Reasons I love Metroid
- The villains call themselves the Space Pirates. Not just any space pirates. THE Space Pirates
- It’s established that destroying planets is the easiest and best way to deal with your problems
- Pinball
- The soundtrack is “the most beautiful, haunting melody you’ll ever hear” and “beep boop”, with no in between
- The most deadly, virulent parasite in the universe looks like fruit gummy
- Official comics repeated show that Samus is addicted to circles
- Samus’ pet raccoons are apparently highly skilled star pilots
- The Japanese tagline for the series is “Metroid Fun-roid”
- Despite all of these things, the series never takes itself anything less than 100% seriously
