Something I love about Hunters and Corruption is like

Up to this point, across five 2D games and two 3D ones, we knew that Samus was a bounty hunter. And if you actually read the NES manual, it specifically called bounty hunters out as being A Big Deal, the best way the Federation had to fight back against the space pirates before their own military was established, and still important enough to call on for the most serious cases now. But Samus still kinda existed in a vaccuum.

(Technically the Super Metroid comic had one, but he was just a big guy who had a blue chozo powersuit of his own for some reason, to my understanding.)

So it's really cool to see what kind of people are the closest things Samus has to peers now, and I like how varied they are. I've already gone on my big ramble about how the Hunters cast feel like toonami show action figures, and how much I sincerely love that about them. But I also wanna give some love to the Corruption trio too, who really embody that variety, and that idea of these like, Big Name powerhouses who operate outside of typical factional structures and don't fit any existing molds. They aren't Samus, but they are still people who you'd wince at seeing hired by the other side and be relieved to see on yours, people who take their briefings directly from fleet admirals.

Also something I appreciate about all of them? All aliens. I wish we'd see more of the Federation as the multi-species coalition the NES manual painted it as, but at least that spirit is still kept in an indirect sense with all nine of the other Hunters introduced so far. (I guess technically Sylux is an unknown, but still.) Wish I could sneak back in time and get @kosmonauttihai hired at Retro Studios circa 2005ish to implement that great Gandrayda redesign, though. But still!

colored headshot commission by @beidak-art! truly the closest I've come to a comfort character :)

More than 16 years later, this design still absolutely fucks.

Aside from the pretty colors, it’s also really effective body horror: The glowing, electric blue Phazon seeping through every seam in Samus’ PED Suit clearly conveys that her body is being corrupted and mutated from the inside out… and what’s under the armor may no longer be human at this point.

the family soap opera that is the Metroid series

Zero Mission - Samus returns home for the first time since leaving for the military academy all those years ago and really gets into it with her mother. Mom has gotten super alt-right while Samus was away and thing escalate to a physical confrontation with Mother and the bad crowd she's fallen in with.

Samus Returns - Samus, having cut off her family, is traveling and cleaning up her Mother's mess, and ends up adopting the newborn daughter of one of the unsavory types that Samus had to deal with while there.

Super Metroid - Samus' mom goes crazy grandma mode and kidnaps her newborn daughter. Samus has to travel home once again and deal with Mother and her shitty friends again, and some new ones that have moved in in the meantime. They've proven a bad influence on the kiddo, and three generations of strong independent women come to blows by the end of things.

Metroid: Other M - Mother cleans up her act and gets a job caretaking for kids of her granddaughter's ethnicity displaced by military conflicts. This, unfortunately, brings her into conflict with (a corrupt faction within) the military, who want to use the kids for their own nefarious ends. Samus gets involved and, unexpectedly, so does her estranged step-father. More family drama ensues, with both mom and dad done in by the end.

Metroid Fusion - or not! Samus once again comes to odds with the military that used to employ her, as they hire her work a shift at her absent daughter's homeland. But, surprise surprise, that corrupt faction of the military is once again trying to take advantage of her daughter's people, and Samus is now in the thick of it. To top it all off, they've assigned her a keeper... her step-dad, back from the dead! Heartfelt discussions, changes of heart, and revelations of Samus' heritage ensue.

Metroid Dread - Samus and step-dad, still working together, run afoul of a plot by Samus' bio-father, who doesn't respect her pronouns and wants her to follow in his militant and despotic footsteps. Samus has a thing or three to say about this.

Metroid Prime, Echoes, and Corruption - (in its original timeline slot) a decade on, Samus' daughter never quite shook free from the bad influence of the folks her grandmother's former shitty friends, and is now going through a rebellious goth phase. Samus Junior, now calling herself "Dark" Samus, fell in with that same shady crowd, but has since taken over their whole operation! Now at odds, Samus strives to set her daughter right, tracking her down and cleaning up her messes.

Recently been thinking about Ridley having a plasmic aura with some his attacks in Ultimate. Like he can channel it wherever and not just the plasma breath...make his attacks extra deadly and stuff...

He has an attack in his SR fight where he charges an electrical surge at his hand before he swipes. I imagine it would work similar to that.

Also him grabbing someone's face and burning it is such a Ridley thing...

saw someone point out how Samus' gunship refuses her entry at the end of Corruption because it doesn't even recognize her as Samus and ough. OUGHHH

I like to think of another universe, maybe a future in our own, where Metroid gets an animated series adapting the game arcs, while having episodic stories both between and even as a part of said arcs. And some of those episodes are about Samus individually meeting fellow hunters Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda; With these stories culminating in all four teaming up together for a challenging mission that they barely succeed in. Cue the four celebrating together, becoming good friends as Samus gets some actual happiness and new connections.

So while most of the fandom, the newcomers, are posting fluff and fanart and HCs, veterans who know what happens next are just spamming memes like:
