When is Samus gonna get her own animated series? All her OG Nintendo buddies got cartoons, anime, or even live-action movies. Its been over 30 years and all she got was a manga nobody read.

Maybe when Nintendo stops treating her like the child they never wanted. Metroid really only appeals to Western audiences due to being very rooted in American sci-fi aesthetics and tropes. It's straight up inspired by Alien after all. Also, the manga was decent for what it was.

She's not "expressive" enough given she's in full armor most of the time and doesn't say much (Other M doesn't count)
While a show with minimal to no dialogue like Samurai Jack and Primal could work, you have to remember those shows are the exception that prove the rule
It's telling how you can see all this fan art portraying Mario, Link, and Samus as Nintendo's trinity
But then you realize its all WESTERN fan art

Eh, the Prime games, Super, Fusion, and Samus Returns did a solid job of characterizing her. It's not really that hard to make a silent, stoic protagonist compelling.

Yep.

>make a silent, stoic protagonist compelling.
Its not hard
We've seen it in Jack and Spear already among many other examples
Its selling it to execs that's the issue

Metroid lacks a stable consistent dev so they can't reliably promote it, there's not enough regular characters to actually interact with in a way that doesn't involve shooting them, game adaptations are still a shaky market with unproven results, and the most story you'd probably get is the manga getting adapted?
If they aren't adapting Zelda yet, there's no way they'll adapt Metroid before that.

Pikachu's second party (co-owned by Nintendo but Nintendo themselves don't make Pokemon) but you're right

This
There's a dedicated Zelda team
A dedicated Animal Crossing team
A dedicated Mario Kart team (who did Arms on the side)
A dedicated Pokemon team in the form of Game Freak
Intelligent Systems does Fire Emblem and Paper Mario
HAL fucking loves making Kirby
Metroid had R&D but that died, Retro Studios hasn't made a game in almost 6 years and they also do Donkey Kong Country, and no one in Nintendo's own Japanese offices ever led development since Fusion IIRC

She definitely deserves one.
While she's badass enough in her games, I really want to see how much of a presence she has when we're not the ones in her shoes.

She’s a woman. Sorry.
