    I think the manga was really good and really made me feel for Samus. It's worth reading. I kinda dislike that you titled it the way that you did but I guess I understand for clicks. Still, 'Why You Should Read the Metroid Manga' would've worked just as well.

    I haven't read this manga in years, but I certainly remember really liking it. And now that I'm older and a bit more experienced with Metroid, I can appreciate it all the more; Samus' past, her relationship with Ridley, a look into her relationship with Adam. It all made me appreciate Other M all the more.

    If the NCU ever becomes more than just speculation, I think a near direct adaptation of the manga/Metroid 1 would make for a perfect movie. I'm not so sure about most of the other games where it's just Samus wordlessly exploring planets with the occasional fight, but her origin story is a perfect fit. Also, spread the awareness of just what kind of monster Ridley really is.

      Like her sprite standing perfectly still in Super Metroid was masterful environmental storytelling about how plain STOIC Samus is, and actually is super glad she gets to be there to take names and kick ass for The Federation, galaxy's ultimate force for good.
