Talk:Ridley (Metroid)

message: The images are in desperate need of organization, but I have no idea how to get things to look nicer.  Anyone know how to make things so the images go something like this?

And so on. Help? ^^' --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 18:26, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
We're working on that, it's just Wikimedia lacks Metroid images. All they show is thier logos and fan art. Plus copyright is very strict here, so it's gonna be challenging for us to post an image of Ridley. I've tried looking to see if Ridley are in other Metroid related articles, but none are found.
Can someone please import an image of Ridley, so we can include his photos in this article. (no fan art and cosplay will be nessecary). GeekFreak98 (talk) 15:20, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Okay, I know that NCL completely ignored all of the wacky eightiesish Metroid stuff what NoA and their underlings came up with, and all that was for the greater good. =)
Yet, there's one thing that I want to... remember weirdly. Samus' gunship was featured in Captain N. It looked weird.
The point is, one of those comics - either Captain N or some other illustrative Nintendo Comics System bit - also had Ridley in them. It's not in one l33t site which had scans of most of these comics, so my luck is not that good. It's intriguing because this particular two-page comic had the basic history of the Metroid game, featuring more weird speculation on Mother Brain's role etc, and also had cute drawings of Ridley and Kraid in a sort of a cameo role, pacing on the surface of Zebeth with Kraid looking over his shoulder at the invading metroids flying all around.
Anyone remember that one or know the original publication issue? The reason I'm asking because I only got the Finnish edition, kind of hard to tell anything from that, and besides, it's not at my hand right now anyway... =/ --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 01:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've marked the page as in need of copyediting, particularly the opening paragraph, Leader of the Space Pirates and Metroid Prime sections.  I've attempted to clean up Metroid Fusion, but the language there was so unclear as to make it difficult to determine the intended meanings in some cases. Moppet 07:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyediting

message: Okay, I reworded the bit about Alien series - at least I haven't heard of any real interviews or anything where the Metroid folks would directly say the games were really inspired by Alien series. However, the similarities are there.
Yet, I think I have heard vague, vague, vague, very vague ramblings about Alien rights holders suing Nintendo and Ridley getting his name as a result. Doesn't sound too plausible to me though (as Ridley was introduced in the first game and with that name too), was that just one of those weird internet rumours? --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 20:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

message: User:210.10.155.138 added a note about Ridley appearing in a Prime 3 trailer, although looking over an ostensible copy of that trailer I didn't see anything matching the description.  I added a source citation for the E3 prime3 coverage, but the description could use a better one. Moppet 09:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It looks so tacky and should be replaced with a still image of it. Buzda 04:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Someone please replace that animated Mecha-Ridley pic 

message: In Super Metroid, Ridley's tail attacks seem to be the only thing that can knock Samus out of the Screw Attack
I don't know if this is noteworthy enough to put in the article, though. Any opinions? Digital Watches 23:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. Thought not. Thanks for the clarification. --Digital Watches 01:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ridley Scott relation? 

message: Someone brought up over at the villiage pump that this seems an odd choice for the article you get when you type in "Ridley".  I would like to move this article to Ridley (Metroid character) or some such, and then move Ridley (disambiguation) here.  Just thought I'd throw out this warning. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 15:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with primary disambiguation. If you look at the disambig page though, you'll notice that this Ridley is pretty much the only thing that is named just Ridley, which is probably why it's survived here for so long. I also suggest the target destination for this page be Ridley (Metroid) since Ridley is possibly not just the name of one character (may be the species name as well) and it's shorter. --tjstrf talk 18:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I orginally thought Ridley (Metroid), but then thought that some confused person might think that there was a Meteoroid called Ridley, and that Wikipedians can't spell. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 19:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A draconic, purple, semi-organic, meteoroid species? Or are we supposing they would also think the pictures and content were vandalism? Strikes me as an unlikely error. --tjstrf talk 19:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: What's all this about? I played that part of the game recently and I only saw Meta-Ridley twice on the Frigate; in the grapple beam room, and when you complete your escape. Luigi "Kurai" III 17:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Seriously, I'm pissed more than ever for hovering my mouse over the image of ridley.
Is there ANY way a new image can get uploaded? 'cause that's some SERIOUS spoilery right there.GreenAiden555 02:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That image is not a spoiler in the lest. He show up like that in the introduction stage. It's not like it's a pic of Omega Ridley. --Bobby D. DS. 02:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ...O_o Yes, it is. Just hover your mouse over the image. And, I just killed ridley(again) on a different file, and have been watching the E3 demo/trailer....NOT the same ridley.GreenAiden555 06:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I see. Well it not like someone will realize that unless they know who Omega Ridley is already. --Bobby D. DS. 22:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They just have to hover over the image, and BAM! Spoiled.GreenAiden555 00:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like it would just be a simple matter of renaming the file. Then BAM! No spoilers when you hover over it.Trashydrummer 00:16, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I've beaten it, too. Yes, it doesn't look 100% EXACTLY like omega, but damn, does it look close.GreenAiden555 21:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The image is concept art of Meta-Ridley. Also Meta-Ridley and Omega Ridley have the same model, the only difference is color. --Bobby D. DS. 22:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. That is definitely a picture of Meta Ridley. Someone should change the description.Trashydrummer 06:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a description, it's the title of the image page, :Image:Omega Ridley.jpg. To change it, one would have to re-upload the file to a new page, which really isn't worth it, especially for a non-free image. I know that adding a caption to an image causes that caption to appear when the mouse is hovered over an image, instead of the image title, but I don't know what to do about an image in an infobox. Wikipedia is not censored for spoilers, anyway. --Herald Alberich 20:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image=Spoiler 

message: Has anyone besides me noticed a size inconsistency with Ridley? Barring Metroid Classic, Ridley's size seems to have changed from being a little larger than Samus to being large, to being massive. The X version was massive, but the frozen version was only a little bigger than Samus. Bu then in Metroid Prime 3 he's big enough for Samus to fit into his mouth. It's not quite as big as Bowser's size issue, but still. Think it's worth mentioning? Probably not.Three-Tail 04:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, i really don't think it's worth mentioning. Yeah, his size does change when he's omega ridley, but other than that, I don't really see a size difference.GreenAiden555 21:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size inconsistency 

message: As cool as it looks, it shouldn't be the main image.  The Super Metroid art is probably the best way to represent him.  The Omega Ridley form deviates considerably from his standard appearance. 75.153.231.20 12:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This image is better, but it needs copyright info. --Bobby D. DS. 19:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagreed. Ignoring his evolution "chronologically" in the series, the most up-to-date rendition of the character should be up. SM Ridley is a classic, but MP3 Ridley is his current depiction. 98.199.186.160 20:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
