There is some people who we simply don't like, here we give reasons why we don't want them coming close to Mario

Ken Penders: Ego certric creepy hack that writes melodrama and thinks he's a genius, he didn't do well with Sonic, something as lighthearted as Mario with him would be a disaster

Adam Sandler: He's already somewhat involed with the cameos in Pixels, but that's as far as he should go, only Hotel Transylvania is something recent he's been that's been any good, and we're probably not dealing with Gendy, keep him away from the Mario movie
 
That directing duo that decided they wanted to turn Mario into bladerunner.
 
Kensuke Tanabe, at least for Paper Mario. He did great with Luigi's Mansion 3, but his track record with Paper Mario has been bleh and I think that series could do with better direction.

If he sticks around, I can only hope he opens his eyes to the pleas of the fanbase and allows the aspects most of us desperately want back to return. But if he continues with the stubborn insistence on not having any new interesting characters past the mouthpiece of the month, I'd rather have someone else like Ryota Kawade coming back.
 
The so-called """triple A""" industry (EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Rockstar, Epic/Tencent, Gearbox games, Bethesda) can pry Mario out of Gloomtail's cold dead hands. Not only they make games with tons of microtransactions (or put microtransactions in future updates after the reviews come out or put microtransactions in old remasters), lootboxes for "just" cosmetics, day one patches, always-online DRM, thousands of special editions, "roadmaps", and tedious and grindy "live services" for the sake of player engagement, they also subject the employees to the dreadful crunch time or removing their jobs just to cut costs while CEOs get excruciating bonuses and evade paying taxes. Nintendo avoids a ton of the problems associated with the so-called tinkle arghs industry.
 
Whoever directed Sonic 06. Even though he did direct Samba de Amigo and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg.
