Fridge / Metroid: Zero Mission

• Look at the ending of this game from the Space Pirates perspective. You’re just minding your own business, pirating like normal, when you receive word that your captain was murdered by someone in a suit of armor. You shoot down her ship and steal her armor and weapons, only to have her sneak through your own ship, evading all attempts to kill her. Eventually, everything gets quiet. You think maybe she gave up. Nope. She comes back, with a new suit of armor, and starts killing your crew left and right. She steals the Power Bombs you just found and uses them to blow a hole in one of the interior walls, then she destroys the robot replica of your captain, who she had killed a few hours ago. This sets off the mother ship’s self-destruct function, and she goes and steals one of the few escape vessels you have. Most of your crew is wiped out, your captain is dead, your mother ship is destroyed, and your stuck on Zebes. It’s no wonder the Space Pirates keep trying to kill Samus whenever she shows up.
• With the release of Metroid Dread, comes a genius little detail that ties the MercuryStream Metroids back to this game, even foreshadowing the climax of Dread itself. Remember how, to get the Fully Powered Suit, Samus had to pass the Ruins Test in Chozodia? She had to prove herself in combat against a living mural known as the God of War. A mural designed after a valiant Chozo warrior, that looks noticeably different from both Old Bird and Grey Voice, and appears to be a Mawkin. A Chozo deity that attacks with a lightning power that's seemingly more mystical than scientific. An elite Chozo warrior that tests Samus' might in combat, fully ready to kill her if she fails the test, to determine whether she's worthy of its power. A Mawkin using what appears to be a lightning Aeion, considered a god due to its combat power... sound like anyone we know?
