I think I'm too Wario x3-pilled but as I get older a lot of the stuff about Smash (especially "modern" Smash) actually really does rub me the wrong way. Almost everything he says I agree with: The people-pleasing marketing and rosters, the fact that it acts more important than it probably is (you know the "epic orchestra" and crap introduced in Brawl), the wacky balance of many of the newcomers (but ESPECIALLY third parties), you name it. Hell a lot of these grievances could apply to a lot of "crossover culture" in general, especially in the realm of "let's make characters fight each other."

...God, if I head a sequel thread to PBS Brawltime, I'm going to get way too hung up over trying to avoid modern Smash's pitfalls aren't I?

I think the point about the series trying way too hard to be "serious" is what resonates with me most though... I don't inherently mind a simple "mashing action figures together" premise but I'd rather have music and an art style that embraces that inherent goofiness, and the original on 64 really was the best at that.

Hell, if you want to keep Mario gruff and serious looking, how's about taking on a sillier rock n' roll/pro wrestling aesthetic? Something I thought of lately, which could be interesting. Not sure how well that'd work in practice, but just wanted to throw that out there.
