So, a thought occurred to me while watching some Metroid Dread coverage. IDK if Iâd call it a âtheoryâ since Iâm not taking it that seriously, but I think it would be a cool route for the story to go down.
So, we know that by the time Metroid Dread takes place, Metroids are completely extinct, there are none left that exist. This has been confirmed multiple times in relation to Metroid Dread, so from what we can tell, at the beginning of Dread, there are no Metroids left. Whatâs interesting about that however, is that Metroid Dread is supposed to be the end of the Metroid Saga, meaning the end of the overarching story between Samus and the Metroids ( though not the last Metroid game or the end of Samusâs story ), which seems interesting to me, since if the Metroids are extinct, the really Fusion should be considered the end of that arc, shouldnât it? This makes me think that despite their extinction, they will appear in some form in Dread.
We also know that a living Chozo ( or at least an entity appearing as one, as some theorize itâs an X-Parasite mimicking a Chozo ) appears in the game. While there are many theories behind who this Chozo is, most people seem to be under the impression that the Chozo is taking an antagonistic role in this game.
Hereâs my tinfoil hat âtheoryâ. What if the Chozo, be it a singular Chozo or a still existing group of them, are seeking to create more Metroids? Also, what if the X-Parasites were simply decoys to lure Samus onto the planet? More than that, what if they are the ones controlling the EMMIâs, and the Galactic Federation sending them to the planet was just a convenient circumstance for them, so that they could use the EMMIâs to capture Samus. Because remember, Samus now has Metroid DNA, and is probably the Chozoâs last chance to make more Metroids.
I also think that might explain how she ends up inside the planet. Say for example, she was taken prisoner by the Chozo, and deliberately stripped of her upgrades, before escaping and making her way out of the planet.
I want the record to show that I was right, and I have now decided to use my newfound prophetic powers for evil
