Is it really affirmation if he says it as he throws Bowser to his death?
Really makes it seem like Mario is a proponent of "Bury your gays"
It's all kayfabe and stuntmen, as seen in Mario Kart and Mario Party, so dw
Okay but we as the audience are still supposed to suspend our disbelief and interpret it as Mario (the character) killing Bowser (the character)
Also, if it's all kayfabe in stuntmen, how do we know that Bowser isn't straight in real life and gay in kayfabe?
how do we know that Bowser isn't straight in real life and gay in kayfabe?
So long, gay poser
Or if Mario is straight in kayfabe and gay irl?
The mystery deepens...
Before fromSSoft turned "soulslikes" (actually mariolikes) fascist
Mario may have laid the ground work but the genre didn't really solidify until the release of Castlevania 64 added 3 crucial elements:
- Not knowing where to go because every environment in the game looks the same
- Bullshit fights where you just spam the same attack and dodge
- Spooky
Because of this I prefer to call the genre mariovanias
