Well then. Just makes it harder to realistically believe.
I've been mostly lurking in that thread. That thread is 1 big hamster wheel.
Well. He ages backwards. That's pretty curious. No?
Well it really just depends. How much time is between the intervals. How much conflict was she in during those times. When did she actually have the attack. Ect...
Knowing Metroid logic (and the fact that Other M doesn't specify a certain time), I'd say a couple years at least.
She was having conflict due to the death of the baby metroid which had saved her life before. But I don't know if that's enough to emotionally cripple her.
Okay it's about time I said this.
Any traumatic experience can cause PTSD. Given that this baby Metroid saved her life, it stands to reason that was a near death experience no? That would certain seem traumatic to me.
The baby Metroid saved her life when she was fighting against Mother Brain. She was extremely weak and the baby sucked out most of Mother Brain's life force before proceeding to give it to Samus and heal her. Mother Brain then killed the Metroid and Samus managed to destroy her.
You know, the "baby" was an adult when it saves Samus mind you.
That isn't PTSD. That's a panic attack. PTSD is more long term and will stick with you more. Panic attacks are generally short term and only triggered by certain events, and even if the event were to happen again there is no guarantee that panic attack would happen again.
Given what Packack just said about the games and that the only attack she had was in Other M at the sight of Ridley. It's quite possible for to have had a panic attack at the 4th encounter. There is only a limited amount of logic in a panic attack the rest is illogical and can be triggered once by an event but not again by the same even happening again.
Well, yeah, but that's an easy way to distinguish it from the other Metroids.
It's Pacack. Like Pac-Man with the ack sound repeated.
I think we're missing the point.
Well, we never saw in detail how Samus reacted to the Metroid after having it do more than just follow her around (she wouldn't have had an attachment to it until it saved her life). She very well may have just been caught up in the action and not have had time to fully react to the Metroid's death until after everything was said and done.
Code "Baby's Cry"
Didn't realize I spelled it wrong. Sorry.
It really just depends on the context. I'm not familiar with the Metroid games, and thus don't know the canon, so I don;t know how this scene played out and her past to judge the scene fully and see how it fits in the story, wasn't just there for dramatic effect.
Oh yes we did.
Granted it's a stupid reason, but a reason nonetheless.
I recommend you look at the scene itself at the very least to see what happens in it.
It could have been. But, if it was, then it would only reinforce that she had grown attached to it. The same contemplation on losing it would have happened either way.
Not really.
Once again.
I get what you're saying. With how little she interacted with it, she really shouldn't have gotten so attached. Applying the whole mother/child relationship is kinda forced.
Personally, I'm super hyped for the RocketBarrel Theme from the DK games. That was easily the best new song in Returns for me.
I'm still waiting for a Gradius emoticon.
Who says we can't have both?
Except, Other M established beforehand that clones were present on the ship, so really, she should've at least considered the matter that Ridley could be one of them.
Ironically, you ignored my point completely. The argument is there's an inconsistency in how it's portrayed. You say it's established, but the manga established it completely differently then how it's done in Other M. In the manga, it's supposed to be used in a method of character growth (yes I know that's not how it works in real life, but that's how the manga did it), but Other M tries to do it differently. So really, Other M is the only instance that tries to establish it in the way it's portrayed in that game.
If we're going for realism, I'll just point to this:
Honestly, reading mimgrim's posts, I could see it more as a panic attack.
That won't make her be unable to have a panic attack, you know. They're something that doesn't logically come up, they just happen. Welcome to how they work, they're random and irrational.
Big deal. Tons of games are inconsistent. Shadow the Hedgehog has inconsistencies with Sonic Adventure 2's story. Still part of the actual main storyline regardless. Mistakes happen.
Then they should've make it more obvious what the case was. I didn't say it was written perfectly. Cause that's unreasonable to say. I never thought that. I agree that it has problems. I'm more concerned with other stuff anyway.
I, notably, was not. I am saying that these things are fairly irrational anyway. I know panic attacks happen, and you can't control them. That's just how it is. However, in the context of the story? It can be different from real life, and that's okay too. Whether you like how it was portrayed or not, it can be portrayed that way.
I asked Helix if Ridley would be in Smash 4, and it said "Without a doubt."
I haven't laughed that much in awhile.
"Signs point to yes" on Mewtwo.
This is the greatest thing I've seen all week (other than the Direct). xD
I've laughed way harder than I should have hahaha
