the suicide bombers of metroid

[Mr. McIHOP]

ok...iv'e been meaning to do do this....but hey, im lazy!
[i]anyways[i] this just a poll like thing, (how do you do that anyway i really have no clue) and heres the question: who do you think can be labled the "suicide bombers" of metroid? in short, any creature from the metroid universe that knowingly sacrifices itself kamikazi style for the greater good of a hive or race, or just because it can. what do you think? shreikbats? skrees? those phazon-bug-type thingies you see on the vahalla? tell me what you think!

the aero pirates (i got that right, havent i?) when you get them low enouth on health the KAMIKAZI YOU!!!!!

[Alexiel]

anything and anyone that confronted samus had already committed suicide

[Redwing]

anything and anyone that confronted samus had already committed suicide

This is the correct answer.

[Emperor Ing]

Zebes tried to go all Andross on Samus.

Like, twice.

[Grahamr]

The Shriekbats, of course!

BTW I think I know what the purpose of this thread is.

He wants to make a joke or parody where a shriekbat or aero pirate shouts "Allāhu Akbar!" before trying to kamikaze Samus.

That really isn't in good taste, but for some reason I still find it funny.

[Alexiel]

shriekbat bin laden?

[GF_Kennon]

shriekbat bin laden?

nah, change it to the pirate version

[Redwing]

Something kind of strikes me off about making jokes about Muslim suicide bombers. It's a sad thing, really. Not to mention racist, I suppose. I'm not necessarily too opposed to anything here, it just irks me a tad.

[Mr. McIHOP]

hmmm redwing has a point. its rather sad really. so i may as well as put an end to this thread.....unless anyone has a wish to continue it...i personally have nothing against muslims, or any religion out there.....

I don't think its offensive, per se, as Muslim terrorists are hardly the only group in human history to have used suicide tactics. However, I think its kind of dumb. There are several creatures throughout the series that charge at you and explode, none of which, as for as I can tell, warrant a thread devoted to their means of attack.

[Emperor Ing]

I wonder how the Shriekbats think that charging straight down into the ground at their opponent, often missing, and then exploding as a form of... collateral? would be anything but a boon to their species.

You guys want to end threads too easily.

My Space Pirate failure thread lasted 14 pages before spammers took it over.

I wonder how the Shriekbats think that charging straight down into the ground at their opponent, often missing, and then exploding as a form of... collateral? would be anything but a boon to their species.

In original and super, it looked more like they were burrowing into the ground. Zero mission showed them exploding, though.

Yeah, its odd.

Maybe they're like the... Phoenixes of Metroid? Where, their death actually serves as a continuation of their species?

[Alexiel]

my country is muslim, lol

anyway, i too believe terrorists do what they believe is right, like any other people...i just...i dunno man that was kinda rude but lots of people do stupid things cuz they believe what they do is right and, we never realize that...
