Wow! Is her character really that bad in Other M? I mean, I've heard tidbits here and there about that, but I'd like a simple, 'few-word' explanation if that.

She goes from Boba Fett to Bella Swan. And that is unfortunately not hyperbole.

She freezes up upon seeing Ridley for the first time in the game, despite having spent the last dozen major encounters endlessly kicking his tail.
She refuses to use any power ups and upgrades until Adam says so. Including the Varia suit in a magma filled cave!

And you know what the worst part is? They based her character upon the original manga in an attempt to make her a popular character in Japan*. Not a bad thing until you realise that the manga focused upon her very first outing and she was an utter rookie then, and this game ignores any character development she might have had over the many years since then.

* - Specifically Japanese who are fans of Shinji Ikari it seems.

Honestly, if people were to step back and think about it, Samus' reactions were appropriate...example, when she realized that there was a traitor on board the station, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have hesitated to shoot this person dead. Although admittedly some of the scenes were very overdone, it's Nintendo's first crack at giving Samus a voice and a personality. Yes, she is a human being and apparently has a soft side, but I was left with the impression of her still very much being the bounty hunter that doesn't like taking orders and can very much kill in cold blood. Most fans have never read the Manga, so they're probably puzzled by a couple of the game's elements. Can't say I blame them, but still if one reads the manga it explains alot. YEs, Samus is cool. She is BA. But she also is a human being with a personality with flaws. And therefore she is relatable but still very much otherworldly in her own right.

It's this tied with a w00t. Mr Croshaw, thank you for destroying a game which deserved to be verbally gutted and slaughtered.

To add some more lighter Metroid humor (Spoiler warning if you haven't played all of the Metroid Prime Trilogy):

This had me laughing from beginning to end.

I just _____ in the _____.

I laughed both times I watched it, and Shin, you have no idea how much I've been drooling to see a Zero Punctuation review of Other M, it had both me and my brother rolling XD
Someone made the mistake of letting me publish a book, check Dusted Here!

Okay, that review of Other M was just awesome. Hilarious!

By the way, I've been doing exactly what he prescribed... I've been playing Prime over again.
