To be fair, Mario being from Earth, not the Mushroom Kingdom was his default canon for ages. Yoshi's Island did muddy shit up though it should be noted that it came AFTER the double flop that was Super Mario World cartoon (the last official Mario cartoon of the DIC era of having the cartoon rights) and the Super Mario Brothers movie. And later attempts to make a canon/world for Mario tend to be convoluted affairs and filled with retcons and a lot of new flat characters that don't add much to the lore.

You could make the case that Yoshi's Island and it's retcons were Nintendo trying to reclaim the franchise via a HARD reset of the lore. IE humans exist in the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario/Luigi are lifetime residents of it. And given that post-YI games have amped the stereotype factor for Mario up to eleven, plus the notion that the first two DIC cartoon shows (Super Show and SMB3) were tolerable and offered a decent base for Nintendo to create and expand the lore, I can see why there is a generation that prefers the DIC lore as the default lore for Mario since it's simpler, offers the unrealized potential of Mushroom Kingdom interacting with the real world, and doesn't raise all sorts of unanswered questions about Mushroom Kingdom and Mario's past that Nintendo doesn't care about answering, even if it's "Yoshi's Island is it's own canon" sort of deal.

What i'm trying to say is that Mario and Luigi could attract people to a given product without any further explanation. You don't need much beyond an in game text screen or a short cinematic as long as you have something like "jump on goomba, save the princess". It's going to be hard to upset gamers since they are there for the gameplay. The mario platforming games all have a mark of a certain quantity and quality. That's why they're remembered while people forget about other lesser games like Gex or Glover. There's no need for a complex world and story.

If i see a "Mario" brand game i'm going to assume its relatively straightforward and simple. I can apply this to Paper Mario, Mario Paint, or Mario Party as far as i'm concerned. Thats what nintendo's family oriented business is targeted towards. Its how they sell their consoles and first-party games. There have to be Mario and Zelda games on a nintendo console as console sellers. If there are any games that can be branded as a Mario game instead of something generic, they will do it for the sales.

This is not the same as a character that is intrinsically associated with an intricate story. Zelda for example has a ridiculous "canon timeline". The "timeline" is not really important to developing Zelda games. Nintendo's priority is making each game good enough on its own to sell the game and a console.

Let's take a similar "save the princess" story. Star Wars. If we took Luke Skywalker and tried to use him as the mascot for an entire company then it would destroy the integrity of the star wars canon in a sense. Luke can not be used like Mario to sell a soccer game, or a kart racing game. The franchise lacks the flexibility. Same as something like Lord of the Rings. These are detailed worlds that have a timeline that is important to the product itself. This is why people clown on modern star wars so much. They're trying to sell Dole lettuce with Kylo Ren's face on it. Luke, the franchise main character and "hero" is tied to a narrative. Mario is only tied to vague ideas similar to Link. Mario-Link/Peach-Zelda/Bowser-Ganon. How the narrative of "save the princess" plays out doesn't really matter on a grand scale because you can have them cart racing in another game with none of the weight of the plot lost. Imagine "The Last of Us: Kart Racer". It would be stupid because the activity is against the idea of the narrative and aesthetic. With mario, all the characters are cute and endering, so its fun to play games with them.

Mario started as a guy wearing overalls because the resolution was tiny. It doesn't really matter where this random italian plumber guy came from. It doesn't matter where he was born, or why he's a plumber. If you think it does, you're reading farther into it than most people.

Bob was born in 1981. He would've been 7 when SMB3 came out. What kind of deep lore is he imagining the mushroom kingdom has at the age of 7? My whole point is that when i was around the same age, the Nintendo 64 was enormous. I didn't care what deep lore made Mario do double jumps on goombas cause it was fun. The only people who care about these brand mascots having "deep lore" are people like CWC with sonic or a Moviebob with Mario. It's arrested development to project deep into "the universe of mario". This family friendly kids property that isn't meant to be taken seriously beyond "make it fun".

