    My thoughts on Donkey Kong is that he straddles a weird line between "epic" and "goofy" that is REALLY hard to get right. The Country games present some of the most astonishingly beautiful environments and atmospheric music the SNES was capable of, and Returns followed in its footsteps, yet both were chock full of slapstick comedy. Even 64, which emphasized the cartoon goofiness, still boasted the sheer size of its worlds, unparalleled by any games of its time (according to many, to its detriment).
    Undercutting all of this is the "wild beast" personality that occasionally surges back. He's frequently depicted with supersimian strength, smashing K Rool through the roof of his flying fortress with a single blow or smashing the moon out of orbit. The Jungle Beat series is even ambiguous on his "heroism" and presents him more as a territorial wild animal defending his territory against rival apes. Once this side of his personality is established, his territorial, animal nature becomes apparent in other games; he is rarely motivated to do anything until someone invades HIS island.
    At the heart of the Country series is an environmentalist tone. His main foes are the industrialist Kremlings, whose factories are contrasted against the pristine beauty of the natural environment that is depicted with all of the fidelity the game system is capable of showing. The PLAYER is made to feel what is at stake in the clash between Industry and the Wild.
    Yet DK doesn't really seem to care about any of that. He's equally willing to throw down with any other challengers to his position as the king of the jungle, whether they are actually "evil" or not. The Country games tell a story of beautiful Nature vs ugly Industry, but the Kong himself, as a true representative of Nature, is simply a beast defending his territory and family - a beast who happens to have the power necessary to fight the power of Industry, but a beast nonetheless.
    This rant went on a bit longer than I planned.
    Anyway, my point is that the reason DK's tone is so hard to pin down is because his games and his character are two completely different things. The games present a grand narrative of Nature vs Technology, but take the Kong out of this narrative, throw him into Mario spin-offs, and you're basically left with...gorilla. Because that's what he is. An ape who just wants to enjoy life and is willing to smash anything that gets in the way of him doing that.

    • @sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149
      @sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      Honestly, yeah!
      There's an old story about how when Retro made DKC Returns, they had all of the gorilla-like moves you'd expect. Great strength and agility and whatnot. And Miamoto took a look at it and told them to give DK a functionality where he just blew air on stuff, something goofy. Because DK was lacking some of that whimsy that's key to his character.
      It's part of that fine character line between goofy and epic, I think.

      God, someone finally put it into words. The Donkey Kong series is so much more nuanced than people expect, but it's so hard to articulate why. Thank you, I'm gonna use this to explain DKC to people now.

    • @Aaaa-g6u8e
      @Aaaa-g6u8e ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I guess to be fair for Jungle Beat's wild animalistic of DK the game's manual actually explains about a celestial moon god informing DK about some incoming danger and he must overcome neighboring islands to defeat the evil Cactus King to free them.
      The whole concept of Nature vs Industrialist doesn't truly holds up because Donkey Kong and his friends have no quims or issues with embracing tech and the construction factories. Cranky Kong and Funky Kong both are the biggest examples; Cranky using science in DK64 and Funky is the overall inventor, mechanic, weapons specialist, etc. The cartoons may or may not be consistent with the games, but they have a barrel manufacturing workplace.

      Ironically metroid might actually be part of the reson of the lack of new dk games as back when dkc tropical freeze first came out the metroid cominity got really mad they were working on this instead of metroid prime 4(ignoring the fact dkc returns outsold every metroid prime game combined and this was the wiiu era were nintendo dint want to take risks due to it underselling) and now retro is so busy with prime 4 esspecly when they had to bassicly restart development at 9ne point that focusing on other games wasnt really a option. And like i love meteoid series and prime is fun but man the metroid cominity overreacted esspecly when tropical freeze is one of my favorite 2d platformers of all time just behind Celeste

    Rare's DK was the best DK. Not only did they redefine him as a cool, laidback, fun-loving defender of DK Island, but they also gave him a world, a cast of characters, atmosphere, and, well... everything. Nintendo actively spitting on Rare's legacy never made sense to me... but, then again, if Phil Tossell is to be believed, then Nintendo grew jealous of Rare, which was likely a motivating factor in them refusing the Stamper Bros.' offer and giving Rare the boot. If Paper Mario has taught us anything, Nintendo can be REALLY petty.

