In an alternate universe : The Mother Brain is the wife of the Father Brain. After a bad marriage and divorce which left her a emotional wreck, she fell into the wrong crowd and became a criminal. She later rose to the top, became the space pirate leader and decided to use the Metroids to attack the Federation in an attempt to get revenge on her ex-husband who is now the Leader of the Federation. Ironically, she stopped by her own daughter, Samus Aran the bounty hunter, who, as a baby, was sent to an orphanage as a result of the divorce and was adopted by the a wise elderly couple named Chozo who needed a child to inherit their fortune as they were infertile.
Wow....
wise elderly couple
In an alternenate universe mother brain goes by the name thanos
On God

Do NOT Question The Laws of Bird Magic!
Alvin The Sommar, how has not one person commented on this comment that commented in this comment section on this video, made by a channel with the same name as a frigate
I died at that part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok
I see a semblance of duality with Samus and Mother Brain Who would win A supercomputer with with knowledge of the galaxy, an army of super/bio weapons, and space pirates at its disposal... Or A shooty bounty hunter with PTSD and a Jellyfish
Jellyfish
Who would win? A fragile brain in a jar Or A bounty hunter with highly advanced technology and a metroid, one of the most powerful life forms in the universe?
It depends if the supercomputer destroys or not the jellyfish
Other M is like a D&D campaign where the DM focuses more on their own NPCs than the players.
ridley: unleash our greatest fighter! -god on earth- "crocomire": YAY
Don't you dare question the logics of Bird Magic
"Unleash our greatest fighter!" *"YAY!"*
"there's no war if the population is 0" -mother brain probably
Raven Beak and Mother Brain may just be the two worst parents in the galaxy, and Samus was lucky enough to get both of them
_Pffft!_ "Parents" as in *gene donors* at most. One could make an argument about Mother Brain helping train Samus, but Raven Beak contributed with nothing but his DNA. That's it. He didn't even interact with Samus in her childhood. After her own biological parents, the Chozos were her real family. Specially Grey Voice and Old Bird. If anyone deserves to be considered Samus' second parents, it would be those two. ^_^
Can I just say your artstyle is kinda awesome. Especially Samus, she just looks so cute.
That's chibi samus. Not his artstyle that I know of.
@@Clod15 I've never seen the art style anywhere before.
@@PlayerZeroStart I don't think it really matters "whose art style" it is. More important is who drew it and if the series can be viewed somewhere!
@@IanSuffix He probably commissioned it.
I'm happy they use the Zero Suit design from Samus Returns with the dark patches. Suit looks sick.
I like how your typical background is samus’ chest

9:53 That's not a "mysterious creature": it's the core of VEGA, who, just like Mother Brain, is an A.I.
Yeah but HE'S really nice.
@Jorge Reyes Nah, the Doom Slayer just made a back-up of VEGA's saves on a memory card.
@@JaelinBezel Also it turns out VEGA is actually God.
@@joethehero2 i don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m still stuck on the room full of demons right before the bodyguard of the second Hell Priest. They just keep coming.
@@JaelinBezel He's talking about the ending of the Doom franchise, which is the "The Ancient Gods" DLC story for Doom: Eternal. Story goes bonkers in that.
Remember when Mother Brain looked like an elephant (two eyes, tusks, and a tube that looked like a trunk)? I kind of want to see that form make a return. It's not as iconic as the Super Metroid design, but it would be cool as like a secret boss or NPC that could be an in-universe prototype for her.
Looking back at this, the "creature" in DOOM 2016 is Vega. Vega is a friendly AI that run the operations in the mars facility and is currently seen acting as on-board AI assistant for the doom marine in DOOM eternal. It's cool because Vega is genuinely a nice guy and in spite of his core room looking creepy the Doom guy surprisingly hesitates in deleting him and opts to make a backup before initiating a meltdown in the game. (Setting up the why on how vega is still around in the second game,)
Kinda wished Mother Brain's memories resurfaced within Melissa. Would have made the battle between her and Samus a lot more personal.
You had my like at the first Andross' quote.
I just had to use them since I love Star Fox

