I honestly was not expecting them to branch out into other IP beyond DK. With this introduction it does feel like they are heading towards a Smash Brothers movie. That aside, I would love a Star Fox franchise to exist again. Looking forward to the new rumored game.

Let's just face facts. It's basically the same strategy as Space Jam 2.

Instead of any - y'know - varied entertainment value, what you'll get is an assembly line of "'member this character?"

Probably followed by one big group shot, end on credits and sale of merch at the exits.

Form a line for ancillary evil but cute villain side kick character #32. 130$ - made in Bangladesh by children 2$ a pop.

Now that I've pissed all over what little joy and pleasure you gain from this rechid world, it's time to attend a funeral to remind everyone how awful their loved ones were when they were still alive.

Captain Buzzkill, away~! Swoosh!
