Megaman 10 confirmed

[PrettyNier]

I don't think it's too much to ask that the character i'm supposed to be engaged with have some kind of personality. Fusion had some through her thoughts, but the other games don't give us anything to go on. To say that a subtle character can't express anything is ridiculous. I'm sorry if "convention" is to have a character with "personality" and "motives" but if that makes me ignorant, then fine.

Bombastic cutscenes are not the only way to express character traits, and there have been countless expressions of samus' character throughout the series~

again, you're not supposed to be engaged with the character you are supposed to be the character, she is a representation of who you are, not just some guy you look at and go "i can relate to them"; without completely sacrificing character. She is still an identifiable character - the issue here seems to be that you're just missing things.

But even despite this, they have managed to weasel in character plotline and emotion. She is solitary, she is somewhat vengeful, and she is individual: she is strong. but she is also somewhat caring; this is expressed in the ending for Metroid II by her keeping the baby metroid alive and sort of "protecting" it, despite her mission. And that's all she has to be.
By creating superficial or disruptive plotlines in the name of "character development", akin to what fusion almost did, they are destroying what makes metroid "metroid" in the first place.

That isn't to say, again, that there is no character development: there is, in both super metroid and metroid II, and in fusion and kind of zero mission. Zero mission creates a backstory of her being raised by the chozo as an orphan and imbues another level to the plot without actually relying on conventional narrative.

I wish they'd include her backstory in something besides a comic

^read above^

With samus being as pretty much the only person to exist in most of the metroid games, they could at least give some sort of insight as to what she thinks.

actions speak more than words~~!!
