Would modern day /v/ accuse Samus' original design from Super Metroid of "being made with activists in mind"?

holy manface

wasnt this made by some kraut for the european strategy guide?

this isn't a dialog driven game and it's themes of parenthood and adventure are self contained
so no

>this isn't a dialog driven game and it's themes of parenthood and adventure are self contained
what does that have to do with the visual character design

Samus is a cool enough character she can look like a jacked super mutant, or more feminine like ZSS and the Smash depictions. As long as she's not a whinging cow like in Other M people will like her.

Well you have to ask the question as if movies like alien and terminator never happened which is just too many steps. Female action protag is well established culturally and it will always be compared against that and pass. Is she annoying? Does her physical strength exceed the suspense of disbelief budget for the genre? Is she unnecessarily ugly? If it's no and no and no you can make any female protag you want. It's not a high bar at all.

whatever happened to this 90s anime chick samus who disappeared from everyones minds.

>get in the mood to replay a metroid game(s)
>play them and enjoy their gameplay
>reward myself by jerking off to samus
this is the ideal video gaming experience

Art is from manga actually.

no because it's white biological female with titty

>>723661234 (OP)
Yes, up until someone posted the game's fastest clear screen, at which point /v/ would claim that this was actually peak design the whole time.

hot

>stirrup stockings
This was made with my dick in mind, therefore I will allow it.

>>723661234 (OP)
The difference is that if it was made in the modern day that would be the exact reason. She would be some butch bulldyke who hates men and doesn't afraid of anything.

>female protagonist completely covered up in armor to hide her most attractive features
Yes

>>723662537
Still the best Samus design and I wish they'd have kept it.

artist is benimaru itoh, who worked in nintendo for a number of years doing supplementary materials and manga, like Star Fox and Metroid. Notably, story elements from both the comics ended up getting adopted into the game franchise proper because both Imamura (Star Fox) and Sakamoto (Metroid) loved them.
He was also the art director for Earthbound 64.

No because that's clearly a woman and Samus in that comic never has a moment where she girl bosses.
Hell she's helped along the way a lot by some dude in a blue suit.

He was the audience surrogate who we could project ourselves into.
