SHHH let him bring it up again im not done being angery
seriously tho, maaan! really glad you liked the video and found it informative ♥
Can't add much that I haven't said already, just gonna insist that Syrup has shown up three times and not once has she been an actual villian to Wario to warrant comparing her to the Bowser of WL. No provocation in WL, relaliates in WL2, helps and backstabs you in WL:SI!. Her role is pretty fluid with the most consistent thing being they screw eachother a lot for the sake of personal gain. Yet if you wanna say she wouldn't make a good partner to Wario because that wouldn't fit the simplistic formula Nintendo likes to push with all of the games they're doing now, then you have no right to ask for Waluigi's "potential" to be used for more than the filler partner he's meant to be.
people in general taking yoshi and birdo for granted is just proof that there's no thought put into making these partnerships and people accept them anyways, so might as well have been Syrup for the sake of keepin a WL theme with both characters, or adding another villian, or both getting away with being selfish and greedy; any stock reason you like, and let the headcanons about their relationship run wild. The integrity of the roles and relationships in Mario doesn't matter as much as the characters themselves, anyways.
idk man, it doesn't really matter now. Pauline is barely mentioned for the Mario vs DK games, Daisy's kingdom is just adressed in manuals to remind us she's a princess, maybe Syrup addition couldn't have made any change and she would be that wapeach by now, but man.. it does make one wonder what if WL was the focus of Wario instead of being that one half of a team of wacky evil twins.
