I noticed leafling Olimar kinda looks like he has a beard.
Also, the leafling thing isn't as sinister to me as it's often portrayed, I always thought olimar's helmet antenna made him look like a big pikmin.
So to the pikmin, he's just like what the big bulbmin are to the little bulbmin.
So, olimar becoming a big pikmin makes it come full circle.
Dandori doesn't feel like some sinister obsession to me. It feels more like the instinct on which pikmin themselves operate, making them coordinated and mutually supportive. Like bugs? Ants even? :]
Of course the sinister element is the loss of self, but I didn't think it was portrayed as an irreversible amnesia, I like to think the leaflings can eventually peice their individual selves back together while still maintaining this new collective instinct. Bees and ants to have some form of individuality and a "true hivemind" the way it's portrayed in media isn't very accurate.
Then, of course, there's the idea that they can't survive off planet or go home. That's definitely bad.
Also it gives me an excuse to make Olimar look kinda bear-ish. ;D
