Facts

I'm sure he will, canonically he's definitely still alive and kicking during the Prime series!

@@BlueAizu_ Prime is after the first game and before the second.

Considering Raven Beak mentioned he can clone Samus. I think he may have a cloning facility off world. It also implies that he's who the Federation got the ability to clone Ridley from. If that is true. He may have already cloned him again and a new Ridley is about to get released.

It also a) shows how Ridley knew the baby metroid had been transported to Ceres, and b) made his "unexplained" return after being blasted to smithereens in Metroid 1 only to show up in Super not unexplained anymore. It really ties not just Prime to the main series, but also the main trilogy together.

Prime is pretty early in the timeline, so there's a chance.

I mean... he's actually dead. His lack of appearances in Dread should prove such already, what with him being cloned in Other M and that clone being what's used for Neo Ridley, and since Neo is fuckin dead no more Ridley

@@IndominusRex-wc1ey Every game with prime in the title comes before his death in super, so

@@spytf2-pb3yo mb didnt know Prime 4 was still early in the timeline RIDLEY HYPE FOREVER

@@IndominusRex-wc1ey Well I presume it would be, unless nintendo does something weird it would most likely happen after prime 3 or federation force

same reaction samus had to kraid in dread

unless they do a super remake

Or if a prime 4 is realeased, that’s another way the theme could get a new version

​@@BrownieEXEWHICH THEY SHOULD SO DO

@@keizerrex That would NEVER happen

whole*

Mecha Ridley from Zero Mission: Am I a joke to you?

​@@jeezed2950 I mean, he's not Ridley, he's a robot (kind of) created by Ridley

@@jeezed2950 Mecha Ridley doesn’t count

It’s really not that hard. He’s like the only boss in the game where you can just freely spam anything on. And you have a huge arena to fly around in. To each their own. I thought the big robot boss was annoying as hell. Took way too long to kill and nothing works on him

Holy shit Lily White what're you doing here

Sounds like something from Metroid Prime

Yeah I might have to change setup to fix that. Joys of laptop and Nvidia not giving much to work with

@@MadaxTheShadow I get ya personally I use a usb laptop fan for my laptop it keeps the normal laptop fan quiet they are cheap on amazon and well from what I remember theres ways to lower the fan speed of a nvidia graphics card I just dont remember how

@@blazikenowen at the very least I might try obs instead of the Nvidia streaming thing. From what I can gather I can add noise gates/suppression, which I can't find anything similar for with nvidia

@@MadaxTheShadow ah theres your problem nvidia streaming takes up alot of power so it will cause your laptop to whir alot

Thank, I is glad

Though, I don't think even he can bounce back from what happened to him in fusion.

@@mannysilver211 That wasn't even the real Ridley though. the real Ridley was compleatly killed off in Super Metroid. Neo Ridley is the mutated form of Ridley's clone. Who was also killed before the X paricite took it.

If they were going to add Ridley they should have also introduced the Space Pirates halfway through at the earliest trying to capture metroids, maybe even a boss fight.

@@dalekrenegade2596 I agree. Again, it would've added more depth to the story. And besides, who doesn't want to see a Space Pirate vs. Omega Metroid fight?

Are you forgetting that Super Metroid happens IMMEDIATELY after Metroid II / Samus Returns? It’s no longer a coincidence that Ridley steals the baby Metroid almost right after Samus leaves Ceres.

