Thinking about how the most anxious and inexperienced version of Mario is paired up against the most unhinged and powerful version of Bowser.

#Mario Movie #Super Mario Bros #super mario brothers #I may be oversimplifying I have not thoroughly explored every iteration of Bowser #BUT still thinking about how handily he fought Princess Peach and Donkey Kong at the same time #plus the sort of power it took from the Super Star to defeat him (his ship frickin EXPLODED and he was still in once piece and conscious?) #don't even get me started on the power behind his fire breath... melting steel and destroying entire kingdoms. #And then there's Mario #a silly little well-meaning plumber who's like '''???? What is going on??? Where is my brother????'' the whole time #just to be targeted by Bowser for merely existing within five feet of Princess Peach for longer than twenty minutes #I just... it's so GOOD #I need the sequel so badly I NEED to see Mario and Luigi fighting this version of Bowser with only common powerups and their wits #I need to see how they emotionally cope with knowing they're going in for round two against this loony juggernaut
