Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I treat her like that girl Nintendo keeps shoving everywhere.

Not that I care, I'm pretty indifferent to her overall.

A real space goddess wouldn't need external help with her engine troubles.

Altho srsface here, I quite liked Rosalina in SMG1 and having Lubba instead of Rosalina was one of the biggest rip-offs about SMG2 (as well as the half-baked plot, even by Mario standards, the boring as hell hub, and the vanilla world/level progression). On the other hand, I actually wish they weren't using her in all the spinoffs: she was so cool and mystical, but now she's just another princess.

This is why I don't support Rosalina's playable appearance in Mario Party, 3D World, or Smash Bros. because the roles simply don't suit her, and maybe you don't share the opinion, but I think those roles degenerate her personality.

Meh, I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 in itself is a big rip-off. The plot, the character, the level progression, the level design, the gameplay, the name; the only thing that isn't a rip-off is the miniscule powerups, the negligible co-star mode, and that Mario isn't flying around in space that much.

Anyway, I don't like it when people refer to Peach, Daisy, or Rosalina as "girls". Or any sort of fully-grown woman, fictional or not. I do think, though, it's a counterpart to "guy", but the term just sounds so demeaning/patronizing for women. But maybe it's my feminist me speaking again.

I didn't think she was a princess when she was just in Galaxy since her name was just "Rosalina" honestly

But yeah I think she shouldn't be in all the spinoffs – besides doesn't she have an observatory to be on?

Let's be honest now: she's a flipping princess. All but in name.

Just to be fair, in all honesty, though, thanks to Nintendo, even Mario thinks all women are princesses.
 
I think it's understandable, but it's on the same league of annoying as people mistaking Rosalina for Elsa, Link for Zelda, or Samus for Metroid.
 
If Rosalina ever gets kidnapped, there is gonna be riots.

I will be one of them
 
I'll just be watching from the sidelines, dodging the occasional burning chair.
 
Unless she frees herself and the game is her wiping out the enemies' armies from the lands in retribution.

I'm the opposite: I always call myself a "girl" despite being 23, and even my 54-year-old mom still says she's "hanging out with the girls" when she goes to brunch (and I "hang out with the boys" when I'm with my dude friends, although I usually call them "guys" like how I call my friends "girls"). I would only really consider it negative if it was being used in a way that was meant to be demeaning or patronizing - but then again, "woman" or even "lady" can also be said derisively (or "boy" or "man", for that matter). In general, I just feel that context matters more than a given word - aside from slurs, of course, where the word being used at all is all the context you need.

Unlikely. Almost nobody seems to be able to free themselves from being kidnapped in Mario. Including the man himself.
