Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

If it ends, at least end it on a good note. At this point I'd accept a series finale for Paper Mario that finally returns to the style of Thousand Year Door and has Dream Team's level of fanservice to the past games. If it ends after CS or another uninspired disappointment, as someone who adores PM for the first 3 games I'd be saddened.
 
I got a better idea. How about we forget the cheap fanservice and they just make some good ass games?
 
I don't see how Color Splash can still be called a disappointment when people were hating on it from the very beginning, and it still managed to crank out a pretty good game with some funny writing and some semblance of a darker story (in comparison to Sticker Star). The only thing it fails in is the lack of diversity in characters, but we already knew that from the trailers, so I don't see how that would be a disappointment. Was anybody's hopes for the next Paper Mario really that high after Sticker Star of all games?

"Better than expected" isn't necessarily "good" or "acceptable" or even "eh".

Implying thats automatically a good thing.

I mean color splash was a far better game but I wouldn't say thats something of note for why.

I think people thought that they expected the developers to learn their mistakes after Sticker Star, their experiment, and they were disappointed that it got virtually a sequel rather than a successor to Thousand-Year Door.

Well no, but wouldn't calling it a disappointment mean that it performed worse than expected?

I know that and you know that, but I just noted that because many were clamoring for it and it delivered without going over the top.
