Metroid Theory.
You don't play as Samus in Other M.
You play as her clone.
The entire thing is out of character for Samus. It all happens on a research station where the Federation is cloning everything. The bad guy is a human clone that looks more like Samus than the doctor that allegedly supplied the DNA.
Her suit's Chozo tech, not federation, why would she let them place remote locks on all the functions?
The only explanation that makes any sense is that the Federation cloned Samus as well and gave her info that they scanned from her after the events of super metroid, then tried to regress her back to a mental state where she'd be willing to listen to her old CO(who might also be a clone).
All of this makes sense and kind of HAS to be true.
In the opening of Fusion, she states that her dealing with her new ADAM computer is the second time she's had to take orders.
So in canon she has stated that she never experienced the events of Other M.
So that part's pretty provable, but the next part's speculation...
Samus would surely know if there was another one of her running around hunting bounties, wouldn't she?
The Federation knows that, and didn't want her to just Samus it up. They want an extra Samus on hand in case they need her and the original won't take on a mission for them. So most of her time has to be spent in cryogenic freezing, probably on a space station specializing in biological research with Space Federation ties, right...?
The federation says that after they cut off most of her suit (literally just the parts with all her suit abilities, mind you) the X parasite just sort of grew a new Samus inside of itself.
But the main plot of Fusion is that the Federation lies. All the time. I think the X parasite took over everything on the station, including a frozen Samus clone, and that's what became the SA-X.
In Fusion, Samus describes SA-X as like her, but without her humanity. That sounds like people's issues with Samus in Other M.
Weird Al Yankovic Song Tier List
Proof that Weird Al doesn't need to use others' musical framework to create something amazing and hilarious. These are sometimes referred to as "Style Parodies", but the same could be true of 99% of music on the planet.
A+ Tier: Song parodies that reference the artist
Examples: Smells like Nirvana, Perform that Way
Demonstrating Weird Al's love of music and understanding of the genres and bands he parodies, these songs are the most greatly enhanced by at least a cursory understanding or appreciation of the original artist. These songs don't just make you want to hear the original, they make you want to hear the victim's entire discography.
A Tier: Polka remix compilations
Examples: Alternative Polka, Polka Your Eyes Out
Al's polkas make everyone question what is and isn't good about a number of songs by taking the best parts of dozens of popular songs, boiling away all but the most fundamental aspects and refilling it with polka. An accordion should not be this catchy or versatile, but Weird Al somehow pulls it off.
B Tier: Song parodies that present an antithetical take on the song
Examples: Amish Paradise, White and Nerdy
Being a Weird Al tier list, the average song of his would have to fall on the C-level, and these song parodies are by default a step above because of their nature. These songs often have a much broader appeal than the original as they break down the elements that make them ridiculous and call out to an audience that might not otherwise appeal to the subject matter of the original songs.
C Tier: Most Parodies
Examples: Fat, The Saga Begins
I'm not calling most of his songs crap. Remember that a tier list is a comparative ranking, so most of his songs are placed squarely in the middle, where they belong. Still, these songs are strong enough that many people will pick one of them as their favorites, but that often comes down to enjoying the tune of the original.
D-Tier: Story Ballads
Examples: Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, Albuquerque
These songs are often just long stories, which, while entertaining, don't have the sort of energy you normally hear from Weird Al. Their biggest issue is their length. You can hear three or four other songs in the time it takes you to listen to Albuquerque once.
F-Tier: Food Parodies
Examples: Girls Just Want to Have Lunch, My Bologna
Weird Al himself got sick of these songs, and later on he was basically forced to do them by his record label to fill an album with nothing but. Don't make him keep doing them if he's not enjoying himself. Girls Just Want to Have Lunch in particular just feels uncomfortable to listen to as he performs it almost vindictively.
Smash Theory (Spoilers)
In the first game, the child is 9 and imagines these toy statues to be fighters that he smashes into each other until his parents, represented by Master Hand, tell him to clean up his toys.
In Melee, which came out 2 years later, the child is 11 and his imagination has developed to make the playtime more complex, but things still go basically the same way, them wanting to play against their parents' wishes to clean up.
Crazy Hand is the representation of the child's own playful and spontaneous nature but also of chaos while Master Hand is a symbol of order. Brawl is a 2008 game, and takes place when the child's 18. In that one, he's less concerned with what his parents tell him about structuring his playtime and more worried that he can't take his beloved toys with him when he goes off to college.
He thinks that the other young adults wouldn't approve of him having a bunch of kids' playthings in his room, and thus in the alternate dimension where his fears are enacted out in a realm where his toys have lives of their own, the villain is literally just a respelled "Taboo", as in, "others won't let me do this" and the statuefied fighters are representative of the child's wanting to tell those around him that they're just collectibles without the personal meaning he's given to each of them.
4 is in 2014, which would put the kid at age 24. It doesn't have a world-threatening storyline because in the previous game the kid figured out that he doesn't need to care about what other people think and at this point he has his life pretty together.
In Ultimate, he is having a kid of his own and is internally struggling with his desires to abandon his wife and keep playing with toys forever and his sense of duty to stop playing with toys and focus all his energy on creating a safe and stable home for the child.
Guess what?
Let me be clear, Dwight.
I know that it was you that tried to SWAT me.
I know that you've been running some weird hate group for three years and you're still trying to recruit anyone you think might have some dirt on me.
Leave my friends alone. If you want to talk about what you did, go ahead and message me, but you're not going to get what you want by acting like a creepy obsessive.
