Quote:Meh, not really an excuse. If you're going to have an engaging plot, you need your lead character to be engaging. It's fine for her to be "omgbobafettmysterious" but not if she's in the leading role. Which she is. Metroid is Nintendo's one franchise where they can go all-out with character exploration in a serious setting and they choose to make her as bland as Link, Mario, etc. It's a shame really.uuuugh
the entire point is that it isn't an overdone "cinematic" mess of a "game" with a ten thousand page plotline that takes up about half of the gametime with cutscenes completely destroying any semblance of character by ironically trying to define character
you are supposed to project yourself over samus, not the opposite; metroid is not an overblown bombastic series, it is a subtle and indirect one by its very nature
if you don't understand that, fine, but don't be ignorant enough to claim it as an 'excuse' for not following what is often seen as the normal "convention"; and requesting change on the matter is nothing but an expression of ignorance
