Could Ian Malkovich be Sylux?

[Gamemaster]

It's just a theory. But given his left for dead circumstances. Sylux could be Ian Malkovich, Adam's younger brother.

[Chipou]

but why would he hate everyone then?

Considering how Sakamoto feels about the Prime trilogy, I doubt it.

[Chipou]

hunters isnt a part of the trilogy, it isnt even made by retro, they just wanted to slap prime on the title to make it sell better....which it did

[Gamemaster]

Well after he was left for dead he felt incredibly betrayed by all he thought were his friends, family and all he served, (the Galactic Federation). So now he hates Samus, his brother and the whole Galactic Federation for leaving him for dead and being betrayed.

Metroid Prime Hunters takes place between Prime 1 & 2, therefore Ian cannot turn into Sylux for Other M takes place after Hunters in which Sylux is very much present. It's more likely he's Armstrong Houstan.

Considering how Sakamoto feels about the Prime trilogy, I doubt it.

Yeah. He liked it. Deny it all you want.

Anyways... This is kind of a dumb theory. No offense.

Well for all we know that rescue mission with Ian, in Samus's flashback might've happened years ago before Metroid Prime Hunters.

I forgot about about that things known as "flashbacks"

I'm going to stop typing on forums in the middle of the night, doctor's orders.

So he exploded inside a space ship, and somehow came back and stole some Galactic Federation armor?

Phazon did it.

[Gamemaster]

Well we diden't really see him die in the spaceship now did we? Maybe in the last minute he found an escape pod or something and escaped offscene. Samus has done the same thing before in the past, before the place she's trap in explodes she is able to find a way to escape before the last minute.

Am I the only one that thinks Samus had a crush on Ian? No I'm being serious. He is Adam's YOUNGER brother, so there might not have been a huge age difference. idk the way Samus reacted... well it's still a theory nonetheless.





But it makes more sense then the Sylux theory that's for sure

[CRtheMighty]

Nope. Though, I think he might've had a crush on her. Someone was crushin', anyway. (Most of this is born from my brother watching theater mode with me and saying, "I'm calling it: Picture Dude is White Higgs." Also bear in mind that he'd seen me play the entire game and knew fully well who Ian was.)


I think the theory is ridiculous, but it didn't stop my mind from nearly breaking at reading the title.

Phazon did it.

Oh sure its always phazons fault... poor phazon it's so missunderstood.