It's as big a mess as trying to canonically explain why Bugs Bunny in all the theatrical shorts just happens to have his rabbit hole in so many different places from a junkyard to the woods to the southwestern deserts to Tasmania to the Artic to a baseball diamond to National Park to whatever/wherever else he shows up. Also, his "occupation" in the story is also all over the place. Sometimes, he's a pet, sometimes he's a laboratory guinea pig, he's been a cowboy, a hobo, a thief, a pro-rabbit activist, a castaway, a conscript, a carny barker, a mayoral candidate, a conman and sometimes he's just a rabbit. An anthropomorphic one that lives in a burrow that has a human bed and a TV but is otherwise self-sustaining like wildlife.. sometimes he's self-aware of his own fame and is on the payroll of Warner Bros. as an actor allowing him to have spacious digs in Beverly Hills.... whatever.

Who cares and why does it matter?

I guess you could feverishly try and explain it all as him having some kind of job that requires him to relocate all the time or having multiple personalities, but you'd be doing a pointless exercise in autism. Because you don't have to.

It's not important that there be continuity between appearances as it is there to be continuity of character.....

All that matters is that Bugs is established as living in his hole, or cleaning his laundry, minding his own business, and then the antagonist shows up for his/her 5 minutes of dynamite and anvils..... don't overthink it.

Same with video games.

Mario is your super-a-friendly pal who a rescue da princess and stompa da goombas! Let's a go!

Where was he born? Does he pay taxes? What's his favorite color? Who the fuck knows and why should I care?

I just want to grill play a game.

 

[Jaracainofthewind]

This of course is utter horseshit given that a lot of 3rd party developers left Nintendo during this gen, and this is the console that had both Resident Evil, Final Fantasy VII, and even platformers like Crash. But again, Bob doesn't pay attention to anything and downplays things that are not his obsession.

Jesus Christ, the PS1 is one of the first systems to really define what a killer app was for consoles. Especially in that it had several.

What always goes through my mind when I read those passages is, "What kid thinks like this?!?!"

When I was a kid, I didn't give a shit if anybody else liked "gaming" or not. I just wanted to play games.

I never identified with Mario, or thought he was my friend.

He's either full of shit, or he has next level autism.

The Rpgs and paper mario games up until a certain somewhat recent point have some really weirdly complex self contained lore. There's a reoccurring comic relief buff scottish wrestler character in Super paper mario that You need to do some slight digging in the game itself to figure out what his deal is. Turns out he was a war veteran who lost literally everything before being hired by the main villain of the game.

On the topic of mario's origin, Nintendo did a weird soft reset of their retcon with mario odyssey's royalty free NYC being his origin point now instead of just the mushroom Kingdom. The mushroom kingdom is a weird concept in general because it's less another world and more like an Oz type situation where it's just a fictional country within a world that is similar to but not identical to our own. I highly doubt Bob knows the intricacies of Mario's lore and flip-flopping retcons of Mario lore, it's actually an interesting hole to venture down and actually requires an attention span above " woah Mario! My friend!". It goes kirby/splatoon levels of ridiculous at points very much would recommend that autistic hellspiral. Before Rare was bought out fucking CONKER was canonically a character in the Mario universe, and thats just one of the many oddities at play here. That's just a brief sample of the kinda shit you're getting into looking at Mario lore.

Bobby is very attached to Fox News. He is also very funny: if you don't laugh at his jokes you have no soul.


But of course his true love are Carlson and Greenwald. You can criticize the CIA but laughing at a pee o'sea woman who can change diapers with one hand is just low:



I don't recall Bobby getting jelly about poor people getting pizza.

Bobby, well-versed in Hollywood blockbusters, knows the MO of spying organizations like the back of his hand.

Concerning private data being used to apprehend people, Greenwald just doesn't get the tactic-target distinction:



How old is Bobby anyway? (Rhetorical question)

Liberals -- including Bobby, especially Bobby -- bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. Being brainly is such a curse.

Medicalization of life is a thing and has been a concern ever since the mid-20th century. Med Schools used to teach Ivan Illich's concept of Cultural Iatrogenesis, if not Foucault's theory about the medical construction of madness, homosexuality, etc. But these all go against Bobby's belief in the Magic of Science -- why bother to solve life's problems, or at least learn coping strategies and recalibrate your viewpoints, if you can just pop a pill?

