I remember when the first couple of game where she wears heels came out and so many people flipped their fucking lids. Feminists were acting like the nineteenth amendment got overturned and talking about her like she'd come out as a facial abuse pornstar.
I personally never understood it. Samus lives in an era where genetic modification is so good that you can get surgery to become half-Chozo, and live, and still look like a normal person afterwards. There's every reason to think that most people in the Metroid universe are similarly beautiful.
I think the contrast of a hulking space marine death machine revenge-fueled murderfucker robot that turns out to be piloted by a glamorous latex model is really neat. It wasn't wildly unique even in its own time; stuff like Appleseed already existed, but it was the first time I'd ever been exposed to the idea and I bet that's true for a lot of people.
