Quote from Prime Hunter:
I think it's more that Samus recognizes the threat of the cold immune Metroids and will do whatever she has to in order to take them down, regardless of the consequences to herself.
Except they were very clearly not cold immune. Adam froze one like thirty seconds before he tells her that you can't freeze them. And the more mature metroids from RoS could never be frozen in the first place. Adam's just a tool.
I meant Samus has this mentality after hearing about it from MB, which is why she rushes off so quickly towards Sector Zero in the first place. Remember, it's only when she finally gets to the door when the Metroid attacks her and Adam freezes it. How could we or Samus have known otherwise until that moment that it was (partially at least) a lie? Or am I simply forgetting the story since I only watched it the first time I played and MB doesn't mention the cold immunity part to her? If so, yeah, then I agree with you. But my reason for Samus running off still works as far as recognizing the threat of the Metroids themselves is concerned, cold immune or not.
And yeah, I didn't even think of the evolutions being immune already. (How'd I forget that?) Heck, since when was the Queen a fire breathing Metroid until now? Seeing as we haven't really had the evolutions play much of a role since ROS, it seems like Nintendo changes up their abilities for story purposes whenever they appear now that I think about it.