This ain't a Nintendo game and I think it's only a mere coincidence. But in the game Bloodborne, in the area called "Nightmare of Mensis", there is a large brain thing covered in eyeballs and some arms that the player can drop down into the dark abyss and kill. It's called "Brain of Mensis", but it is also referred to as "Mother Brain".
Huh, never knew that on account of not playing Bloodbourne
Thats more of a lovecraft old god reference.
@@Jbayz or a DND Beholder reference
@@TheOrpheon 4:34 *Samus kills Phantoon* Me: Why Did You Kill Phantoon!?
I think the Brain of Mensis is more of a mix of Lovecraft and DnD, rather then a reference to Mother Brain herself. The brain motiff is the only thing that is similar, but the rest is pretty different. The Brain of Mensis is literally TRAPPED, *chained up* to its tower and when you release them, he falls down and becomes 100% harmless. The thing feels more like an enforced prisoner, compared to the mastermind in control that Mother Brain always is. Its dangerous gaze is only part of its nature as a Great One or a Kin, which ties it more to the Lovecraftian aspect of Bloodborne.
Bird magic That's absolutely true. Every question about Samus and metroids and other shit can be explained with *Bird magic*
That SA-X art at 11:37 looks awesome.
No u
No me
it looks like if samus' armor had varicose.
It looks very angry.
4:39 Crocomire, truly the space pirates greatest fighter.
4:43 - That moment right there made my heart melt. No pun intended.
Unleash our greatest fighter! Uhh... YOU are our greatest fighter. Oh Yeah... I really wished it turned out that way instead.
Actually crocomire is invulnerable to samus weapons and was only killed by the acid bath
Sick, Battle Network background music.
Was looking for this comment. I knew it, just needed confirmation lol
I have an off the wall idea for you. What if the Space Pirates were all engineered by Mother Brain, and Ridley was her co-conspirator? You stated in the other video about the Chozo Memoires that the "armada" that turned on the Chozo Scientists was led by a mysterious Warrior Chozo. What if he turned out to be Ridley, and he was "altered" into the Space Pterodactyl Dragon we all fear. (Chozo are birds / birds on earth are evolved dinosaurs) Motherbrain altered Ripley's DNA so that he would be a stronger, more adaptable, and more powerful fighting force. Motherbrain's own words state the Space Pirates are, "hierarchical programming is decided at the genetic level". So what if Motherbrain started it all, behind the back of her Chozo creators.
According to the og Metroid manual he is being controled by MB.
Sorry but that chozo is Raven Beak
Despite dread proving this comment wrong, I will say it's a good thought! Mother brain using DNA altering and manipulation to create the pirates however she wanted kinda makes sense, given what the chozo were capable of.
3:20 A little plot hole that I didn’t notice until now: Mother Brain designed and made the Power Suit (and prolly by extension all of its powers). So why are the Space Pirates still stumped by the Morphball technology? It’s in the official lore from the games that the Space Pirates have tried to replicate this technology, but to disastrous results…which doesn’t make much sense with Mother Brain, (creator of the Power Suit) on their side.
The central ai core from dread is basically a more simplified version of mother brain
I guess the Mawkins, or at least, Raven Beak) were inspired by Mother Brain's design to construct those things? They DID imprison a single Thoha scientist to work for them, so maybe Raven Beak had Quiet Robe help create those things. They _DO_ feel like an intentional flaw, being constructed precisely to act as the main computer running the bots and security systems of certain areas, while also *conveniently* being the source of an extremely powerful (though temporary) energy. Maybe Raven Beak did not have them built for the purpose of them being used in conjuction with the E.M.M.I.s, but that sure as hell is what his plan became when the Federation sent those robots first instead of Samus. _(gotta hand it to the bastard, he is good at adapting his plans to changes)_
@@MrDibara Letting Samus drain the Central Units was a part of his "put Samus through enough shit that she goes feral" plan.
NEVER question Bird Magic! NEVER!

