Samus is Fugly... [but looks good in Other M]

[Zeroº]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another installment of "'Dat Ass!"

Now with 30-60% more sexist comments spread across two topics and two boards! Please remember to comment responsibly and think before you type, as "'Dat Ass!" usually proves to be rather volatile territory.


Incidentally, I hear that 2 out of 3 people enjoyed X-Men: First Class!

Hey! Don't involve me in this! I have been spending the last hour trying to stop all of this.

Also, I swear you should host your own Internet show.

Back on topic.....

Pardon me. I forgot that nowadays it's "sexist" to compliment a woman for her nice arse.

I kinda miss the old times... the 90s...

[Mewtwo]

Its in no way sexist to compliment a woman on her nice ass, after all I could do the same to you.

Its just vulgar.

[kronoridley]

Agreed. Albeit I would use the word "inappropriate" rather than "vulgar".

Believe it or not, some people think complimenting a woman for her nice arse is sexist because it makes the woman a sex object.

I don't see what's the problem. People are so damn sensitive for everything these days.

Trust me when I say that the most sexist statements in these two topics aren't the ones about any particular woman's posterior, but are instead the off-handed comments made towards the feminine gender that I've been seeing coming from a particular poster.

I seriously don't know what you're talking about, but I have a feeling you're talking about me.

Personally I found MB to be better looking than Samus, she had a lab coat though so couldn't compare bums

I think they got Samus' face spot on, she looked really nice, particularly at the end in her regular clothing. Dunno how to describe in words but I just wanted to reach into the TV and give her a hug when she was reflecting back on the mission.

[kronoridley]

Of course if you tried to do that, she would let the dark side of the moon flash before your very eyes. (In other words: Ouch....)

And yes, I agree that her face was spot on. Also, while I hated the mole when I first saw it, I gotta admit that it looks awesome. (Never thought I would call a mole that isn't an animal "awesome" before.....)

I found her creepy looking. That not-exactly-smile is unsettling

[ChozoBoy]

Bringing the subject back, I'm most glad that the depiction is looking more consitent (and better depicted, in my opinion). In regard to her thin body, I like the idea of her being more of a quick gymnast-styled athlete as opposed to something more akin to the bulky space marine fare. She's naturally agile and sharp-minded, which is the core that her suit's power builds onto. That's really the way it ought to work, because we don't really see her choose to engage combat without the Power Suit. The only (brief) example otherwise is when she was under-cover in the manga.

I've been looking at some HD screens of Other M on the interwebs, and I've noticed that the model has a couple of interesting features:

#1 - She has extremely broad shoulders compared to her late-game cutscene counterparts. It's like the darker blue was inserted into the model to give the impression that her shoulders are huge. Too bad D-rockets didn't get the memo.

#2 - She apparently has abs of steel and her legs clip through her torso while running.

#3 - Her heels are seemingly unnaturally high. I don't see how anyone could even stand in shoes like those, even with a base. I guess it's a 'she has ultimate balance' thing.

#4 - The mole is actually less pronounced in HD somehow.


Side Notes:
- In the escape Sequence Adam's helmet doesn't have the number "07" on it, while on the ship it does
- And on the ship shot (HD) it seems extremely pulled back in comparison to its' counterpart (non-HD). Very curious.

I think in the Prime games she only looks the way she does because they have less graphical abilities to make her look how they wanted her to as a company. (in the human figure end of the graphics.)

[Pirate parylizer]

Her face is a bit more realistic, and her hair also moves a lot more fluently. I just don't understand the high heels on the zero suit.
