>>it's a prequel

Wow it's almost like I (yes, me, specifically I am that petty) was right weeks ago when I said "shut the fuck up /smbg/ its a fucking prequel, why can't you guys just trust Nintendo to explain it?" but I guess people are boring as fuck and want everything be multiple timelines or faggot alternative universe multiverse dogshit nonsense.

Yeah guys I'm so sure that Pauline was not only "de-aged", she was ALSO trapped in a rock and THEN given amnesia so she doesn't remember ALREADY being the singing diva she so desperately wants to become via her wish. As if that doesn't kill the entire premise of her journey and apparent character arc. And the proof of this is.... New Donk City is referenced on a box and already exists. For fuck's sake man. Nobody said Pauline founded New Donk so New Donk already existing doesn't contradict the prequel theory.

>but its time travel!
>multiverses!
>its present time but pauline specifically was plucked from her time!
>its present day but she was not only turned into a rock but also a child!
Why can't the general just accept that it is an origin story and trust Nintendo that they will explain it?
