The Metroid Timeline with Metroid Dread!

[@commonwealthrealm]

Well here we go 27 minutes of Metroid excellence. I have to say Metroid Dread added a lot of depth to an already excellent timeline!

[@jaysonmcclain3075]

Hopefully there will be more timelines including new addition to Kirby next year

[@novustalks7525]

It didn't add much story wise. It brought back the x in a sloppy way. It contradicts established canon

[@Ersb99]

thanks for ur work man

[@novustalks7525]

@o kraid being rescued from zebes by raven beak, the x being written as surviving by infecting the chozo makes no sense because they could have spread to other planets and already taken over the galaxy. They also could have infected the dead federation soldiers on sr388 .
Samus just loses her metroid dna at the end? What's that all about?

@o but why would the x help her?

I don’t know what your talking about meteoids are gone yup totally ;) although to be more serious I’m pretty sure the meteoids went extinct in the wild with Metroid 2 and were in captive with Metroid 3 Super Metroid and Metroid 4 Metroid Fusion

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

You forgot that Ridley never stays dead

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

I like how the games almost always come up with a reason for Samus to lose her upgrades but almost never explains how Ridley is still alive.

[@emilycrow8278]

It does. In Zero Mission, you fight a prototype for Meta Ridley after killing Ridley earlier in the game. Super Metroid, you fight a completed Meta Ridley, having been saved by the space pirates. In Fusion, it's Ridley's corpse being infected by the X Parasite.

[@theakiwar9118]

That’s blatantly false, it is explained. Ridley was heavily injured in Zero Mission, the pirates collected his living remains and cybernetically rebuild his limbs, wings and other parts. He now was referred to as Meta Ridley, when he was beaten in Prime, it took some time for him to recover and he came back as Meta Ridley in Prime 3. due to his Phazon infection he was able to regenerate many parts of his original Body. This Phazon Variant was called Omega Ridley. After Samus beat Omega Ridley he began regenerating massive portions of his body and began shedding his cybernetics off. He got the title Proteus Ridley for being able to cheat death many times. After he was sufficiently regenerated, he went to SR388 to steal a Metroid, fought Samus again and lost his consciousness. During his stay on SR388 he fully shed his metallic implants and was now fully organic again. Shortly thereafter with full strength he attacked Ceres research station, stole the Baby Metroid and went to Zebes. On Zebes he fought Samus one last time and finally died there. He basically fell apart. However when he died small parts of his DNA got on Samus suit
After Zebes exploded, scientists scrubbed Samus suit and stole the DNA on it. With it they cloned many upon many lifeforms from Zebes that Samus has killed there, including something known as little Birdie
As it turns out little Birdie is ridleys species and it swiftly turned into a Ridley. It doesn’t have the memories nor the intelligence of Ridley, but is a clone of him. The clone was killed by a queen Metroid leaving an empty husk, that husk was transported to the BSL research station where it has been kept in cold storage. An X copied its DNA. In sector 1 Samus faced the X clone of Ridleys clone called Neo Ridley. After it’s death no remnants of Ridley remained.
So in conclusion he being able to come back again and again is explained. The original Ridley died in Super Metroid, got cloned by scientists who extracted his DNA from Samua suit died and infected by X.
The one who we really don’t know how tf he returned is Kraid in Dread. He lacks any explanation aside from maybe Mawkin abducting a small Kraid, which is impossible given that the Mawkin where all infected with X and quarantined by Raven Beak

[@matthewgrobel5587]

In the raven beak fight I realized how similar Dread was to Star Wars with raven beak being both the emperor and Darth Vader. Then thought, “if any Nintendo series was to do it it might as well be Metroid.” Then the third phase happened and was simultaneously impressed and feared raven beak because of the cutscene

[@linishatopham1739]

Kraid the hut: I will not give up my favourite decoration. *While looking at a statue of Samus* I like Captain Aran just where she is.

[@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502]

Eh, kind of a surface level similarity. In terms of the darth vader comparison, they are both a big powerful foe that the protagonist looses to at first before later beating later, but that's just a basic storytelling trope. The more obvious comparison, raven beak being samuses "dad", has very little effect on samus, in comparison to how luke has his entire idea of himself shaken up, as the purpose of the reveal is more there for the sake of raven beaks character (him trying to act as if there is some familial relationship between him and samus and that he is responsible for her becoming what she is, when in reality he did nothing but give her a bit of his dna and by all accounts forgot about her till she was useful to him) than samuses. All it really does to samus is just make her even more fucking pissed off at him.
I'm seeing even less for the emperor comparison, super powerful guy who wants to rule the world and/ or galaxy is a common sci fi trope and beyond that I got nothing.

[@cujo1990]

The fact that I beat Super metroid and knowing that the scientists used the baby metroid's dna to save Samus, it felt like the baby saved her one more time which made me more sad.

