I like to think of Meta Ridley as a kind of Darth Vader, wearing a cybernetic body cast. Once Ridley's organic body was fully healed, he shed his cast and was back to normal, just in time for Super Metroid.
Fun fact, Meta Ridley was originally going to be in MP2 Echoes as a boss but was cut due to time constraints. The creators have concept arts and ideas for him too. Can you guys imagine him getting possessed by the Ing and turned into Dark Meta Ridley? Would have made for an interesting battle.
Judging from the concept art, I don't think he would have been possessed by the ing and instead he would be wearing the dark suit and Samus would have gotten it from him.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that (at 02:14) the "aggressive" is referring to the body modifications / improvements, similar to how you'd use "invasive" in relation to a surgery. I don't think they meant to say that Ridley itself was being aggressive towards the medic team
Not just the games but also the manga too. However, in the Manga, it does explain that Ridley has regenerative abilities by ingesting people, similar to the Jeepers Creepers monster. Ridley was able to survive the explosion on K2-L, which nearly vaporized him, by eating the corpses of Samus' mother (or what's left of her), the other dead colonists, and dead space pirates, just enough to escape the planet, and took many years to fully recover. Later on, Ridley was nearly vaporized by Samus in the manga during her Zero Mission via the Plasma Beam with a "death" which resembled the game. Canonically though, he does survive.
My theory. By the end of the Metroid series(Other M and Fusion.) one of the main plot points is the existence of cloning technology. Maybe cloning technology didn´t exist back in Metroid Zero Mission and the pirates had to resort to cybernetic implants to save Ridley´s life. But by the time of Super Metroid the technology needed to grow back and transplant Ridley´s organic missing parts and replace his cybernetic parts was perfected so that´s why he doesn´t have cybernetic implants in Super Metroid.
I think Ridley has Wolverine/Deadpool healing powers but slower while having consciousness existing in his DNA similar to Zs'Skayr (Ghostfreak) to some degree. He's been reborn, cloned and copied and always has maintained the same level of violence and cruelty, now you can say that might just be the nature of his species and that maybe true to a point since Ridley's kind is a complete mystery for me and maybe everyone else, yet Ridley is still able to distinguish the difference between "Friend" The space pirates and foe Samus and the Galactic Federation. I think Neo Ridley from Fusion Metroid did died yet there might be another Ridley coming from another place.
I always saw him more like General Grievous from Star Wars. Both are cyborg military leaders with weak points in their chest/heart. But now that you bring up Darth Maul they are also similar in that Maul keeps getting defeated and yet keeps surviving and coming back just like Ridley. Plus yea both are again cyborgs.
I mention that in the Robot Ridley video, but yeah it's theorize the robot ridley parts and designs were used for meta Ridley cause they both have similar attacks and weak points
You have to also understand that nintendo messed up the continuity of the metroid franchise and often they don't know what the hell they're doing. People also have to remember that even if Ridley is completely destroyed like cell from dragon ball Z he can completely regenerate. It was either in the manga at some point where he says after he killed Samus' parents and destroyed the colony that he fed off of the dead cells of others or foes, maybe even friends. Does Ridley need an actual spaceship to fly in space? No! Evidence is that Ridley is not always robotic and usually is mostly organic except for the times when they do augment him after a defeat. I'm pretty sure that at the beginning of Super Metroid did Ridley not leave Ceres Station without a spaceship? If said space dragon is not flying around space I'm going to find it rather boring. So just needed to add that nintendo tends to screw things up a lot.
Any game that features Metroids that are in the hands of non-Galactic Federation groups, like Space Pirates, are almost always going to be between Metroid and Metroid II since Metroid II deals with the extermination of the Metroid species and every game since would have some warmonger trying to bring the Metroids back from the brink of extinction through the last Metroid.

Can You do a the complete history of ridley?
If Ridley could talk he'd probably say "YOU DID THIS TO ME SAMUS!"
To be fair in the metronidazole Zero mission prequel manga, he does talk.
He can talk lel
@@milddiffuse yeah...he can...in the Canon manga...
Well he can. It would just kind of ruin his scare factor if we can actually hear him talk. We know he can, just in the games never does

Dark Meta Ridley would be so cool to see! It's a shame he didn't become a thing
@@MetroidTrainer yeah time constraints and stuff so hw was replaced by quadraxis
He'll be badass!
Judging from the concept art, I don't think he would have been possessed by the ing and instead he would be wearing the dark suit and Samus would have gotten it from him.
Ridley is the Loki (MCU) of Nintendo. He always dies but keeps coming back.
Loki only dies once in Norse Mythology...at ragnarok. Unless you're talking about the comic book character, I wouldn't know in that case...
Or the William Afton of nintendo

Meta ridley has looked sick as ever since i saw him in prime
He really does
In the first Metroid game in the series (Both original and Remake) It doesn't look like Ridley got badly wounded, it looks like he exploded and died.
With stuff like that, it can really only be explained by game logic
Not just the games but also the manga too. However, in the Manga, it does explain that Ridley has regenerative abilities by ingesting people, similar to the Jeepers Creepers monster. Ridley was able to survive the explosion on K2-L, which nearly vaporized him, by eating the corpses of Samus' mother (or what's left of her), the other dead colonists, and dead space pirates, just enough to escape the planet, and took many years to fully recover.

