Woah, this is really something. Even better than the tf sequence itself. Now we just need ''Metroid Man'' (Adam in a superhero costume) to come and rescue his damsel in distress.

Yes, it sounds stupid, and it is, but by word of law she had to follow those orders.

I know you don't want to pursue this any longer, but that's far too forgiving of the design team and the game's director. Sure, it was clever idea to lock away her upgrades via orders, but the manner in which it was implemented was clumsy, ham-fisted and gravely ill-considered. Lets not bring up the spectre or Adam allowing Samus to
boil to death in her own suit rather than grant permission to activate her suit's (non-weaponised) thermal shield.
The authorisation system was supposed to marry two disparate gameplay and story elements, and failed spectacularly.
