Event 3
An incredible showing of the new movie, " The Super Mario Bros Movie." Unlike the video games, it was interesting to see how the characters interacted with one another for the first time. We get to see how Luigi and Mario dealt with this unique world utterly different from their own. The story was a simple, comedic plot that anyone, regardless of age, could get into. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

You're so right about the racist and imperialist bullshit, and something tragic to me is that this does not feel in the slightest like Zelda. In BOTW at LEAST, she's shown to actually be very smart, and while it's understandable (although not excusable) that she would have this worldview due to being raised thinking Hyrule is always right, it just really feels like she should be examining this more closely and seeing problems with it. But Nintendo won't do that, in no small part because they're cowards.
I would talk in detail about how mad I am at how they portray Ganondorf and the Gerudo, but I will spare you the 50 page essay
NO COME BACK I WANT THE ESSAY
Okay but in all seriousness though, idk, I do sort of feel like this is still fairly in character for this Zelda. I found BOTW (and Age of Calamity) characterized her as someone who is very... I don't know, traditional? To an aggressive degree, even when that adherence to tradition is actively hurting her. I mean, the closest she ever comes to actually trying to defy her fate is when she gets mad at a rock that one time. Which comes at the end of her having spent about 60% of her entire life standing in ponds and praying at said rocks in the hope that maybe this time it'll work out, because that's what she's supposed to be doing. It's canonically mentioned somewhere she almost killed herself accidentally as a kid, because she refused to get out of the damn prayer pond until she collapsed from hypothermia. Like yeah, it's fucked up that she was expected to do that... but she never thought there was anything wrong with her having to do that. She just figured she was the problem for not getting the magic at the right time.
And the narrative backs her up on this, because once she has her divine powers, BAM, all her problems are solved. She's a calm, confident leader who knows exactly what to do in every possible situation, no matter what. BOTW Zelda is an extremely passive character tbh; she seems very determined to be exactly the person she is expected to be, and she's not remotely interested in actually examining if those expectations are correct.
(though in regards to her being smart they did kinda do her dirty in TOTK; why the hell did Mineru need to fix the knockoff sheikah slate for her. zelda canonically is interested in sheikah tech. why tf does an ancient person that's never even seen a sheikah slate before need to repair it for her, NINTENDO EXPLAIN)
Anyways, and in regards to her morals... I gotta say, while she was at the point of being able to do the hard work to self examine and walk it back, BOTW Zelda definitely read as a possible baby nationalist to me. I mean, let's be real here, she is incredibly priviledged; she's the future ruler of the damn kingdom by Divine Right, and has spent her entire life being told that. And at the same time, she has really low self esteem... and no inclination to try and change the situation that's ruining her self worth. Which is how you get that one memory of Zelda using her privilege to abuse her indentured servant (indentured, because let's be real here, Link does not have the option to just quit his miserable job), knowingly tries to get him in trouble (if she runs off alone and gets hurt, it's Link's fault for losing her in the first place), and is disturbingly cool with dehumanizing him for being stuck doing his job ("It seems I'm the only one with a mind of my own around here"). And she uses her station to publicly humiliate him at one point, because that ceremony at the sacred ground was fucking painful to watch, and let's be honest here... there's no way in hell it was only the four champions attending this apparently really important ceremony; there was totally a crowd that was cut to avoid having to model all that shit.
Not that she was actively trying to humiliate him, but like... she's the one with all the power in this relationship. Link is a knight of the kingdom, and she's the soon to be Queen. Link is going through all those memories well aware that Zelda can and possibly will destroy his entire life the second she gets the chance. My point is, Zelda is extremely privileged, and it's her responsibility to understand that and be careful not to abuse her power. But the game never even suggests that she notices or cares about it. I mean fuck, even after she stops actively abusing Link, I still don't think she treats him very well. I mean for fucks sake, that one memory with the frog is really upsetting to me - she's certain her and Link and friends and everything is fine, but the power dynamics have not changed. She's still got him at a massive disadvantage, but she doesn't even hesitate to demand that he eat a live frog on the spot so she can see what happens. I liked to think that she was actually trying to make amends with Link for her mistreatment of him, but the game never really shows proof of her trying beyond the most shallow gestures possible (really? you gave him some food, and that makes up for abusing your indentured servant? that's the whole process?).
And all things considered, in TOTK, I... do not see any evidence of her having gotten better. She's just gotten worse, and I can see that as being a trauma reaction; she's basically lost everything, and now she needs to rule a kingdom after a century holding back an apocalypse. I understand why she wouldn't be in a place for self growth after that. But the unfortunate fact of life is that trauma and terrible situations can bring out the absolute worst in people - not to bring real politics into this, but after WW1 Germany was absolutely ruined, as the winners of the war imposed some completely impossible demands on them. People were starving and desperate, and that drove the country into fascism. So that's how we get TOTK Zelda - someone who is absolutely certain that divine forces make her the single most important person in the room at any given moment, Hyrule is a perfect and superior kingdom that can do no wrong, and anyone who disagrees is pure evil and must be destroyed. As for her treatment of Link... I honestly don't see it improving much. She still treats him as more of an object than a person, at least as far as I've seen - the last she saw of him, he'd suffered a horrible and traumatic injury, and yet she just takes it as a fact that he will be perfectly able and willing to take up her fight in the future; what else could he possibly be doing if not serving Zelda? That's his only purpose in life, of course he'll still be willing to do exactly as she orders.
Also jesus christ, the cult of personality built up around Zelda in game... there's so many red flags there. Despite all the genuinely monstorous shit that the fake Zelda pulls, nobody even considers being mad at her for it, even when they're still certain she's the real deal. She's the Divine Princess, of course she can torture and brainwash her subjects without consequences if she wants to, and her victims will still love her for it because they're certain they deserved it. No matter how dark things get, nobody even gets annoyed with 'Zelda' for hurting them. They're just scared that they've done something wrong to upset her, and worried they might not be able to serve her well enough.
(Can you tell the whole thing with Yunobo and the Fire Temple pissed me off, because that was infuriating)
It's good if a ruler is loved and respected by their people of course, but the level of blind devotion she's encouraged is... worrying. Of course, that's only there because the writers love Zelda and can't have let anyone question their precious favourite character, but I'm looking at this from a Watsonian perspective, and that perspective makes for a very disturbing picture. A good leader wants their people to feel safe contradicting them and asking questions. But instead we have people putting so much blind faith in her, they're completely willing to strip naked and walk into monster dens without weapons, because they think that was her orders, and they would never question Princess Zelda. And in universe, a group of researchers being ready to commit suicide on her orders is framed as being a touching sign of their devotion to her. If she was actually a good leader, then she would be horrified that her research team almost killed themselves over misheard orders; but Penn happily comments about how great it is that people would slit their own throats for her amusement, and Link never tries to correct him, suggesting that yeah, she actually does want her people to be willing to kill themselves at her command. Or at least Link finds that completely believable and in character for her.
And at the very least, things like that show that she's not interested in building an environment of equal communication and responsibility. Zelda is rebuilding a Hyrule where the royal family is the ultimate authority, and people should be willing to die before they even consider questioning her orders. So of course Ganondorf is pure evil and must be destroyed - he had to be asked repeatedly before he would kneel before the Hylian throne. Doesn't he know he's an outsider, and therefor inferior to the Divine Royalty? He refuses to accept that his race is inherently lesser to the Hylians, so he must be evil.
I mean, that in of itself is a pretty interesting story; the Hyrule established in TOTK is dark, and the entire culture is genuinely horrifying. This setting is extremely bleak, and I'd be interested if we could actually explore the implications of Link being expected to uphold this dystopian nightmare, and slowly turning against Zelda as he realizes how she truly sees the world.
But that's a nuanced and interesting story, so that's never going to happen; instead we just get this absolute shitshow of a plot, and like 75% of the fandom firmly ignores the racism and imperialism, because what kind of madman would actually want to be immersed in the story and worldbuilding of a role-playing game.

