Smash Hero
Well, we have no proof he was spared from those beams either. That reaction could have been just seconds before being hit himself .I noticed his absence aswell. Just an idea, but since we know some parts of the Subspace Army are coming back, like Galleom, perhaps Ridley is siding with the bad guys from the start given he originally sided with them. He's not the only one we didn't see of course, so it might just be nothing, but it's a possibility.
Dark Samus was notably absent too... then again what else would she be doing other than gathering Phazon?
I can see him being completely and utterly disgusted at being helped/rescued by the heroes. Doubly so if it's Samus doing the helping.Honestly, I am so curious to see Ridley in another cutscene. I already have a lot of headcanons with Rids, I wanna see what other ideas I can get with this like I had with the Subspace Emissary despite the disappointment.
