i think we as a society need to come together and admit that metroid prime isnt that good. its bosses are trivial and tedious, its backtracking is far worse than any other metroid game up to that point. its got that chunk of padding where you gotta collect the chozo artifacts thats like the wind waker triforce shard hunt but even worse. and the final boss is so goddamn boring. bosses where all you gotta do is wait for minutes on end until it does the one thing that can make it vulnerable because its completely immune to all of your attacks unless you stand in a pool of phazon that he himself spawns is just bad boss design. it takes the worst elements of nintendo bosses and cranks it up to 11.

look at this boy. hed be like “what! ever! youre not my real mom!” when samus asks him to do his laundry

You know, if metroid was new in the current videogame climate, Gamers™ would throw a massive bitch fit at the reveal that samus is a girl.
