Mario is such a boring fucking character honestly. What's his personality again? Yelling "Wahoo" and jumping around? Why does anyone care about this boring fuck again? He's been doing the exact same shit for 40 years. Why doesn't he ever question this endless cycle or try to find a permanent solution? Why doesn't he just kill Bowser already? Bowser keeps coming back to terrorize people over and over again. Any sane person would've just ended this shit decades ago, but Mario doesn't. It's like he WANTS this to keep happening so he has an excuse to go on adventures. Boring piece of shit. Nintendo needs to give Mario some actual character development. Give him some internal conflict, character flaws, have him struggle with the moral implications of his actions. Show us what he's thinking. Mario as a character has been boring and stagnant for decades and it's honestly embarrassing how Mario fans will defend this.
