    So tell me again why Old Navy has a Metroid Dread t-shirt?
    https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=8798140020003

    It's kind of a tacky shirt though. Like simply copy-pasting a movie poster onto a black shirt. You could do better, Old Navy!

    Old Navy is my new passion, btw.

      Editing … Their tshirt designs are weird. Like the Garfield playing tennis, that has "Tennis" printed on it. Why does it need to say Tennis? We know what tennis is.. Or the Yosemite Sam shirt (that has him shrugging for some reason, maybe having him with guns would be seen as offensive/uncomfortable/racist in 2022) that has the words "Yosemite Sam". Yes, thank you telling me what that character is named.

      Editing … That reminds me, I really wanted this shirt but without the title card, so I copied the design (found the exact assets used), but I never made a RedBubble account to have it printed. I don't wear much merchandise, but this would look nice, right? Not sure which color I'd get. https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Sweet-Tooth-Silhouette-by-Bevatron/85025245.HP1IM.XYZ

      Editing … Fusion was legit. But I never played Zero Mission so I suck. Personally for me 2D Metroid ended when the 3DS one came out. (For that reason I'm not that interested in Dread- it even has the same dev team.) Whereas 3D Metroid ended with Prime 1.

      Editing … It looks better than Samus Returns, but I'm still not a fan of MercurySteam. They're that cheap group that all the Japanese publishers outsource their work to. If they actually ditched that pseudo-3D aesthetic, maybe I'd be interested. Maybe.

      Editing … I'm not a fan of MercurySteam's gameplay style. Simply moving around in Dread looks unappealing even if it is fast/efficient. If this is the direction of Metroid going forward then consider me out.

    Why are "Metroid" and "Metroid Prime" treated as two separate franchises?!

      Editing … 1) same reason it's called Metroid Prime Pinball and not Metroid Pinball. 2) You are presuming a spinoff series is the only reason a series can be counted separate. Who says there can't be two "mainline" series in the same franchise? 3) Metroid Prime is NOT THE SAME AS OTHER METROID GAMES. Just stop it with your agenda! And Nintendo named it Metroid Prime for whatever reason, so that makes it a series, and they made a Metroid Prime Collection, and then they came out with Other M which isn't called a Prime game and hurr guess what it has different gameplay style. No wai!!
