Bowser Jr is probably the one major downgrade of Bowser’s Koopalings

When it comes to FreezeFlame’s first Koopa Kids series, it did have a lot of issues and I do think the reboot fixed a lot of them, especially with the personalities and dynamics between the main seven characters… but I will be honest, Bowser Jr was the one thing this series did worse.

I don’t fully remember much of Koopa Kids but I do remember Junior being somewhat similar to his Bowser’s Koopalings counterpart what with him being a spoiled brat and Daddy’s favorite. The main difference between Koopa Kids and Bowser’s Koopalings though is that Bowser Jr’s cruelty wasn’t too over the top in the former and he does show glimpses of humanity.

In Bowser’s Koopalings however, his cruelty towards others is much more extreme and it makes us all question why Bowser loves this little demon spawn so much. I get Bowser is meant to be a flawed father figure with his heart in the right place but his favoritism and obliviousness towards Bowser Jr kinda drags down his character(even if I like Bowser in this series).

Now don’t take this as me hating Bowser Jr since I do find him funny but he didn’t really need to be such a major antagonist in this series since we already have Fawful and the Shadows.
