    Metroid is a game that really set the theme for an entire genre. Beside Castlevania, it is the namesake of the 2-Dimensional nonlinear platforming game genre. But since that’s a mouthful, everyone has taken to calling it “Metroidvania”. The series itself is heavily based on the film franchise “Alien”, Metroid is the story of a female protagonist in a powered suit moving across the galaxy, hunting down and eradicating the vile alien menace known as the metroids, a race of jellyfish-like parasites often used by pirates and even the government for various and nefarious reasons. As fun as this all sounds, the one thing the Metroid series has never been good at doing was keeping a coherent timeline of events as multiple games with multiple storylines crop up on a regular basis. So far, out of the 11 games in the franchise, the one considered to be “Metroid 5” is actually the most recent, with the upcoming Metroid Prime 4 being considered the seventh game in the franchise. So, to make sense of it, we’re going to dive into the world of Metroid and get together a proper timeline of events. So, put on your power suits and ready your Ice Beam and Missiles. Let’s get into it.

    Correction... in Other M the Baby's Cells were Stolen off her suit , hence why she was surprised there were Metroids on the ship and they had that flash back to the scientist dude with the glasses being shady.

    Corrections:
    In Metroid II, Arachnus isn’t a Metroid. It’s a creature native to SR388.
    In Other M, Samus didn’t donate the Metroid cells. She had no idea the Federation took them to be cloned until much later in the story.

    I’ve always felt people take Raven Beak too literally when he calls Samus his “child”. He’s probably using the word like how people would call a science project or a new invention their “baby”, I doubt he sees Samus as an actual daughter and vice versa.

    Interesting nickname for the Metroid hatchling, 'Poprock'. I nicknamed it Metchy as of Super Metroid (and I still do). I mention this in my Super Metroid playthrough on my channel (apologies for the obvious plug!).

    Ummm there’s a strong possibility that Beyond may very well be the current last game in the timeline. The glactic year for Beyond is 20X9 where as Samus Returns and Super(and possibly Other M) happen 20X7. Also The prime games takes place around a year after the first game, not 3 years

    • @Vince005aran
      @Vince005aran หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I highly doubt it. Since the suit in Dread is basically a still-recovering version of the Fusion suit, it stands to reason that any depiction after Dread will still look drastically different from the old power suit, likely keeping the white armor layer for instance

    • @Luigifan305
      @Luigifan305 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Except Fusion is stated to be "many years" after Samus wiped out the Metroids on SR388, meaning that Beyond is definitely still before Fusion. By definition, "many" can't mean any less than 5, though some sources give a more precise number of 8 years, matching the IRL time between game releases. Either way, Beyond being just 2 years after Super means it's _absolutely_ before Fusion.
      Also yes, it's confirmed that Prime 1 is 3 years after Zero Mission whether you like it or not. Besides, based on various logs throughout the prime games, we can be sure that it's impossible for everything to fit in a single year, meaning that Federation Force's 20X6 is actually 11 years after Zero Mission's 20X5 instead of just 1, so might as well fill out the space a bit.

      Fusion being "many" years after Samus Returns is stated in the Metroid Fusion instruction manual, while Prime being 3 years after Zero Mission is confirmed by the Metroid Prime Trilogy art booklet.
      There are also logs in Corruption stating that Phazon was discovered at least 2 years ago, referring to when the Pirates arrived on Tallon IV before Prime, which is in-game info that outright debunks the notion that the entire Prime series could fit within a single year.
      Since Zero Mission and Federation Force are explicitly stated to be in 20X5 and 20X6 respectively, but are 100% incapable of being just 1 year apart, the only explanation is that they are 11 years apart, with the X merely being an ambiguity tool rather than representing a specific decade. This is further supported by the Federation Force website claiming that FF takes place multiple years after Corruption.

      It won’t since the suit is still recovering from the surgery. The Metroid arc os over and space pirates are extinct by Dread.
      It will likely take place before Samus Returns or before Fusion