when are mario wednesdays coming back.. I hunger for loinx
i left my, uh, nintentdo game cube on my last computer, so i have to go dupster diving to get it back... I'd like it to be this upcoming week, but that depends how easy the save file information is to retrieve/how fast i can setup the old OBS overlay. I copied over most of my puter to an external drive so... I'm hoping mario is in there! :D?

(don’t worry for the typo haha)
Replying like this, because I can paste screenshots because I wanted to browse the Nintendo store to check some things -
Tumblr media
In the Nintendo France website, while the game can be bought with tickets, KT is the only dev, but the game is published by Nintendo.
In the JP Store, from what I could understand, KT is the only producer, and there’s no mention of Nintendo publishing it (or no mention of the publisher!)
In the US store, unless I missed something, KT isn’t named as the producer/developer of the game ?
Tumblr media
(maybe it’s something specific with the website though, it’s never mentionned, even for other games, who produced it, but only who publishes it!).
Back to “who made 3 Nopes” - Yep, in hindsight because I never check the nintendo store lol I had some doubts, but just comparing 3 Nopes’s page to Shadow Dragon :
Tumblr media
IS is named as the dev/producer. For FE16, “Nintendo” is the dev, more or less mirroring the japanese store where “nintentdo” is also the “メーカー”.
So while it’s a nice “food for thought” trivia that NoE (at least Nintendo France)’s store seems to be a mix’n’match patchwork between the JP store and the US store (will people finally realise there is no giant “western market”?) -
Regarding 3 Nopes and its international marketing/sales, I find it very interesting that KT (?) thought they needed Nintendo’s name and support, as a publisher, to sell the game.
While every FE (OG FE Warriors, SoV and even RD) is mentionned to have been published/edited by “Nintendo” (at least on the french store), what’s really interesting is how, unlike IS, KT is supposed to be, idk, an independant vg company. FE16 is a “collaboration” between IS and KT game so it’d make sense to, idk, be “supported” by Nintendo. Wiki also tells me FE16 was published, in the world, by Nintendo.
Nopes?
Is, from what we could get, a 100% KT game. If Nintendo is always publishing the previous games developed/produced by IS, why are they now publishing something that wasn’t involved at all with IS? And why only publishing Nopes for the “Western” market??
I don’t really know, but it makes the jp fandom reaction to Nopes a bit more understandable - Nopes is seen as a cash-grab in the home market or a spin-off made by KT, but to the rest of the world, it is sold as an “AU” of FE16 with very important “story’n’themes” to wank about.
Which lends more and more credence to the theory that IS, or at least the home division, is kind of fed up with Fodlan and wants to get over with it - but it is still popular overseas and so KT/IS/Nintendo/whoever is in charge will milk the game, thinking they can get a lot of dollars/euros with anything related to Fodlan.
Hopefully Nopes’s sales bombing will stop the “Fodlan” train, even if, by now I’m sure, it’ll never stop in the stations i’m the most interested in (nabatean stuff!) so I’ll just have to walk.
Wait’n’See about the next game, I heard KT is associated with the development again ?

I think disney is truly salty that nintendo wouldn't let them mess up the super mario characters
(The new moana movie would be better as a tv show as intended)
Wait, did Nintentdo ever consider Disney to make the Mario movie/did Disney ever show interest in wanting to make it or am I missing something?
But yeah, Moana going from a show to a movie in the middle of production definitely worries me. Especially on top of Disney still not having a good track record when it comes to sequels (not to mention this is the first of several sequels in a row, so it's going to be some interesting upcoming years...)
