Of course a Chozo-made suit is resistant to Chozo weaponry. You don't attack a Pokemon with a move of its same type, after all.

Luckily, Samus evolved into a dual Chozo-type / Metroid-type, and Metroid-type is broken.

I thought she was Chozo/Human with a rare Metroid Tera Type. She even gets a fancy hat armor.

Ridley is Fire/Dragon, but Meta Ridley is Steel/Dragon and Ridley X is Dark/Dragon.

No! Not everything has to be dual typed! I don't get to throw rock and scissors at the same time! Pokemon has too many goddamn moving parts! It's such unbelievable bullsh-is dragged away off the stage-

[up][up] There are almost no pure flying types. All the regular birds are also normal types, for some reason.

You do if it's a Ghost or a Dragon.

I don't think Mother Brain is any of those types if you ask me because nowadays, Mother Brain is only one thing: fuckin toasst.

Still wild to believe it has been that many years since the days of Metroid games coming one year after another from 2004-2007, even having a pinball game at one point. Do you guys think we'll ever see a "Metroid Renaissance" like that ever again?

Honestly, I'm content with them taking their time releasing new games.

But I predict we'll see an annual release for the rest of the Prime remasters.

What's wild to me is that the last Metroid died in 1994. The entire species has been extinct for almost thirty years. And we're like half a dozen Metroid games past that.

[up]Most of which were prequels to that. Only three games happen after Super Metroid, and one of them is Fanon Discontinuity.

Yeah, Other M just makes Fusion worse by existing.

Metroid I to V have a species extinction in II, with an endling that could be reproductive dying in III, despite substantial cloning. As of V, only Samus has Metroid DNA.

Prime is set after I but before II, and so we get Tallon Metroids.

Yeah, they basically went all but extinct by only the second game. And that was government-sanctioned genocide too.

That's why there were in Prequel mode for a long time.

Heck, if they really wanted to bring back the Metroids, they can just have Samus go to a new planet that was a Chozo containment facility and oops turns out there's more Metroids.

Worked for the X in Dread.

Can we really call the destruction of the Metroids genocide when they're basically bioweapons with animal intelligence?
