Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[Xiahou Ba]

Even goofy, lighthearted cartoons can be serious sometimes. For example Spongebob is normally a goofy, weird show, but the movie actually had a good plot to it (serious and deep moments too) and people loved it.

I don't think that was 'madness's point

I'm pretty sure he likes Thousand-Year Door and Galaxy, both which have those serious moments (like the ending for Galaxy for example). Though the ending for Galaxy was a bit too cheesy for me to take seriously.

Lighthearted, with an emphasis on humour and whimsy, thats how I like my Mario. I feel the M&L series fits this perfectly.

Rosalina is a character that I always felt to be rather out of place in a series like Mario.

Why, because she has a decent backstory?

I'd say her backstory, although a bit sad, is still in the end "cliche", but at least it isn't a son's father dying.

Lighthearted is good and all but honestly some serious stuff from time to time ain't too bad as the mario series is generally not very serious to begin with.

So stuff like rosalina's backstory isnt much of a big deal since its one of the very few serious moments in the entire franchise.

I thought the rosalina storybook thing was dumb.

It just felt hollow to me, like it didn't matter what happened to her in the past because it would never be relevant outside of the book cutscenes in a single game. I'd take it back if they did something substantial with it but I really doubt they will.

Also I really liked having Luma playable instead of Rosalina in Tennis Open just because I always wanted to play as a Luma in a spin-off.

I thought it was neat, i mean we dont really get a lot of back stories, i mean sure there are better ways to go about it and other franchises do about it, but it was nice to see the mario series actually try to roll with some darker back story as that.

Which is what makes Rosalina stick out like a sore thumb.

It's entirely optional so you can just ignore it if it really bothers you that much.

I am talking about Rosalina in general. Something thats becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

Not sure how it sticks out as a sore thumb as gp said its entirely optional, it wasnt even mandatory.

So techincally it was your fault all along.

oh no another princess cant ignore that

 

[Mcmadness]

You guys just don't get it. I'm talking about ALL of her. How she talks, how she caries herself, her personality, her backstory, ALL OF IT. Every single facet of her being is completely out of place in this silly cartoonish world full of whacky characters and its hard to avoid her because Nintendo keeps shoving her into various games.
