>>1911167Think about it. Metroid was always about Samus taking more clothes off the better you do, right? That's not just fanservice. She went through hell and shedding her battle gear is her finally releasing all that built up tension. She gets to stop being the bounty hunter.
Well, Nintendo fucked that up when they gave her the Zero Suit. The Zero Suit is functional battle attire. That means now when she takes off her armor it reveals...more armor. She never actually stops being the bounty hunter now and the pictures you earn as a player are now just arbitrary poses. A 100% speedrun should show her nude. That would restore the original meaning of the end scenes.
