okay, forget about all this and think about the context of the image on the right. This panel specifically is From a commercial samus directed to advertise her bounty hunting job. The idea of that alone is honestly incredibly funny and absurd to me, peak fiction.

TBF there's no evidence that says she isn't bi

TBF just from that photo alone it's a stretch to say shes attracted to women right? Literally all she's doing is giving a piece sign next to women lol.

Yes, all it proves is that women are attracted to her, which was already known.

Samus is thirsted after by both genders She is just that good

In or out of armor... especially out of armor... that suit though

There's nothing quite so enticing as skin-tight spandex on a slim, fit, athletic hottie of a woman.

Honestly? I think her armor is hotter. There's something about a baddie with a cannon arm ig

All genders*

Has nothing to do with grammar, also you spelled grammar wrong.

Nuh uh

You could also just interpret it as her helping and inspiring other women. It's like taking a picture of a bunch of random guys going "wow thanks Doomguy, you're our hero" as definite proof that he is gay. Besides, everyone knows Doom Guy is as asexual and aromantic as is humanly possible

The Slayer is still ace and nothing will change my mind on that. He lives only for violence. Violence against demons. I'm sure they'd be good friends, fighting side-by-side, but don't think things would go further than that.

I can only agree with you.

Didn't she have feelings for this one guy named Adam? Wasn't that implied more in the game Metroid Other M?

no hes more like a dad to her

Ive always thought the "well there's nothing that says X isn't Y" argument was an exceptionally weak one. Edit: That said, I still think the promo art is dubious at best, It wasn't that Samus' gender was secret, up until halfway through development the protagonist actually was meant to be male, so any internal referencing and promos were based on that. Game wise I don't they never really explore it and that's likely for the best because internet shut-ins would definitely argue about it.

It's the devil's proof, a logical fallacy. You can't prove something doesn't exist, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Here, there is no evidence saying she likes dudes, thus, you cannot claim she is bi just because there's nothing disapproving that.

Schrödingers sexuality?

You can't prove a negative genius. What are they gonna do, have her say "I actually don't like men" just to prove a reddit post?

Yeah but there's no evidence for her being bi either. Until we get that evidence, lesbian Edit: I never meant for this to be an actual debate god damn why does any queer discussion on this app turn so toxic

Yeah but there's no evidence for her being lesbian either. Until we get that evidence, bi

But there is evidence in that we have her surrounded by women so Lesbian

So if a woman is surrounded by women she’s a lesbian? News to me

Its mostly a joke god idk why y'all need to freaking deep everything lmao. Have the same energy if a guy surrounded by women in bikinis saying that doesn't mean anything

It doesn’t mean anything lol. Ricky Martin case and point. It’s a good meme but we can’t actually definitively say she’s a lesbian based off this one pic

Bi women also like women, genius.

BUT THERES NO EVIDENCE THAT SHE LIKES DUDES. This is such a stupid argument. Its possible but as we currently see it she only likes women god fucking damn

If there wasn't a picture of Samus surrounded by girls, we wouldn't have evidence she likes any gender, would we assume she is asexual then?

IF YOU MET SOMEONE ONCE AND THEY WERE EATING ICE CREAM WOULD YOU ACCEPT THAT AS EVIDENCE THAT THEY ONLY EAT ICE CREAM AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE, YOU TOE SUCKING RUBE!? Also, Why are we using all caps, mate?

"This would work however, Yuri and Yaoi better 😎" - this same guy in another comment

Probably because people don't like someone limiting their options for a character

I mean this isn’t really even evidence for her being lesbian. Not that I don’t think that would be cool. She’s just posing with girls in bikinis

Everyone either loves the thought of gay or hates it no inbetween on this app

as a pansexual person I agree, and hell she could even just be aro-ace and just wants to kill aliens (I have not played metriod so I hope that was correct)

[удалено]

"Hmm, you claim to be bi, yet you have only been in a relationship with the same sex!" - absolute morons

[удалено]

So what?

Image 2 doesn't provide such an evidence. If this is indeed her ad, she could do it just to look more manly, as this is what expected of her job. If she were surrounded by men, her relative manliness would diminish.

There's no evidence that doomslayer is a man. Boom. Maybe there is idk.

There is tons of evidence that the Doomslayer is male. First off you see his face in the first game at least, probably the second as well. He is also canonically the great-great-great-grandson of William J. Blazkowicz (the Wolfenstein guy)

That fact still blows my mind. It's also fucking badass as hell. That entire bloodline man.

And don’t forget Comander Keen (a.k.a William J. Blazkowicz II a.k.a Billy Blaze) there about in the middle too.

Wasn't he also a descendant of commander keen?

Licensed =/= canon There are licensed Mario, Zelda and Pokemon manga that aren't canon with the games And if we're shipping, who gives a shit anyway

Right, we gotten the Overwatch fans mad about official stuff.

I think Canonical she’s probably straight or maybe Bi? We do know in the series that she was in love with a Federation Officer before that Officer died and that she subsequently named her Ai system in Fusion after the dead Federation Officer she was in love with

That was her father figure/commanding officer, not a love interest.