I never thought of Ridley being restrained, great video man I'm binge watching your content; good stuff!
Ayyye thanks :D
Meta Ridley is my favourite incarnation of Ridley. He’s a space dragon pirate cyborg!
I like to think about what all the games Ridleys may look like in continuity. I mean finding a logical explanation. This video was fun. I like it.
Awesome video, this was really well researched and put together!
Fun fact: Chris Sabat, the voice of Vegeta, is Rundas on MP3!
Did we ever get the other Ridley videos? About Omega, Clone and Neo Ridley.
*Terminator ridley*
My theory.
By the end of the Metroid series(Other M and Fusion.) one of the main plot points is the existence of cloning technology.
Maybe cloning technology didn´t exist back in Metroid Zero Mission and the pirates had to resort to cybernetic implants to save Ridley´s life.
But by the time of Super Metroid the technology needed to grow back and transplant Ridley´s organic missing parts and replace his cybernetic parts was perfected so that´s why he doesn´t have cybernetic implants in Super Metroid.
That would be a cool idea. Replacing some of his missing vital organs with cloned replacements could work
Meta Ridley has one of the coolest Boss fight theme remixes in the entire series.
I remember I use to think it was a meh remix, but it really has grown on me where I prefer the meta ridley's theme over the other ridley themes
I feel the strongest Ridley in the series were Meta from MPrime 1 and the one from super metroid.
Meta Ridley for sure is one of the strongest forms, but I think omega Ridley might beat it out
@@MetroidTrainer Neo ridley might take the cake honestly but that's just cause as an x parasite he can cheat and just infect any opponent
You forgot Smash brother Brawl subspace Emissary. All note worthy times were Ridley gets to be his destructive self.
Meta Ridley is my favorite Ridley form and he is one of his skin packs in Smash bros ultimate
They knew how much the people love Mera Ridley
I think Ridley has Wolverine/Deadpool healing powers but slower while having consciousness existing in his DNA similar to Zs'Skayr
(Ghostfreak) to some degree.

I think Neo Ridley from Fusion Metroid did died yet there might be another Ridley coming from another place.
I was binging some of your vids when this vid popped up and I clicked on instinct, not realising you made a new vid XD
Lmao amazing timing 😂
He is the Darth Maul of Metroid
I always saw him more like General Grievous from Star Wars. Both are cyborg military leaders with weak points in their chest/heart. But now that you bring up Darth Maul they are also similar in that Maul keeps getting defeated and yet keeps surviving and coming back just like Ridley. Plus yea both are again cyborgs.
Love the video! Keep it up man :)
Ok I'm probably wrong but what if the Space Pirates used part of the tech used to make Mecha Ridley to create Meta Ridley?
I mention that in the Robot Ridley video, but yeah it's theorize the robot ridley parts and designs were used for meta Ridley cause they both have similar attacks and weak points
@@MetroidTrainer oh that's really cool!
Hey you’re back!
:D
This is great
Hi charB :)
Some day riddly is getting his version of the power suit
Isn't there like a log saying that Ridley has pretty good healing capabilities?
No. The manga states that he can eat flesh to restore injuries
hi humans
Whats Up Metroid Community!
Sup
@@youraveragejoe2 metroid community rise up

Subed you’re contentis really good.
Fusion Ridley is my favourite
Neo Ridley is pretty great
@@MetroidTrainer He also hes pretty screchy too oh btw it Trooper from twitter my friend too :) I tried to connect wih you :)
Lolz never mind. I don't know what place I commented in. I shall watch now.
U were like 5th🤣
@@MetroidTrainer yeah. UA-cam kept lying to me. I only saw one content at first but it said five. When I refreshed it, it showed 3 and said 8 XD
🙄
What if Ridley was once a champion of Chozos, but turned against them?
is Ridley dead by the time of Metroid Fusion?
Technically yeah. He died in Super Metroid. But of course was cloned in Other M and then the clone died and became the neo ridley in fusion
@@MetroidTrainer Ahh right, thank you.
Doesn't prime take place after super metroid
Nah, all the prime games from Prime 1 to Federation Force take place in between Metroid 1 and Metroid 2
No. It has been confirmed that Other M is the direct sequel to Super Metroid.
Any game that features Metroids that are in the hands of non-Galactic Federation groups, like Space Pirates, are almost always going to be between Metroid and Metroid II since Metroid II deals with the extermination of the Metroid species and every game since would have some warmonger trying to bring the Metroids back from the brink of extinction through the last Metroid.
him during the neo-ridley video:
basically it's the clone in other m-
me: *busts through the door* THAT'S WHERE YOUR WRONG BUCKO
Great :) 👍
Prime is canon, sorry John Gaiden
I dont know who John Gaiden is, but yup, prime is canon
