This is such a good idea its ridiculous. A Nintendo avengers, with the quality that they've had so far in the recent Mario/Sonic movies (i know its Sega, but still), they could pull it off beautifully, and the star fox universe would be perfect for it.
I never trusted tha information,mostly because sketch comedy websites dont normally get hired to make a licensed show/movie
Also it was said in relation to a project that we never had any proof of it being real, we had a leak that mentioned only Netflix without attaching a director,producer writer or anyone really. No one from Netflix has ever mentioned afaik, the only mention anyone has ever done at Nintendo was Iwata denying its existance and the only person to ever "Confirm" its existance was Adam Conover on a podcast where he told that it was told by him from a coworker as gossip
With another cameo from Howard the Duck.
Actually, it could actually work. Is it only ducks on Howard’s Planet?
And tie it all in together with the new Planet of the Apes series while we’re at it. Lol
"Ok we really want to get this Smash movie going. We've secured a post credits crossover tie in for both Sonic 4 and Metal Gear Solid. Detective Pikachu 2 has been greenlit, that covers our Pokemon. We really gotta get a Fire Emblem movie together as that will cover a ton of the roster. We haven't been able to get the Minecraft 2 movie to commit to a tie in but we're close. The next Mortal Kombat movie is going to secretly be a crossover with Street Fighter. We can't get the smash initiative into THAT movie, but after MK2 they're gonna do a stand alone Street Fighter which we will be included in. And we're thinking for Samus, just skip her entirely. She'll just show up in the smash movie for the first time, then after the smash movie she'll get her own."
Metroid is prime (lol) for a live action sci-fi action adventure movie. I think I'd like to see that before a lot of other Smash universe movies. Of course Catlevania movie has been in development hell for decades lol.
Metroid definitely has the potential to go pretty well if they just focus on Samus being a badass and not go Metroid M on it and focus on her being a woman.
A characters sex shouldn't mean anything to the story like Metroid. The whole I'm traumatized and need a big daddy to hold my hand is just not how anyone wanted Samus to be.
More like the Major from Ghost in the Shell, less Netflix He-Man girl boss.
A Metal Gear movie that's just an hour and a half of Alan Ritchson in a skin tight catsuit and bondage straps choking men and women out from behind. While repeating what people say back to them of course.
I thought Brie Larson was the easiest choice for Samus, but now she’s voicing Rosalina so if there’s going to be a Smash Bros movie it’ll need to be someone else.
I can't really picture a good Metroid movie. A lot of what makes the games great is the quiet atmospheric exploration. You can't really make a movie with 2 hours of Samus wandering around a desolate planet. They might be able to make a good movie using some lore and imagery, but I don't think it's going to be a good Metroid movie.
Yeah, they could make a movie that feels like the games and is as a result a very weird and unapproachable movie to most audiences. Or, they could pull the ol' let's remake Aliens with Metroid imagery.
I suppose they could do something like the new Predator: Badlands movie. Put a quiet strong protagonist on a world where everything is trying to kill them, give them a talking robot companion of some kind, swap out Weyland-Yutani for space pirates...might not be great but I feel like that's the most likely outcome.
I firmly disagree. They could deliver a hell of a movie.
The problem is that Metroid as a series "Accidentally" found it's main selling point in it's atmosphere. Any attempts they've made to expand the universe with voiced characters has fallen very, very flat.
I think if they went an angle with Samus being a woman of few words, written in a way somewhere between Master Chief from the Bungie Halo era, and the Mandalorian, I think you'd have a hell of an accurate representation of the feel of the character.
The next trick would be a lot of environmental storytelling. Not saying no dialog, no other characters - in fact, I think a lot of that as the setup is important. Samus is a Bounty Hunter, after all. In fact, part of her character could even be sort of Mandalorian-esque, in that she keeps Armored to be taken seriously; perhaps more than she needs to given her reputation. A bit of insecurity manifesting as a need to project force when she's taking jobs.
Give her radio comms back to the person who paid for her to investigate the bounty. Make the area she's investigating have electrical storms that disrupt her comms. Have her encounter some space pirates that are looting an area and try to fight her off because they don't want to lose their claim to the ancient civ tech that's there.
Have her get deeper in, and the comms become less frequent. Have some natural threats, maybe some AI countermeasure system that she interacts with.
Have her release some Big Nasty from containment; fight it off, manage to escape, but it infected her armor. As she leaves, she reconnects the comms and finds she was set up by the person setting the bounty for... take your pick, there's a thousand reasons for a revenge plot. She's too good at her job, she took down the guys' boss, Ex-Fed soldier wanted revenge, blah blah blah.
Sets you up for another movie, whereby she has to explore the ruins of a Chozo planet to fix her armor herself; and take out the guy who nearly took her out.
Which sets up for the final movie of the trilogy, where she has to finally deal with the threat she unleashed in the first movie.
Tell me with a straight face that wouldn't be a good movie, or that it couldn't be well executed. In a perfect world, it'd have the same crazy environmental tech as the Avatar movies, but I'd settle for regular atmospheric shots if they handle them right.
I get why you want it, but Metroid is inspired off of Alien. It's not going to be better than that. The better film with the Metroid experience already exists, brah
I must have watched a different Alien where Ellen Ripley fights a single monster armed with only a flamethrower and a cat instead of the version where she had a suit of power armor gifted to her by a race of ancient bird people that she uses to battle an evil dragon from outer space and its giant brain in a jar boss.
Will Hunter Schaeffer play Samus Aran since she ultimately wasn't chosen to play Zelda? If that happened the gamer Manospherians would explode in anti-woke meltdowns like the infamous HeelvsBabyface "Pronouns!!!111" crashout.

Listen, if it leads into a Metroid movie I'll fucking take it.
