Fandom Berserk Buttons for the Wario series?

[CM30]

For those who don't use TV Tropes much, a fandom beserk button is something that people get wrong/confused about a franchise that annoys the hell out of the fandom for whatever reason, like assuming Link is called Zelda in the Legend of Zelda series or calling Red from the Pokemon series 'Ash' after the anime adaptation.

Kind of like this:

So what kind of stuff/misconceptions about the Wario series do you think would annoy fans in general? I guess to some degree the whole Waluigi vs Captain Syrup thing would count, but any others?

 

[Sir Sal Sagrod]

Maybe people thinking that the only thing Wario ever does is fart and be gross all the time, or people who think Wario was solely created for fart jokes and Mario spinoffs.

sorry

 

[CM30]

sorry

Heh, don't take it too seriously.

 

[Glowsquid]

i notice people who haven't played a lot of warioware tend to call mona "mona pizza"

this very useful and biting observation has granted me much acclaim among sophisticated socialites.

 

[Just a Wario Fan]

Sometimes on DeviantArt when someone draws a picture with characters from different franchises, people ask things like ¨who´s Mona¨ or ¨who is that guy with the blue wig¨ which kinda annoys me.

People acting as if Ware was to blame for Wario's Smash portrayel is a huge one for me, scratch that, everything about Smash Wario is a easy way to push my buttons.

When people call Wario 'Fat Mario' or 'Evil Mario'

lol, is that actually a thing? When I was a kid I used to think that Wario was like a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde type transformation of Mario for some reason :b

 

[ThAshleyChannel]

I heard 'Fat Mario' from a Sony PS user once and Evil Mario was from a YouTube comment 4 years ago. It sort of got me like "Wait, his name is Wario you ****, learn at least before posting", I would get angry a lot back then, but now I'm as clam as Luigi.

Until you mock a certain character, then I'll be mad.

Close enough?

Two things:

1) When people assume his portrayal in Smash is an accurate representation. I know it's not necessarily the fault of the player if they haven't played a Wario game, but it's disheartening to see that Wario is perceived to be nothing more than a gross-out character.

2) When people assume Wario Land is nothing more than a knockoff of the Mario series. I think that argument can be made for the first and Virtual Boy entries (though I consider them more a parody than a knockoff), but we all know that with Land 2 our guy really came into his own. It's offensive when this is not acknowledged, especially as I can't think of many games to this day quite like Wario's.

I don't know if this translation is accurate, but the next panel:

Well, no ambiguity in his characterization with this adaptation.

○ Claiming that Wario is a gross character (because of his presentation on Smash);
○ Calling Wario as "Yellow/Evil Mario";
○ Claiming that Wario's first appeareance was in WarioWare;
○ "Wario Ware > Wario Land" or "Wario Land > Wario Ware";
○ Saying that the Wario Land series are just a knockoff of the Mario series;
○ Ashley > all characters;

... And so more.

Claiming that Wario is a gross character (because of his presentation on Smash)

Yeah, what's with this? Wario has always been a paragon of social graces.

 

[warelander]

Yeah, what's with this? Wario has always been a paragon of social graces.

The thing is there is a difference between a character who happens to have some gross traits, alongside other personality traits and a character who is primarily gross, Smash Wario is the latter and feels like a mockery, made by someone who hates Wario, the fact that Smash puts him being a FatFartFuck™ over strenght and greed (which ARE his actual most important character traits) should be all the indication you need for that and the fact that this atrocity is shaping some people's impressions of the character is sincerely depressing.

I was talking about how people view Wario after being the farty bouffon of the Smash series because of his moves and nowadays everyone don't even respect him for those reasons.
In Wario Land (especially on Wario Land 4 or Wario World instructions book), we see Wario has bad habits and he's loud but it's mininal, even rare on the gameplay that we even forget that part exist.

 

[King Hehehe]

Yeah, I was more making the point that he always has been a gross character. It's just that Smash fails to properly represent his more defining characteristics, instead allowing that to take the spotlight. It certainly is a shame that it's caused some people to see him that way.
