Man in a hole and man in a tub are plot devices used for short stories. Man in a hole places the main character in some sort of sticky situation he must get out of. Man in a tub uses an ordinary, yet random, event to teach the main character a lesson.

Man in a hole. This is the oldest and most popular kind of a plot. The incident begins with a man or group of men getting trapped in some kind of a hole (situation or trouble), goes on to show how they try to climb out or escape from the problem, and ends with either escaping or sliding back to the bottom for good.

Usually in all stories, this kind of a plot creates a vivid description of the conflict of the characters encountered. This also gives thrill to the readers in making them read more about the storylines. boylie (iligan, phils)

Why was Samus suddenly afraid of Ridley in Other M if she already beat him dozens of times?

This is likely a plot hole by the developers. They wanted to give Samus a personality, and make her more attractive to Japanese males (shy, weak, fragile, needs a man to rescue) So they butchered her character. Not to worry though. I hear in the next game, they are going to try and make amends for this abomination. Again, it was a Plot Hole