I don’t think metro dread is the final Metroid game in the timeline. I think it’s just the end of a chapter, the end of an era, And the beginning of a new one

[@BurnerShiro]

That pretty much it. They said it’s the final game in the “Metroid” saga. But there will be more adventures with Samus. I think we won’t see any more X-parasites though. There’s still the thing with his rival taking a metroid though and if I remember correctly, the producer said Samus and Xylex have some type of connection. My guess??? Adam’s younger brother and Samus best friend. Too early to tell though. I love this series

[@Xiko_27]

It's the final game in this 5 game series. BUT we still have the Prime series which I'm still waiting for news about Prime 4 ;-;

[@IamCanadian3333]

That's exactly what Sakamoto had said. It's the end of a saga, but not the end of the series.

[@deritjusxergoritjus3503]

could be that they basically break the metroid prime "triology" with 4 because 4 will play far later maybe even after dread if metroid prime 1,2,3 played before super metroid .

[@D.AblosFamilia]

Metroid/Zero Mission, Metroid II/Samus Returns, Super Metroid, Metroid Other M(yeah, I know, don't get mad at me), Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread all make up the Metroid Saga.
Sakomoto said that the Metroid Saga was complete, but there will be more Metroid games in the future.
The Prime Trilogy falls between Metroid/Zero Mission and Metroid II/Samus Returns, and while Prime 1 is closely tied to the Metroid Saga, the 3 games have a story focused predominantly on Phazon. Possibly 4 will continue this arc(despite Corruption wrapping it up a bit) and we'll see more on it and it'll be it's own Phazon Saga by the time it ends.

[@modernpasta2567]

I personally find the fact that Kraid's in Dread to be absolutely fascinating. It implies that, sometime after Samus defeated him in Super Metroid, before Zebes was destroyed, Kraid was transported off world by *someone*
I just find the idea that Raven Beak could've very well been on Zebes at some point *during* the events of Super Metroid to be so interesting.

Jesus... Yeah, I'm a huge Metroid fan, but when you put all of Samus' achievements side by side like this... it's a fucking miracle that the Galactic Federation hasn't considered her the biggest threat of them all, or something.

[@ReneeSitra]

Imo since she is without question considered a threat to the galaxy after the events of dread, also since she already turned against the federation in fusion, and with the federation becoming more shady with every story. I think her next arc will be her combating the federation.
That seems like the next natural step in her story. Imagine the federation hiring other hunters to try and stop her. I think that would be a wonderful story to tell. They could even try to use the emmi on her.
They already tried to clone metroids once before. Samus is their only source to continue their questionable experiments.

I honestly wish they would retcon Other M with a different story. Especially with the damage it did to Adam as a character; it made him seem like someone willing to use Samus for his own purposes.

[@sspectre8217]

I'm against a full retcon, the localization of that game really hurt the feel of the game and characters. A remake would work pretty well imo, just change some dialog, remove most of the monologues, update the controls, rebalance a few things(like healing and getting ammo from killing enemies instead pointing the remote up).
The one cutscene that they'd need to scrap to make the writing work would be the one in which Adam's brother dies and replace it with one where young Samus actually has some agency and screws up which results in that death which would better explain both her and Adam's behavior towards each other. Also if they didn't forget about the assassin plot thread that'd be nice.

[@emblemblade9245]

That was a misconception. The Prime games are canon, but they’re a “nestled” canon that no 2D Metroids take place in-between, which gave Retro free reign to do what they wanted with the story in a way that wouldn’t force influence on the series main timeline (Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super, Fusion, Dread). Because otherwise it could lead to retcons of games that already came out and…yeah.
So they’re not decanonized, they’re just self-contained for simplicity sake

This overview was well done and fairly thorough (could have explained the differences in Ridley appearances a bit more), but I would say the intro is kind of abrupt and the narrators inflections are just a bit off. Other than that, I would say it is a job well done.

Typo in the "Commomwealth Realm Presents" at the start

[@james441]

Good video

[@lukew1383]

Samus had to deal with Ridley at 13:11 because of...reasons...

[@Saturas35142]

Hmmm nearly everytime Samus engages in Affairs with the Federation it's about a distress call

And now we just need Prime 4 to come out so we can have the finished (Temporarily?) Metroid Timeline.

[@baronhdl5861]

Honestly only error was prime 1 is 3 years after Samus’s zero mission otherwise it’s extremely accurate

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

How you know this?

[@baronhdl5861]

Part of the lore in the timeline which is that 3 years after zero mission she arrives at the Orphion and finds it in shambles

[@AICW]

@@johnny-mnemonic13 The Metroid Prime Trilogy's artbook. It specifically says Prime is three years after Zero Mission.

A lot of the information told in Dread (especially during that critical scene with what's-his-birdface) is backstory happening during the earlier games. It would have been nice to have that incorporated a little better into the timeline. Otherwise the video is super well done and an enjoyment from start to finish!

[@commonwealthrealm]

Wanted to avoid spoilers before Dread. That was the dilemma we faced when making this video. There is an entire Chozo backstory section that had been recorded but we couldn´t put in due to Dread spoilers. Guess we will save it for until Metroid Prime 4 is out.
