"BEEP!"
So If I understand the ending correct? Samus is a full Metroid now. Meaning she has the ability to drain the life force from others. Thing is last I checked isn't this something that metroids do out of instinct and do it automatically when they touch some sort of energy source which is what made them so dangerous in the first place?
It seems like there are one of two paths they can go to. They can have her be a Master Chief/doomguy esque protagonist that totally kicks butt, or they'll pull a Cortana have Samus go insane and be the big bad that a "New hip protagonist" has to fight and kill off and inevitably said new protagonist replaces Samus as the main character of the Francise.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've seen a lot of Gaming journalist knocking Samus down for whatever reason, and I've seen an awful lot of cases where a character or franchise has gotten kneecapped for the sake of appearing progressive. (Last of us, Mortal Kombat, Star Wars, He-Man, Marvel and DC) I'll admit I'm def a more causal metroid fan, but I love the character of Samus (Minus other M) and I don't want to see another popular franchise, especially one that broke so much ground for it's time. "Get Woke, Go Broke"
I don't know. Am I misunderstanding the ending? Are my fears unfounded? does anyone else who played this game have the same concerns I do?
