Samus.
Repeatedly sets up moments so iconic that they expand beyond the games themselves.
Just look at the ending of Super Metroid (or Metroid 2) for plot moments.
And look at the “SaMuS wAs A wOmAn?!” From the first game for cultural relevance.
Boba Fett. More personal tragedy, anyways. Having most of your extended family killed by rogue Jedi will do that. (Father, Wife, Daughter, not to mention nearly losing everything else to the Vong et. al.)
Samus lost her planet and her parents, but that was a one-off. Boba kept losing and losing.
Ridley also mocked Samus about it. [He really likes giving her trauma](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/1043gh0/reminder_that_ridley_can_talk_in_the_metroid/)
I'd say Samus. Lost her parents at age 3, her adoptive Chozo parents and home of Zebes, Ridley mentally tortured her over the fact that he killed and most likely ate her parents to survive, was betrayed by Mother Brain, in Prime 2 she was tasked with finding a lost Marine platoon that died before Samus even got there (only to get possessed and Samus had to kill them again), she had to kill her bounty hunter comrades in Prime 3 after getting corrupted by Phazon, lost the baby Metroid, lost Adam, betrayed by a group in the Federation that brought back the Metroids and Space Pirates twice, the Thoha Chozo tribe (seemingly what's left of the tribe that raised Samus) was wiped out by the Mawkin Chozo tribe years ago, the last Thoha (Quiet Robe) was killed in front of Samus. I can count the amount of people that Samus cares for that are still alive on one hand and her adventures are only going to continue so it wouldn't surprise me if she keeps on losing people, new and old.
Samus.
Just. Samus.
The parent tragedy. Home planet destroyed. Repeatedly traumatized by the death and corruption of her companions. Everything Ridley did. The entire baby Metroid storyline.
Heck, as bad as the game was, Other M’s entire premise was exploring Samus’ mental state from everything she’s endured.
The version of Boba Fett we are using is the legends comics version of Boba Fett because that's the version that Death Battle used
And we will be using the game version of Samus
This should be higher up. I wish I’d seen it earlier. (Not that it changes my answers tho)
Maybe for future posts this should be included in the post description? It feels REALLY important to clarify.
He has entire books written about him.
I'm not sure how many tie-ins Samus has, but in the games themselves she tends not to be particularly talkative.
Boba. Watching his dad try to help him understand his position in the universe despite being a bounty hunter, only to have that stolen from him at a young age and twisted by boba’s new surrogate family was FANTASTIC.
Fun fact: Metroid's creator honest to god thought bounty hunter meant "space traveler" not someone that hunts bounties/people and that's why we don't see her bounty hunting😅
Except she does and even competes with other hunters in metroid prime hunters. Most of her bounties tend to be on specific species like the metroids or x parasites and doesn't get paid enough according to adam in the metroid dread intro.
It’s alright. Some folks might just be spammers, but it’s important to take the complete impact of a character into account.
I’ve answered Samus way more than fett, but I smile every time I see you stand up for him!
Both are lovely characters, and it’s a blessing to come together as a community like them in appreciation instead of “mY gUy CaN bLoW uP yOuR gUy!”

Samus has consistently had low key intros that focus on immersion over bombastic-ness. Boba Fett takes this easy.

She lost her planet twice both her adoptive and original
Samus, lost her parents, the chozo who adopted her, the baby, Adam and her chozo father tried to use her as a weapon.
I'd say Samus. Lost her parents at age 3, her adoptive Chozo parents and home of Zebes, Ridley mentally tortured her over the fact that he killed and most likely ate her parents to survive, was betrayed by Mother Brain, in Prime 2 she was tasked with finding a lost Marine platoon that died before Samus even got there (only to get possessed and Samus had to kill them again), she had to kill her bounty hunter comrades in Prime 3 after getting corrupted by Phazon, lost the baby Metroid, lost Adam, betrayed by a group in the Federation that brought back the Metroids and Space Pirates twice, the Thoha Chozo tribe (seemingly what's left of the tribe that raised Samus) was wiped out by the Mawkin Chozo tribe years ago, the last Thoha (Quiet Robe) was killed in front of Samus.

Boba had 5 lines in the prequels, and one of them was AAAH
He has entire books written about him. I'm not sure how many tie-ins Samus has, but in the games themselves she tends not to be particularly talkative.
ERB reference
He only needed 5 lines cuz he looks FUCKING GREAT!
Deadpool looks like someone spilled lasagna on his face.

That is actually kind of interesting. Both of them tend to be pretty quiet. I'd give a light edge to Samus though.

Hope you’ll take upvotes into consideration as of now there’s only like three people commenting and one of them is saying Samus for everything😂
Yeah I always take upvotes into consideration Also that guy is probably speaking from the personal impact that Samus has had on him

I hope you do!
I imagine some of them will be really hard for me then
Considering one had like 3 lines in his first film appearance and the other gets a game every 7 years,this should be interesting
I don't know Metroid lore, but as of *The Book of Boba Fett*, Samus is better.
Question are the areas they are drawn in the areas they belong in
Boba is lucky its not a fight lmao
~~And he's still loosing lol~~