@@TheOrpheon Yeah its ma hood , Crocomire channel is my ;)
4:12 what a coincidence that you used Raven beak as the chozo whose DNA Samus was infused with
Thats just a generic chozo...
@@nerosoul2506 No it's not, it's Raven Beak from the last Chozo memory image in Samus Returns which depicts how Raven Beak's tribe massacred the other Chozos.
Mother Brain will heal the Universe from the Parasites called "Humanity".
That's impossible, they just keep breeding. It's like trying to kill Judy Hopps. If you kill her, she comes back in another fanfic.

He just went out to get smokes....he will be right back I'm sure.

3:47 Why does Mother Brain sound like Dr. Doofenshmirtz and why does Phantoon sound like Rodney? I don't know, but it's awesome!
Kudos for acknowledging the fact that Other M exists, and did in fact happen. I'm one of the seven people in the universe that didn't mind that game so much, so it's nice to be reminded that oh yeah, Mother Brain was in that. I also liked that Samus had a PTSD attack when she saw Ridley again, which was actually something from the manga that you reference in your video. Of course everyone else hated it (her PTSD, not your video) but I thought it was a nice moment in the game.
I usually never bother to write a comment but this video right here ... greatly done, alot of humor and serious lore on the side! Thank you for putting so much effort into this i loved it!
I love that you mentioned the Singularity reference. I don't know how well known that game is, but it's a super good one and it's fun to see it get a mention!
She's probably like the third most iconic Character in the metroid series behind ridley and of course samus aran
Dread certainly adds some interesting points to add to this
This is a really great video. Super Metroid one of my favorite games, but I never knew the backstory of Mother Brain or Samus.
Bro the choices of music in this video is great!
Love the Battle Network music Man, keep it up.
Wait... so mother brain is thanos as a brain? Thanos brain Thanos brain
Wew! Another character video! Great job Orpheon, I love these!
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you look forward to future videos
Im loving all the megaman music in the background lol good video
Flying Cheerios of Doom?! XD oh my God, that's hilarious! Wonder if Mother Brain eats those for breakfast despite being a supercomputer....and if they're only consumable by the Supercomputer.....
Why doesnt this channel have a lot a subs its a great channel specifically on Metroid great narrator , videos he should have more support I subed today and good videos cant wait for the merch
Wow. So Samus is a bioengineered superweapon who turns on the AI who betrayed her adoptive parents and its followers. Epic storyline that's masterfully drawn out while being well fleshed out.
Thank you for continuing to make videos! A few minutes ago i watched you last video and taught:”When will he make another video?”
Don't mention it, love entertaining you guys, I wish I could focus more time on Orpheon but since its a side gig I first need to dedicate my time to getting 'bread and butter' which leaves Orpheon as a side project
That “creature” in doom is a supercomputer named Vega, who serves as a partner for Doomguy and Dr. Samuel Hayden.
Does Vega count as a computer?
5:54 Greatest name ever
That megaman battle network music unlocked ancient memories in me
Destroy half of everything? NOPE, DESTROY! Never underestimate Bird magic....
Such a great video, excellent 10/10.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU EDIT YOUR VIDEOS
Thanks, been getting better at it with each video. All a matter of finding a style
Mother Brain: No you can't just do that! Samus: Ha Ha gun go pew pew.
I like to believe that Mother Brain has the power of the 90’s packed into that Rainbow Laser
I love that the raven beak is next to Samus when he’s talking about the fusion
Gotta love those segments with your chibi art.
Also the Banjo-Kazooie music is perfect for that.
That Mega Man Battle Network music brings up so many good childhood memories
Thank you for this awesome video
Wow, just this morning I was trying to remember which video had the "We did it guys.... we did it!" bit, and then this appears on my newsfeed hahahaha (I'd love to see you use it as a running joke for other dumb stuff in the games)
Its been a while since I used the running jokes so I decided to incorporate them once again, just in time for the video
Tfw you realize Samus is a walking talking nuclear bioweapon
Infused with bird magic
That Banjo-Kazooie music was perfect
Ridley: UNLEASH OUR GREATEST FIGHTER - me! Mother Brain: No Ridley: Okay... -Draygon!- Crocomire then
She's kinda like Brainiac from the Superman comics. She's literally a Brainiac.
