I'm gonna be so fucking annoyed at Kid Pauline always calling him by "D.K!!" with full voice acting. It's heard 3 times in the trailers and she never says "Donkey" or "Kong".

How does this affect you?

How is she supposed to know his name? He only has the tie

freak kong
more like
peak kong

I can't wait to buy a plushie of him.

The sound of her forced voice acting and the insistence on saying "DK" instead of "Kong" or "Donkey Kong" triggers my agitation senses, and it pisses me off? That enough reason for you, xister?

>>713471786
Right?

>>713471786
This. It's likely that she sees his tie and calls him DK the whole game without knowing what it stands for because he can't articulate it.

You're just autistic.

because his name is Daniel Kong, he's the 5th in a long line of DKs
>Darby Kong the 1st
>Derrick Kong the 2nd
>David Kong the 3rd
>Darius Kong the 4th
>Daniel Kong the 5th

they all coloquially take on the name "Donkey Kong" because Darby Kong was the lead role in a movie of the same name where he kidnaps a then-young Pauline (playing herself).

that’s not fucking donkey kong, this is.

She can understand Void Kong talking to her, so she understands the talking animals. Does Cranky ever call Donkey Kong by name?

>>713471687 (OP)
can't blame her. It's not like DK can actually talk to tell her his name. He just has a tie that says D.K. on it...

Brawl DK was kind of bland to be fair. Pic related and Rare days are peak.

So is this a prequel?
Will adult Pauline be DK's mate in the present since they knew each other for years?
