Unanswered questions in the Metroid series

[Armstrong Houston]

7) One very big question. Why are we not seeing more of in the games. I don't even care if it's flashbacks, we need more , and it's a crime that Adam has now, technically, been in more games than he has.

After Zebes blew up, Samus got a Galactic Restraining Order against me. I just wanted to show her my Skree wings collection, I swear!

6) Does the Chozo-blood in Samus have any other side-effects beyond making her superhuman and being able to use their weapons? Any biologically abnormalities or racial instincts in her at all? She seems basically 100% human, but stronger. What part of her is, well, "Chozo"? I mean, if she had a kid, would she lay an egg, or does she preen herself? I guess that's even less easy to explain when the Chozo themselves remain a biological and historical mystery.

Thanks! That explains SO much!

Samus is clearly a morning person.

Also, brings up a question I have. Does Samus eat Chicken?

[Chris]

Does Samus eat Chicken?

Why wouldn't she? Unless she is one of those idiot vegetarian/vegans types.

[YamI]

I think she does, at least, the reMovie says so, but that's a parody. If she did.... I dunno, but my guess is yeah, isn't that question suppose to go into the questions thread anyways?

Well, she was raised by Birds. So she might think it's cannibalism.

How come none of the 10 SA-Xs can find Samus on the BSL?

Why does the SA-X help Samus?

How does the Omega Metroid change weaknesses?

How can the X not invade other sectors if they can fly through walls?

How can Samus Shinespark in ZM when she learns to in Super?

How does Samus loose all her items EVERY time?

If some of these are answered, just say so.

[Qazz777]

Why does the SA-X help Samus?

Because it may hate Samus but it's mortal enemy is the metroids so it's logical to help Samus try to kill its greatest enemy.

[YamI]

How does Samus loose all her items EVERY time?

Part of the main plot, Samus's loss of items, means that you search for them back, and along the way find new ones. Pretty great if you ask me. But yep, Part of the main plot that Samus loses her items. But hey, some of them she starts off with nothing. Like in Super Metroid. Or Metroid 1. Stuff like that.

[Naner]

With the exception of Metroid and Zero Mission, she always starts with the Long Beam.

Why does the SA-X help Samus?

Because it may hate Samus but it's mortal enemy is the metroids so it's logical to help Samus try to kill its greatest enemy.

It doesn't hate Samus, but sees her as a biological threat. However, it sees the Omega Metroid as an even bigger threat, so it decides to attack it instead of Samus. It wasn't helping Samus. It just thought getting rid of the Omega Metroid was the priority, since Samus was already weakened (of course, it failed and that caused the destruction of all X in the space station).

Do people eat beef?

Not the best analogy, unless you were raised by cows. The supposition here is that Samus, having been raised by the Chozo, might frown on consuming poultry but not necessarily meat entirely. A better analogy to the proposed question would be "Do people eat monkeys?" in which case the answer is yes, some people do. I've never though of Samus' dietary habits before, but considering her upbringing, I doubt she'd eat chicken, turkey or any other kind of bird.

Humans and cows are both mammals, just like, say, chickens and parrots are both birds. So a mammal eating another mammals (like humans eating cows) is in principle no different than a bird eating another bird (say, Chozo eating chickens). Chozo don't even look particularly like chickens, if anything they seem more similar to parrots than anything (which isn't that surprising, considering parrots are amongst the smartest birds, if not the smartest).

According to TimeTree, The last common ancestor of cows and humans was about 95.2 million years ago, and the last common ancestor of chickens and a random parrot was about 117.3 million years ago (and it is similar for other plausible groups of birds like birds of prey), so humans eating cows is probably closer to cannibalism than Chozo eating birds (that is ignoring the fact that Chozo are aliens, so biologically humans are closer to chickens than Chozo are).

Do chickens still exist?
