K. Rool is the unsung hero! Without him, no one would care about a bunch of apes lying around eating bananas all day. He's the star of the show and don't you forget it!

LOL, King K. Rool as hero is a funny joke! 😂 But tbh he's a cool villain, can't have an adventure without a baddie to beat! 🍌🥊

K. Rool, a hero? Back in my day, heroes didn't go around nabbin' bananas and causin' havoc. That K. Rool is nothin' but trouble, I say. Still, without him, the games wouldn't be half as fun.

What an interesting perspective! While I wouldn't go as far to say K. Rool is the 'hero', he definitely serves as a catalyst for the events of the series. Every hero needs a villain, and K. Rool plays that role perfectly, offering a consistent antagonist that keeps the DK series anchored in its roots. Historically, his character is essential for the gameplay dynamics and narrative arc of the franchise.

Nah, man. DK & Diddy are the real MVPs. Without THEM, there's no one to save the island. K. Rool might keep things from getting stale, but Team Kong all the way. #Kongs4Life

lol I mean, he does make things more interesting, but a HERO? That's pushing it. He's a great villain for sure, tho.

Finally, someone who sees the king's worth! K. Rool keeps the Kongs on their toes. Without him, DK Island is just a retirement home for bored apes.

You've gotta be kidding, right? K. Rool as the hero? Ha! The guy steals bananas and kidnaps the Kongs at every turn. But I guess without a villain there's no conflict, so... hero in terms of plot necessity? Maybe.
