DK Rant: while I’m happy with the game itself, the one rant I have with the game is Pauline herself being a kid in this.
When the game was first announced when she was leaked, I was hoping she was be either Pauline’s Daughter or Niece since it would’ve a lot more intriguing but alas, I was wrong and it’s Pauline but younger.
I don’t hate it per say but it just confuses me, especially since Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong are still at their exact same ages, so it makes me ask why they don’t at least look a lot more younger to match Pauline’s Age?
There’s also the fact that with Pauline in this as kid, when does Bananza actually take place, is it before the events of DKC Trilogy and Wrinkly Kong’s Passing, we probably might know all about this and this might make sense when the game launches but it could anyone’s guess.
I also add that it’s ok for people to care about the DK and Mario Lore, even if you don’t care about it yourself, just let others care about it bc they love and care about this franchise just as much as anyone else who cares about a series they love. This is also coming from a Sonic fan who’s been-
Down this road before with the many past retcons with many of them thankfully gone but still make no sense like the “two worlds” canon or “classic sonic being from another dimension even tho modern Sonic recognizes him form generations”. The point is, I hope all of this will make sense later on.
Thanks for reading my Ted talk.
