@Trash4Fun @Edrp20 @squidmamaart Just to play devil's advocate: It's possible that Samus Aran might weigh more than you'd expect a woman of her height to because she's been extensively biologically altered. Maybe the infusion of Chozo DNA increased her muscle and bone density?
@VirtualAxiom Credit to @BarrelTitor8 who mentioned Melmo Watari from "Marvelous Melmo", meaning the trope dates back to at least 1970. He also reminded me of the age switch episode of "Sailor Moon" where an adult Chibi Usa is wearing her elementary school uniform. 😅

This stuff isn't new and there are far "worse" examples of this, like Maya Natsume from "Tenjou Tenge", who has a habit of shrinking down to the size of an 8-year-old and wearing an age-appropriate kimono that becomes ridiculously sexy/revealing when she reverts to her real age. https://t.co/hqreQgRPMw
