    the last metroid game was some patriarchal bullshit

    that I refuse to acknowledge as anything other than amateur hour writing

    I'm 6'4 and 200lbs. And thats with some extra around the waist. I used to be at 185ish. Skinny sure, but I have never been what could be described as skeletal.

    When I was around 200 lbs though I was skeletal. Not to the point of bones jutting out, but I could reveal my rib cage fairly well if I inhaled deeply. Pants literally did not come in my size at the time except when special-ordered from online, unhemmed. Even then a belt was sometimes used.

    May just be my body type though.

    It puts her BMI at 25, which isn't really skeletal at all.

    BMI is approximate. Depending on how much muscle you have your build can vary widely

    yeah but it's gonna be really hard for anyone with a BMI of 25 to be skeletal, it's on the heavier side of the healthy bmi area

    I just think it's weird to refer to it as "current canon"

    it's only canon for that game, really

    BMI really doesn't work past a certain height.

    Metroid Fusion had plot, and Samus had a healthier relationship with Adam despite Adam actually being her CO's personality used as a template for an AI.

    That is how bad Other M is

    Please don't misunderstand

    I fully expect it to be retconned because it's the Bad Game and it's full of bullshit that made fans go absolutely froth-mouthed insane with rage

    Me more than anyone

    MORE THAN ANYONE

    But the point of the game was very much to "set the record straight" on Samus, and that's where we're at until it's taken off that state

    Assuming you accept a strict Metroid canon in the first place

    Being a 6'3" character in a difficult platformer is more of a blessing than a curse anyway

    The only thing I accept as canon from Other M is that Ridley is voiced by slowbeef

    In any conversation outside of this one I pretend Other M doesn't exist

    I just find it amusing that one of the things they did for her character was cut a foot off of her height

    But I think that's been the intention since Zero Mission

    if I've learned nothing else from reading superhero comics, it's that choosing the canon you like and disregarding the canon you don't is the only way to survive

    Actually let me be fair and say that Other M did get one thing right in adding a pretty cool black guy to the cast, which is something Nintendo as a whole needs. I sincerely wanted Higgs in Smash.

    (also he should be shorter than Samus)

    He has a point.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Even most of japan hasn't actually adopted the ultrashort skirt thing.

    But stylistically it looks good when you're drawing it, and it's great for being able to draw motion and lankiness.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I havent really played the metroid ges so I actually didn't realize Samus was supposed to be extremely tall. That seems like a problem for curling up into a tiny ball.

    It invaildates the Prime games through its portrayals of ridley and the pirates and oddly some of Fusion regarding Adam oh and the Gravity suit isn't series accurate. It's easier to ignore it than try to explain it

    I'm 6'4 and 200lbs. And thats with some extra around the waist. I used to be at 185ish. Skinny sure, but I have never been what could be described as skeletal.

    200lbs is like 90kg. I'm 6'5", and I was only what I would call skeletal when I was around 65-70kg (which I was for a good while, put on some weight now though).

    I think the lesson we should take from this is that the BMI scale is basically rubbish.
