This example contradicts itself. If most fans agree that it's part of the canon, then why is there a big disagreement about whether it's the same continuity or an Alternate Continuity? Isn't being in the same continuity what "part of the canon" entails? Therefore, I rewrote it, since I think this is more along the lines of what you were trying to say.


* BrokenBase: While ''Samus And Joey'' is generally accepted as an enjoyable spinoff by fans, what's contentious is whether or not ''Samus And Joey'' is {{canon}}ical with the games or an AlternateContinuity that shouldn't be considered under most circumstances.



* BrokenBase: ''Samus And Joey'' is generally accepted as part of the "''Metroid'' canon" by fans. What is contentious is whether or not ''Samus And Joey'' is required reading in {{continuity}} with the games or an AlternateContinuity that shouldn't be considered under most circumstances.



* HilariousInHindsight: In ''EX'', Samus's gunship gets stripped of its parts by a race of diminutive tech-savvy kleptomaniacs, much to her aggravation. It's pretty much exactly what happens to a fellow bounty hunter in [[Recap/TheMandalorianS1E2Chapter2TheChild "Chapter 2: The Child"]] of ''Series/TheMandalorian''.

* TearJerker: The death of U-Ton. Over the course of a few days, Joey's made friends with a mysterious android who's been bringing him high quality scrap parts. It turns out that he's an escaped war machine who goes rampaging at night, tearing apart important machinery (hence the quality scrap the next day.) U-Ton himself doesn't know why this is happening, and the change freaks him out as much as anyone else. When Samus arrives to destroy U-Ton, it turns out that he's saddled with a defect that will eventually lead to him detonating with enough power to ''level'' a good chunk of the space station Joey's currently living on. While Joey is able to reach U-Ton in [[DyingAsYourself his final moments]], he still has to be killed to prevent more damage to the space station.

* CompleteMonster:
** Volume 1: [[StarterVillain Dragüd]] is an infamous Space Pirate out to enslave and conquer those in his path. He orders his men to raze Joey's village to bring back innocents for [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slave labor]] and kill those who refuse to serve, viewing the planet as theirs to control. After witnessing his men getting killed by a pack of Metroids, Dragüd decided to harvest the energy of a dead one to create the Megaroid, an ultra-powerful {{bioweapon|Beast}} for which he'll unleash upon the galaxy by his side, with Samus to serve as its first victim.
** Volume 3:
*** "Suspicious Dark Shadows, Different Interiors": [[AxCrazy Dangelo]] is a psychopathic escaped convict who wants revenge on Samus for locking him up. Given a blue Power Suit by the [[WarForFunAndProfit Dominion]] to test out its abilities, Dangelo uses it instead to [[SpreeKiller go on a killing spree]], murdering several people as he robs a bank as a way to pin the crime on Samus. Killing over 30 people over the span of a few days, Dangelo later [[CopKiller kills several cops]] who swarm Samus to make her look worse. Dangelo afterwards blows up part of a hospital and takes the remaining patients hostage. Once Samus arrives, Dangelo gleefully threatens to kill the hostages should Samus not break her arm cannon, happy to see her powerless as he attempts to murder the hostages regardless.
*** "Demon Planet--A Dash for Hope": [[WardensAreEvil The Base Commander]] is a member of the Dominion placed in charge of weapons development and testing. Imprisoning those who come close to uncovering the Dominion, the Base Commander uses his prisoners of all ages as test subjects for his organization's deadly weapons, which are used to start wars across the galaxy. Kidnapping Joey and Diesel, the Base Commander has them and a whole group of prisoners unfairly chosen as guinea pigs, giving them an incredibly small running start before sending his tanks out to murder them. Killing a majority of them before Samus arrives to stop him, the Base Commander decides to use Samus as his ultimate test subject, hoping to use her suit to develop more powerful weapons.
** "Lost Powers and a Determined Voyage" & ''EX'': [[ArcVillain Greed]] is a [[DragonsAreDemonic draconic]] alien who seeks to become emperor of the galaxy by activating the Animus. Seeking revenge on Samus for damaging the status of his race after the death of Ridley, Greed has Joey kidnapped to lure Samus into a trap, forcing her into a [[ColdBloodedTorture torturous machine]] that plucks away her abilities. Forming the Greed Corps to spread chaos across the galaxy, Greed gives Samus's abilities to his Deadly Six Stars, allowing them to murder and enslave countless figures. Viewing those close to him as expendable, once Samus is in his grasp, Greed has her sacrificed to activate the Gates of Judgment. After entering the Gate, Greed activates the Animus and uses it to spawn several {{black hole}}s across the galaxy, planning to swallow everything and remake the universe [[InTheirOwnImage in his own image]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Samus telling Joey that fear is completely natural, and even she can feel scared sometimes. A touching moment here, [[Videogame/MetroidOtherM a controversial moment in 2010.]]
* SignatureScene: The scene that is most often talked about in general is the one page shot of Samus wearing a cloak over her armor in the middle of the desert. Not only does it look cool, but is a BigDamnHeroes moment for that particular chapter with Samus coming to save Joey.

* HarsherInHindsight: Samus telling Joey that fear is completely natural, and [[Manga/MetroidManga even she can feel scared sometimes. A sometimes]], but she fights even when she's afraid so that she will never lose the people she cares about. It's [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments a very touching moment here, [[Videogame/MetroidOtherM moment]] here. But in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', Samus becomes frozen in fear during battle and ([[DisneyDeath nearly]]) loses a close friend as a result, creating one of the most controversial moment moments of the entire ''Metroid'' series.

Word Of God confirms that Samus doesn't die at the end of EX. The manga is set between Super and Fusion. Idzuki Kouji has also said that he imagines what Samus would be doing after EX.


* FridgeHorror: This manga serves as an alternate sequel to the ''Manga/{{Metroid}}'' manga, but it clearly references events from ''Videogame/SuperMetroid''. [[spoiler: With Samus dying at the end of the comic, who is going to fight against the [[Videogame/MetroidFusion X-Parasites]]?]]
