Nope, lol. I can meet you halfway, though. I liked the specials in Splatoon 1 more - they obviously had to be changed for the sequel due to the lack of second screen. And not all of the music tracks in Splatoon 2 are winners.
I disagree on every other count, though. Callie and Marie weren't better (and they, just like literally everything else in Splatoon 1, are much less visually interesting than their analogues in Splatoon 2), the map selection isn't better, etc. And gyro controls with split joy-con trump gyro using the gamepad HARD. As I noted, Splatoon 2 looks better, Splatoon 2 animates better, Splatoon 2 sounds better, and Splatoon 2 plays better.
