Metroid Series Explained (in twelve minutes)

[@kirbyx2573]

The fact that Ridley is incredibly smart as shown in the manga and can talk honestly makes him way more terrifying. Would have been cool to have that in a game in my book.

[@MeloniestNeon]

Imagine Ridley comes back as this gigantic dragon that just stalks around and sizes up Samus, all while giving the most devastating and terrifying villain speech and talking for the first time in the games, only to be promptly blown up for the dozenth time

What would be funnier is if Ridley was not just intelligent but 200 IQ, just imagine a 30 foot giant pterodactyl thing that just starts saying “Hello my good sir my name is Ridley Wraith Ridlingham I do inquire what are you up to in the location of planet we call Zebes? “

[@saellanya]

I guess the cloning process is, indeed, just cloning. As such, all the Ridleys we fight are, to put simply, babies. Possibly more advanced mentally than a real baby with the help of some accelerated mental development tools during the clone accelerated growth, but still far from a naturally developed mind. It make sense that Ridley is a raging beast during games.

[@omegraptorch3624]

6:57 I find it important to note that Samus' suit is NOT fused with her body, she just couldn't take it off while unconscious, which led the doctors to remove parts of it leaving her with the fusion suit. The fusing with her body thing seems to be a translation issue, because it's literally not mentioned in the original japanese version (nor in the german localisation for that matter). This is also proven by her literally being a normal looking human in both the death animation in Fusion and Dread, as well as the ending screen, where she is wearing the crop top and shorts.

[@brandonwithnell612]

yeah i think its more of a self defence feature that the doctors had to forcibly bypass to save her which in turn destroyed large chunck of her suit. since the suit itself is partially biomatter it was healing itself in fusion giving it that pulsating texture, then in dread it was mostly healed by then looking more like exposed muscel fibre

[@Joel0000101]

never thought of it that way that it is healing itself, explains the looks a lot better now

[@MorganSaph]

It's not fused to her, but it is linked to her dna. Which is why the X parasite was able to regrow the missing parts and replicate the suit. Also, I think it's possible that, when powered on, the suit does fuse with her body in some way, given the Morphball exists.

[@glassmaw_]

There is an ending in Fusion that shows her with some weird growths on her arms. Not sure if it was part of her Zero suit but i think there were implied mutations from the Metroid DNA. Amazing game!

[@ians_parks]

Not gonna lie, I fully believed as a kid on my initial playthrough that her suit had actually fused with her body as a result of the X infection and was under the impression she was irreversely scarred under the suit. Kind of like Deadpool.

[@DuskyPredator]

I think worth mentioning is that "metroid" is meant to be the Chozo word for warrior, so Samus as a warrior of the Chozo was befitting of the word and for it to be the series name. Extra info that the Chozo are hinted to also had a bit of an evil empire history themselves. In general the series kind of has a thing of groups being shady for more power.

On top of this, The Baby (whether confirmed by Nintendo or not, it's a headcanon of mine at least) is THE "Super Metroid" (Ik it's just because it was on the SNES which is why it was called Super Metroid but still) and since Samus was injected with its DNA, she is the Super Metroid now, which is a nice thing to know

[@jonathanodude6660]

the purple energy is fuel for the suit. in fusion she hunted and consumed x parasites for her body to the point which they feared her, evolved countermeasures, then eventually threw everything they had at her before ignoring her for the bigger threat of the return of the metroids. speculatively, since they were explained as a hive mind, its possible that they knew they were safe on other planets (see: dread) and needed to ensure no metroids made it off SR388, which is why they enlisted samus's help.

Yes she started becoming more human and began caring about the Metroids and started speaking out against the scientists. The Scientists instead of acknowledging her as an individual decided nah we gotta stop that free thinking stuff and tried to reprogram her which set off the whole situation.

Also, you forgot to mention that Raven Beak is also Samus' surrogate father by donating his DNA to infuse, and also he massacred the Thoha Chozos in SR388 prior to the events of Metroid 1, which he indirectly responsible for all of this Metroid and X Parasites mess in the first place, which gave attention to the Federation and the Space Pirates.

I really like your art style! I feel a Metal Gear timeline video would be fun.

[@Jangobadass]

I just LOVE all the expressions for Samus...even with her helmet on!

[@jonathanblackwell9248]

How many of you clicked on the video because of the title card?

[@crcham]

Me

[@mylesjlee]

That was a lot of fun! Thanks for making the time and effort to entertain fans of this wonderful series.

