How is fair to compare Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Odyssey without taking the former's age into context?

because nowadays, if I was going to play one of the two, my choices are not:

1) Play mario odyssey
2) Go into a time machine to 1985 and also erase all my memories of how gaming advanced and then play super mario bros

They're:

1) Play mario odyssey
2) Play super mario bros

Yes, one is older. Yes, the older one looks bad in comparison because things tend to get better over time as new advancements are made. Would you rather have a modern HD TV or a black and white CRT TV? Just because it's revolutionary for its time doesn't necessarily mean it's still good now.

plus, by being reluctant to compare like this it means you're also missing the stuff SMB might do better than odyssey, like having a higher difficulty, streamlined design instead of a ton of meandering side objectives, lower commitment due to shorter play time + fast startup -> play, and (for those who really hate motion controls) no motion controls
