People were just pissed that she played a "subordinate." Simple fact is, this game is a prequel to all the others, and she wasn't going to be in the independent badass that she becomes without something happening. This game gave a pretty good start to how she became what she was. I had no problems with how it was handled, and it honestly made sense to me. Sure it wasn't the Samus I knew from the other games, but I understand how it leads her to become such a woman.
