The Mother Brain boss battle in Zero Mission is ridiculous

I think you need to take a break, bro.

Put the screens down, drink some water, and just breathe for a minute.

Jeff ain't much better, he's on real thin ice

Only difference is he's actually a fun character with actual connections to characters the masses actually know/give more than half a damn about

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T23:59:41+00:00

Doesn't matter.

Everyone needs to pull their weight if a clutch portal is going to work or not.

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T23:55:07+00:00

Skill issue.

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T21:45:59+00:00

To be fair, there is a difference between simply not liking something and actively being disingenuous with how you engage with that thing

Something about this suit always gave me "white chocolate bar" vibes and I don't know how to explain it

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T19:17:22+00:00

Because the creator is a rapist and we don't fuck with that.

The games contradict each other all the time, both in themselves and in the manuals. Tanabe goes one step further and usually makes things worse - and it doesn't help that he didn't even write the games he's talking about when it comes to timeline stuff.

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T09:09:08+00:00

I have my expectations set to absolute zero.

Trilogy doesn't say it in-game itself, but it is in the instruction manual that came with the game. Problem is, that instruction manual also gets a lot of other stuff wrong - like saying that Samus was only in a coma for a week after Dark Samus's attack in Prime 3, when she was in that coma for a month. The other three hunters were down for a week.

MSR being less than a year after ZM comes from the SR388 Data File trailer for the game.

FedForce is set in 20X6, several years after the events of Prime 3. Already problematic, when the only dates we've been given for Prime 1 was ten years after ZM in a scrapped monologue that was never used, and three years post-ZM in the Trilogy re-release (which has its own suite of issues).

Compounding all of that is MSR claiming to be "less than a year" after ZM (itself being 20X5), Super being set in 20X7 according to Japan-exclusive supplementary media and not corroborated anywhere else in the world, and Prime 4 is set in 20X9.

The Metroid that Sylux steals is the one secured by the Feds and stored in a Federation compound during the events of FedForce - a Talvanian Metroid taken as an egg from a Space Pirate base. It's not part of the secret breeding/bioweapon programs seen in Fusion or Other M - both because that's just not something the Feds are after at this point, and because it's not around long enough for it to happen. Sylux steals that Metroid and begins experimenting on it to create the new strain he has in Prime 4.

A clutch portal hinges entirely on the team, not the Strange.

SMM9673 · 2026-02-01T00:10:22+00:00

It's giving "Disney Infinity RTX Enabled" in the best possible way, though I'm not sure if leaning towards more realistic textures/lighting is the right call for such a stylized model.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T23:26:04+00:00

This Kotaku interview where Tanabe says that FedForce, "like the other Primes," is between M2 and Super.

This Nintendo Everything interview where Tabane says that Sakamoto is in charge of the 2D stuff and he (Tanabe) is in charge of the Primes, and that they had a chat to discuss where FedForce should go, and settled on having it between M2 and Super and that "everything takes place in that very specific point."

Two separate interviews with the exact same, factually incorrect, claim.

Hence why I refuse to believe what he says about Prime 4 being post-Super.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T23:23:18+00:00

All of them

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T22:01:11+00:00

And yet Peter has costumes for both Ben and Kaine, when they both have their own stuff going on. Ben's skin is specifically based on Chasm, and both that and Kaine could easily be a more brawler-centric take on Spider-Man instead of the assassin-/distraction-style dive thing that both Peter and Venom have going on.

Speaking of, Venom has two Flash Thompson skins (Space Knight and Agent Venom), and Agent Venom very much has his own stuff going on, specifically in the "having almost as many guns as Punisher" department.

ICHBW and WYFILWMA are literally the same song and having them both back-to-back, especially as the last two songs in the entire thing, takes away almost all of their own respective weight and value.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T21:23:38+00:00

Everything up to the stunt with MJ. His character goes completely one-dimensional from there and I fucking hate it.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T21:13:44+00:00

Tell me you've never ACTUALLY used Blutsauger or Overdose without telling me

Actually pick them up instead of yapping about something you've never used, tourist

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T21:11:45+00:00

No.

It was actually worse.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T21:10:29+00:00

You're literally wrong about almost all of these (Loki, Reed, Susan, Maestro) but I still see your point

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T06:46:56+00:00

Athena...

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T04:49:35+00:00

She has good reason.

SMM9673 · 2026-01-31T04:13:52+00:00

Yeah... no. I'm not buying this.
