If we take the least generous interpretation it's a criticism of AI (Gilligan is a confirmed AI hater) or it's a very vacuous criticism against collectivism
Personally I am not a AI worshipper, the current tools are extremely powerful but also obviously very faulty and incomplete. I imagine in 5-10 years shit will be completely different and there will be a great political re-alignment.
You get a lot of very woke western AI luddites who are mostly spurned because AI is encroaching on the cottage "online creative" industry in the west, but this is completely motivated by spite and personal politics. It's basically reactionary
Many eastern leftists are ecstatic about AI for obvious reasons, and I think there's an interesting racial dynamic where the derogatory woke "trannies" are now finding themselves in a strange sanctimony where they're completely at odds with actual global developing nation non-whites.
Other than that I think the anti collectivist message is sort of a neolib boomer "last gasp" because it seems that we're having a great resurgence of actual socialism in the west (mainly the US) as the economy gets worse for the poor and the failures of capitalism/liberalism become more apparent. The president of the United States is almost a cartoonish personification of the boomer Reaganomics style "liberalism" and he is almost acting in a perfectly inciting way for a new, revolutionary political order.

I love that TZD is going worldwide. Moskovite scum needs to be hunted everywhere.

But the issue with Galaxy 2 is that the story is a major downgrade to Galaxy 1 and lacks many of the interesting power-ups from the original. It was also the beginning of the NSMB-fication of the Mario brand, as everything would get incredibly stale.
