The Adventures of Ridley & Kraid!

😆

If you made that sprite comic yourself, then good job. It's way better than any one I could come up with 😬...
But if you didn't make it, thanks for posting it anyway. 👆

And if that was just part 1 of this "Adventures of Ridley & Kraid" series, I'll definitely be lookin' forward to more. ✅ Speaking of those 2...

That was great, please say there is more; yes if you made it Great job ESB, all respect the great Ridley, and on a side note, the more times he was defeated the stronger and more determined he became, so you can't knock him for trying.

That was awesome! Ridley pwns all! Oh and I just came up with that idea yesterday and slapped it together. I'll do more featuring Ridley & Kraid in their never ending quest to defeat Samus. I'll have to come up with more ideas for it.

So Funny, WOW we have 5 pages, I must admit I never thought it would go this far, but as long as we the Ridley fans come back I am sure more pages will follow, I also have a question, is Ridley the last of his Kind?

I guess so. Of course the game never actually makes mention if there is more than one Ridley but that would seem pointless to bring him back to life as Meta-Ridley so it seems more than likely that Ridley is the last of his kind.

Unless he has clones, well more clones, or he has children to carry on in there fathers steps, very unlikely but you never now he may have a few swarming around the galaxy somewhere?

Heh. Yeah. I noticed that too. 😛 That's probably one of the things I like about Ridley most (as a character) as well.
First normal form. Then Meta, then Omega... what's next? (besides the X form that is) One can only wonder...

Yep. He can do that to Mother Brain too 😛 (don't know about Metroids though).

Oh, I see. In that case, great job indeed. 👆 Will definitely be looking forward to more of those 'adventures' in the future. ✅

I never dreamed it would go this far either, but yeah. I guess you're right about the 2nd part, which is a good thing.

Yes. According to the wikipedia page they used to have about him (now it's just been reduced to a mini-article 😬 ), it was stated in the manual of the original Metroid (NES) that Ridley is the last of his species, which were native to Zebes.

Yeah. Basically...

He had children with Samus that is.

Unless he's like able to reproduce asexually (by laying eggs by himself to have children or something), it's highly unlikely that there's actually clones/children of him that exist in the Metroid universe, but it's possible, I suppose...

But Zero Mission changed that to make it that the Chozo lived on Zebes and that's where Samus grew up.

Well you never know, I mean from how many times he has been defeated, he may have had children created for him, or maybe the reason he became a Space Pirate is because he lost his family, as he was there when they were wiped out, you could also say he wanted children to follow on, since he lost so many times to Sammus he knew he would need someone to follow on, and to keep their kind going, or Sammus could have killed one of his children, or mate accidentally, or during a fight, it would add allot more depth to the character and help you understand him more, as well as make him more tragic and make you feel sorry for him, think about it if Sammus killed his family, he killed her mother (in the manga) out of revenge and found himself subduing his grief by working as a SP, as well as to do it to hurt everyone like they hurt him.

I dunno. I think what makes Ridley so cool is that there is a lot of mystery surrounding him; like you don't know if he is the true leader of the Space Pirates or just a leader of a squadron or like a general and takes orders from someone else. Putting a lot of backstory to him would take away that which made him so unique. He appears in almost every Metroid game but there's very little information about him.

That is true, Villains are always better when they are mysterious, you are left to your imagination to think up the story to characters, and it gives you allot of freedom to think about it.

Well I'm starting the next part of The Adventures of: Ridley & Kraid.

Cool, Can't wait, thanks for making these there are so many LOL moments.

And that would make... what? A hybrid of a blond Bounty Hunter chick & dragon/dinosaur creature? 😛

On a side note, I see you're usin' that MP3 sig again. Nice...

Yeah. That's true, but Ridley's species (I like to call them Zebesian Dragons) most likely lived on Zebes long (possibly centuries) before the Chozo arrived. As for how every Zebesian Dragon except Ridley was wiped out, who knows? Maybe the Chozo had something to do with it when they arrived on Zebes...

Hmm. Make sense to me...

0_o @ the 2nd part...

Hmm. I guess that would explain Ridley's previous actions, from a certain perspective. Not sure if I agree with it though, but it does make sense, kinda...

Heh. That's true too...

Thus, I don't really know which side (between you and Neo Darkhalen) to agree with. 😕

Sounds good.

Heh. Same here.

And yeah. Thanks again for making these.

I guess we both make valid points, but I have to admit the classic villains are always those that have the least amount of history to their name, I mean just look at Bowser and Dr.Eggman.

I just thought it would make you understand him a bit more, to be fair something has to happen to you In order for you to turn out the way you do, for instance Dr. Eggmans grandfather the closest relative Eggman had went insane, now Eggman has stated that he became a scientist like is Grandfather and probably wanted to prove himself to his grandfathers wishes, of destroying/ruling the world since he would ruin it if he controlled it, or he could be angry for his Grandfather's imprisonment and wanted revenge, the same could go for Ridley.

And thanks again to ESB.

Oh. Speaking of that, here's a crappy (but funny) spoof I just found of it. 😛

As well as something similar...

😂

Heh. True (on both parts). That is a rather good comparison...

I second that.

Those pictures just gave me an idea for the second page.
