Man after watching the splatoon direct ive been having different thoughts about the salmonids and their whole deal (cuz i love the goofy little guys). Like dont get me wrong i LOVE salmon run its alot of fun to do (i enjoy it more than turf battles honestly) but it is interesting to see the salmons escalating their attacks against the inklings not only with more big special dudes but THE KING coming on land to beat ass. Also the fact that the salmonids are now just attacking the city outright is so cool to see.

And the thing is the salmonids have every right to attack! The inklings are stealing their fucking eggs!! And giving them to someone who seems to be eating them or whatever mr griz is doing to them. Mr Griz got a bunch of bored squids looking to make some cash to steal from a different species and started a war that HE profits from and the that the inklings and salmonids both suffer because of it. I will say i am a little disappointed that we still seem to be on Griz’s side cuz i would switch to the salmon side so fast cuz we know salmon and inklings can work together cuz of the new little one we work with in the single player story (small fry i think?). And honestly i doubt it would be that hard to make a salmon run mode where we fight with the salmon to get their eggs back. I imagine something like instead of fighting the salmon we fight robots or corrupted versions of them that Griz had made and we collect the eggs from destroying them like in bas salmon run.

Last few things is 1 ive seen a lot of concepts for a salmon player character which im all down for but i highly doubt it would happen but would be cool. 2 im really curious to see what the paid dlc will have i just hope its like the octo expansion cuz i loved that, tge dlc seems to include pearl and marina from the teaser so im curious. And 3 as a little notice the octarians that we fight in the single player mode are covered in brown hair. Hair or fur that is the same color as grizzly bears...interesting

Anyway thats my crazy rant about it im just hoping for more lore on salmonids! And also the idols are great i would die for big guy and i love the 5 head on frye and shiver is so cool (and intimidating to me for some reason??)
