yes and no spoilers for the boss ahead
the baby metroid saves samus's life at one point in the fight and drains ridley at the end of each phase after the fact, which does help explain why samus is so ****** emotionaly after super metroid the thing saved her *** multiple times, the ridley bit is still dumb, but now her going on about the baby is slightly more justified
This just makes Super Metroid maoe no sense
Why the **** would Samus give the Metroid who saved her life to Federation scientists? Did she really trust them enough to care of it?

Still, ENGAGE FINAL BOSS RIDLEY ************

TFW you think you're gonna lose but at the last second, the gods smile on you and bestow their blessings upon you.
This particular instance happens more frequently then it should IMO.

Now if only this blessing was put in my real life situations.

Even then, she knew they'd run experiments on it and likely have to kill it if deemed too dangerous(though we know they'd just clone it and make an army of Metroids).

But anyways, I just saw the video
Ridley wears armor and is now purple, guess that's his canon color now. He also looks a lot like Brawl Ridley now.
Also, one neat thing I noticed: he turns red after being defeated, which is how he looks in Super Metroid. I find this a neat retcon since now we have a canon appearence for him and an explanation for why he looks different in some ganes(though he really is only red in the SM official artwork)

Well, she was hired to kill the Metroid. I don't think the Federation would have liked that the one that they hired had the last Metroid with her as a pet, no matter if the Metroid was good or not they were still perceived as a danger for the galaxy in their eyes. So they had to ask Samus to give the Metroid to them for precaution and testing. Since Samus doesn't know that the federation was corrupted by this point and not wanting to become a traitor in their eyes. She had to give the Metroid and hope they wouldn't kill or keeping it for more experience. Or atleast, that's what I understand out of this mess.

Also, Ridley design basically confirm Prime is canon and explain why he was suddenly back to normal Ridley in SM. Plus, he had to get back the Metroid by himself just to get his revenge on Samus and piss her off, I love it.

I don't think there was never any doubt on this.
Like, yeah, Prime doesn't affect the other games too much but they were all released before or during the Prime trilogy, so it'd be hard to write in references to it, with the only exception being Other M but we all know Sakamoto is full of bull****

Actually, there seem alot of peoples in the Metroid community that still think that Sakomoto retgone the Prime continuity, when he just said that he just didn't pay attention to the Primes game because he didn't work of them. But some peoples just assumed that he meant that Primes is suddenly not canon anymore!

So yeah, I say MSR finally made the point clear: The Prime Trilogy is canon, Sakomoto didn't **** up. (On that note, MSR is Sakmoto apology for Other M imo, in my eyes, I forgive him for what he did with Other M. Every artist, even the best of the best, can **** up really hard some time. But aslong as you understand your errors and then make something new and good by using the feedback that you gotten, it show that you really care about your fanbase and want to make them happy. Now, let's see if this is going to be a one hit wonder or if he is going to keep making good Metroid games)

Watched the movie... it was meh, gonna wait for the new anime
You mean the new live action one? I haven't seen it. Watch the animated film from the 90s, esp if you like the Matrix.

My most favorite anime movie hands down.
Yeah, it's really good.


Thanks to the creator slacking off... the anime has to be on hold/ end since it is catching up to the manga.
The 2011 anime has a concise ending of sorts, and works well as a stand alone.

S2 is even more better
S2 was pretty good too, but it also had lots of filler, and didn't have the same impact S1 had. S1 works decent as a stand alone, simply cause of how well packed it was, esp finishing off with that awesome All Might scene at the end. S2 was more of an extension of S1, and it's not as tightly structured. Overall, just read the manga, it's 10/10 so far.

The entire point of the Prime games was that they would not directly reference the maingames, and therefore have no continuity errors. Ironically, every continuity error in Metroid is contained to just the Prime games, or just the main games.

Honestly, the more complex Metroid's plot becomes, the more nonsensical it gets. Who actually cares about SR's plot? It's a remake of the least story based Metroid in existence

Once the next Tempest Trials arrive in Fire Emblem Heroes, every arena team is going to have Black Knight.

