You know what, now that he's back I'm gonna say it:

For as good a Showman as he is, when it comes to his actual chosen profession of a show creator Mr. Puzzles actually kind of sucks.

-He can't handle when things go off-script even slightly, which is ironic considering his four greatest successes came from giving the crew (or a related character) a prompt and just sitting back and recording the fireworks.

-Everything always has to be about him, even when in-context it really shouldn't be.

-When he has full creative control over the crew he has NO UNIQUE IDEAS. Everything he makes is a blatant rip-off of another show that only gets elevated to affectionate parody thanks to the very cast that he chose explicitly because he believed they sucked and wanted a challenge.

-Speaking of which, he clearly doesn't know quality when he sees it and either severely underestimated them, overestimated himself, or both, because it took them less than ten minutes to match and surpass his precious Five Stars.

-The five stars that took him most of a movie to get AND, need I remind you, THEY EARNED FOR HIM UNINTENTIONALLY!!!!

-It's clear from his monologue at the end of today's episode (and the fact that the episode exists at all) that, despite claiming otherwise, he has learned nothing from his defeat.

INBOX UPDATE vvv

inbox is going on a temp close until i can catch up to more asks. this just feels right for me atm and i will likely reopen hopefully by mid sept. or earlier if i catch up much sooner.

so sorry for my slowness, i just really dislike rushing into something when i know i can give my full attention and appreciation in a later future day. i want to appreciate and make something worth for each ask bc i srsly appreciate everyone's effort of participation and adoration to even want to etc.

i love everyone's support and please just have a bit of patience as i get around to everyone. school just started for me so i'm doing my best to keep a good head leveling it with this and other projects. i'll likely be bouncing a bit so bare with me such as smg4 musicals, tsb lore/story, lip bite comic, fanart, gifts, AND something else i have in mind but wont share till a later date.

otherwise, tysm for anyone reading and i'll be doing my absolute best to get back to everyone! the silliness endures B^) ✨

Okay! I got it!

Puzzle4 as one side/ship

It’s probably worth talking about how we initially already understand that mr puzzle is obsessed with the smg4 channel, even considering that if Mr. Puzzle wanted fame, he could definitely just capture Mr. Beast in their universe and that’s it.

But he chose the smg4 channel because he thinks.

"It's the stupidest show that I ever seen"

Mr. puzzle can really like smg4 and be like his fan, but he wants a smg4 show to become something much better as we see. He tried to make a smg4 channel into something that he call "perfect show"

And he also think that smg4 gonna like it, but eventually nope.

_

"High marks from me"

Mr. puzzle is like complimenting characters in not serious style

But only mr puzzle favorite is the smg4, because he even give him a little nickname that we didn't notice.

"SHINY"

Shiny like a star, probably.

Because Mr.puzzle power is stars

And as we can say, for Mr puzzle, smg4 is a star of the show.

Because he is powerful, he is main character and also the only character that Mr puzzle like when he is antagonist of the show.

Because of that we can see that in PuzzleVision series, Mr puzzle make smg4 as a main character or evil person.

Because that how he likes smg4, and how he want to see him in "own head"

-

"OTHER MINIONS!"

Mr puzzle only attention is on smg4

Yeah, basically, because smg4 is like his favorite character here.

But also, Mr. puzzle tried save smg4 life once

Like in episode "Mario the exploro"

Where after see smg4 bleeding he looked at first like he is acting and pretend that he is still just funny Italian guy but after he see that smg4 almost died he looked terrified or scared.

As I can say, Mr. puzzle actually really cares about some people who are close to him, like he really been protecting Meggy as he can and also tried cooperative with her.

Also, when he sees smg4 like almost in danger situations, he panicked, like when Meggy gets in the same dangerous situations.

It shows that actually Mr. Puzzle care about smg4 even though they are not close friends or anything else, they enemies.

Mr puzzle is really likes a "real" smg4

Not his brainwashed state

Even if in that state smg4 is more friendly for Mr puzzle, Mr puzzle is still likes more a normal smg4, and can be scared when smg4 acts weird.

