It's like if they made a sequel to Super Mario Bros wherein Mario and Luigi fell into that big pit on World 8-2 and died, resulting in the eventual fall of the Mushroom Kingdom, the horrible deaths of every character in the franchise, and Bowser transforming into a hideous monster bent on annihilating all of existence, and now I have to play as some jackass I've never heard of as all of this is slowly revealed to me. Then, years later, Nintendo re-releases Super Mario Bros with new levels that tie the two games together and charges me ten bucks to play it on a phone.

Aside from Partners in Time, Mario games don't have anything to do with time travel, which is the whole point of the thing.

I'm also wondering when was Lavos ever not a being of mass destruction.

I'm not saying Cross is perfect, nor have I ever done so, but your metaphor could use some work.

No, it works fine, because it's using an example of something else in a semi-related medium with comical changes to liken it to the real-world developmental process involved with the subject at hand. If you wanted me to compare it to something exactly like Chrono Cross, then an analogy wouldn't have been used so much as me just plainly stating that Cross is a pretty terrible sequel, which wouldn't have been as fun.

But if you liked fun, you wouldn't be defending Chrono Cross. DOHOHOHO!
