10 Obvious Video Game Plot Holes NO ONE Talks About
4. Samus Keeps Killing "The Last Metroid" - Metroid (Series)
In Metroid, galactic bounty hunter, Samus Aran, travels the galaxy to destroy the Space Pirates that murdered her parents. These creatures intend to create a biological weapon, using the DNA of a Metroid parasite.
In Super Metroid, the last Metroid in existence sacrifices its life to save Samus from the monstrous Mother Brain. Although the Metroid's sacrifice served a great cause, its actions led directly to the species' extinction.
Except... it totally didn't.
In sequel, Metroid: Other M, it turns out the Metroids are still around because... reasons. Later in the conclusion, Samus destroys the Metroid station, rendering them extinct... again.
But in Metroid Fusion, the sneaky parasites reveal they're still alive! Despite blowing them up in the climax (for the third time), it's revealed in Metroid Dread that... once again... they're not dead. Since Samus' life was saved with Metroid DNA in the past, she is technically considered a Metroid, meaning the creatures can never truly die while she lives.
Even though Samus "killed" the last Metroid a number of times, it's safe to assume these critters will keep popping up in future instalments.
