Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I love Luigi has his own frsnchise:

Mario is Missing (Proto-Luigi's Mansion)
Luigi's Mansion
Luigi's Mansion 2
Luigi's Mansion 3

I hope he keeps getting his own games.

I also hope Wario Land returns, and that there is more Yoshi games.
 
Looking at the comic book pitches, I am more interested in the direction of what Fleetway would do with Mario, and generally disinterested in what Archie Comics would do to Mario. Certainly, Archie Comics was having some troubles around that time, but that's not related to why I consider a much older comic pitch the more interesting one. The reason is simply that Fleetway's pitch includes different characters for the Mario series. Seeing Donkey Kong (or is it Jr.?) is more reassuring that they would do some wild creative scenarios with the series AND include unexpected characters, which happens to be what makes Valiant's Mario comics fun.

Archie Comics' pitch may have a similar standard look of the games, but the bog standard scenario makes it the less interesting pitch.

Thank you for reading.
 
I have a hatred for Bowser Jr.
Diddy Kong should have been in MK8 instead of Baby Rosalina (the living embodiment of a filler character.)
Luigi's great. He's amazing, but he's a tad overrated.

not sure how unpopular these are, but I'll let you fellas decide.

I'd say this is not all that unpopular of an opinion. I was kind of surprised when I came here and saw how many people want to punt him.
I'm all for Bowser Jr. rights, personally. He's a really cool character, and a great kid character at that. Media sees fit to smooth kids out, but in reality him being a brat makes so much sense.

Think this one's not that unpopular either. Sometimes I feel like one of the only ones who doesn't mind Baby Rosalina's inclusion, lol.

Again, not unpopular, but also something I disagree with. Luigi is rated pretty fairly for the character he is. Some Luigi fans have some bad takes, but his popularity itself feels like it's well-earned.
 
The Mario anime movie is not very good. Like it's better than the live action one but only just in that it's not terrible and more just meh and kinda boring.