Well, SMB3 was release in 1990, so Bob would've been 9. Still a kid, though, but yeah this was basically autism - assuming that what Bob wrote down in his book actually is what he was thinking and feeling at 9 years old, and not just current Bob's madness transplanted back on kid Bob in order make his autistic Mario fetish seem really important and core to his person since childhood. That, or it was just him trying to pad out the page length of his Let's Play book.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

What I'm more surprised about is that he managed to see one of his waifus' names without having an orgasm right there.

> Latina woman

No me jodas. ”Latina” is a feminine adjective so Latinas are by definition women. It's as stupid as saying ”an Englishwoman woman”.

What I love and what I think needs to be pointed out here is that Bob's saying the Intercept should just have ignored Snowden's leaks because they made neoliberalism look bad, thus letting Pmurt get in.

Blob's blind loyalty to Blue Team™ would be funny if it wasn't so autistic.

Ad hominems are one of the lowest forms of criticism for a reason.

Would someone please explain to me how a man who's white as snow and who can't speak any Spanish thinks he can speak for Latinos?

I'm not a Latino. If I'm talking about Latino affairs I'll give an opinion instead of sounding like the worst sort of La Raza sperg and spouting off about something I know nothing about.

 

[Grumpy Pickle Rick]

You get THOSE ones, who not only don't grow up inside, but they don't grow up intellectually, spiritually or socially either..... they're still the same self-centered brats they were at 5, convinced the world is destined to be their oyster, that their mere existence vindicates God and history so why bother learning it? (the fact the world produced me is recursive proof of my importance) and everyone else is a meanie-head out to ruin their fun.

That’s the problem with people like Bob. They think they’re hero of their own Harry Potter story. They think that the world is their stage and they’re the star. But there’s no such thing as heroes or villains in the real world.

There are good people and bad people but that whole epic battle of good vs evil is just made up bullshit.

However, I do believe everyone is the protagonist of their own story. And by that I mean, the story of their life. Now whether their life story turns out good or bad is up to them.

He wanted to be the "idea guy" that made the pitches for whatever animated movies get made, right out of the starting gate.

Why does every single nerd want to be the ‘Idea Guy’? I’ve met tons of people who want be the ‘Idea Guy’, and they’re were all idiots like Bob.

Does Bob realize how terrifying the implication is that a bunch of super humans running around with no loyalty to any group other than themselves would be? Already stretching their extranational morality thin when the first two things they have shown is the ubermensch family enslaving a small town and breaking a mass murdering terrorist out of jail.

Of course he doesn’t. People like Bob don’t think about the consequences of what living in a fantasy world would be like. They just think about the upside and not the downside. They don’t know that every action has consequences, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, there’s always a consequence.

And anytime someone tells Bob or someone like him different, they refute it.

 

[Pokemonquistador2]

That’s the problem with people like Bob. They think they’re hero of their own Harry Potter story. They think that the world is their stage and they’re the star. But there’s no such thing as heroes or villains in the real world.

There are good people and bad people but that whole epic battle of good vs evil is just made up bullshit.

Well, I would argue that there are battles that could be described as good vs evil - although no one ever thinks of their team as the evil team. That's the big problem. Even edgelords who think they can prove their superiority to the rest of humanity by killing without remorse are doing it for what they feel is a noble goal; removing their behavioral constraints and pushing humanity to a higher level. This is why people like Bob can advocate for genocide and still think they're on the side of the angels. They have the Right Opinions, therefore they can do no wrong and their opponents are subhuman untermensch..

Why does every single nerd want to be the ‘Idea Guy’? I’ve met tons of people who want be the ‘Idea Guy’, and they’re were all idiots like Bob.

