Since I can talk about Metroid again and finally learned the forum move has been done, I’m responding to an objection to my position on a certain thread.
That thread was closed because “Another one bites the dust” without my position having been actually debunked and while I was writing a reply, so it’s OK to continue this.
Dragonmasterxyz: “Low-End Inconsistencies exist. I guess we should downgrade every character for low end feats. Next.”
1) How do we know those two moments are low-end outliers? High-end outliers, as well as low-in-canon-level works and misinterpreted “high-end moments”, exist too.
1.1a) Metroid: Samus & Joey was licensed by Nintendo but not written or even supervised by them, as they just let Kouji “draw it freely”, so it’s not as reliable as the games.
1.1b) The Magazine Z manga must have the same problem, as it has inconsistencies (I'm not counting the one with Other M), so it’s not as reliable as the games either.
1.1c) And even if those manga series were the same canon level as the games, their “high-end moments” still would be actually misinterpreted ones or total outliers.
1.2a) A misinterpreted moment from a game: Tallon Metroids survived Tallon IV’s Leviathan’s impact? They were taken to the planet by Space Pirates years after the crash.
1.2b) Another one: Dark Samus survives the destruction of Dark Aether, which was converted into energy? The planet was in another dimension, so she must’ve used her teleportation ability or the portal before the bounty hunter; and the planet also needed planetary energy to exist, so it collapsed because of having lost all of its energy.
2) Seriously, it’s not only the moments shown in the first two links, but also the official data and sandstone reference shown in the others.
As a conclusion said for a second time, canon in fiction is determined by general content.
