Talk:Metroid: Mother?/@comment-9281274-20150416152830

Once again I have to sing praises for your incredible images. They were disturbing, stylish, creepy, and horrofyingly goregous. This already puts it on the level of good creepypastas but luckily the story and concepts here help elevate this story to gratness as well.

SPOILERZ:

I love the subversive twist on the haunted gaming trope. Not only is it geniunely unexpected (I only predicted it before the last few paragrpahs so that's also a plus) it also makes sense and is a clever way to go creepy.

I also feel thast Metroid was a perfect choice for these type of concepts. Metroid always had this dark atmosphere and also had themes of troubled Parenthood (Samus' Backstory, the baby Metroid from Super Metroid) so it made sense to me.

There's only two "problems" (if you can call them that).

One: How did the friend know to make some images flicker? Did he just follow the notes exactly, did the protagonist ask him to do the flickers on those specifics?

Two: The ending was a bit...forced at least to me. I thought the idea was brilliant and the clues were sublte yet plenty. I just thought the ending paragrpahs was a bit too "Viewers are Morons" where the Narrator just flat out explained it and it didn't feel as natural as everything else.

Other than that though, it's no wonder this wonder the pasta of the month! You sir are amazingly talented!