The only variation is going to be whether they have two 5* BKs or a single +1 5* BK.

I've never once used an armor unit and the idea of moving only one space seems dreadful to me but... even not having played any game with him in it I think I might end up using him a lot too. :laugh:

So I thought I'd ask.

What's the best way to get a very grotesque song out of your head that you've heard on the radio?
As a general rule of thumb, if it was safe for the radio, it's a sign to stop being so prudish.

Why does it even bother you? What song was it, even?
Well I didn't shazam the song, but not even a minute into the song I heard part of the lyrics, and the first word that came to mind was "vagina." So I figured it was about abortion or something like that.

Later my intuition became more obvious, so I just changed the station. It was just too weird for me.

I don't like Animal Crossing either. That, Pikmin, Chibi-Robo, Splatoon, ARMS, and Metroid are the Nintendo series I just could never get in to.

Then there's other series (not necessarily Nintendo) where I only like one game or a certain sub-set in the franchise. I love Megaman Legends despite not caring about the Megaman core series.
Well AC isnt for everyone. i use it to escape my life but for others its just boring.

Just saying, I have no idea why a married man is mentally scarred by the word "vagina."

Like damn.

Or just cyber punk in general, I wasn't too huge into Matrix but I think Matrix was ok as well.
S2 was pretty good too, but it also had lots of filler, and didn't have the same impact S1 had. S1 works decent as a stand alone, simply cause of how well packed it was, esp finishing off with that awesome All Might scene at the end. S2 was more of an extension of S1, and it's not as tightly structured. Overall, just read the manga, it's 10/10 so far.
I'm respect your opinion but I'm not sure where you are going with this, first off, I already did catch up to the manga so S2 basically didn't have lots of filler, yet. Besides, I don't recall it "lots of" but rather just some. Most were just some scenes differ from the manga, so... they aren't really fillers if that's what you were talking about. The only filler episode so far was episode 19, which was a really good filler episode because Asui really needed some spotlight after the Stain arc.
And saying S2 is an extension of S1 is like... duh? They are just continuing the story after the USJ invasion. And my opinion is on the contrary, the story has being more and more well structured as the story progresses.

tl;dr things that didn't appear in the manga appeared in anime doesn't mean it's bad.

This also reminds me of Made In Abyss, the anime change quite lot of of scenes compare to the manga. Recent episode even added some part that weren't in the manga

Considering I've heard songs like NIN's Closer on the radio...someone mentioning the word vagina on the radio is rather tame...

I'm not. Mentally scarring is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to this. If anything, the proper term to describe the song is "Very Weird."
Yeah, no. Look at your reactions again.
Apparently so. At least I didn't need it's help to figure out that weird 90's song I heard on the radio a couple of weeks ago. (I'm still trying to forget I ever heard it too)
So I thought I'd ask.

What's the best way to get a very grotesque song out of your head that you've heard on the radio?
Calling it "grotesque" and "trying to forget you ever heard it" just because it mentions the word vagina goes WELL BEYOND thinking it was weird and goes straight to you being mentally disturbed by it.

Which, like I said, is kind of worrying considering you're supposedly married. It's an immature overreaction.
God damn these hairs growing on my chin, on what side ofbthe family did I get this from
Man I hate chin hair. I look like a scruffy goat if I don't shave.

I'm also be making the dialogue for the Direct trailer. I will only being doing the story part. Not Azurda's part.

Here is the first one with a few correction:
Oh yeah, time to write down the dialogue and make my own analysis and theories.

Narrator: This is Alrest, a world covered in a sea of clouds. Many giant life forms called Titans lived in this cloud sea and many people built their countries and lives on top of these creatures. In the middle of this world stands the world tree, and it says at the top of it lies Elysium, a delicate land of plenty.
....
Many great powers rule over region of Alrest, the Kingdom of Uraya is one of them, its territory contained their Titan. The Urayas deeply respect nature boasting advanced biotechnology.

