Best Samus/Metroid fanart ever--what a Metroid movie might look like

Because men are guilty of objectifying women to such an extreme that when presented with one who can literally hand 99.9% of them their asses, they have to "cute her up" so their manhood isn't stolen.
This is why I don't think the ending to Metroid Prime 2 was much of a "treat." Samus at the end of MP1 looked more natural and more real. She's been in that suit for untold hours and days. She's not going to be glossed up with nice hair and make up. She's going to look like she's been through hell, because she has. I think this is the way she needs to be portrayed in any movie they make and she doesn't need to be played by any Hollywood scarlets. Eh.

Actually it's something that's feasible to a limited degree today.
90 percent of the pics in this thread are gobsmackingly awful and people should really be ashamed of themselves for posting them, the last 10 percent are awesome.
Funny that there is so little mediocreness. Probably some kind of long tail, knee effect.

Ok this artist either doesn't know how human bones work or Samus has a really jacked up skeletal structure. And the very first pic of this thread looked like the high school girl that fixed me a Starbucks the other day.Stormbringer said:More Samus fanarts :
I was under the impression that Samus was in her late 20's or early 30's with long green, later turned blonde hair.
All the art does look great though.

Add me to the agree train. I'm not really sure why Retro was compelled to match Zero Suit Samus's artwork in MP3, it doesn't seem to match the mood of the game at all. I understand the desire to tie in with Brawl but still.
What was she like in Echoes? I was so spent after doing the final boss battle over and over I can't remember a thing about the end.

Absolutely terrible. It was the worst rendition of Suitless Samus by far. Looked like an ogre. I'd take the horrid anime ZSS shit over Bashed In The Face With A Shovel Samus.Saint Gregory said:

Yikes. Maybe that's why I blocked it out.
I'm kind of against there being one standard suitless Samus rendition. I liked when she was still mysterious and left mostly to your imagination. Hopefully the current Brawl model won't be the permanent art for her.

not a very flattering pic of sigourney, but you get the point.
Beautiful but not in a cute way, strong and slightly masculine.
Same. Making her a generic hottie always felt like such a copout to me. I never see any fanart that satisfies me. Then again the official stuff is just as lame, though the first Metroid Prime was on the right track.

Isn't that official art? I remember that being one of the pieces you unlock scanning stuff in the first Prime.Stormbringer said:

Great thread. I am strongly, strongly against any kind of Metroid movie. I might would buy into a Metroid animated movie, but a live action would be a disaster. Anyone remember Aeon Flux? :lol

IAWTP. I don't want her to be ugly... >_>... I just think she should look atleast slightly somber.

The latter. One is unlikely to be able to interface with/control an exosuit or cybernetic technology like that without some serious internal retrofitting. See: Ghost in the Shell.
I much prefer the "realistic" looking Samus, especially the ones that show some kind of cybernetic interface/implant work. I like the idea of Samus as an isolated, somewhat damaged person. She should have an element of the grotesque to her appearance in some ways, just because the character simply wouldn't care about whether or not she was attractive to other humans.

Yes, this is definitely awesome. If there was a Metroid movie, this is how Samus should be, not like the cartoony versions. She was orphaned at age 3, raised by aliens and works by herself as a bounty hunter - not exactly a supermodel.
