I mean, that's affectively what they do with him with fighting him 3 times and then as the final boss at the end. I wish they did more traps and interruptions, but as is I'm content with it. For all extents and purposes the drones are Sylux

I do think Sylux is a bit different in that he has no other goals. Most Metroid villains want to take out Samus because she interrupts their goals. All Sylux has is petty revenge making him focused on stopping Samus and nothing else.

I kinda get it, his mad grabs for power and constant obsession with Samus would become a problem eventually. He's a loser, but he's still powerful and smart enough. He's a rival just by sheer persistence and the awful things he'll do to get there (which he should have done more of)

I said that wrong so you're right on that, but his goal confirmed in game is getting as much power as possible. It makes sense that some sense of scale in presentation would come with that.

I mean it still needs to be a good final boss fight, and that's his thing he's always presenting as grand and intimidating since that's his goal, to look and be powerful, it's just that it's still not enough.

he was also planned to be the big bad of a future game too so that was the thing too actually lol. I think the idea was just that he was supposed to be kinda pathetic in origin and just a petty loser who steals power whenever he can

that's how he got his suit and ship and his goal in Hunters

He's a pathetic loser villain so I love him lol

He'll do and steal everything he can to become something, but in the end he's still just a pathetic man who wants revenge on the one that ruined made it so obvious how his attempts for power and glory were a pathetic failure.

Honestly that's why I like him. He wants to be a reflection of Samus all his tech is like bootlegged stolen versions of Samus', even his backstory is hating Samus for being more than him.
He's pathetic and steals power wherever he can to Rival Samus and be some cool intimidating guy, but he's not.

Real he's such a dumb loser (his boss fights vs Samus solo rock though I'll die on that hill)

Top tier Sylux fan here, Sylux is the biggest loser ever. His loseryness is his defining trait. It fuels his every motivation and all of his design elements, abilities, personality, and backstory. He's such a pathetic loser who wants to be more and steals power wherever he can.

His backstory was actually written before Hunters came out, they just said they hadn't gotten around to being able to show it lol

Probably why they struggled on finding where to put it,

it's incredibly cool lol

Thank you!! X3
