I think my issue with it, is that it still looks too much like regular Shockwave. He barely looks like he'd turn into a Whale in robot mode, and Whale Mode, looks too much like "Law says he can't be a gun any more" half-assry.
Maybe its like the SW Prequels, everyone* hated them when they came out, but then when the newer stuff to hate came out, suddenly they became good films.
I'm honestly surprised that they are going straight to Galaxy for the Sequel. Out of all the characters and lore that there IS in the Mario Franchise, I didn't expect such a "modern" game being the choice of next movie. Not something like SMW to intro Yoshi and maybe the Koopalings, or maybe...
My own Head Cannon to this is that Alpha Trion is "I don't want people to know me" Name, and him being the frail old man is an act. As one of the Thirteen, he was Alpha Prime. Since the majority had Prime in their names, it makes sense he would have as well.
