How do they want Donkey Kong? With or without suspenders?
Remember that controversy about Donkey Kong wearing pants in "Donkey Kong Bananza"? The funny thing is, it all started with an interview with Seth Rogen (the voice of the gorilla in the Super Mario movie) where he jokingly stated that Donkey Kong would be funnier in pants, and that's how Nintendo created the gorilla with pants.
But in the end it was all an exaggeration of the design, and in fact, you can take the character's pants off, so it's not entirely permanent.
•To be honest, I think I like Donkey Kong in pants aesthetically and in terms of design; he reminds me of a classic character from the 1940s, in addition to the facial redesign they gave him for this game.
And (and some of you might notice this) the relationship that Donkey Kong has with child Pauline reminds me a lot of Wreck-It Ralph with Panelope
That's not to mention that Donkey Kong's outfit and destructive abilities make him look even more like him.
