Reasons why he shouldn't be in: And, like you said, "I can go on, but there are honestly too many stupid reasons to waste my time on."
 * Would be too similar to other characters
 * Fans would hate Sakurai if he makes Ridley wrong
 * He's literally too big: even if made to be the size of Charizard, his head hitbox would be huge allowing him to be the most overpowered character ever.
 * Metroid doesn't deserve another rep. Metroid is about Samus. Just Samus. Ergo, two Samuses are a perfect way to represent the series.
