#but this is super true with sbr as well the dastardlies are SO miss in this series

[oopsalltes]

playing the second attack for the first time ever has made me realize how really...scarce? it is for the villainous/antagonistic force to ever really get examination among themselves in their own games.

if you think about it, most of the time whenever antagonists in the bomberman franchise get character development, its with shiro (or whoever the protagonist is in some games) and its almost entirely on an individual level. we never really get to see them in their natural environment with their other allies, or we only get glimpses into their relationships with them. the dastardlies, bomber shittenou, masked trio, heavenly kings, etc etc NEVER get any sort of expansion on how they interact among themselves without the force of good in the picture. this is an issue even in modern titles like the r series - we barely know shit about the r iteration of the dastardlies and the bosses in r2 have little to no relation with each other. its super infuriating in a way?? the dynamics between the astral knights + rukifellth are SO much fun, and its kind of fucked up my perspective of literally Every Single Game that ISNT tsa. like i wanna know what the dastardlies are like with each other SO BADLY. i swear the closest we've ever gotten to this is what little we got to see of the bomber shittenou in the anime, and even THAT could be pretty barebones at times...
