Even in the next M&L? Because after Dream Team I'm worried they killed him off for good. That would be a shame since he was the first recurring M&L character (who debuted in M&L that is)

So will they pull a Bowser and inexplicably return him in the next Mario & Luigi? I'd also like to see Midbus back, maybe as a rookie for Popple. Or even as his own villain. But yeah, my personal bias aside, Fawful was probably one of the most popular RPG characters to just be tossed in the trash like that. So who thinks he'll at least cameo in future games?
 
Well, RPGs do have their own canon of sorts. But what I find particularly strange are the frozen Shroobs: the Elder Princess Shroob clearly died in the past in Partners in Time yet she made an appearance in Bowser's Inside Story.
 
Yeah, if she can come back (frozen or not) then I think Fawful, or even Cackletta and Antasma can also come back. Perhaps one of them unfreezes the Shroobs in Bowser's castle? Then we have a really interesting story on our hands.
 
Needs 80% more Baby Luigi

That would be interesting. I doubt Fawful will return though, since he failed to make an appearance in Dream Team. Isn't he, like, supposedly the most recurring ML character in the series? Seems unfair to leave him out. They could have made him a dream thing in Dream Team but...
 
There's a lot they could have done with DT's dream world (like have a Fawful appearance, maybe even a Mr. L appearance, etc) but it's still a good game, much better than Sticker Star. Anyway I never thought too far into the Shroob thing but you're right, that completely debunks any "dead because explosion" theories. Which also means any villain, RPG or not, who exploded can indeed come back.

Even though the bosses like Goomboss, Whomp King, Big Bob-Omb, etc have no problem doing this...

You know since they are all kings it's entirely possible that your fighting the new king also one of them is literally a bomb so he doesn't count.
 
I'm all for Fawful returning in some way, shape, or form in the next Mario & Luigi installment, but realistically speaking, the most he'll probably get is a cameo and nothing more. Like I said before, I find it sickening how just about every villain in the series who isn't Bowser is considered expendable. Especially since every one of the RPG villains had him sorely outclassed by a longshot.
 
b-but m-m-muh musclehead goofball koopuhs

Bowser got a redemption of sorts with Dream Team IMO, about time they actually had him as a major threat/final boss for once in a good while (though the backstabbing of Antasma could've been better timed, maybe).
 
"For once"? Along with being the final boss in every Mario platformer that's been released in the last twenty years, Bowser was already the final boss in two other RPGs before Dream Team came along.

Yeah, I was speaking solely in terms of RPGs, and I realized I had to fix that like five seconds after I first posted it.
