Dread. It’s the only one I’ve beaten twice. And it was the second one I beat overall, with the first one I beat being the original on NES. And I think, in terms of the classic games, I think the original on NES is still my favorite of the old ones. Edit, I’ve now beaten Dread on hard mode. It was exhilarating!

@@Bored_Overthinkersame And it’s the only one I played

Dread, I would say too 😊 just so frustrating that a few of my friends have Dread but never completed it, so I couldn't talk to them about Samus' awesome rage scene 😭

I really, really like prime 2. Zero mission has a place in my heart too

Unpopular opinion: Metroid Prime 2

I feel like the phazon metroids are the most likely way to keep the whole thing clean, especially if the original lore wasn't retconned. After all, we know that phazon was already all over the place before the pirates showed up. It wouldn't be a stretch for one to turn into a phazon Metroid and blink into the cradle. Hell the phazon metroids and Prime itself are very clearly similar in aesthetics

For me the original plot has less flaws. In the original the Chozos were still alive when the Space pirates arrived on Tallon IV, these stole some of the artifacts and the Chozos left clues on where they thought the pirates took the artifacts. In the new one the Chozos are dead already but they had foresight and saw the pirates steal the artifacts, which is stupid, because if you know is going to happen then hide the artifacts before that happens. In the original the Chozo weren't ghost too, it is explained that they found a way to trascend from their mortal bodies, but were corrupted by the Phazon, which is more in line of a Sci-fi game. In the re-release they were simple and boring vengenful ghost.

@@kevinalfaro7150 Easy explanation for the plot hole of the clue for the artifacts which were stolen by the pirates; the clues are not "written in stone" and actually are able to give you real time info on the location of the artifacts. Like a GPS locator lol.

Easy explanation for how the Metroid Prime got those mechanical weapons from the Pirates. After the Phazon Metroid (or regular Metroid later turned Phazon Metroid) escaped containment, prior to ending in the Impact Crater it assimilated several of the weapons from the Space Pirates' machinery and some Pirates themselves. As we've seen in Super Metroid and Metroid Dread, Metroids not only suck the energy of their prey, but they also are able to steal weapons and abilities from both organic and inorganic enemies, which is how in Super Metroid the baby Metroid got the Hyper Beam and passed it to Samus, and later Samus was able to absorb the energy of one of the EMMIs and defeat it that way.

The original pirate logs describe MP as “genetically similar” to a metroid, with Metroid Prime being the space pirates’ codename for it, so it’s not technically a Metroid, but then that raises questions on how it can spawn Metroids.

The suit absolutely has the ability to adapt any technology into itself, as most demonstrated in Prime 2 and Prime 3 where most of the upgrades you get have nothing to do with the Chozo at all, and were made by other species. This extends into Fusion, where we're shown that Samus can acquire new weaponry by simply downloading the data into the suit, rather than acquiring a physical item. It's a lot like Zed from Swat Kats or Technus from Danny Phantom, or probably closer to the Mechamorphs from Ben 10, who can store the data of any machinery they merge with and use that "memory" to tranform into it whenever they like. Fusion also allows Samus to absorb genetic information and convert that into an ability too with the advent of Metroid DNA into her system, she's just a straight up Kevin 11 type character now.

Enjoy yourself! It's one of the best games from the GameCube era

@@EdibleClown Thanks!

That's great to hear! Have you played any of the other entries?

you should play Super Metroid for SNES its on the switch (If you have online subscription)

@@maddmike5265 Already ahead of you, I’m playing it on 100% original hardware.

The Baby 😶

Doesn't this prove Phazon metroids evovle to hatchers then hatchers evolve into prime

​@@AxisChurchDevoteeThere are what could be Metroid Prime husks in the "Leviathan womb chamber" in Phaaze, further cementing your theory.

I just replied to another post saying exactly that

They're in the impact create also. Also ayyyy

@@Mr.G_717 ayyyyyy

Good theory

Plus, the hunters have the tentacles not unlike Prime.

Unfortunately, the timeline doesn't add up. Metroid's were never brought off planet by the Chozo, they were sealed beneath SR388's surface immediately following them going out of control, the group responsible for creating them was killed, and the Chozo group that killed them clearly didn't manage to get any metroid's for themselves since otherwise the entire plot of Dread wouldn't have happened. The metroids weren't some ubiquitous creation that every chozo knew about, it was a one off project that was covered up, the Chozo of Tallon 4 would have no idea they even existed. And if you consider the lore material provided by the manga as valid, then the timeline double restricts this, since there it's presented that metroids were created _during_ Samus's lifetime, Samus is a couple years older than the metroid species itself, and we know the Tallon Chozo had been there on said planet for millenia, and had purposefully cut themselves off from the wider galactic community. The reason why the pirates suddenly discovered metroids prior to Metroid 1 was through Mother Brain, she's a biomechanical AI created by the Zebes Chozo, who directly worked on the metroid project itself, remotely from Zebes, the metroids were a joint project between the SR388 colony and the established home world of Zebes. The Zebes Chozo were wiped out by Space Pirates following Mother Brain defecting to the pirates, having lost faith in her creators, seeing herself as superior, this left Mother Brain as the only being in the galaxy who knew that metroids even existed, aside from Raven Beak and Quiet Robe who were trapped on ZDR.

Of course, and thank you so much! The next video is right around the corner :)
