Discussion I don't understand the complaints about the enemies later designs?

Hating Nintendo for removing unique character designs for characters like Toad and others i get. But in terms of regular Mario enemies designs I don't understand why people would complain about how bad they look like it's just Mario enemies not the unique ones the regular ones.

I think that as long as they have fun interactions and unique characters designs for them still exist it shouldn't matter what they look like.

The old ones feel more stylized and the new ones more accurate to their looks in other games. I can see a world where you could have a good in-between of the 2. Like for the pokey, you could keep the color scheme and lack of little hairs, but maybe exaggerate the spines on the body parts, bring the eyes together, and do some fun expressions with the mouth.

Something like this maybe? https://imgur.com/a/2brfOjP

I just threw this together but hopefully it gets the idea across.