@@chrispork1443 No, but what is strange is that the canon now has to bend over backward for any of that to make sense. Ridley shows up more dangerous than we've literally ever seen him outside of Phazon enhancement, gets his shit absolutely rocked by Samus and the infant Metroid, and before even making sure he's dead, Samus just leaves. Even if we ignore that, why does he show BACK up literally hours later, once again at completely full strength, and lead the assault on Ceres? Why does he bother fighting her even briefly when he JUST got his ass handed to him earlier that SAME day? Especially since he, realistically, hasn't had any time to recuperate. Now it just looks like he either magically got all of his strength back despite having very little to harvest in the way of biomass (an ability most Metroid fans don't even know he has because it never comes up in the games), or he rushed himself to make the assault on Ceres despite not being physically ready, and despite apparently being a great tactician, he literally opened the door for Samus to go in and finally actually kill him later that day. He doesn't even bring back-up despite the fact that we know he HAS backup! Why would he show up to fight Samus, at the tail end of one of her adventures, with no help? Did he assume she'd be distracted by the infant Metroid? No, because he had no way of knowing about it! Did he assume he'd be able to take her alone expecting it to not be there? That doesn't work because this would be the literal seventh time in the timeline she's whooped his ass one-on-one. He should know better by now! Ridley showing up doesn't even work within the story of Samus Returns as a twist. People who weren't familiar with the way the original game goes didn't have any context for it, and the people who were weren't surprised because of Samus Returns pacing issues. The original Metroid II sought out to demonstrate the life-draining effects that Metroids have on an ecosystem by showing you the decay of that ecosystem the further in you go. The deeper into the planet you get and the more dangerous the Metroids became, the fewer predators you could find. Eventually, all you're left with are tiny little prey animals because that's all there is left to hunt. The tunnel before the Metroid Queen was quiet and lonely, and the tunnel afterward was serene and introspective. The first tunnel is just you, just Samus, proceeding onward... alone. The second tunnel is less lonely, as a beautiful melody ramps up while Samus and the baby climb out onto the planet's surface, together. No upgrades to find, no enemies to fight, just you and the Metroid alone, but together. And then you enter your ship and just, leave. Metroid II's ending was hopeful. It was always supposed to be. As if, after literal genocide, there was still somehow room for compassion. Anyway, instead of any of that, in Samus Returns both of those tunnels are absolutely chock full of dozens of enemies you've already fought dozens of times, removing literally ANY payoff that sequence might have had. No, there are challenges to overcome, upgrades to find, places to explore! The tunnels even look indistinct from the rest of the game. So when Ridley shows up, it's not exactly a surprise. The original game at least felt like it COULD have been building up to something, but Samus Returns completely misunderstands the meaning of the original game. Ridley doesn't subvert anything because there's nothing to subvert. The atmosphere is dead. Even the moment where you find the baby doesn't seem like anything special. The way the game paces itself, the baby Metroid just seems like a sudden neat post-game gimmick. And when Samus and the baby reach the surface, instead of a calm beautiful walk to the ship, suddenly green storm clouds build as the music turns dark and sinister, so Ridley showing up doesn't come across as any sort of surprise. Make no mistake, Proteus Ridley, outside of being a fun boss and perhaps the best final boss in the franchise from a gameplay perspective, is one of the absolute worst things about Samus Returns. It doesn't work within the game's story, it doesn't work in the larger universe, and honestly it just comes across as overindulgent. C'mon guys, we get it. Ridley is iconic. Even non-Metroid fans know him. We don't need to shoehorn him into a remake of a game he was never in to begin with! C'mon, even AM2R got that ending right! Metroid II was always better for not including him! It'd be like if Marvel announced a remake to Spider-Man 2 (the Sam Raimi one) where Sandman showed up at the last minute and almost killed MJ or something.

He didn’t just show up to grab “some Metroids”. There was only one Metroid left: the Baby. And he wasn’t “just shoehorned in”. The point of Ridley was to both foreshadow Super Metroid and further establish the Prime games as canon, as shown by his cybernetic parts.

Agreed

Post-meta Ridley.

Haha Neo ridley screech go SSSCCCRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!

What a nice dragon boy.

So you want to be a murderous sociopath. Oooookay.

@@whatshappeninganymore2473 hopefully he won't become a space pirate and kill everyone

or he gets cloned lol

your man is dead, no ridley in dread, samus ate all that remained of him like bread

I actually like them like that better honestly. But yeah it's great

Man literally too angry to die

Literally magical.
