A Metroid Movie?
"[S]exy bounty hunter Samus Aran"? Did I miss something? I thought she spent too much time, you know bustin' caps in alien ass while decked out in 80 pounds of alien suit to be particularly, you know, *sexy*. Or, at least, to be thrown into the same category as that idiot with boobs known as Lara Croft? (Craft? who gives a flippin' flip, anyway?).
You can certainly be sexy and be strong, let's not go there. But Lara was designed to be every fanboy's wet dream - a woman with breats for miles, whom you literally had under your thumb(s). Samus being a female came off as an after-though, a marketing fluke of some savvy game designer. Her taking a shower at the end of games? Ridiculous, but only visible AT THE END. And if you finished the stage at an insanely fast time.
Argh. I just....argh...
Not. Able. To. Make. Coherent. Argument.
Goddamn those fanboys/girls for messing this one up for me.
