I'm So Annoyed By Mario + Rabbids' New OC Character

thegamer.com:

Can we just be honest and admit the Rabbids are insufferable? I hate to sound like a bitter old man who doesn’t understand these new fangled cartoons, but I’ve never liked those little twerps. I loved every second I played of the original Mario + Rabbids, but even then I only found these bucktooth bastards barely tolerable. I feel a bit like Tommy Lee Jones talking to Jim Carrey on the set of Batman Returns: I hate them. I really don’t like them and I cannot sanction their buffoonery.

Putting the Rabbids together with the Mario cast really highlights how low on the mascot tier list they rank. It’s kind of like going to see The Beatles and them inviting Nickelback on stage to play Come Together with them. Would it be better if it was just The Beatles? Ya, obviously. But you’re not going to leave while The Beatles are on stage. The Rabbids are like a more obnoxious version of Nickelback.

Please hold it against him personally and not TheGamer]. The Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope livestream from earlier this week revealed the sequel will star a brand new character, neither friend of Mario nor Rabbid imposter. She’s a goth girl-Rabbid named Edge and I sure do wish she wasn’t.

Everyone who played Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle finished World 2, unlocked Princess Peach, and immediately tried to swap to a full Mario team, only to discover the game forces you to keep at least one Rabbid on your team at all times. Ubisoft knew we’d dump the dorks the first chance we got
