At the very least, no matter your opinion, these designs got rid of nocontext smg4, which surely everyone can rejoice about. btw that creepy boopkins drawing at the end was made by writer

Hey all, no null here. So this is likely one of the biggest SMG4 controversies so far. SMG4 has permanently redesigned SMG4 and 3, as well as Bob and Boopkins which i had not expected at all, but in hindsight their redesigns makes sense too as if they were going to redesign SMG4 and 3 due to their models being recolours of a nintendo character, then why not also redesign two characters who literally just use the models of nintendo characters with no alterations. However i do agree with cibles that bob and boopkins, as well as smg3, should have played a bigger role in this arc to better justify the redesigns within the story a bit, though i'm honestly fine with how it was done, I thought it was quite funny why miyamoto wanted to redesign them. I can definitely understand why some people are upset over the redesigns, all of these characters have had these incredibly iconic designs for years, and bob pretty much completely overshadows garos at this point, with more people recognising this model as bob rather than a garo i imagine lol. And while disliking the designs is completely fine, it is a subjective thing after all, I would like to just say that some people have had some… interesting takes. I do think this will sort of be a new era for the SMG4 channel in a small way, but anyone declaring this is the death of the smg4 channel or that he did this to spite people who liked the mario recolours I just cannot take seriously. Though i would agree that since Revelations, although there have been many episodes i actually really like, I think there have been more weaker episodes than usual, and the lawsuit arc was much weaker story wise than genesis or revelations. So I'm hoping the overall quality of the SMG4 series picks up from now.

Also, please keep in mind that by giving these characters original models, it gives smg4 a lot more freedom with how they use these characters. And even though SMG4 likely would win in a real life case against nintendo in an australian court due to australia’s amazing fair use laws, i imagine having to deal with the whole legal proceedings would be really costly and damaging to Glitch, so they have a very legitimate reason to want to make redesigns so that if they have to remove all nintendo stuff, they have their own models right there to immediately pick up where they left off, and without the change being too jarring as people would already be used to the new models. This is just to address anyone asking why they would be afraid of nintendo even though they should be safe against them. Though as Nintendo is unlikely to threaten them anytime soon, did they really have to rush the lawsuit arc bruh.

Ok so onto why you’re watching this video. What do I think about the new models? Well, i’ve still not solidly took a stance yet on most of them, mainly as we haven't seen them in videos for long enough and i'm waiting for the models to be released publicly to use them myself. However, at the moment i think i like all of them - yes, even that cocomelon looking ass model. Bob has the best model, which I think most people agree with, and this is likely due to him still being very similar to his original design. If you glanced only once at the old banner and then the new banner you probably couldn’t tell the difference between the designs. I really like how they made that design down the centre of his robe into a bandana, he looks really cool. I also think making his cloak look more rugged and less fancy makes a lot of sense, as he is a street rapper who lives at a garbage dump lol. I’m just hoping that they kept bob’s face where it goes small like this. SMG4 and 3 have more mixed reactions in the community, with some people preferring smg3 for whatever reason, but personally i like their designs. I especially love how smg3 has a beard like his voice actor james, since as james is so connected with the character it made sense to model smg3 after him like with luke and smg4. Also this is a minor thing but i like how smg3 also has a darker shade of blue for his overalls. Personally I like the variation between mario and smg4, even though the original two mario duo is really iconic, representing the earlier and simpler times of smg4, though i think that is still represented on the channel by the use of sm64, which thankfully the new smg4 model keeps, and i assume we’ll eventually see an smg3 sm64 model too as well.

Ok, so onto this little bitch. The reason why so many people hate this design, and why i was put off with it at first, is likely because his proportions have changed the most dramatically. He has much bigger hands and he looks like a bean.
