A: Old Bird, Ridley, U-Mos, Raven Beak

S: Samus, Dark Samus, Rundas

The Minaret of Jam in western Afghanistan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated in a remote and largely inaccessible location next to the Hari River in the Shahrak District of Ghor Province of Afghanistan. Following the fall of the Republic, the Taliban began waving their flag from it.

Ghor from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is not exactly a robot, but he is a cyborg and only 4% of his organic tissue remains, so I hope the 96% of his mechanical enhancements count to put this clip in one of the robot-themed posts this month.

The staggering rise in malnutrition rates is evidence of the impact that hunger is already having on children under the age of five in Afghanistan. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has seen the rate of admissions at their facilities treating malnutrition across the country increase by as much as 47% this year over the last. MSF's feeding centre in Herat is the only well-equipped malnutrition facility catering not just to Herat, but also to the neighbouring provinces of Ghor and Badghis, where malnutrition rates have gone up by 55% over the last year. Since last year, they've increased the number of beds they have to cope with the number of sick children they're having to admit. But even so, the facility is almost always more than full. Increasingly the children arriving have to be treated for more than one disease.
