>>2831303>The entire scenario could have been done exactly the same way with a completely generic character and setting with almost no meaningful difference whatsoever What? It hinges entirely on her power suit having a permanent weapon embedded in it. I can't think of any other female character with that same criteria where this idea would work. It's taking an attribute that's core to her character and utilizing it in a way to facilitate an ENF scenario, which is exactly what your criticism claims it doesn't do.
And yeah I'll admit there's a lot of room to flesh it out (particularly the opening and ending), I hastily collected my thoughts and tried to fit it into 2000 characters, but I don't think
>randomly selected elements from the franchiseis a fair characterization.
>because Samus's characterization isn't quite compatible with that kind of reactionWhat characterization isn't compatible with what reaction? That her cool persona starts to falter after being walked out naked past the public?
That's enough to test anyone, and even for someone like her, the "falter" could just be a slight grimace, or blush, or a bead of sweat running down her face.
>you could specifically say that it's before she meets Adam, that he arranged the entire thing to "test" her somehowThat's an interesting way of doing it, and I like it, would definitely make it easier to justify the security officer's actions.
