History WMG / Metroid

* A girl, maybe, but not a human girl. Unless the federation added a sci-fi movie monster synthesizer into their suit for no good reason, then human beings typically don't make those kind of sounds... then again, the Franchise/MetalGear roars for no good reason...

While it is established that the Main/SpacePirates have cloning technology, it alone cannot explain why Samus fought Ridley six times over the course of the series, while Mother Brain and Kraid only got two battles. In addition, she fought him twice during ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3'', in deadly skirmishes that took place a mere month apart. ''And'', after his body was blasted in two and the planet Zebes (the sole remaining Space Pirate base of operations) was blown to smithereens at the end of ''Super Metroid'', he was ''still'' able to be captured by the Federation in ''Metroid Fusion''! The only way this makes any sense is if he can recover from a fatal injury ''without the need for cloning''. While the Space Pirates fooled around with his body for purposes of adding mechanical attachments, he didn't need them to live. Also, if he was cloned at any point in the series, it was between Corruption and Super Metroid, largely due to the nature of being a Leviathan guardian and the subsequent destruction of Phazon in its entirety.

Considering the suit, and upgrades, are all Chozo technology, it may even have special symbolic significance beyond "you got a thing".

Perhaps Samus' encounter with The Mawkin on ZDR motivates her to rediscover her roots and find/unite other tribed to defend the galaxy from the former's imperialist tendencies [[spoiler: with the help of her new Metroid powers]].

[[WMG: If the Mawkin return as the villians in a sequel, the boss fights with their leaders will be based on Egyptian gods]]

* Samus' gunship is not just an upload of Adam; it ''is'' Adam. In the manner of ''Literature/TheShipWhoSang'', the computer actually uses the recovered central nervous system of Adam Malkovich as its CPU. This is particularly likely because there are no non-organic computers in the ''Metroid'' series, but plenty of computers and robots with organic cores; both the Aurora Units and Mother Brain are organic, and even robots like B.O.X. in ''Metroid Fusion'' have organic cores for no readily explained reason. It seems likely that non-organic computers either cannot be built (perhaps the ''Metroid'' groups don't know how to), or there are laws or other restrictions explaining why they don't. There's ample precedent for injured war heroes having their brains recovered and used as the central components in robotic bodies, as both Ghor and Weavel demonstrate, so depending on the circumstances of Adam's death, which [[strike:remain unknown]] we know from Metroid: Other M, it's entirely plausible that it's actually him in there.

[[WMG: Sylux will star in a GaidenGame of his own]]

I mean hey, it could be cool.

Sylux was created by the GF or the Chozo to be a SuperSoldier with metroid-like abilities, but it rebelled, stole the armor and the shock coil, and started battling the GF. he can drain health from enemies with the shock coil(his signature weapon) because it modified it to attune with its life-siphoning power. it hates Samus because she kills its kind.

[[WMG: Sylux was the prototype for the GF's mind-uploading program.]]

[[WMG: Sylux is an orphan like Samus who was taken in by the renegade Chozo.]]

[[WMG: Sylux is a robot that was created by the Galactic Federation, but was reprogrammed/infected with a virus that made him betray them]]

[[WMG: The baby metroid that Sylux stole at the end of Federation Force imprinted on Sylux.]]

Sylux was the first thing that metroid saw, just like with Samus and the Baby (although that hasn't happened yet at the time of Prime 4). It remains to be seen whether this metroid will grow to the size that the Baby did, but either way Samus will likely end up facing both it and Sylux in combat, possibly at the same time.

[[WMG: Anthony was given all the praise for the BOTTLE SHIP incident.]]

The Galactic Federation will twist the events of ''Other M'' into making Anthony out to be the true hero, downplaying Adam's and completely ignoring Samus' involvement. He'll be given a higher rank, and will play an important role in a future ''Metroid'' game as an ally or even employer of Samus.

* This is essentially canon: ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' mentions that the basic doors have a weak forcefield to keep wildlife out that's disabled by her weapon (with other doors just having better force fields that need a different weapon to unlock) and the missile doors have blast shields, which are blown off, leaving another type of door behind. ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' hints at it, too, by having the doors in the Ceres space station in the opening lack such shields and just open as she approaches. These doors are also found on the Bottle Ship in ''Other M''.
* Another possible explanation is that these barrier doors are used to make doors accesible to multiple alien species at a time. I mean look at the hands of an alien like Rundas or Trace, for example - they might do better just shooting a large, blue target rather than struggling to grab a bar or doorknob with their claws. Places like the Ceres colony or Bottle Ship wouldn't require access to any species besides humans, but cosmopolitan areas like the [=GFS=] Olympus, Zebes, or Aether would need to account for more than one kind of alien hand in order to accomodate for visitors. Subsequent blast shields for Missiles or specialized Beams may be for military or defensive purposes, however.

** It's likely that [[GameplayAndStorySegregation in-story, the save stations are just used for maintenance, since Samus has never canonically died, or missed a jump and fallen into a bottomless pit.]] Obviously, we as gamers are not nearly as good as the canon Samus, and so need such saving graces to prevent the game from becoming unwinnable.

[[WMG: VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow is to Castlevania as Metroid Fusion is to Metroid]]

[[WMG:Ridley is a member of [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP-682's species]].]]

As we know from Fusion, the Federation tends to upload valuable people to computers before their deaths. And who's more valuable than Samus Aran? At some point, the Federation managed to scan Samus's brain and copied it into a humanoid robot equipped with GF knockoffs of Samus's gear. As with Adam, the Federation mistakenly believed that this creature would be completely loyal to them. But Sylux inherited Samus's rebellious streak and went rogue. Now it has sworm vengeance against the Federation for their mistreatment of it, and it intends to kill Samus to cement itself as the "real" version.

** If they're a villainous faction, chances are they'll be an amoral MegaCorp in the vein of [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Weyland-Yutani]].

The Reptilicus on Bryyo are vaguely-anthropomorphic reptiles with three eyes, like Kraid. They also have giant golems that are nearly the same size. Biologically, they just seem to be quite similar.

Samus shot Ridley to death in [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} the]] [[VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission first game]]. That only killed him for a little while. Then [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime the Space Pirates revived]] him by [[WeCanRebuildHim making him a cyborg]], and Samus ''and'' some Chozo ghosts shot him to ([[NeverFoundTheBody apparent]]) death and threw him in a bottomless gorge. It didn't kill him (at ''all'', this time). Then he started healing from that, and [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption was fully corrupted by Phazon]] to the point he became a Leviathan guardian (this may have sped up his HealingFactor). Then he had all the Phazon ripped out of his body, reducing him to dust. ''This didn't kill him.''. And then he shows up [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns on [=SR388=]]], having actually healed to the point where most of his natural body has reformed. Samus shoots him to death again, while the baby Metroid is ''literally sucking the life force out of him'']]... and he not only revives by himself, with no assistance whatsoever... he actually heals the ''rest'' of his natural body soon after that, discarding all of his (outwardly-visible) cybernetic enhancements.
