Is metroid better with a darker or lighter tone?

Atmospherically dark, but with lighter world-building and society. Keep the Federation conceptually comical (yes they get into morbid situations sometimes but they’re still the most basic space grunts ever) and keep the chozo how they are.

anyone saying lighter anything is a consumer cuck

Dark and isolating but there should absolutely be the occasional badass bounty hunter heroism in the atmosphere somewhere. Samus ain't no bitch and that's an important thing to show.

The Metroid games are about the feeling of isolation, like Samus is completely alone.

Needs lighter moments like the animals in Super Metroid so it doesn't become opressively dark. Metroid is a game about HOPE

It's better when Samus turns into a sexy ball

Darker tone. Metroid Dredd was great for it... minus the autistic screeching

The galaxy is a dark, terrible place but the good guys are good and they win

Imo Dread took it a bit too far, not with BirdDad (he was just a bit chuuni) but the murderbots are antithematic for Metroid. To borrow from /tg/ it's a Nobledark setting, there's pervasive horror elements and the universe frequently sucks. (see: Samus' backstory) BUT you are personally very powerful and resilient, and this allows you to at least sometimes prevail in ways that actually matter and change things for the better in a lasting way.

A mixture of cool and dark, but not grimdark

Metroid has to stay dark.

lighthearted metroid is splatoon where the X took over the universe and just play games with itself