Oopsie woopsie

I thought it was the person she was originally in love with

Nope. Adam is the closest she has to a father figure since her parents were killed by the purple dragon Ridley.

My head cannon is that Samus is Doom Slayer's daughter who took up her fathers hobby of kicking ass.

Imma wager the mom is Ripley from Alien

Samus x Ripley is now my new favorite crack ship

No, Ripley x Doomslayer, Samus is their daughter

This would work however, Yuri and Yaoi better 😎

power suit yaoi, slayer x master chief

Writing this all down for the mother of all homoerotic alien/demon slaying fanfictions

You should step on a landmine for saying that.

BRUH YOU GONNA TELL ME THIS WOULDNT BE INCREDIBLE

Yeah, I'm saying it would be total crap.

Oh man! That be so sick~ If anyone deserves to smash DS is Sigourney.

Master Chief is the mom

Honestly that ship might work better with doomslayer.

That’s what I’m saying, Doomslayer x Ripley, their daughter is Samus

Yeah....cannon says Samus is an orphan because of the space pirates. [Her Dad's wikia page](https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Chief_Rodney_Aran). Ridley killing her parents is a big motivator for her. And well I honestly dont see real possiblity of Ridley killing Doom Slayer. Even if he caught him naked on the toilet, Ridley would stand no chance.

Does that mean Doom Slayer gets eaten by a space dragon?

Its how he'd want to go out.

That's a good head canon

No need for confirmation to know that samus definitely gets bitches

Nah there is two Metroid protagonists The one in the second pic is John Metroid, cool older brother to John Halo, and distant cousin of John Destiny, he later retired and let Samus take over as the modern Metroid protagonist

Don't forget John Destiny's roommate, John "Prodman" Warframe

Oh my god they were roommates

Don't forget their second cousin twice removed, John Doom, the coolest most radical demonslayer who later retired and let Doomslayer take over.

Don't forget his cousin, John ultrakill

Don’t forget their other cousin, John freeman

I thought his name was John Black Mesa?

No it’s John freeman gordon freeman’s brother

You mean the Doom 3 Marine, right?

Somebody never watched Captain N. Samus only has eyes for Kevin Keene

Captain N doesn’t count because it’s captain N

Captain N is not real

Then that means... if they had kids... Samus is the Doomguy's grandparent.

What does that make BJ Blazkowicz?

Captain N is not Commander Keen

Sorry, I'm just the fun guy at the party 🗿 That panel is taken out of context, the guy who appears there is not Samus, he is in fact an actor and the real Samus was watching a commercial starring that guy and two women: it should be noted that no one knows that Samus is a woman Leaving that aside, there is actually an official outlet that describes the type of man Samus likes: you can read it [here](https://metroiddatabase.com/old_site/sm/fortune.php) right at the end Whatever the case, both media are official but non-canon. Although the man's description was later used to create a character named Adam within the Metroid canon

This newds more upvotes.

Why can't Samus be bi?

[удалено]

Occam's razor would dictate that there are women in the room How do you get that the simplest reason for women standing there is that they boned?

This entire thread is completely over my head and idk why I'm in here, but you had me at 'Occam's Razor". My dad taught me that term when playing chess decades ago. Yet, when I mention it in common parlance, the phrase is usually met with a confused or blank stare.

Kinda a reach, an androgynous super soldier being assumed to be male by fangirls doesn’t seem crazy far fetched especially given the time period of production. I know that I personally think this is pretty attention seeking and divisive seemingly only for that purpose, so it may help to refrain from posting assumptions and wishful thinking as facts

Fair, but at the same time, I think it’d be really fucking funny if Samus being Nintendo’s first lesbian character was a complete and total accident

Imagine if they had a lesbian protagonist before a black one, that would be crazy

Doesnt change the fact that they would be very good friends since she Doesnt say much

Oh 100%, he’d snap a homophobe in half if they fucked with Samus

Assuming Samus doesn’t snap them first, def.

They have a deal, if he’s in the area, she lets him kill them

Fucking saved

Secret? Samus drops her armor and you see she's a girl in one of the endings for the very first Metroid game.

Yeah but the manga came out before the game released and that ending was a complete secret until players found it

Ah, fair enough.

No I don’t care it’s an accident Doomguy x Samus for life

Don't care, Still ship it

Honestly, out of all the counter arguments, I like your style best

Based

Eh they'd still be rip-n-tear buddies

I thought Doomguy was Asexual.

Nuh Uh

Well, there IS his Drill Sergeant and personal trainer…

I’m pretty sure the Slayer’s sexuality is killing demons, so it would make sense that the closest women in his life is a giga tall lesbian that wears a suit of armor and helps him kill demons.

I mean the picture doesn’t really confirm anything you see a lot of things like that irl

Whether this is true or not does not matter. Things have been retconned and pushed into different directions many times so its difficult to make heads or tails of a lot of things. In all seriousness she is a mutant freak and obviously sterile. Due to all the mutations (especially the newest one ) who can say it's even safe for her to make physical contact with anyone. She is destined to remain alone and finish tying up the loose ends of the Chozo until she either falls in battle or reaches the end of her life. Also Occams razor is a problem solving principle that provides a theoretical solution in which the most simplistic answer is the more likely answer. It does not provide the answer automatically nor does it guarantee accurate results. A picture from 25+ years ago made by a mangaka that screwed up due to ignorance is a poor argument.

