Talk:Metroid: Mother?/@comment-3066577-20140925232725

Warning:  TL;DR/Analytical Comment Ahead

This reminds me of another creepypasta in which a guy was playing an old MMO or something and was seeing strange things in the game. However, because he admits to drinking alcohol a few times in the story, we can't be too sure if he actually saw these things or not. It's similar to this one since she's still groggy from the affects of the anesthesia, so we can't know for sure if the game was actually glitching. I personally think that, as many women who have had abortions have reported, she suffered from deep, inner guilt from killing her children. Yes, children, as in more than one. Although the pasta does NOT say whether she had more than one child, I believe she was pregnant with two or three children.

Why do I think this? In the game, she kills Kraid and Ridley, two of the three bosses in Metroid, both of whom violently distort. There's also the matter of the ending, which states, "You will be THEIR mother?". The killing of two Mother Brains also seems to support this, although only one seems to bleed and be flesh colored. However, that supports the idea of two children, so why do I think there was a third?

Well, the first mother brain battle seems to distort a bit, like Ridley and Kraid, but the second, as stated before, looks flesh colored and seems to bleed. There are even three tubes with fetuses in them prior to this oddly-colored Mother Brain. However, this Mother Brain represents more than just a third child or a metaphor for the mother terminating the pregnancy at large. Rather, having killed the three babies in the tubes, and killing this Mother Brain, she effectively terminated her own motherhood.

Regardless of whether or not my theory regarding the number of children is correct, it's quite ironic that a gaming creepypasta about abortion would feature the protagonist killing a boss named "Mother".