Man, i wonder if mother brain really knew about the experiments on sr388 and if she knew about the metroid primes
Depends on what canon you believe in. Are you a Sakamoto Purist? Then there is no Phazon. Are you a big happy timeline kinda guy then yes. It's most likely that the remaining pirates told her about what happened to their forces with the majority dying during the phazon collapse and the rest decimated by chibi soldiers in oversized exosuits. (They really didn't add that much hight, It's Ridley Scotts Power Loader with a laser blaster really). And about the events on SR388. I don't know. I don't think that she knew about it, because otherwise we would have seen a lot more Omegas guarding ol' Jarbrain. Maybe she did but had no control over any stage beyond larva. So either she didn't know about it or she couldn't use the results.
The Chozo couldn’t control alphas, so I doubt MB could either.
YAY another video!
I really like your videos! Do you draw the charactes yourself, because the sequences with them are hilarious!
In DOOM 2016, the mysterious creature is actually the core of VEGA, an AI by Dr. Samuel Hayden, so a lot more parallels to Mother Brain.
If you think about it, her unintentially creating samus means mother brain, had, by accident, completed her true purpose.
You play the wrong Banjo Kazooie music, when the space pirates are talking
Lol I love the Star Fox dialogue at the beginning.
I like the manga backstory - Chozo created mother brain that ended up destroying them just as mother brain created samus that did the same to her.
Mother brain had a child with sonic the hedgehog named soniqua. Don’t forget that crucial bit of lore
I also love the art style
10:22 I didn't notice the reference thanks for pointing out.
Mother Brain was only choosing sides of the Space pirates AFTER Ridley took control of the area where Mother brain was in. I believe this is so becayse Ridley was originally a Chozo who fused his own DNA with the Metroid DNA. Grey Voice (One of the Chozo saving Samus from her home planet and the Chozo who gave Samus her Chozo blood) sided with Ridley and Mother Brain. (Manga canon story) Grey Voice fixed Ridley from Genetic Flaws and added Chozo Tech into Ridley. Ridley always looked down at weaker species and before the Metroids were created the greatest creature was the Chozo. Ridley knew he had to fuse himself with Metroid DNA to become an even greater creature. He seriously looks like a mix of a Chozo and a Zeta/Omega Metroid(metroid 2 on the gameboy). The wings, the bird-evolved Metroid look, the ability to consume other creatures to regenerate (Ridley eats dead humans, most likely the parents of Samus as well to regenerate) Ridley's obsession and high risks of taking Metroids is fueled by the fact that Ridley KNOWS Metroids are this strong because he himself is for a big part a Metroid. Can someone please make a Ridley theory based on this?
Only I have the brains to rule...Lylat??? Um, mother brain, that's the wrong game!!! But seriously, I love this video. This was actually the first video of yours that I watched, and helped me get in touch with the deep Metroid lore. Thanks for such great content!
I enjoy the fact that you use music fron Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Starforce in the background of your videos.
Never question the laws of bird magic
Loved your video. But are you ever going to talk about the origin of Metroid Prime?
Yeah, I'll probably talk about it at some point
@@TheOrpheon Awesome! Can't wait for your take on the matter. Metroid Prime is the first form of the most dangerous character in the franchise second only to Adam. Yet no one thought about where it came from. Weird right? Thx for answering btw.
Captain N mother brain is the most relatable iteration. Who can forget that sassy persona?
Awesome new artwork.
Awesome video!
Anyone else hoping Melissa Bergman would change into colossal Mother Brain or at least fight as she was: evading shots and attacking with telekenisis. Similar to Dark Samus fights.
I swear to God, if one day they decide to remake Other M into a much better title, they BETTER add something similar to that as a change! And instead of just having the Federation squad kill her unceremoniously, have both Samus AND 7th Platoon take her down *TOGETHER!* Y'know... create that BOND she had with her old team!
What if Samus had joined Mother Brain?
Not even old bird understands the laws of bird magic
A channel dedicated to Metroid???? :Smashes sub button so hard it cracks screen:

"Only I have the brains to rule Lylat?" Did I hear this correctly? If so, Samus, DO A BARREL ROLL!
Yes you did, I ship andross with MB like I ship samus with elma haha
