person: but it’s canon
me: yes, but it’s very badly written, so we ignore it
ok i can feel the angER TAKING OVER NOW
other m was a special case here because the creators of other m literally came out and said “so our game is coming out and is canon and you know what isn’t canon? metroid prime.” and then went ahead and even wrote in a retcon of samus’s back story to make sure metroid prime definitely didn’t happen. not sure why they did that but lets consider the fact that retro studios made the best damn metroid game since super and fucking owned it.
fuck this game and fuck the egotistical piece of shit project lead of this garbage
dont forget, it basically retcons the fuck out of every metroid game that isn’t itself
the only one it doesn’t retcon is metroid fusion
