Hairy-man 02/15/18 1:27:48 PM #1:	For a long time, I always thought that mother brain was a pathetic boss fight especially for a final boss. I always wondered why it wasnt harder. But then I was thinking, maybe its more of an emotional sequence than anything else. Maybe Mother Brain isnt supposed to be hard like Ridley or Phantoon. I mean she is the mainframe space pirate hive mind. Hell, she even looks like scared when you break her out of her capsule. She backs away and screams. What do you guys think? --- Your friendly, neighborhood Hairyman Not changing sig until REmake2 is released! Hah <cite>Hairy-man posted [p:896139812] in Thoughts o...

Romulox28 02/15/18 1:30:54 PM #5:	it's an early instance of a cinematic moment in a video game you first see mother brain looking like it did in the NES metroid, a spiky brain in a jar. then it stands up and you go OH shit. you get your ass kicked in by it, until the last metroid, the one you saved, gives up its life for you so you can get the badass hyper beam and blast the fuck out of mother brain. one of the most memorable moments in gaming history imo --- http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif <cite>Romulox28 posted [p:896140011] in Thoughts o...

Hairy-man 02/15/18 1:48:31 PM #10:	But was mother brain supposed to even be considered strong? I mean shes heavily protected by the space pirates, fortified deep within Tourian on Zebes.
