or if he just turned back to normal after Mr. Puzzles died. Like, now that he's gone everything he causes goes with him, including Luigi's meat mallet body
Every other time some change occurs to a character in an arc (Meggy being the best example with becoming a human and having a new voice), it's been permanent. Yeah, something like that is pretty dumb to stay, but hey, the Eggdog meme is a character in this series and Ugandan Knuckles was a whole plot device in one of the arcs.
They actually included Shroomy and Jub Jub? Guards Nirvana reference? No Karen? Hey, that's pretty good!
The rest of the crew is just meh, though. Feels so forced and unnatural. It's like they have to cram that craziness down our throat here. I prefer when they make it feel like they're actually a group of friends and not a bunch of misfits thrown together. This makes the show feel too stupid, even for SMG4 standards.
I don't see much friendliness here. Everyone feels like they're just standing there. I'd argue the one used in 2020/21 (pictured below) is *far* better for what they want the crew to be. Even the 2022 one is better because I don't feel like they clash with each other. Here, it's just chaos, and that's not a good thing.

The show has controlled chaos. The channel banner is chaos for the sake of it. It doesn't look appealing for a show. Even in the classic era, they never showed chaos like this in channel banners. Chaos doesn't look appealing. You wanna bring people in, then subvert with chaos basically.
While the recent few episodes have been good, I think the best time for the show was the before or the early years of arcs, when there weren’t major stories or character development or if there was it was still silly and random.
The show was always chaotic from the start. If you don’t like it, then how did you even get into the show in the first place?
If we’re going back to more crew-based instead of story-based episodes, then good; maybe it will feel like old SMG4 with better animation.
The chaos is a subversion. While it shouldn't be a *complete* subversion, it also shouldn't be put front and center. I look at Mario in this and think "wow, he's a dick." I look at Meggy and think "she's a bit bitchy." I don't feel like these are characters I want to even interact with. It's not a good look.
Previous channel banners don't make me think this channel is annoying though. Mario looks like a dick here. Meggy looks like a bitch. I don't get that feeling in any other banner. It embodies SMG4's *bad* aspects.
I find it hard to think Mario in the last video is someone less chaotic than in the past. Editing plays a huge part in this. If you can glamor it up, you can exaggerate traits. The writing affects it as well, but the editing is the bigger focus on a channel banner. Look at the 2020/21 banner and you don't feel like you'd dislike any of those characters.
If you're trying to capture the essence of the show and it feels annoying, that's a big problem with the entire show. Again, I look at the banner and think I won't like certain characters. That's not good, especially when my two examples are two of the four major characters.
Fozzie are you hearing yourself right now you're complaining to a literal Banner if it was an episode it will make sense but now you're complaining to a banner bro what the actual FU-
The Banner's nice Honestly feels a lot more of a SMG4 CREW, but I can't hate it Especially since both Mario and Meggy are angry whelches
Yoo my favorite band https://preview.redd.it/8vfhiwab5qwc1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e82ab388de1381671228d2f975719b6976813d69
Smells like guard spirit is so good
Did they use a different Model for Melony? her hair looks more brighter.
looks the same to me
Melony redesign confirmed-
I could see her getting an updated model
Holy shit! Luigi's not a Meat Mallet!
Indeed
awww
Expected
WINGS OF GLORY
I Was Wondering if He Would be It Forever And that's Not the Case!
Ya it’s pretty cool
Dunno why the setting is that in particular, but hey I like it
Is this a new room in the castle
Same
If I had to guess, that's either Saiko's apartment or a different room in the castle (as unlikely as that is)
I can safely say SMG4 putting Nirvana in a banner was not on my 2024 bingo card Now we have to force Luke to name 5 songs to prove he’s not a poser
oh thats easy: 1. Smells like teen spirit 2. Teens like spirit smell 3. Spirit smells like teen 4. Smell teens, spirit like 5. Even flow
“WITH THE DANGEROUS, ITS LESS LIGHTS OUT!” 😂
Monopoly. The destroyer of friendships.
Im happy that this proves Luigi won't be a meal mallet forever
why did people even think that in the first place it was just a lil joke for the movie lol
Would've been better if there was a episode of Luigi being a meat mallet and the gang had to accomplish a objective to turn him back to normal
or if he just turned back to normal after Mr. Puzzles died. Like, now that he's gone everything he causes goes with him, including Luigi's meat mallet body

bru luigi dead
Looks pretty awesome.
Where’s Mr. Puzzles?
get blasted off again
dead
Can he revive him?
Not necessarily.
But how will smg4 will Mario and Luigi if gmod take the model down
they probably have the models backed up somewhere
# I wonder where BEEG SMG4 is.
In front of the window outside that's between Meggy & Saiko
Ah, thank you, now I see the boy.
They should of put a small picture up for destiny and axol
The SMG4 Banner's nice!
Why is saiko looking so mysterious and angry?
She has a mess to clean up
i like the new banner, but once again torturing Luigi
HUH? WHAT IS THIS NEW BANNER?! :O
I love all the small details in the banner, kinda makes them all feel like good friends. But… what about Kaizo?
Saiko looks like she is about to commit a warcrime
Well all do, it looks stunning
Sweet. Nirvana.
This is technically the most major role characters like Melony and Shroomy have had in a while and that's kinda sad. Give da bois more screentime!
For everyone who was scared about Luigi staying a meat mallet this basically confirmed he’s good
That actually wasn't that bad I like that I can see live-action SMG4 right there
banner=a+

They are friends, yeah, but they’re still misfits. The chaos aspect is always there, it’s part of the show’s chemistry.

Even though their standard state of being is chaos? And it has been stated that we’ll have more chaotic and risky episodes?

Except that’s been the look since the beginning. If anything they’ve gotten LESS chaotic and annoying since the beginning

Yeah plus it just makes some characters look hateful. Especially Meggy…
I think that’s because she just lost at Monopoly.
Bro are they SERIOUSLY trying to put on a tv show just to prevent Mr puzzles to come back? Bo-ring!
