No, this isnt the one released a bit after fusion. this is the 1986 metroid manga! it's cartoony, but it's VERY funny. also, it's japanese. -.-

HOWEVER......it answers a few questions, including: what did the original space pirates look like? check it out:

1986 Metroid!

Page 9, Samus is a lesbian O-o

On page 2, she kinda looks like a Cylon.

Also,

How do you figure?

Anyways, this comic is really funny. It has that 'old' or 'original' Metroid feel to it.

I love the way they made Zebes look from space.

And WTF she still has her visor in Morph Ball?

Looking at this, then at the Prime Trilogy ..

It just shows you how much Metroid has evolved as a series.

She's surrounded by Bikini girls with a pleased/happy look on her face (^^) and she seems to have her arm around one :S

Although this was when she was supposed to be a guy..

actually, If I was surrounded by attractive men, I'd feel cool because there'd have to be a reason for us to be hanging out.

I think its listed on the website as page 5 not page 9.

However it is page 9 in the manga ..

Thats why I was confused as to what you were saying.

Ah, the perverted 13 year old mind, like unrefined sewage.

StrafeHunter - March 18, 2009 06:38 PM (GMT)
I have the same, but 15, so the C19H28O2 has had more time to kick in...

fly_boy42 - March 18, 2009 07:04 PM (GMT)
except there's less of it.

And is there anything wrong with simply saying Testosterone on this forum or do we have to refer to all matter by it's molecular structure now?

StrafeHunter - March 18, 2009 08:54 PM (GMT)
I like chemistry and wanted to confuse people.

fly_boy42 - March 18, 2009 11:36 PM (GMT)
I understand completely.

Sylux125 - March 19, 2009 04:16 AM (GMT)
Strafe, most people in this forum have completed high school
Im probably the youngest one here. i joined this forum at 12 =)
but.....
most of us are highly educated. Im probably the least educated one here
(Im still in gr8)

DarkSamus - March 19, 2009 04:42 AM (GMT)
Hmm.. I'm sad about how my time is almost up. D:
Next year I'll be an adult. Then forums will slowly vanish from my life :'(

fly_boy42 - March 19, 2009 05:37 AM (GMT)
really?
How so?
Do you live in one of those cults that kills it's adult males?

Sylux125 - March 19, 2009 05:04 PM (GMT)
Its called maturing fly_boy
one day you wake up, and you find you have something better to do than waste away the hours talking to fellow fanboy's/girls'
Im pretty sure DarkSamus is going to start spending more time with his significant other.

HistoryEater - March 19, 2009 05:49 PM (GMT)
NO! sylux has changed into........



A YOUNG MAN.


this is really funny! i've never seen anything related to metroid funnier!
and why does samus have a visor in her morph ball? it looks tacky.

fly_boy42 - March 19, 2009 07:11 PM (GMT)
Alright, no one tell axion that he's wasting his life

Sylux125 - March 20, 2009 02:25 AM (GMT)
on.......

Emperor - March 20, 2009 04:25 AM (GMT)
Presumably, he's speaking about the post you made about maturing. Speaking of which, flyboy, I know you and Axion don't exactly get along, but making a jab at him in an unrelated topic isn't called for. Alright?

Also Sylux, no single word posts if you can help it. :P


Anyway, this thread has strayed a little offtopic from the Metroid Manga, try to get back on topic everyone.

Gendreavus - March 20, 2009 05:27 AM (GMT)
He was just trying to say that following Sylux's logic, Axion should have matured out of the "hangs around on internet forums" stage of his life. By those standards, MM1914 and I should have done so already too. Lucky thing you don't actually mature out of doing stuff like this, huh?

fly_boy42 - March 20, 2009 10:37 AM (GMT)
and me, I'm older than both you guys.

And yeah, I am following sylux's logic, not making fun of axion, because if I was, I would also be making fun of myself.
I mean, my dad goes to a forum

Sylux125 - March 20, 2009 02:20 PM (GMT)
I meant spend less time, not leave altogether
I'm probably going to cut my MHQ time is half.....
I have other things to do that relate dierectly to my own life.
And just so you all know.... Yes I am love crazy, so some things i say may not make sense :wub:
Now back on topic
The Metroid Manga is quite old though. Also, a lot of metroid stuff simply dosent make sense. For example if you could clone Ridely.... why make only one? why nto two, three, or four?
And why wasnt Kraid cloned?
And why do the Space pirates change every game?
There isnt much continueity in much of the Metroid Series

Miles07 - March 20, 2009 05:57 PM (GMT)
Well, let Nintendo figure that one out.

1. The Space Pirates are different every game because the High Command is constantly trying to make their soldiers kill-proof. Constantly experimenting with different weaponry and armor, trying to make them invincible for the inevitable (but sadly impossible) final battle with the GFed.
2. Cloning takes time. Seriously. Making more Ridleys takes a LOT of time, which could've been an advantageous use of time between the end of MP1 and the beginning of MP3C (in other words, during the whole MP2E... wait, but they DID make one). Which brings me to the question: which is the original?
and
"Where is the creator?"

I'll give a cheesecake to whoever can place that quote. Seriously.

3. Perhaps there's a size restriction in the cloning machine.

fly_boy42 - March 20, 2009 08:58 PM (GMT)
Isn't it because it's mostly the same ridley, who can regenerate by eating?
I read that somewhere important...

Miles07 - March 21, 2009 12:49 AM (GMT)
I thought it was the Omega Pirate that could regenerate by eating Phazon... Maybe you're mistaken..?

fly_boy42 - March 21, 2009 01:09 AM (GMT)
QUOTE (metroid wiki)
The manga also has revealed how Ridley gets resurrected over and over again. Apparently Ridley is capable of rebuilding his body by devouring dead bodies. This is confirmed by the manga in a part where Ridley states that he survived the destruction of his flagship by consuming the bodies and cells of the dead humans in K-2L. Obviously, this explanation does not cover over half of his deaths, as he seemingly explodes and disentegrates in many of them, thus not allowing him to eat anything. For the time being, Space Pirate technology is the main explanation behind his revivals.


Meta ridley is the cloned one

StrafeHunter - March 21, 2009 10:06 AM (GMT)
Meta Ridley is not a clone, it is the original Ridley brought back with cybernetic adaptations. It says that in scans at the start of MP1.
