Finally the Mario series has the Resetera representation it was sorely missing.
 
Poor fucker. The man goes to dimensions of pure utter hell, getting attacked by things nightmares are made of, told to do drugs constantly buy eating mushrooms, has fire breathed up his ass constantly and dies over and over again, just to be told you'll do this with no reward.

Nah, son. Screw that bitch, move on Mario Mario.
 
Luigi be tappin that ass for ages behind bros back. Mario will be there to raise Luigi's kids like the cuck he is while he's out there drowning in daisy and peach pussy.
 
I don't understand how or why Nintendo still hasn't been canceled. Its paternalistic and sexist portrayal of women needing a man to be saved is completely outdated. Worse, it's toxic.
 
Of course they are just friends, otherwise it would be a straight relationship. NOA can't have that in current year.
 
Someone mentioned Mickey Mouse.

I have to point out that it is canon Mikey and Minnie ARE dating. And yet no one is asking that they get married or anything. Everyone is perfectly fine with the relationship between them because the feeling is clearly reciprocated on screen.

EDIT: in fact i just went and looked it up, and Walt said that Mickey and Minnie are secretly married. They just kept it private between them. So clearly, the issue isn't the need to portray sex or charging the status quo. What matters is that you have a STABLE relationship.

Mario and Peach are NOT in an equilibrium. Odyssey shows that he is rejected outright. If Peach is not going to be a love interest, then we can't have Mario pining for her AFTER the rejection, it is bad for him. No simping! You can't expect Mario to throw away his dignity every time Peach ask him for favors. Some privileges are only reserves for lovers, Peach can't just flirt to get what she wants.

Pretty sure this cringe bullshit is Nintendo America's doing or some mistranslation by the usual suspects.

Well the usual suspects would change Peach and Daisy to some flaming lesbians being together with one of them being trans and the other having some form of autism. Oh and by the way, Daisy gets blackwashed And don't you dare contest this fanon that is actually canon according to them or you're misogynist/racist/transphobe/lesbophobic/nazi/fascist/ableist/and the list goes on.

I don't disagree but I also didn't like Odyssey's ending. Felt weirdly mean-spirited after such a fun and feel-good game. Mario doesn't have to get kissed but having Peach admonish him after that big quest and rescue was just a downer.

The point of me bringing up Mickey was just to show that two characters in love doesn't have to imply sex or whatever.

I think the issue Peach had was Mario trying to propose to her IMMEDIATELY after saving her. And even persisting when Bowser is fighting with him, instead of, you know, kicking Bowser out and just taking Peach home away from the creep. Like, time and place, buddy.

Regardless, she still waves him on to hop into the Odyssey. And he seems in good spirits at the end.

That's true to with the immediate proposal but also why I would've cut that as well. Everyone just looks kinda bad in this scene.

I guess after that is fine but the first time I saw it it looked like she was just going to steal Mario's ship and abandon him and Bowser on the moon.

We KNOW that Nintendo is capable of writing characters who are in love with each other. The most recent incarnation of Link and Zelda certainly are. So it isn't that they couldn't write stories containing romantic love.

I guess the issue is that Peach is too enigmatic, we don't understand what she is really thinking. We know how Zelda feel about HER Link in every version of her through time, but Peach somehow is untouchable and on a pedal. Unlike the multiverse, across time Zeldas, there was suppose to be only one Peach. And her behavior as a whole looks like she only flirt with Mario as far as when she needs some impossible herculean tasks from him. This most recent attempt at forced friendship just makes her look bad.