Because Idea Guys never have to work at anything. They can just say : "I have a story idea that's going to make a billion dollars. A schlub like me gets transported to another world where he meets a big boobed woman in armor who acts like his bodyguard as they go on adventures in a world where everyone rides dragons. There. All I'll need to turn this into a franchise is a dozen writers, a movie studio, a budget of 200,000,000 dollars, and Gal Gadot. What? Write it myself and publish it to gauge what kind of public reaction it gets? No. I don't do that kind of thing. I'm the IDEA GUY. I provide the spark of inspiration that others use to do all of the work." The most work an "Idea Guy" will do is write up some sort of summary of what he wants to see, and more often than not it will be an amalgum of work that other people have done before him, much like how Chris-chan's Magnum Opus, Sonichu, was an unimaginative mixture of two of his favorite mascot characters.

People call George Lucas an "Idea Guy", but he not only came up with the initial Idea for Star Wars, he also established himself as a director with a hit film beforehand, wrote several drafts of a script, collaborated and networked with other people, came up with the funding for the film, and directed it in studios and on location. It took several years. Most "Idea Guys" don't want to do that level of work - they just want credit for the work others do.

Of course he doesn’t. People like Bob don’t think about the consequences of what living in a fantasy world would be like. They just think about the upside and not the downside. They don’t every action has consequences, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, there’s always a consequence.

And anytime someone tells Bob or someone like him different, they refute it.

Bob wants his power fantasy nownowNOWNOWNOW! Never mind that if superheroes were to show up in the real world right now, it would have terrible consequences. With society as divided as it is right now, random people developing mutant powers would be a crapshoot. Will you get a soft-hearted boyscout like Superman who wants to rescue people from natural disasters but will leave them alone for the most part, or will you get Captain Social Justice Warrior who will hunt down every bigot on the planet and toss them into an active volcano? Imagine if someone like Bob got superpowers, and you can probably imagine the worst case scenario.

As for Willow, the little people in that film (I forgot what they were called) were pretty much an expy of Hobbits - simple, country folk whose pure hearts and pluck help them save the world. I would also argue that the Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz weren't presented as gag characters, anymore than any of the other characters (like the Scarecrow) were gag characters. So Bob's wrong about Willow breaking ground in that respect.

 

[Jason Knight]

I don't even know where to begin with this bullshit.

Encouraging promiscuity is more likely to create an environment that fosters predation than one that opposes it because if you think it's okay for people to have sex in public you're opening the door to nonces.

I don't think anyone who has dealt with them (or in my case their Britbong equivalents) can claim to be surprised by the fact that the DSA and its various offshoots are full of petty squabbles and backstabbing.

The Monty Python sketch about the ”People's Front of Judaea” came about for a reason.

I have no problem with education. I have a problem with people who think education makes them superior.

This is the weird thing about Tariq Nasheed. He's a knockoff Malcolm X who genuinely seems to want to bring back apartheid, but he's also surprisingly based for completely the wrong reasons.

I guess if you're a Muslim, which I'm pretty sure he is, and if you notice what globohomo has been doing to black families since the 60's, which he does, it's hard not to be based.

By that logic Blob should hate the Squad.

It is a leftist meme, and it's made by the type of Jacobin-reading leftist that reads the Manifesto and realises that it says nothing about troons.

A member of Generation Z. As much as I hate them, I'd rather my generation was made up of commies than troons.

> I don't worship anyone

Except the Church of Consumerism and its Holy Trinity; that is to say the goddesses Anita, Alexandria and Kamala.

Got a confession to make- I posted that last tweet in the hopes of seeing his reply here.

For context, I have like zero followers. I just started using Twitter and I wanted to see how big his ego was.

Well if you can get your HIGH PROFILE brother to talk about Tiananmen Square...

No, Chris, we never would have guessed that you like the Disney products. It's not like mindless consoomption is your family's religion or anything, you troll faced lush.

What i'm trying to say is that Mario and Luigi could attract people to a given product without any further explanation. You don't need much beyond an in game text screen or a short cinematic as long as you have something like "jump on goomba, save the princess". It's going to be hard to upset gamers since they are there for the gameplay. The mario platforming games all have a mark of a certain quantity and quality.

