No, I'm a "Resurrect a character and doom them to a life of sports, kart, and party games with a two-dimensional personality" hater.
Honestly, I believe what's happening is you're disappointed with the current state of characters, so you look at characters such as Wart, Stanley, the Koopalings, and Geno through rose-tinted glasses, thinking that if they made a come back, all would be well, and Shadow Brian would start liking Nintendo games again.
