You will never find as many iron chunks in the wild as you will want for Great/Ultra Balls and their variants; they just aren't as plentiful. If you're anything like me, you'll need to buy them by the hundreds.

Also did they really change thier group name from Shadow Sirens?

Yes, they're actually referred to as the Three Shadows in this version of the game (which is actually a closer translation to the Japanese version, which refers to them as the Shadow Trio)

In this version Beldam outright refuses to refer to themselves as a group in any way that implies femininity -- purely to try to stick it to Vivian, who she doesn't regard as a sister and whose trans identity she does not support.

Didn't really care for it. The experience feels cheapened when you just farm up a bunch of rupees to get the vast majority of your new capabilities rather than traditionally finding them in dungeons.

It ended up having the same sort of problem as BotW and its sequel (except these games took it even further and just gave you all those capabilities in the "tutorial" section and then turned you loose): being a little too open-ended for its own good.

I didn't care for it much (tbh I haven't cared much for the new "glass cannon" approach they've been taking with Samus, which basically started in Fusion... ZM and the Prime series are the last Metroid games I've liked) but it wasn't terrible or anything.

To Fusion's credit, even though it is the point where Samus starts taking ridiculous amounts of damage from almost everything, it is the game that still gives you the most energy tanks out of any Metroid game to sorta compensate.

Eh, this feels unfair. I can go to a movie theater and expect people to behave, although the one I go to is upscale. I've been to shitty inner city Eastwick theaters, and god, they barely even have air conditioning.

There's quite a difference between complaints of behavior and complaints about... the sound of crunching popcorn, which is what this topic is about.

Popcorn is like the primary concession served at a movie theater. You know it's going to be there. By going to a movie theater, you are accepting that there will be a bunch of people in the room with you and most of them will probably be having popcorn. If you don't like that, there are other ways to view movies such that you don't have to.

Not as weird of a take as willingly going to something where you know there will be loads of people and then complaining about the loads of people, imo

Particularly when you yourself admit there is an alternative way to view these movies without having to deal with loads of people

Why do people go to see a movie where they know dozens of other people will be present watching it in the same room, and then bother to complain about noise?

People pay for this sort of experience, too. I've never understood it. It's one thing when it's something like airplane travel and it's necessitated, but this is a totally optional activity that's supposedly for leisure.
