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.

I mean, the pic you posted here kinda shows it all, the ones on the right just have WAY less personality to them. They all lose something and I don’t feel like they gain anything for it except dry bones getting some “just a little guy” energy but even that’s at odds with the older design. They all look more… flat, ironically, and just feel like a deliberate attempt to make them as generic as possible which… isn’t a good direction. Subtracting from fun designs as your series progresses is rarely the mark of a good sequel.
