*** The scene still went beyond "freaked out." How many times has Samus been scared [[IncrediblyLamePun suitless]] like that before now? Also, the Ridley in ''Super Metroid'' was a clone!? I guess Samus isn't the only character suffering from not being badass enough. Also also, [[CanonDiscontinuity Sakamoto ignored]] ''[[CanonDiscontinuity Prime]]'' [[CanonDiscontinuity when making this game]], so I'm not sure that Samus knew about the Pirates' cloning/resuscitating abilities.

* Why is Anthony Higgs the squad's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_point point man?]] He's the biggest guy in the squad with the slowest-firing weapon ever created in the history of mankind, and it's his ''job'' to be standing between the rest of the squad and restricting their line of fire while being expected to return fire first. Buh?
** The "slowest firing weapon" isn't his primary weapon. He's got a machinegun and a freeze gun just like the rest of them do, too.

* What's up with that first shot of the opening cutscene, showing all the space rubble getting hit by meteors? Is it the BOTTLE SHIP after the endgame? Is it the Ceres colony after ''Super Metroid''? Was it supposed to be a new setting for K-2L? It goes totally unexplained.

*** In regards to the above, it could be that the entire sole of the boot is essentially a platform (which also explains where upgrades like additional thrusters and such could fit in)

** There's a likely reason why the Ridley corpse is in cold storage in Fusion: the cleanup crew that took the body away from the Bottle Ship most likely froze it solid to ensure it doesn't crumble so they could safely pick it up and move it.

*** Also, Samus may be one of the only Hunters out there that'd go at such a signal. Others may be more craven (not going to go in on an unknowm signal where god knows what's in there), ideologically uninterested (someone like Sylux, who HATES the Federation, or Spirez who wouldn't have any interest as it doesn't get him any closer to his goal), or simply disinterested because there's no clear gain (nobody's offering cold hard credits, and the Federation may not be interested in paying them)

*** One possibility is that we're seeing that moment through Samus' eyes, and she's experiencing a bit of time dialation. Much like how people describe traumatic memories (like car crashes) as feeling much longer than they were, we're experiencing that first hand.
Added DiffLines:
*** One possibility is that Meta Ridley doesn't cause her to panic, because to her, that's not THE Ridley. It looks like him at a glance, but there's enough visibly different that she doesn't lose her cool. The one she fights on the Bottle Ship, though... that looks, sounds, etc EXACTLY like Ridley. Like the one who killed her parents in front of her, like the one who she saw burn to death on a planet that vaporized. That could be rhat exacerbated her panic.

*** Another possibility is that there's two variants of the Power Suit. One Hard Light version, and another physical metal version. Samus was using the HL version in Other M because she wasn't going in on an extermination mission or expecting heavy combat (she was there on a distress beacon, so she was likely expecting more of a Search and Rescue role, where a suit that could easily be switched on and off would be a benefit in the event of meeting potentially panicked survivors). The physical armor is more for missions where she knows she's going in to heavy combat against a lot of enemies and likely not encountering much else.

The Federation Marines were being sent planetside, with little risk from collateral damage (wheread on a space station, hitting the wrong thing with an energy round could basically kill everyone),and no inclination for preservation (whereas the Bottle Ship held Federation R&D projects that they were trying to keep).

**** It's possible that the body was designed that way for emergency situations (say, hostile incursion into the ship, or catastrophic emergency failure), so that she could act as either a defensive unit or emergency rescue able to pry open stuck doors and the like bare-handed.

*** Not to mention that, in Samus' book, Metroids are SERIOUSLY bad news, wheras the other possible threat was ostensibly ONE GF Trooper (IE, a relatively baseline human), who she could likely deal with later, assuming she needed to. Plus, ostensibly, a rogue GF Trooper isn't officially her problem (she's a bounty hunter, and he's not yet got a bounty on him), he may be acting under Adam's orders, and he isn't capable of rapidly reproducing and spreading.

*** As a possibility, Samus innately tends towards a slightly digitigrade stance (balances on the balls of her feet, rather than flat), either because of the Chozo biological modification or simple habit from being raised by them. The heels may simply make that more comfortable for her, since she's now having to consider that her Power Suit isn't always possible to access.
Added DiffLines:
** Also, DNA could be left on the Suit because of physical contact. Say Ridley nicks her with his tail, and some loose scale fragments or other biological material gets left in/on the suit. A Metroid grabs her, and some of their goo/saliva/digestive enzymes get left when she shakes it loose. Etc.

*** Could be that her armor is a sort of psychological security blanket or disassociation tool (IE, when she's not in tha armor she's still somewhat that directionless, uncertain orphan girl, but once the armor goes on, she's Samus Aran, THE Hunter, bane of Zebes and scourge of the Pirates). She may simply be more at ease within the metal embrace of the Power Suit.

** Species imprinting is a thing. Samus was raised by the Chozo, yes, but they're definitely alien. They may not have concepts like "father" or "mother", instead perhaps raising the young communally. So to Samus, Adam was the first definite "father" she had, rather than "caregiver"
