Spoilers for Monster Hunter Wilds and Donkey Kong Bananza i guess.
I feel like there are people who don't quite understand the significance of beloved characters like Lagicarus and King K Rool returning after a decade or more of being M.I.A.
Nostalgia bait, Simply to keep a trademark, etc. Doesn't matter when it shows, even if only slightly enough to see the money signs, that the devs are listening.
I never understood the love for Lagi until I got to fight him myself in Wilds, and it wasn't until the under water segment that, as a wise man once said, I finally got it. I love his fight and he has become a "comfort monster" (Monster I hunt because it feels like a dance)
I was the same with K Rool. Fun to play in smash bros but not much else. Then Bananza happens and same thing. Hail to the King of the Kremlin Krew.
All that to say, don't give up hope for something you love because so long as you love it, it always has a chance to get that second chance. It may not stick the landing but it shows it can.
