Why do you hate Samus' character and how would you improve?

by **FacelessGriffin** » 09.12.10 1:23pm

I've noticed that many people don't like about Samus' characterization in the game. Which is fine really, you can have your own tastes, but unfortunately a lot of the complaints never moved beyond "She just sucks" as far as I see (which isn't very far, admitteadly).
I'm genuinely quite interested. I myself have not much problem with Samus' character, so that's why I don't really understand the negative reception.

What I ask now is why you didn't like Samus' character, how would you characterize her and why do you think it would work better?

As such, it's advised not to post snarky comments without any proper explanation or details, because this time I really like to know what you think. Also, throwing blind shots like sexism is not valid, as it completely contradicts the objective aspects (military protocol, PTSD, [spoiler]female main villain[/spoiler], etc).

Samus's portrayal ingame isn't sexist. It's the horny fanboys (like myself) that are being sexist... oh well.

Oh you guys. :roll:

Well, atleast I tried. Better jump on the bandwagon before it runs away. So tell me people, what is your favourite Samus Aran hentai picture?
