It's stated in the manga that ridly can regenerate by eating flesh, so I'm assuming that purple skin is his fresh skin, and greyish skin is skin he's had for a while, seeing as how it's been years between when ridley attacked samus's home world, and when samus zero mission took place.
Seeing Ridley fully realized in 3D for Smash Ultimate was the single coolest reveal for the game in my opinion. It’s a flawless combination of all of his best traits from past designs, and just being able to play as him at all is fantastic. I remember back when I was a little kid thinking he was a secret playable character in Melee because of the opening movie, and I’ve wanted that ever since.
Fun fact: It's been theorized that the Ridley models in Prime 3 were originally supposed to be reversed, since Meta Ridley appears to be coated in Phazite plating, while Omega Ridley just has the traditional metal colors. If true, the switch was probably done to show the effect Phazon had on his body better, which I think was the right call.
Given how different the Ridley Clone from Other M is from the rest of Ridley’s other incarnations, my best guess is that when the scientists cloned the genetic material from Samus’s suit, Ridley’s DNA got contaminated with the other Space Pirates DNA, resulting in his new appearance.
i wanna believe that this is the natural life cycle of ridleys species. starting off as a cute-looking thing that's waiting for no-one to be looking at him or his soon to be victim.
It's completely an art style change. Fusion's art style was the same as Super, and his appearance there was the super sprite when frozen until he gets taken by the X. He still looks closer to the original body than the other M one, same as how Samus looks completely different in that game as well.
I actually have an idea for how Ridley could be involved in Prime 4. That being that Sylux has a similar backstory to Samus and the catalyst behind his backstory is Ridley.
I was about to dock this video 2 points for the godzilla earth and old meta ridley slander, but god damn it a fellow anguirus enjoyer is hard to come by.
Great video! I've been trying to get into Metroid after years of using maining Ridley and even more maining Samus in Smash Bros, but the Prime Remaster just felt a little too clunky with its controls and Dread didn't even have Ridley, which is pretty lame even with the addition of Ravenbeak. I'll probably be trying Samus Returns next, as I also am waiting for Prime 2 and 3 remakes for Switch eventually.
Bold move saying anything negative about any design, considering I do believe he WAS confirmed to canonically be your husband in the "This was a mistake" video.
9:37 for reason 1 (could slip into 2 as well, but I agree somewhat the mouth just doesn't work right), i offer this rebuke: Genetic experementation. To relate my arguement, look towards Pokemon's Mew and Mewtwo. Clone of mew, yet looks vastly different, even with a few similarities.
@reptisaurusking8494 I'm focusing on the imago forms, but I'll have intermissions that'll basically be rapid fire rankings of her larva and fairy/mini forms. Also Leo designs will be included
I would’ve put clone Ridley lower, I’m with you that his weird flat beak look like a duck rather then a predatory animal, and frankly, his tail spear feels over designed in my opinion, in fact “over designed” sums up my feelings towards this Ridley overall, I don’t like the buff look, personally I or ever a more spindly scavenger look as I feel that fits his role as a pirate better.
O my space Godzilla what happened to you ridely. Looks like you got in a fight with one of the Kong’s. they tried to do old great ancestors Kong’s infamous jaw snapping technic and he didn’t do it right. At least he didn’t throw him off a log send him crashing to the ground inside a giant raven at the bottom. Lol
I think ridley in prime 3 looks dopey. Other M is still the worst imo. Proteus ridley looks badass but is completely shoehorned into the game. How did it take the entire prime trilogy for him to get rid of the metal parts plus samus returns after 3 more destructive encounters with Samus and is immediately 100% organic at the beginning of super? Again, sick design but yeesh
Yea I personally didnt like Ridley in SR either. Felt too much like fanservice for the sake of fanservice and pales in comparison to the OG ending of Metroid II imo. There being nothing to fight anymore once you get the Larva was intentional ambience in OG. Now its ruined by a boss for the sake of Fanservice. Though I already wasnt too fond of SR.

Yeah my boi Ridley
I see ridley as a pure evil dragon like mad scientist, technology master, robotic,
weaponery builder and engineer
I don’t remember this monster in any godzilla movies
9:26 difference of weapon can really change things up.
I was about to dock this video 2 points for the godzilla earth and old meta ridley slander, but god damn it a fellow anguirus enjoyer is hard to come by.
Whenever Ridley’s not on screen, people should be going “WHERE’S RIDLEY?”
The melee Kraid is also pretty cursed
The Manga says the Motherbrain glass is Zebetite.

Even the Chozo Statue Miniboss had it

All couples get into fights sometimes
@@radladstudios Is RIddles McSkittles good with criticism?
@@emrickazor2610 He's the worst with it
@@radladstudios At least you can acknowledge one another's flaws. Relationship goals.
I really I really want Ridley to return to prime 4 because he is the best villain in any other nitendo game and he needs to be more loved
If Prime 3 gets a remaster, Omega Ridley will stand tall as the best Ridley of them all.

Honestly, that would make sense, but his corpse showing up in Fusion and looking identical to how it did in Super shoots a hole in that theory.
Thb, I have only played the og, I just subbed for Godzilla.
We need a "Samus Suits from worst to best"
Mothra is next, how would you tackle her, are you also planning on including Leo and his multitude of different forms
@reptisaurusking8494 I'm focusing on the imago forms, but I'll have intermissions that'll basically be rapid fire rankings of her larva and fairy/mini forms.

@@radladstudios8/10 this vid was pretty great
@@radladstudiosafter that do you think you could rank all of Godzillas children and baby forms( such as kamatakun and filius

Other m Ridley is the best. He looks genuinely scary and imposing.
Next time, the Queen of the Monsters herself, Mothra. 👑 🦋
I can't wait.
What’s the point of having the bell icon if it’s not going to notify me when a video is posted
My faves are brawls meta ridley and zero misions
I think Ridley will return to prime 4 but this time he was cloned but just like the Metroids in other m he was stripped of his weakness plasma
other m ridley is literally the only good part about other m.
yes. this includes when he's smol.
next my girl mothra
woah.
I’m gonna god your zilla
Hey! This one isn't even about Godzilla! smh
@@radladstudios I’m gonna Rid your ley
What about Ridley Scott
Probably above Captain N Ridley, but none of the others. Never understood why they decided to make Ridley Scott a human instead of a space dragon.
