Curse my inability to tell if someone is replying to me in bad faith or if I'm just bad at explaining myself
#i blame autism#yes this is about eggman v bowser#Eggman is eviler#mostly due to tone differences between sonic and mario#sonic is not afraid to get into the nitty gritty of the effect of eggman's actions on the characters#While mario mostly has to play it safe#as it is a more family friendly franchise#I would love to civially discuss who between all mario villians and sonic villians is the most evil#but we all know it's dimentio#Sonic usually stays on a global scale#while mario is free to explore multiple dimensions and entire galaxies#Mario also has less dialog and story focus making it harder to gauge bowser's character#If we regard the movie as canon his marrying of peach is part of a global domination scheme#but everything is dubiously canon with mario#sonic fans will really just jump at any oppurtunity to rail someone for how they interpret a character#like if you dislike the comics just don't read them#if enough people do that#they'll stop making them#The comics aren't canon anyway

man just remembered this again but
3 isn't a villain anymore, like not at all
villains may have certain attributes but it's not only that
the narrative doesn't have him fill in that role, the role of the villain isn't his anymore
and why I'm bringing it up as important cuz of the villain 4 accusations
he. isn't a villain because that's NOT the role the series has him fulfill
also being self centered doesn't make him a villain. No, not always being the greatest friend doesn't either. Yes, he may have outbursts but that doesn't make him a villain either. Being a bit selfish doesn't either. Things that are dubiously canon like how exactly the events are filmed- like that's the biggest ongoing joke of the show IMO, you're not supposed to like, take it at face value. Being rude asf to Mario doesn't make him a villain either, it makes him a piece of shit and something he should repent for but NOT a villain.
Mr Puzzles is a villain because he fills in that role. He pulled the strings, even if we didn't see him as actively before. He kidnapped the heroes and is making them do his shows against their will while manipulating them, something that is also currently driving the plot. This isn't just a gag, it's the plot. You are obviously supposed to take it seriously. ALSO even if you take the thing about 4 recording everything at face value, PV is still worse because he isn't just recording them, he's making them do things against their wills to his own tune. 4 never really manipulated his friends like that, they always acted on their own. Like that's a HUGE difference

As a mario enjoyer I’m curious abt ur interpretation of the bros origins. This isn’t rlly asking what is canon cuz the series doesn’t rlly prioritize continuity and it’s all debatable etc. Personally I have a vague timeline in my head and I like to draw from pretty much all mario media but sometimes that makes contradictions. A lot of mario media has mario from new york (new donk?) and then ends up in the mushroom kingdom through a warp pipe. In yoshi’s island it seems his parents live in the mushroom kingdom though. And in partners and time baby mario and luigi are there during the shroob invasion in the past. I love partners in time a lot but I also rlly like mario being a new yorker so it’s hard to have my cake and eat it too. I guess he could be born in the mushroom kingdom then move to NY then come back? I’m not too sure. I’d like to know your take on it.
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO GET TO THIS. yeah i'm gonna be honest my take is sort of vague and meaningless because as a kid i just wanted every single thing to take place in one universe. and i sucked at making that happen. to me it sort of went like, they were delivered / born / whatever in yoshi's island to their parents. then those guys were like wait these arent our kids. then they were delivered to their actual parents or whatever (i have never really played yoshi's island i'm sorry) and they lived there for a couple of years and probably spent a lot of time with peach / around the castle because i figure if kamek was aware of the whole star children thing it's likely that at least some people in the mushroom kingdom would want them there for that. and mario has fought bowser a couple of times as a baby so who knows.
then after partners in time rolls around their parents who were sort of letting them hang around the castle went ermmmm actually nvm. we are going to brooklyn 1990 because it is Much Safer There. [looks into the camera like in the office]. and then they kind of lived in new york city for 20 years before getting dragged back to the mk in a tragic plumbing accident. even though i know they love their jobs as plumbers and are genuinely passionate about it i will admit that i like to think that mario wanted to go into paramedicine or nursing and luigi to university for aerospace engineering or something but it wasn't really feasible for them before the great eeby deebing 😔
i honestly don't really know how i imagine their parents, a lot of people have really lovely designs and concepts for them, and there's been a lot more stuff on them since the mario movie came out and gave people these dubiously canon characters to work with, but they just don't come up much in my mind. i don't want to be like "they died 💀" but also like mario and luigi are in their mid 20s and if they somehow ended up in the mushroom kingdom i figure their parents would also be able to go back there. but then you think about like the whole deal with the cartoons how the way between worlds was sealed and stuff and it just gets confusing to try and make everything work 😭
sorry i'll probably be able to come up with something more reasonable tomorrow after i sleep and give it some proper thought but i think in general i just have the skeleton of a timeline LMAO
delivered by stork yoshi's island style -> partners in time happens -> I Am Not Letting My Babies Fight Aliens We Are Going To New York City -> WHUH OH! PLUMBING EVENT GONE WRONG???!?!?! [NOT CLICKBAIT] -> basically every other game.
it's also a little tough to balance because judging by PiT they seem like they would have known or have learned at some point that they like. are actually from the mushroom kingdom and stuff. which idk how you'd explain that to your kids but whatever
there are honestly a couple of ways i imagine their backstory, like saying oh they fell into a warp pipe themselves while exploring baby style after PiT and were adopted and raised in brooklyn or just going oh they have their own room in the castle in PiT so they probably lived there as kids or just saying they were just born in brooklyn and ended up in the mk like in the the cartoons and ignoring yoshi's island and PiT but none of them are very cohesive or really make much of a difference in how i imagine their characters yknow?
i have the same dilemma as you because i also love mario being a new yorker but parnters in time is my favourite M&L game
don't worry though once get really into mario again i'm sure my favourite scenario will come to me in a prophetic vision. and then i will get back to you 🔥💯‼️
#talk tag#ask tag#sorry idk how coherent is i'm just experiencing the 4 am chattiness that plagues us all#(<- only a me problem)
