I feel like a lot of people thrown by the realistic characters never owned the original SNES/64 games back in the day and are instead used to how Fox/Falco look in Smash Bros where they're more cartoony.
Even in the SNES game, the box/cartridge art and manual used "realistic" live action puppets to portray the characters, while Starfox 64 was as close to "realistic" as you could manage within the 64's limits.
This approach is very much a return to the series roots.