(Again, showing that he cares a little)

But only thing that Mr puzzle is don’t care is that how good smg4 feel himself, because Mr puzzle can't understand that, he get rid of own humanity and he even didn't get attention from anyone before, to know that this actually not good.

We just can say that most of the time Mr puzzle being like that with smg4 because of own ego for himself and because he doesn't really know how it's like to care about other opinions or feelings, because his own feelings doesn't get any attention from anyone.

We can even see there that Mr puzzle Don't really care that smg4 scared, he just happy to see him and he also saying that smg4 actually bet for him to come back.

He also feels like he wants attention not only from the audience but from smg4, too.

Because I already said that he likes a lot smg4

And want attention more from him that anyone else here in smg4 crew

----------

That all I could say right now, guys

If you want to add something

Just reblog and add your opinion or anything interesting about puzzle4 moments.

Bye!

[funkii4-blog]

Time to infodump about the main theory I’ve been hooked on lately because I surprisingly haven’t here already, and it’s rooted in my predicted explanation for 4’s odd writing that he’s had this chapter.

I’ll just cut to the chase; I firmly believe the corruption is still within 4 from IGBP, like a parasite. It was dormant for a while after he was saved, but never actually left him, and the event that seemingly triggered it to be active again was PV’s reappearance back in Mario The Exploro. Ever since that, his sanity’s been slipping more and more; the opening shot of the episode I Put Mario In Danger For Views even has a striking parallel to the IGBP livestream:

Additionally ever since PV returned, he’s been extra focused on finding success & popularity, initially just for his channel and now for the Showgrounds with the meme factory plot. He’s even seemingly been exploiting Meggy in her leggy form to help get this success (which is really fucked up wth dude)

It should also be noted that being on the Showgrounds could possibly be speeding up his re-corruption; as he was at his most normal this chapter in Mario’s Plane Trip, which didn’t take place on the Showgrounds at all. The reason for this likely being that not only was PV responsible for the Eldritch Goo, he canonically owned the Showgrounds before 4 did, maybe even creating it himself. This was hinted all the way back in the episode Our New Home, in which the Showgrounds made its debut, when his logo was on the property listing.

And in the newest episode, Despicable Mr. Puzzles, PV’s last line before entering the factory is “Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?”, implying his idea to steal 4’s power wasn’t just on a whim when he saw the factory. He’s probably been watching 4 and planning this since he returned. We know the basis of what he’s trying to do, but there’s probably much more to it than what we know. (Not to mention the episode had a cold outro which only happens when things are about to get crazy)

Next teaser will most likely be tomorrow so we should have a slightly better idea then :))

Edit: even after whatever the hell the last episode was the main point of this still stands

[icedbeverageenjoyer]

Despicable Mr. Puzzles SPOILERS!!! (Boy, do I have a lot to talk about!!!)

Alright, my fr opinion on the episode?

I feel a bit uneasy with the direction they're taking Mr Puzzles' charecter,

I am a Mr Puzzles simp so I could be kinda biased but I'm ok with the direction they're taking him! Though I am very concerned if they'll be able to pull it off or not.

I really liked Puzzles as a cold, mysterious villain whose wacky demeanor makes him even more unsettling, but I don't mind him getting a redemption arc and becoming a bit more soft and sappy. Even so, I am worried that the crew might woobify him and strip him of all his nuance.

I absolutely squealed when Puzzles was being cute with Leggy! But I do want there to be a scene where they actually acknowledge how much shit he's put the crew through. They did acknowledge Meggy's trauma in the Puzzlevision movie but with SMG4's casually annoyed response in Mario the Exploro makes me have serious doubts this could happen...

SMG4 might be one of my fave shows but I don't really expect writing quality from them. I think their strong suit is 10 minute short adventures and they're damn good at it!

Even so, I choose to believe Mr. Puzzles is in the right hands! And if he is not, fanon is always an option!!

Woo- what a long rant! Hope you have a great day y'all!! 💞🧡💛

[mage-ical-character-person]

He doesn’t know what a target audience is.

Sir. Child does not understand mannequin soap opera. You cannot expect mannequin soap opera to appeal to average child.

That doesn’t mean you have to make THE SLOP! I love children’s programming and this is insulting. You parodied blues clues you referenced the muppet show you should know better. Become Sesame Street! Become Yo Gabba Gabba! Become Storybots! NOW!