Bob was born in 1981. He would've been 7 when SMB3 came out. What kind of deep lore is he imagining the mushroom kingdom has at the age of 7? My whole point is that when i was around the same age, the Nintendo 64 was enormous. I didn't care what deep lore made Mario do double jumps on goombas cause it was fun. The only people who care about these brand mascots having "deep lore" are people like CWC with sonic or a Moviebob with Mario. It's arrested development to project deep into "the universe of mario". This family friendly kids property that isn't meant to be taken seriously beyond "make it fun".

That is just a great example of something Bob developed in his early years that he's never let go of: imagining his favorite properties these massive works of art. No one else in this world (I hope) would ever take Mario as seriously as him. But he wants to love kiddy shit without the stigma of it being constantly seen as mostly shalloe dumb fun. He's doing the same thing with capeshit today. He can't like something without trying to force it to be of the highest respectability and popularity.

This of course is utter horseshit given that a lot of 3rd party developers left Nintendo during this gen, and this is the console that had both Resident Evil, Final Fantasy VII, and even platformers like Crash. But again, Bob doesn't pay attention to anything and downplays things that are not his obsession.

This, more than anything else, is what makes him such a pathetic fanboy. If he doesn't like it and many others do, then it must be a fad that will pass. Mario is forever while Crash, Spyro, and Laura Croft are temporary. Ridiculous. Although, I do imagine that those old Crash commercials mocking Nintendo and that beloved Daego pipe cleaner of his probably put the bandicoot into the same category of hate as Sonic.

 

[TopTierHealer]

Slight powerlevel but I also had many fantasies about the stories that the N64 would tell (but only because I was 9 AND I never had a console growing up). I kind of imagined OOT being this great massive epic that would drive me to tears if only I could play it. I blame the ads on tv for Majoras Mask, OOT and FFIX, they were fucking amazing. Still, I had overhyped it in my head as well.

Majora's Mask Commercial

This is a video of two commercials for the game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I wanted to put them in my other video of Zelda commercials but I ran out...

That, or it was just him trying to pad out the page length of his Let's Play book.

I mean, I'm one of the biggest Transformers-spergs out there, but even Bob's idiotic tome made me cringe at the sheer unadulterated autism on display, not to mention all the exceptional galaxy-brain takes on his fanfictionalized Mario ideas. Least of all the problems encoded therein is Bobby can't write to save his fucking life.

It just makes me grateful that Bob's far less of a Transformers-sperg than a Mario-sperg-sped. I shudder to think if Bob's fantasies involved idolizing Bob Budiansky (the guy that basically gave all the TFs their personalities) in the manner he idolizes Mario's creator.

Has Bob ever written any Mario Fanfiction? (At least any that anyone's found or knows about). I'm surprised I haven't seen him put anything on fanfiction dot net or anywhere like that, shipping himself as a self-insert between Princess Peach and Princess Daisy or something stupid like that. I've seen fanfic where people insert themselves into Transformers and literally get their brains uploaded into robot bodies. Bob seems to be behind the curve here for his Soopeeryah Fyootchah.

 

[TowinKarz]

Would someone please explain to me how a man who's white as snow and who can't speak any Spanish thinks he can speak for Latinos?

Well, who else can? Certainly not Latinos themselves as they've been denied a voice by your average dumb racist Americans, and since Bobby is big-brained and ashamed of everything white folks do, he's certainly not one of those average Americans, thus, it's obvious, only he can do it.

Why does every single nerd want to be the ‘Idea Guy’? I’ve met tons of people who want be the ‘Idea Guy’, and they’re were all idiots like Bob.

High speed, low drag. The "Idea Guy" gets millions of bucks for showing up at 2 or 3 meetings a week, or at least that's how people like Bob imagine it. So it's the perfect job for those without the skills to deal with more than 15 minutes of normal people a week and no concept of hard work, meritorious advancement or having actual standards to consistently meet. Its why personality types like his also want to foment a revolution in the misbelief they're smart enough and important enough to be the leader who gets to kick back on a sofa in HQ, surrounded by armed guards and big flags, moving pieces on a map while the rest of us schlubs do the dying.
