Was there any reason for Samus to be a woman?
>>338262072
It was just a special reward for the predominatly male players.
Shock value.
>>338262189
That's not a reward. It's a punishment.
>>338262072
Was there any reason for you to be a faggot?
>>338262197
Pretty much this.
>>338262072
Is there any reason for anything to be?
>>338262258
the reason is that he likes men
>>338262197
This and pixel titties.
Alien was out and everyone thought Ripley was cool
Would you?
>>338262072
>Was there any reason for Samus to be a woman?
zero suit
>>338262072
Is there any reason she shouldn't have been? Is there something wrong with female characters?
Is there any reason for Samus to be a man?
No. Fucking SJW propaganda if you ask me.
>characters need to have a reason have a gender
anon what
>>338262072
Was there a reason she shouldn't have been?
Games with female leads were very unusual back then. The reason was simply shock value.
>>338262197
This.
>>338262189
This too.
>>338263449
This also had a lot to do with it.
That's pretty much it. A lot of folk will spin it to be some kind of ceiling-breaking innovation but it's simply because sex sells and Samus being a chick seemed cool at the time so why the fuck not.

>>338262072
there was no reason for Samus to be anything so they flipped five coins and got female white human raised by birds

Was there any reason for a woman to be Samus?
>>338263725
>yall
We're not. Read the thread.
We're actually saying it's because she's hot and Ripley from Alien was fucking cool.
>>338262072
Because Alien was really popular
>>338263810
The only reason Ripley was a woman was because ridley scott was a SJW cuck and all of you fell for it.
>>338263810
>because she's hot
grow up

>>338264028
cus she has periods lol!
>>338263938
No, there's a whole tonne of themes around motherhood and young-protecting told through the medium of fighting aliens on spaceships. That's a lot more convincing when your lead is actually capable of, you know, motherhood.
But I know you're just peppering you shit-posting with buzzwords, so I don't expect you to bother to listen.
>>338263712
Fuck that give us green haired samus
>>338264167
Why would you reply to a troll like that?
Honestly.
>>338263985
Given I was, like, 13 at the time and their target market, I'm pretty sure I'm on-point.
>>338264227
>Why would you reply to a troll like that?
I like Alien and I want to talk about it, even if it's responding to a really obvious troll.
It's a good movie, what can I say?
>>338263621
>>338263679
>What is irony?
t. autismos
>>338262072
Because I like women.

I thought it was all about the fear of emasculation.
I mean, there was the whole penis shaped aliens and mpreg thing going on, Aliens had the whole macho military thing undermined and Alien 3 was set in a mens prison.
Imagine the amount of porn and cosplay we would've missed.
