People being mad at the Super Mario Galaxy movie for not having a deep story when every mainline Mario game in history had on average less than 10 minutes of cutscenes and almost no dialogue is kind of silly.
Did these people want a coming of age film that explores the tragedy of getting older where Mario is now working a dead end job but then one night while drinking in his shitty apartment he says "i don't know Luigi, I just don't feel super any more" but then he turns on the news and sees that Peach Toadstool (moved to New York) of Peach Enterprises (basically Apple of this universe it's like iPhone but there's a peach logo instead) has gone missing so he looks at his brother and goes "Luigi we have to do something. What do you say? One more adventure?" and Luigi sadly goes "Sure Mario. It's what he would've wanted." And the camera pans to a fuckin picture of Toad, Luigi, and Mario playing baseball (game reference)(Toad is dead btw). So Luigi says some shit like.. "are we actually going to do this?" and Mario goes "Lets uhhh... Let's a go!" So they head on a massive adventure full of trials and tribulations where Mario has to relearn how to use all of his old powers but can't make fire no matter how hard he tries. Then in his final battle against the big enemy (bowser in like a mafia setting i guess) there's a moment where Luigi and Peach are about to be killed by enemies and Mario can't physically reach them so he shoots out a massive fire blast for the first time in the movie and it pans to him and it's symbolic of him both physically and literally getting his spark back?
Is that what they wanted?
am i the only one that thinks them continuosly including naoya instead of maki in merch and official art is absolutely mental and a much larger issue than it seems. like genuinely what the hell.
i distinctly remember when i was like 6 asking my older brother why luigi does this and he just responded "cause he's mexican" and im more confused why he said that than i am about the fucking final smash
this is the funniest and saddest kind of depressed person. Right below this he admits this mindset does not help him at all! He still can't clean his room (because of his mental illness) but now he has this additional load of self hatred. Heartbreaking lack of insight
