re: Metroid
What's interesting here is that as these games go on their added adherence to realist narrative casts the previously digestible expressionisms of prior games into weirder and weirder lights until we have to have a controlling ex-boyfriend to explain why Samus loses all her xp and we feel even more confused as to why precisely space station doors use handguns as doorknobs. |
Yeah, if Metroid gets a reboot or whatever any time soon I'm really hoping they keep the essential - woman in capable spacesuit explores ruined alien world, finds things, resists angry flora and fauna - and jettisons pretty much every other 'canon' feature of the IP |
