Board 8 > The thumbs-up sign had been used by the Galactic Federation for ages.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Me, I was known for giving the thumbs-down during briefing. I had my reasons, though. Commander Adam Malkovich was normally cool and not one to joke around, but he would end all of his mission briefings by saying, "Any objections, Lady?" He was joking, but others weren't. At the time I felt surrounded by people who treated me like a child or used kid gloves because I was a woman. And yet, with Adam, I was grateful for the nod. My past has left me with an uneasy soul, and as a result, it touched me on some level that Adam would acknowledge that past by calling something delicate, like "Lady." And I knew more than anyone that every word from Adam was deliberate. My thumbs-down was a twofold response: a sign of derision at being called a lady, and a signal of my complete understanding of the mission orders. The other soldiers were always willing to support me with easy smiles despite the fact that I clearly had so much yet to learn. Among them was Anthony. In the face of his well-meaning behavior, and that of the other soldiers, my response was to become increasingly bitter. I was a child, always with something to prove. A chip on my shoulder. And I was angry. I felt that if I let my guard down, I would easily be broken. And beyond that, I was scared. But even in the naivete of my youth, I could see in Adam's joking manner how close he felt to me. Adam knows my past. And he knows me better than anyone else. Confession time. Because I was so young when I lost both of my parents, there's no question I saw Adam as a father figure. When I rebelled against him, I knew I could get away with it. And his paternal compassion in the face of my rebellion reinforced the special bond I felt with him. I understood well that chances were slim that I would ever find anyone that understood me like Adam. And yet, when the time came, I still left his side. I was so young. Young and nave...

ok

The thumbs-down part is kinda lame, but honestly I think the rest of this monologue works. There are plenty of other parts of Other Ms writing that are just bad, but I dont think this is one of them

---

Other M is probably the one case where I will agree with people who criticize portrayal of female characters in media. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Samus in any of the other Metroid games

deep down Anagram secretly enjoys that he can pretend Samus is saying all these things about him

Samus was in the room of Ridlety. She hated him. But did she love him?

Also.

"Samus i know we must kill each other but there is a secret. I love you." rildey propestioned

Samus was a shocker. "Ridley, there are feelings too, but is it really sex?"

Ridleys head nooded. "Yes sex."

Samus shook her head but then jumped on ridley but instead of dragooning she made out. There were passion and she was ready to unblow the bottle that she had kept secret for the entire life of womaning and scornless. Life that was far too short for guessing. Even if the wrong guess turned out to be the right.

You could truly see the cultural influence of other M when they turned its famous thumbs-up and thumbs-down signs into emojis

Malkovich Malkovich. Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich.
