    Overview

    The "thumbs down" is a hand gesture widely used and viewed as a sign of disapproval, failure, or condemnation.  In some games, icons depicting a thumbs down may be used as a visual guide indicating that a challenge or goal has not been met.  Other times, it may be used by a character within the context of the story.
     
    Notably, in the Galactic Federation of the Metroid universe, soldiers in the GF Army commonly use the thumbs up as a sign of approval following mission briefings.  Samus Aran, on the other hand, met such orders with a rebellious attitude and typically signaled a thumbs down.
