[The-Pro]

I always imagined Samus Aran as rather tomboyish anyway. I mean she is a bounty hunter.

I agree with you on the bimboization though, but for different reasons. I LIKE bimboization, but not identity death. Let her have some glimmer of her original self so she knows what she's lost. Otherwise it might as well be a different character. (An idea I'll never pursue because no one else would be interested: The realistic Samus from Prime 1 TFed into the anime style zero suit Samus. Has to deal being with being an anime chick with unrealistic proportions in a realistic world and maybe a bit of bimboization thrown in.)

But this is just a matter of taste and nothing worth getting angry about anyway.