[@ChaseKip]

Thanks! Glad you like it

[@blurrydawgo5403]

Some games/series I think would be interesting for you to cover: - Chrono Trigger (you decide if you wanna go full Cross or not) - Star Fox (another Nintendo series, just say you dunno where it'll go next) - Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (a very underrated and rare DS game, it's best to play it via an emulator, has a LOT of interesting story stuff to talk about that you will definitely not be expecting, the RPG Monger did a video on it last year) - Asura's Wrath (another CC2 game, may be fun) - The World Ends With You (very much up your alley) - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (see if ya like it)

[@willlauzon3744]

I liked Samus from the captain N comic. She was top babe there and outshined the princess.

[@CAPAE]

I am eagerly awaiting that full connected timeline of Fire Emblem as connected by Awakening and going through Engage.

[@ChaseKip]

I've played about 3/4ths of the FEs but Ive never looked real into how they connect to eachother besides the obvious Fe7-6 ones. That could make a good video i'll keep that in mind

[@timeforgottenprince8271]

With Nintendo having released LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom, I wonder if they will make a Metroid game where, instead of Samus kicking ass in her usual Power Suit, she kicks ass in her Zero Suit, and not have it be like Metroid Zero Mission where you have to run and hide from the Space Pirates. I know we all wished for it at some point: getting to run around in third person view while solving puzzles and destroying aliens left and right with Samus out of her Power Armor.

[@IncorporationXII]

1:18 kinda surprised no one seems to have mentioned the fact that the enemy demonstrating the x parasite ability turns into an alpha metroid

[@FireallyXTheories]

Alternative title: "Metroid: A Tale of Repetitive Physical Amnesia"

[@Arcterran]

TFW Prime 4 was what pushed me over the edge to buy a switch and I still dont have it. At least Dread was a banger.

[@ChaseKip]

I'm sorry for your loss... hopefully Prime 4 will come out in the Switch era

[@mottdropsie]

​@ChaseKip thankfully Nintendo is still willing to pull a Breath of the Wild.

[@justelias7615]

10:12 this aged beautifully with the new trailer of Metroid Prime 4

[@redgaming-nq9dx]

One thing you forgot to mention is that samus is also part warrior chozo dna (from raven beak) so her dna is basically just a rainbow colored ball of yarn at this point

[@RaReVapory]

So glad your back doing more of these they are looking better then ever. I would love to see a Luigi’s mansion one haha

[@Alias_Anybody]

1. The original Ridley actually died in Super, right? Other M had a clone (?) who for some reason was just as pissed as the original and Fusion had just an X copy created from the corpse. 2. You never mentioned Adam's brain being copied into the Federation computer system, which is kind of an important plot point for Fusion and Dread.

[@isauldron4337]

About point 1: Ridley's pure evil He needs little reason to hate Point 2: this video is poorly researched

[@BoyaClimbs]

Animations look really slick, you’ve leveled up

[@thelizard7706]

the infection did not cause her suit to fuse with her body. It is mystically linked to her, and thus has no natural openings like a normal suit of armour since she can summon and relinquish it at will as seen in zero mission.

[@robertwyatt3912]

This is also why she can just sorta touch random objects to upgrade her suit.

[@foximus5231]

Just because people are liking this and I want to spread correct information, samus gets infected during the intro sequence to fusion, and fusion comes much later than zero mission, since zero mission is a remake of metroid 1, so this is outright misinformation.

[@LunaBit985]

I think you miss read the comment, I think he is correcting the video at 7:00 where he says "the X parasite's infection caused her suit to be fused to her body." thelizard was just pointing out that the suit was always part of her, as metroid fusion says something like "the suit couldn't be removed while I was unconscious" not anything about the parasite keeping it on her@@foximus5231

[@zacharyrusch312]

The animation is so funny and so cute! I love Metroid and is a childhood favorite. My initials being ZDR same as the planet in Metroid Dread is icing on the cake for me. I can’t believe how little I of the lore I knew of this franchise. Dark Samus being a metroid makes so much sense! I was always confused about what dark samus was

[@jarlhenrik]

10:11 They were in fact cooking up something with Sylux, namely as the seemingly main antagonist of Prime 4: Beyond :p

[@anejat629]

Actually, SAX isn't technically Samus' suit pieces; it's made of actual organic matter from the suit's structure and Samus' genome.

[@MasterChief11700]

I need all this samus art in this video

[@TheSixteen60]

Fun Fact: Other M has a PEGI 16 rating in Europe, making it the only Nintendo game to ever have it. And mind you, PEGI 16 is equivalent to M in the ESRB used in the US.

[@mufasa9910]

0:49 thats to ducking adorable

[@pitioti]

Being a Metroid Fan is really a big rollercoaster ! I feel bad for y'all ! This video genuinly helped me better understand the lore ! Thank you !

