The Flora and Fauna of Metroid's Planet Zebes

Ойындар

#metroid #lore #science
Zebes is the primary setting of the original Metroid, its remake Zero Mission, and Super Metroid. An old colony of the birdlike Chozo species, Zebes' flora and fauna are quite unique. But how do they compare to our expectations about alien life in our universe?

    Always up for a Metroid video. Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time and I've been gaming since 1983.

    Nice, didn't expect this video, but as a Metroid fan seeing your type of breakdown on Zebes (and related info) was a cool surprise!

    One could make the argument that, from the perspective of anaerobic organisms, we are extremeophiles considering our ability to thrive within a highly corrosive and toxic (to their perspective) O2-rich environment.

    Commercials are never accurate, especially ones from the 80-90's. You're lucky they even pronounced the game title right lol

    I would love more Metroid things! Also I would like to know out of interest how you arrived at the value for Zebes' surface gravity since there's a whole discussion around that topic.

    Does someone need an intervention because of their... "interest" in the Mycelial network? :) Srly though that inserted clip always cracks me up.

    Glad you pronounce the name of the planet right. A lot of people pronounce its like "zeebs" but you know it's "zeb-es" because of the weird typo in the first metroid game calling it "zebeth"