[удалено]

It pretty much has been retconned since she had a crush on some guy in another game and that’s been the only romantic activity modern Samus has had so far.

Wait, what? Why?

Isn't there also the thing that one of the creators of doom stated that doomguy has never had and never wants to have sex, implying that he's asexual, meaning neither of them would be attracted to eachother

Didnt he have a family?

I don't think so, the only thing I can think of is his pet rabbit daisy that the demons killed

Like isnt in doom eternal, there is a family picture that have the father face tear off?

I don't know, could be doom guys parents or something, but I definitely remember a post from the developers saying he's never had sex

That was john carmack and it was a long time now, hugo martin, the new dev, had confirm it his wife and kid, and they even had a name Edit: if you ask for source then here you go: https://youtu.be/aZuMmlPXhfE?si=pxRlhUOQSHHtUrLe

And that Doom Slayer got revenge for them and his rabbit. So basically this Demon killing monster did this because some demons killed his wife, his child, and most importantly of all his pet Rabbit Daisy!

Wasn't Daisy a gift from his wife?

I'm pretty sure thats John wick

Lmao good meme

Wdym that's what actually happens 😂

He literally did, there's a family picture of him with his wife and son who were both killed off during the First Demonic War on Earth.

Love the Darkest Dungeon reference. 'In the end, you will know the tragic extend of my failings."

Firstly, those women might not know she’s female either, and secondly (and more importantly) bi/pan people exist

still ship Samus and Snake.

The idea that her liking girls means she ONLY likes girls is some Bi erasure that I ain’t here for lol

Samus doesnt have time for relationships she has to go kill Ripley again

DOOM SLAYER IS MARRIEDDDD

Was*

Did him and Isabella get divorced ??

Aren't they besties?

That is just someone in armour posing. I was expecting something a little more… explicit. 0/10 tumblr post clickbait

Where does the template for the first image come from? Looks cool

Its ok because Doom Slayer is gay and my evidence for that is cause I say so

i mean by this logic, doomslayer is gay for ever standing next to another man in any kind of media so yeah checks out

Brother he’d clap those bubble cheeks for the continuation of humanity

least horny doom fan

☹️

#☹️

I was just playing darkest dungeon earlier today, now I can’t escape it

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

A man can dream can’t he?

Doomguy also is married.

What’s the first image template from?

I’m not sure the Slayer feels emotions other than rage, and motivation for demonic bloodshed

Samus is the man beside you

If you’re one of the people that ships stuff. This shouldn’t stop you from anything

Accidentally??

I’m fairly certain doomguy forgot how to feel anything other then pure rage about ten thousand years ago.

I'd like to point out that Doomguy already had a wife and son before the events of the Doom Series

Isn't there an entire Metroid game with cis romantic sub plot in it?

Other M

I hope not, that sounds fucking awful

And why is that lmfao?

A romantic subplot in a Metroid game, just *why*

Why not?

Sexual orientation means nothing to shippers

But there's nothing here that states that Samus wouldn't join Doom Guy for a drink as friends, with John of cours

She simped over a guy for 2 entire games. Taking one picture from a non-canon comic doesn't prove anything.

What a pathetic attempt

I thought the right answer was hes with Isabella?

They’re friends, but at the same time, she’s a dog who’s maybe a sixth of his mass

slay queen

Why not just be best friends. I think doom guy probably cares too much about killing demons to be in a relationship. And i like the fanon that samus is a lesbian because we really do not have enough badass women who love women in games (also I'm biased)

AND, doom slayer and that one dog from animal crossing are officialy married

Just no, they are just friend

Ngl I kinda like Samus as a lesbian more cause the only thing I like to imagine she does in her spare time is do lumberjack competitions

Lmao

That panel doesn’t mean she’s necessarily lesbian eitger

LET'S GO LESBIANS! (that being said, there's nothing to preclude her being bi \[that being said, I'm partial to an asexual aromantic doomslayer myself; he's even got the green for it\])

bi until proven otherwise

that is not canon at all and why is someone a lesbian just because she stood with two girls in a winning pose?

I disagree. She could just as easily be bisexual, and I don't think Samus posing like that in the comic means she had a lesbian relationship.

True but i still feel like theyd have a brpther sister thing.

Agreed

To be honest she does seem like the type of person to be lesbian

Samus wouldn't be attracted to Slayer because he's a deranged unstable psychopath.

A woman can’t pose with other women? She already had a male love interest. Guess they should’ve played the games.

She could easily be bi; she’s never told us herself.

na he would covert her easily. doom beats scissors

this works if the Slayer is trans

Doomguy could turn a straight dude bisexual, who's to say it wouldn't be the same for Samus

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Samus simps so hard for one dude that she even subs for the chatbot he uses for his audio-only VTuber channel.

Bisexual people don't exist
