It doesn't help that Other M draws a lot from Metroid Fusion, which had Adam (the AI) in it and didn't have this issue. Samus had an internal narration that was consistent with the quiet badass we've seen in previous Metroid games. It wasn't the....whatever Other M was. And yet Other M was HEAVILY drawing from Fusion (the Nightmare is even a boss) while still managing to botch its writing.

Batman vs Superman 6/10
I FINALLY got around to watching this. Just the regular theatrical version. After everything I’ve seen & heard, I was expecting this to be a monumentally awful film. God help me, I watched all of MovieBob’s 3+ hours of ranting about it. His explanation of the Martha scene had the unintended effect of making me see the meaning of it & that it was more than just their mom’s having the same name that made Batman realize how far he’d lost his way.
Anyway, it was just average. There’s some bad pacing issues & a plot that makes no sense, and you have to dumb down both Bats & Supes in order to make this thing work. Like- really? Superman couldn’t figure out a way to outwit Lex instead of letting himself be manipulated into fighting Batman? I guess they just needed some reason to get them to fight. Why does Lex have any interest in having Batman fight Superman anyway? That kinda came out of left field. Unless I missed a piece of dialogue. Like, okay? Did Lex even mention Batman until it was time to send Superman off to fight him? And how does he know that Batman is preparing to fight Bats anyway? This plot fails so hard at every turn. I honestly didn’t hate Jesse Eisenberg as aLEXander Luthor, and I thought I would. That surprised me. I don’t know. I just kept waiting for the super rage to kick in & it never did. It’s not a great movie. But it’s not the 1/10 that so many people claim.
It’s a bloated summer blockbuster, trying too hard to set up sequels. It’s average with a nonsense plot that makes no sense when you spend more than a minute thinking about it, with some truly bad CGI during the final battle, BUT it’s not *THAT* bad.
