@KawaiiDesuNekoBCSK When Zebes exploded, Samus assumed she was done with him for good. After seeing him come back yet again, she had a traumatic flashback that lasted for about a minute and a half and she was back in business.
It's still incredibly poorly written, but it makes a lot more sense if you view it through Sakamoto-vision.
@MyGamer125 That was a year ago, friend. My opinion has changed quite a bit about that scene since then- I still don't like it, but for reasons I think are much more accurate.
If you only count the Metroid: Zero Mission manga, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, and Other M, the scene makes a lot more sense. After all, she had barely triumphed against Ridley with the help of Grey Voice. When she saw him again in Super Metroid, she was so terrified that she could only stun him at best initially.
@KawaiiDesuNekoBCSK Maybe, but Samus was much younger at the time, and thought that Ridley was dead. She wasn't prepared to face him again on the Bottle Ship, and was caught off guard bu his sudden appearance. And let's admit, if Ridley existed in the real world, and tried to kill us, most of us would probably crap our pants
Now that I think about it, all of the 2D Metroid games (plus Other M) revolve around either the Mother Brain (Metroid/Zero Mission), the Baby Metroid (Metroid 2, Fusion), or both (Super Metroid, Other M). The developers of the Prime games were wise to not touch those subjects in their games, or else they would have given the creator a reason to consider them non-canon...
@kztar621 Its true that Other M makes no mention of any of her Prime adventures, despite the fact that the creator of Metroid (and director of Other M) has stated that the Prime series is canon.
However, when you think about it, there is TECHNICALLY no reason to mention the Prime series:
Other M's story's main focus is on Mother Brain and the Baby Metroid, neither which made in appearance in the Primes, so why bring it up? Strangely, this game doesn't even mention Zero Mission at all....
@yeshamandala2 She was already hot in the minds of many fans back in Super Metroid's ending (heck, even Metroid 2 and, to hardcore old school fans, NES ending).
@TGamer43 Well, there's the character portrayal, which made Samus into a whiny, traumatized bitch with a huge electra complex, leaving her in an OoC state that is just impossible to overlook and transforming some "gruff C.O. I once served under" into a god.
Then there's the constant inconsistencies with previous (Prime Saga) and future (Fusion) events. In fact, Other M seems to be trying incredibly hard to completely ignore and deny everything that ever happened in Prime.

@elvampe13 the game didn't mention Zero Mission because Zero mission is a remake of the very first metroid game
