Honestly, I don't think it would be appropriate to call Donkey Kong as a sex symbol on the wiki since he's from a kid-friendly work so it would be tonally dissonant to describe him as such. Also, Mr. Fanservice has to be deliberately alluring and I'm not sure of DK was intended to come off as sexy (fan reactions don't seem to be enough for the trope to apply, the movie needs to frame him as attractive and alluring and being a hunk and doing a Pec Flex personally isn't enough to automatically qualify for the trope in my opinion).
Edited by Excessive-Menace SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMYYou made two edits to that page that are against policy:
- In DK's Mr. Fanservice entry, you deleted all the text, leaving only the trope name. That is a Zero-Context Example.
- In the Kong species' Fanservice Extra entry, you changed "Played straight" into "Gender inverted". Fanservice Extra is a gender-neutral trope to begin with, so it cannot be gender inverted.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s inappropriate to describe him as a Mr. Fanservice (plenty of Disney films have ‘em in either gender), but I agree he’s not an example, even though I’ve admittedly never seen the film. A Pec Flex seems expected for a powerful, showy character.
(It should also be made clear that having an alluring design does not necessarily make someone a Mr. or Ms. Fanservice; the way they’re presented or utilized is crucial as well.)

Well, it looks like I edited a file of Donkey Kong from the link
and I find him very attractive as Mr. Fanservice himself, because of being a Hunk and doing a Pec Flex ocassionally. I think some comments were right about it. If you would make a page of Donkey Kong spin-off movie when it comes out soon on T Vtropes.com, you'd describe him "the titular character as the sex symbol on the Nintendo Cinematic Universe". So, that's why...
