Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I'm expressing mine.
I never liked Rosalina from day one, a sentiment that Miyamoto somewhat expressed later (albeit it could be distaste for her story than the character design). She was always explosively popular otherwise, but never to mascot levels since her appearances are still rather seldom. Still, her popularity definitively eclipses Daisy, who I really believe deserves such love.
I'm really concerned that if the new movie is a hit, commercially and critically, Rosalina is going to be a franchise mascot that will gain Wolverine Publicity, and something we can assuredly expect to see much more of than now. A Disney Princess basically, which is an apt saying for her role in the movie.
I have to say I am not advocating for the movie to fail to prevent this: just expressing concerns over its success and inevitable results once the billions pour in.

She’s not an icon already?
And your point is you don’t want a beloved character you don’t like to be more beloved?
You didn’t have to write this.
cool post bro
Rosalina appears as a playable character in [*Mario Golf: World Tour*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Golf:_World_Tour), available via [downloadable content](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downloadable_content).[^([16])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalina_(Mario)#cite_note-16) Rosalina is a playable fighter in [*Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS_and_Wii_U) and [*Super Smash Bros.

Rosalina appears in [*Super Mario Maker*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Maker) as a Mystery Mushroom costume, which can be unlocked either through the 100-Mario challenge, or by scanning her [amiibo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiibo) figure.

She already is and icon. Not sure where your hate comes from over some pixels, but each to their own.
sounds like a you problem.
Wym Rosalina is already an iconic character?
She’s already an icon
Who doesn’t like the space princess god entity of the Mario universe!?

……..
It’s too late to put the genie back in that bottle, pal.
Threads like these just affirm my belief that people are really not doing ok right now.
Y’know, not EVERY thought that comes to your mind needs to be posted on the internet. Sometimes, it’s okay to keep it to yourself.
Are you the guy who bought up all the Rosalina amiibo just to prevent other people from buying them
wtf is this post
GGs. No re. Ratio.
Is this a Brie Larson thing, or is this a daisy fetish thing? I really can’t decide.
“Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I’m expressing mine.”
Yeah, you could also have just kept it in your head.
This is a strange thing to be worried about. She is already a character that appears in just about every new spin off title, and is even a Smash character… let this one go buddy.
Non-problem.
Next.
I wish this was the sort of thing I worried about
Back in college, we would play Mario Kart Wii a lot and my friend Marty insisted Rosalina was a “fake character” cause he’d never played a game with her in it.
Marty, is that you?

Good. I welcome our new Queen.
found odyssey central alt account!
Its always something with this sub
Reddit is not Tumblr. Or Livejournal. Yet people love to post weird vent threads that aren’t appropriate for the subreddit.
Wow!!! whats wrong with you. Yes you’re entitled to your opinion but this is very ridiculous. & didn’t need to be said out loud
>I never liked Rosalina from day one
How come? You said you wanted to express your opinion, but you didn’t elaborate. It may be that your distaste is unmerited. We have no way of knowing.
>I’m really concerned
What about the character bothers you so much that it rises to the level of concern? You didn’t elaborate at all.
My opinion is it’s really silly for you to care this much about how other people view cartoon princesses.
Nintendo characters are all pretty much devoid of personality anyway by design, so going out of your way to single out *hating* one almost says more about you than it does about them.
Okay since everyone is talking down to you and not actually engaging in the conversation, i’m going to throw in my two cents
It’s okay to have fan favourites and it’s fine to be annoyed or sad that your favourite character isn’t having the spotlight that you think they deserve.
But I think there’s a certain charm to rooting for a character that is niche or doesn’t have that spotlight, It’s like your own little club that you are part of and it’s fun to keep rooting for them and celebrating when they do have those bigger appearances.
That being said, daisy is still quite popular. She is one of only four princesses in the main Mario universe and I’m sure she’ll get a spotlight in future movies and future titles.
She will not become wolverine levels of famous.
This is a strange post to make thats basically just “I dont think this character should be famous because I dont want them to and it upsets me that they get a spotlight”
Of all the dumb shit to be concerned about.
who hurt you?
This is kinda embarrassing ngl
Rosalina is already incredibly popular.
What. No way. 😭
>Still, her popularity definitively eclipses Daisy, who I really believe deserves such love.
Nice try, memoryman3!
I like Rosalina, but she ain’t no wolverine.
Mariotehplumber? That you?
It literally costs nothing to keep your opinion to yourself.
>I never liked Rosalina from day one, a sentiment that Miyamoto somewhat expressed later (albeit it could be distaste for her story than the character design
I’m 99% sure that he never said this.
Imagine wasting time in your life to sit down and write this.
Of all characters Rosalina? Bizarre.
Are you the guy who bought all those Rosalina amiibo so no one could have them?
