Yea, and despite the fact I liked it, they could have atleast given Capcom props for stealing Dr. Wily's idea, but the ending did suck.

Riiiight.
Lets see, the metroid plot includes:

1. planet destroying metroids
2. Ridley
3. lava and gravity resistant power suits
4. super powered, phazon sucking Dark Samus(redundant!)
5. SA-X(redundant!)
6. The X virus(redundant#2!)
7. The Ing(also redundant#2!)
8. Mother Brain, a giant humanoid brain in the possession of alien space pirates thats completely unexplained and has been like retconned or something.
9. a DOUBLE dose of genetic enhancement(once by the Chozo, again by the military).
10. Ridley again, because they keep rebuilding him(making Meta Ridley and Ridley X redundant)
11. redundant plots that serve only as basically dues ex machina and that force her to repeatedly lose her suit
12. dimensional travel
13. phazon.

Phazon alone could qualify the show for like, the phazon-possession oriented version of DBZ. I mean think about it:
Goku: *starts powering up to SSJ*
Dark Samus: *starts sucking phazon*
Goku: KA-ME-HA-ME-HA! *fires*
Dark Samus: ... *shields, then shoots her blaster*
Goku: *dead*

But more importantly: How could it get any worse? :P The game was allready at the level of space, what can we threaten thats bigger than planets? Oh right, the universe. Wait, did buu cause any more damage than metroids are capable of? Nope :P.

Bah, does it bother you AT ALL that they keep taking the tiny existing cast, and then replacing them with new cast members that are pretty much the same thing, but slightly different?

Hey look! Metroid Queen, meet the Metroid Prime!

I wouldn't know I don't play metriod games anymore, I just expect someone to flame you for that one. Me personally might just pull an Alex and only play SNES games.

Bah! How bad can the cast of Hunters be? The existing cast consists of look-alikes and remakes! I'd say the hunters of Hunters are a sight bit more original than the existing cast, even if they only tell as much about them as they do now!

Edit: I mean, the only difference between a DBZ villain, and the various villains of the Metroid universe is that the Metroid ones are expendable so people can shoot them. And even then, they either replicate like the Metroids or the X(so your allowed to shoot at them as much as you want), or they get rebuilt/get away.

Edit: They even share the same plot complaints! "DBZ should have ended with the frieza saga", "Metroid should ended without Fusion"

The cast is limited because of the way Metroid is. Metroid doesn't have a strong villain CHARACTER, it has a strong villain FORCE. It's not about Samus vs. Ridley, it's about Samus vs. the Space Pirates. Not about Samus vs. Metroid Prime, it's about Samus vs. Phazon beasts. Etc. etc.

When it comes to strong, recognizable characters, the cast pretty much consists of Samus. Ridley and Mother Brain are common enough as generals for the Space Pirates, and Dark Samus aka Metroid Prime makes a good head for the Phazon forces. But when it comes to villains, Samus isn't really built for singular combat, she's built for Rambo'ing.

Samus's "villains" are expendable because they're ARMIES. You can clear out an entire planet and you still haven't wiped out more than a fraction of them.

Right, but they are expendable armies not because it serves the plot, but it serves the gameplay. Ohnoes, the plot is subservient to the gameplay, just like being subservient to multiplayer gameplay, whatever do we do?! Yup, pretty much the techno version of DBZ :P.

edit: and since when were the phazon forces ORGANIZED? :P

edit2: I honestly don't think your complaint has anything to do with Hunter's plot. I think it has more to do with fear of change. Change is good :D.

Recently started replaying Link to the Past. Just cleared East Palace.

If nothing else, I want to be sure that I got the pendant colors right in my script.

Alright I have been playing FF6 I am in the world of ruin and as I always do I am having problems with the boss in Figaro castle, the four big tenticales when you get Edgar back. How the hell do you beat that thing easily its the only damned boss in the game I have problems with anymore.

As I recall, if you have the chainsaw, it helps quite a bit. That boss IS a pain, though.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