    5:40 Actually, Cranky always calls Donkey Kong his grandson as early as the first Donkey Kong Country. He's only Cranky's song in the movie... which ultimately doesn't matter because they ignore the entire history Mario had with him anyway except they referenced Wrecking Crew meaning Mario's previous job history in construction was still intact, but that's its own thing.
    So this means Donkey Kong Jr. had a son, which would be the modern DK and... we have no idea what happened to Jr if he died or is somewhere else in the world or what it's never explained.

    • @Benja04
      @Benja04 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well actually, Cranky calls Dk his son in "Donkey Kong 64" and the Mario Movie in the Dk section of the film lifts a lot from 'DK64' so they also took the fact that Dk was Cranky's son from that game for the Movie!
      Also Donkey Kong Jr. being modern DK'S father makes no sense, because we see DK Jr. in "Donkey Kong" for the Gameboy, "Mario Tennis" N64, & "Mario Kart: Double Dash" both DK Jr. and Modern DK are seen together and DK Jr. is still a small baby/kid kong, no way his DK father!

    • @BlueAmpharos
      @BlueAmpharos ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Benja04 The kart and sports titles also have baby versions of Mario characters so we can't really use them to determine continuity. I checked though and you're right about him calling him his son in DK64. Though with Donkey Kong's and Cranky's comparitive ages, we don't know their actual age but modern DK is likely a full adult or at least close to it. Read that originally it was going to be DK and DK Jr. but Nintendo didn't like the idea of the new DK being the same one from the arcade game so Rare had to change DK Jr. to Diddy Kong.
      Still though, he's referred to as his grandson more often than his son, but it turns out in Tropical Freeze Nintendo or Retro decided to simply call Cranky "his elder" now so I don't think even Nintendo has a clear answer on their family tree.

    Brother, you're sleepin on the Smash Ultimate character model. The facial expressions are top-tier and single-handedly justify the camera feature. The same can be said for the Mario Cart series. If I had to pick between better voice acting or better facial expressions for him to express more emotion/ character, I'm going with the goofy-ass facial expressions every time.

    I, too, was bothered that they never used the godly DK64 voice ever again.
    I remember I think in the intro for Mario Power Tennis, DK hits the ball and does the DK64 voice for a single second and I LOST MY SHIT thinking they went back to using it. They did not.
    I searched the Mario Power Tennis intro and it's on the 2:30 mark, for anyone that's curious.

    5:40 fun fact, this is wrong! Modern DK is actually DK III in the games. In the film they got rid of DK Jr, but in the games Cranky is the original arcade DK, father of Jr, but modern DK is the son of DK Jr. Confusing, I know.

    5:47 This one gives me headaches. DK and DK Jr play tennis together, but Crancky is meant to be de DK without a tie, so Dk play tennis with himself but as a baby. But then DK with a tie battles mario on the DS donkeykong but still captures Pauline, but the Diddy Kong had a t-shirt that said JR so he was meant to be the Jr of Jr, be that the Dk with a tie, but then there is a Jr on country 3, and then we have the two marios on the original one but he isn't Luigi, they are the two mario brothers Mario and Mario 2. It's just so Fk-d up

    Modern DK is referred to as CK’s Grand child. DK Jr is CK’s child. So I think Jr is at least the parent of Modern DK.

  • @TakeMinamoto
    @TakeMinamoto ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the fact that DK seems to be reverting back to this "just an ape" characterization is greatly on Nintendo... when Rare redesigned DK for Country, they had an idea for where they wanted to go with the character, but Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to preserve as much as possible of the original beast-like characterization... and that seems to be the intent moving forward
