my favorite part of donkey kong on the game boy is when mario makes the dreamworks face and does an ironic rap number

if chicken little and home on the range came out today people would act like this over one guy not liking them

guy whose entire tl is manga for kids and teens doing this bit

"lol get a life bro" this went viral cuz people emotionally attached to a generic kids movie got offended by someone not liking it. you're part of that crowd

"lol this is sonic fan bullshit" yea lame people ruined sonic why do you want them to ruin mario too

I hope NoA hires Egoraptor to make a rap produced by Koji Kondo about how Mario 64 aged badly or whatever. you deserve nothing good

gonna wish upon a star the Velma staff make an official Nintendo seal of approval Zelda show where every character is in high school but written & voiced like a witty millennial

people get really mad when balding millennial TV writer slop gets so overtly awful even they can't enjoy it. if everyone was like me that stuff would get nipped in the bud immediately

Velma backlash is just "oh you CAN put a lil shit in my food; I'm not a tryhard over-critical nerd. but don't just feed me shit and nothing else!"

grown adult into toy robot cartoons going "ugh you're so childish"

"ok so I watch kids' media but I don't CRITICIZE it" everyone going "what. the. FUCK" is just as much of a nerd as me but more pretentious about it

"Shuffle Alliance Member" yeah G Gundam is a better kids cartoon than the Mario movie. it's only fine to be into childish things if you never criticize them? give me a break

people can't even tell the difference between Mario movie writing and Bowser being a goofball villain in the actual games. how the hell are they gonna have "literacy" for adult media

"this brand of cynicism and irony is unfitting for the earnestly fun and joyful super mario video games"
"wtf are you saying mario shouldn't be silly? o_0"

the best japanese media is inspired by american media when it was really good. classic mario is golden age popeye, the mario movie is a lame TV cartoon

this is what mario should feel like

miyamoto may have killed the mario rpgs but look at mario odyssey's core mechanic. it's like something out of a surreal late 20s early 30s cartoon