Lady from Uraya: For now we should keep our troop mobilized while we monitored this situation.

Narrator: Their rival the militaristic Empire of Mor Ardain is another, controlling Titans through mechanical means. They bring heavy armaments to bear as their necks other lands in a bid to save their own from ruin and debris

Kid from Mor Ardain: I doubt he would be stopped, even by an army 5,000 strong.

Narrator: The Imperial Province of Gormott, a plentiful land now fallen under Danian control.

And the Indoline of Praetorium, whose people revere and worship the Titans. Window controls the supply of core crystals. which Blades are born of, and so despite being a theocracy they hold much influence over the world's military affairs.
Next the Argentum Trade Guild, a shrewd consortium of traders they do well for themselves by deftly navigating the strained relations between other nations and exploiting wartime demand.
...
And last of but not least, Torna, carrying out secret operations under the cloud sea to achieve their mysterious goals, before long this world will fall into turmoil over efforts to find the legendary Blade, the Aegis (Pyra).

Military Uniform Lady: That is precisely the kind of scenario that I mean to prevent.

(Military Uniform Lady attacks Pyra)

Fat dude we've seen in the previous trailer: Hand her over to a grow-up. (Possibly talking to Rex)

Another dude who could possibly be a king: The Aegis must be destroyed.

(Pyra saw something above)

Pyra: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fat Greedy Nopon: Then I shall Aegis too, and make mountains of CASH!!

Torna Dude we saw in the previous trailer: I'm guessing your goal... is Elysium.

Pyra: That... IS OUR .. DREAM! (Like I said, Pyra actually already said this in the Japan E3 trailer)

Narrator: Who will find the Aegis? Who will make it to Elysium?

Only time will tell...
Analysis time,
Man, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 do feel like Game of Thrones huh?
Kingdom of Uraya : Possibly the protagonist kingdom that will help Rex and other crews.
Empire of Mor Ardain: likely the kingdom that will be the middle kingdom that will stop Rex going to Elysium but seems to stop a dude too for some reason.
Province of Gormott: Possibly a place that will have a huge story quest to complete.
Indoline of Praetorium: So... this is where Blades were born (Even Pyra?) This could be the place to understand more about the Blades and even really be a huge supply for getting Blade crystals.
Aregentum Trade Guild: The neutral where other nation having conflict and they get all the goodies... and their leader could possibly be that greedy nopon.
Torna: Definitely the main antagonist of the story, they seems to have captured Pyra for some reason. I also guess that they know she wants to go to Elysium.

So basically, just imagine Blades are kind of like talking Pokemons. There will be common ones and rare ones, so I won't be surprised if we see more Blades like Pyra and Hikari. And of course, Blades seems to come in all form, from Blade look no different like humans to furries to even just animals (Like Nia's Blade).

My guess is Pyra seems to be the legendary Blade, and yes, Pyra is the Monado in this story where a lot of people are trying to get her whereas some individuals know her potential threat and want to kill her.

Question remains:
How did Rex encounter Torna?
Why did Pyra believed Rex and let his become the driver of Aegis?
Why Pyra need to go to Elysium? What will happen if she goes there?
Just what the hell is Torna up to? What are their goals?
Why nations are starting war to each other?
JUST WHAT THE BIONIS IS ELYSIUM?
Are Blades being treated as normal species are really just like Pokemons where most people respect and have bond with other people whereas some just regard Blades merely as weapons?
Why Nia and a dude decided to team up with Rex?I know she is a kid cat girl but why didn't she try to get Pyra like rest of people?
How many kinds of people are there? Is Rex a Homs? What kind of specie Nia is?

A Yoshi is getting roasted by a possum about the word "vagina"

I have now seen everything...
But can you see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?



I've thought Blazblue Crosstag battle was confirmed for Switch this entire time.

Turns out im just an idiot who saw Arc Sys's Red/white logo and assumed it was the switch logo. Sadness.
