I kinda realized he's never been assumed dead on a planet that exploded before, too. For some reason I thought that happened at the end of Prime 1...
So I guess it would be reasonable of her to be surprised at him coming back after being atomized rather than seemingly shot to death.
Then again the Pirates work [tornado fang]ing fast. In Zero Mission he lands like 4 hours in, then you kill him shortly after, then some 2-4 hours later you fight MECHA RIDLEY!!! So it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to take off from Zebes with his remains while Samus is otherwise occupied.

I would say that was definitely what was going on, except it wasn't outright said in the story, so ultimately it's a theory.
Let's talk about Ridley once more (THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING)
Why wouldn't Samus get equally upset the first time he's revived - Metroid Prime 1, I think? - when she's bound to be just as unprepared for his return?
And, are we dismissing Prime 3's Pirate Home World canonicity? I mean, they weren't Zebesians, but Ridley was a Space Pirate leader, wasn't he?

It doesn't hurt to listen to it but that's about as far as I'm willing to go. It's very bland, like stuff out of a film (Disney films notwithstanding).

Okay I have beaten the game and am not quite happy with the story. Ridley scene could've been a flashback to the first time they fought and it would've made perfect sense to me since they already demonstrated that Samus was entirely human when she was younger (which we wouldn't know from previous games), but this is like the 5th time he gets revived and she has to put him down, and only now do the symptoms manifest? ...It may be psychologically accurate, but in video games you're supposed to go with what feels realistic, not what actually is.
But I actually had a bigger problem with the Sector Zero cutscene. It was rather unclear why Adam shot Samus - his explanation made no sense, he shot her so she wouldn't shoot the infant with her superior weaponry that would work wherever his did and then some - although I could buy that it was just an excuse and actually meant to stop her from going into S0 instead of him. More than that, I had little emotional connection with Adam (and by extension his heroic sacrifice) since I had only seen him talk for all of like 20 seconds total. Faceless orders don't count, at all. And probably most irritating, Samus reacting exactly like she did when she was an emotional teenager suggests she hasn't matured at all - meaning she's a girl, not a woman.

Only real other complaint is that the music sucks.

Of course, occasionally the games become worse because of those supervisors, since they often don't actually know anything about videogames... But Capcom generally know what they're doing.

Yeah, I did think it was going to be much bigger.
Oh, I just thought of a new question: Is there going to be any sort of hotswapping between X/Zero? That was an awful lot of fun in Xtreme 2, how you could just jab select and instantly change playstyle completely as the situation demanded, though you had to work for it.
And another thing: the damage shield seems to be much shorter than usual, X is vulnerable again after like half a second rather than 1.5 or whatever it is in X1-3.
