Your stance on Bowser?

I meant as the main or secondary villains.

Maybe Bowser brings back Mario's previous lives and uses them against Mario.

guess that's true

maybe something like a parody of Child's Play don't think mario has done that yet

If we talking undead (Not sure if he consider a Zombie or not) I think Dry Bowser could have some uses in that department. Would be interesting if he was a past king or related to Bowser but with out him being Bowser himself. Mario Party Island Tour stated that he related to Bowser by Bowser himself. And god know what other experiment Kemek as left behind.

Zombies also appear in Super Mario Land 2, particularly Pionpis from Super Mario Land 2. Dry Bones and Dry Bowser are also pretty zombie-like, though.

It would be funny if the twist WAS that Dry Bowser was a former Koopa King, now that I think about it. It would definitely make Dry Bowser's character more interesting, but of course, Nintendo isn't clever enough.

That the problem, Nintendo doesn't want to do anything with him but extra boss battle that usually mimics Bowser. They could do a lot with him if they gave some attention but not he's literally rotting away.

I personally don't mind the predictability in Nintendo if for nothing else that I don't think it's out of laziness, I think that for them it's a shtick. But that's obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea. I think they genuinely find it funny to watch Bowser get thwarted from the same lame scheme. But as it's been pointed out, that's certainly not the only scheme he's had, it's just the most prevalent.

I really don't see what people complain about Bowser do the same thing. He really has only one goal and it would weaken his Character if he suddenly not what he strive to do. He's persistent and take one hell of a beaten and still get up and try again. It's not like he hasn't learn from his mistakes, he does tweak his plans here and there. Is he a deep villain? Not really. He pretty simple for the most part, his back story has more interesting things but is very vague about it too. Bowser is meant to be a simple villain is a basic good vs Evil type things. Only in the RPG does he get more experimental development mostly due to the nature of the genre. I'll say he does his job well he not may fav due to lack of characters outside of the Evil King shtick but he gte points for trying.

I feel you - it'd be nice to see Bowser or another villain really do something super devious and unexpected, haha. 

True my only complain about them is that they didn't got much screentime (specially Antasma) and Antasma got a rather shoddy end (no rant, no epic death, he just inflate and explode)

I did like the twist about how Bowser turned the tables and became the final boss but i didn't like about how underwhelming Antasma was in the end.

Hence why i hope AlphaDream will bring him back and give him more characterization.
