    Well, Metroid is the monster, but you play as Samus who is a woman, yes.

    The game franchise is called Metroid. The main character, Samus, is (and always has been since the 80s) a woman.

    parent root
    10 points More_Yellow_3701

    Metroid is the species you hunt down for most of the games. Aliens that are used a biological weapons due to their ability to absorb life force.

    The character is Samus Aran, a woman.

    But in Metroid Dread, the most recent 2D release, she becomes a Metroid.

    So you aren't entirely wrong for calling her a Metroid.

    But she's also a bird.

    Every time someone says “Metroid is the robot,” an angel loses its wings and Samus loses one IQ point by association.

    My favorite time someone misidentified Samus was when someone on the C team pretended to forget her name and then say “Oh yeah! Metroid! She’s so strong!” And the DM groaned and another player went “HIS! HIS name is Metroid!” So fucking good

    I'm pretty sure that's not a woman in metroids visor. But a woman's ghost in his visor, it's a pretty easy mistake to not notice that she's see through after all.

    Unfortunately obvious bait to anyone that takes a half second to think, but also effective bait because neckbeards want to talk about Samus.

    I’ve met plenty of people that didn’t know Samus was a woman.

    I’ve never met a single person who was shocked or unhappy that Samus was a woman. Just that they didn’t realize until the game told them.

    I have to be honest, my first exposure to Metroid was Super Smash Bros. My young self never considered the shape of the armor was actually her boobs and not just pockets of ammunition. Took me a while before realizing that the badass I was playing with was a woman.
