Samus in a bikini did always make me kind of sad. I was never a good enough Metroid player as a kid to get that ending; I was just happy there was actually a cool kick-ass space fighter who was also a girl. When I found out she stripped for guys who were good at playing video games...well. That wasn't a happy day.

In all fairness, she didn't limit her clothing reduction to just men. She would break out the bikini for men, women, boys, girls, and anyone/anything else that could beat the game quickly.

I'd like to think that moving through Zebes so quickly caused her to break a sweat and therefore she felt compelled to air out the suit. I'm not sure how the fuck she breathes without it, but assuming that she could, getting out of the suit and cleaning it was probably a top priority.

Another thought; Samus is from the future. What if wearing less clothing is just good fashion sense in the future? I mean, in today's world girls are doing that anyways. Compare what girls wear to school now to what they wore in the 80's. Frumpy tie-die t-shirts aren't exactly "in" at the moment. I see a lot more spaghetti strapped tank tops with low cuts.

I'm just saying, lets not blame Samus for this, or if we do, at least lets agree that she isn't sexually biased.