[@funnybones46]

Metroid prime 4 is back boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it looks like it might be in between prime three and the last pure Metroid

[@Jarrett118]

4 months later.... Metroid Prime 4 appears....

[@jabloogi2057]

11:45 and he was right

[@peter_pinguin]

How right you were about the last part! Seems like the wait will be worth it! ;)

[@unsalty6696]

Skyrim has pretty vast lore! I bet lots of gamers my age have played at least one game of it

[@Eatr987]

Metal gear solid lore , mostly because you have a nice talent of summarizing the most convoluted games (final fantasy, this one(Metroid) Kirby.) into 10-20 minute videos. Either way , good job chase

[@chrisonic241]

Incredible video as always, I hope you can explain the story of Golden sun one day, the style of the characters fit very well.

[@joshuamogle8819]

Samus has basically became Cell from DBZ... and since Lucario is Goku, that means Lucario vs Samus in Smash Bro's is Goku v Cell all over again...

[@e2011ugdia]

You forgot metroid prime pinball and metroid prime hunters

[@NtcPedroPeterNews]

The art is really charming, thanks for the vid!

[@ChaseKip]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@lydialittlejohn7873]

METROID PRIME 4 IS ANNOUNCED BOYS

[@kirbyultrasmash6640]

A few series suggestions that I hope you may cover some time soon: -Tales Of Series (Starting with Phantasia/Symphonia) -Star Ocean (It has connections to the Tales series for various reasons/Cover The Second Story first as it IS the best Star Ocean entry) -Valkyrie Profile -Hyperdimension Neptunia -Grandia 1 (Dreamcast/PS1 RPG) -Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast/Gamecube RPG) -Golden Sun -Arc Rise Fantasia (A very underrated Wii RPG and a great one; just bear through the voice acting if you do this one) -Magical Vacation/Starsign (Another very underrated GBA/DS game) -Touhou (Whichever one you want to start with) -Rayman -Shantae -Xenogears (The game that started the whole Xeno series) -Baiten Kaitos (Also made by Monolith) -Ys (Similar to Zelda, but massively different) -Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel -Legend of Legaia (Underrated PS1 RPG) -Legend of Dragoon (One of the Best PS1 RPGs) -Danganronpa (This one will take you for a ride) -Nier Automata -Devil May Cry -Metal Gear Rising: Vengeance (Making the mother of all omelets here, Chase! Can't fret over ever egg!) -Bomberman -Mystical Ninja Goemon -Castlevania -Kingdom Hearts -The World Ends With You -The Denpa Men Sorry for the long list, but I hope you consider some of them!

[@bredoffender]

Man, have i been waiting for this video. I love your content, and finally seeing a video on what is basically my favourite game series ever is amazing. The style is great as always, and the fact that you always add little bits of humor instead of just explaining what goes down while also keeping them relatively short always makes your videos uniquely enjoyable. This is great, have a good day Chase

[@kaikayy]

Prime 4 coming 2025, only took them 8 years so time to make an update video then

[@ChaseKip]

I still cant believe its real

[@sangheilicommander1056]

Rejoice Metroid prime 4 official trailer is here!. Also I didn't know fusion was so far in the timeline. I just played it as a kid and loved it. Time to revisit.

[@Dgdgeg69]

T H E A D U L T. 5:21

[@UwU_69420]

Hi Ellie didn’t know you made a comment until now(edit: give it up for 9 likes🎉

[@sanosu529]

FF9 was 4 years ago, FF7 was 2 years ago, sounds like time for FF8 to keep up the biyearly streak.

[@videogamer678]

6:22 The game with teh X Parasites was Metroid Fusion on the GBA, not Metroid Samus Returns. That game is a remake of Metroid 2 on the Gameboy with the same title of Samus Returns.

[@neutral6234]

r/Woosh

[@Wilfoe]

I never got into the Metroid series, but it's good to know the lore. Thanks for this video!

[@the_beans_man1524]

0:02 seconds in and this vid is already great

[@TechMage299]

I liked the nuances in fusion the most. The first metroid game (i played) where samus spoke and actually had opinions about things. Not to mention how the X was able to multiply so there were multiple SA-X onboard. And then the SA-X sacrifice for samus which doesnt make sense to this day but whatever. Also the canonizations of the eticoons and dracoras

[@realCharaO]

4:19 who's gonna tell him?

[@JAYIQ-ip6bd]

About what?

[@dawidksiadz-hp7wd]

I actually never played Banjo-Kazooie (except for a little of Nuts & Bolts), but it would be cool to see the series in one of your videos. It doesn't have that many games or convoluted plotlines and i think it deserves some recognition.

[@ButCritically]

the art is going HARD now
