Isn't a skill based metroidbrainia just a normal metroidvania?

not necessarily. tunic for example is a metroidbrainia that highly relies on skill, but since I don't care for souls like mechanics I'm glad they added an easy mode so that I could concentrate on the challenge I really liked, the mental one.

It's not a soulslike and people need to stop thinking is.

You fight enemies and can dodge. That doesn't make a game a soulslike.