Genuinely though. Such a good episode. I love how pathetically lonely this guy is. Favorite genre of guy. Meggy’s incredibly mixed feelings on him. It’s great.

Genuinely so excited to see where this bit goes.

I think it’s notable that… Puzzles didn’t really do anything all that bad here? He’s at rock bottom and the worst thing he does is yell and children. Which is of course bad, but very tame considering his track record. Nobody got kidnapped, or brainwashed, or forced to be an actor against their will. The only one who got hurt is Puzzles.

He has NO ACTORS. He is using mannequins and chicken nuggets as characters. And he can suck people into his head even when he doesn’t have the ratings power. He does it in Mario the Exploro when he’s half dead.

and the fact that he asks.

Sure, he’s being a smug jerk about it, but he asks. He doesn’t force anyone to do anything.

I guess once you get a taste of someone actively and genuinely choosing to be around you, it’s hard to go back to keeping only brainwashed company.

(Also don’t act like something can’t be both profound and a dumb meme. Ironic enjoyment is still enjoyment even if they don’t “get” it. Bring people joy. Throws Potato Knishes at you. Little King John… the flood…)

[me-is-bad-at-giving-names]

About theory of SMG4 being the main villain in near future...

So, I decided to do basic math and count how many times SMG4 was antagonist and protagonist in Mr. Puzzles' parodies (not only).

Mario's Mysteries

Protagonist

0vs1

Not that he really wanted to help Mario, but after all he did.

Once Upon An SMG4

Antagonist

Villain

1vs1

Do I need to explain?

Scooby Mario, Where'd You Go!

Protagonist

1vs2

Part of the crew, helps solving mystery.

Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular!

Game show itself doesn't really have a plot (I think). Yes, it lets us know that Puzzle is bad. But if we forget about lore and take in our sight only this episode (what I think is unwise) there is no bad characters. Only the host and participants.

Neutral (I am confused ok?)

1vs2

SMG4 movie: Puzzlevision

1vs3

Movie is about Mr. Puzzles being villain and SMG4's gang escaping and defeating him.

Mario The Exploro

Main hero

1vs4

Good guy, obviously.

And... This is where things get bad.

Edit: after Mr. Puzzles return. (Is this SMG4 way of coping? Going nuts when things get bad?)

SMG4 and the Meme Factory

We all remember that one scene, right?

2vs4

Despicable Mr. Puzzles

3vs4

Two in a row... And seems like he doesn't plan on snapping out of it. Maybe soon enough score will be equalized.

Mario the Exploro Review

Mario, why did you bring THAT TV Man back? I thought the arc was already over! Man, even SMG4 didn't want the PuzzleVision TV to be back! 😭

I didn't think we would get to see Mr Puzzles ever again. But, I hope this will be the start of his redemption

SMG4 actually looks fine with pink overalls and gloves, even though the pink gloves were only in the thumbnail and not the actual episode. Mario as Boots made me laugh. Dora the Explorer was a show I remember watching, and it was actually a funny episode

Blood in an episode is a rare thing to happen. Still can't believe Bob was playing the role of Swiper in this episode

Bro, they brought him back after four or five weeks of him being absent. And Karen is in this episode, so that was nice to see. Also, SpongeBob Popsicle! 🥰

I'm just like the lads here. I dunno what show will be next to get the SMG4 treatment, but I'm kind of sad that SMG3 wasn't in this episode. He would have made an amazing Swiper the Fox

We definitely need more new faces for Mr Puzzles, though

[originallymarysue]

Spoilers for Mario the Exploro (only the ending but it's important)

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I JUST REALISED SOMETHING

so in the new episode Mr Puzzles states how he wants to take over the SMG4 show right? And he's probably going be like a minor recurring antagonist.

Well in my au, Puzzles wants to take over Peach's throne and is a minor recurring antagonist.

DID I JUST ACCIDENTALLY PREDICT SOMETHING? (no I didn't but let me have my moment)

[kuromispamton2000]

scenes redraws kinda (expect for SMG4'S eating the popsicle for revive for obvious reasons)
