Thank you! I remember this short, but for some reason I thought it was part of Fantasia 2000, lol

Yes and no. He always kidnapped her, but because she's the princess. The crush thing came later, and I don't even like that trope, but in movie 1, that's his primary motive. He explicitly tells Peach he only took over places to prove his love for her. I'm sorry, that's not Bowser to me.

I don't even think he was evil last time, just an incel, which to me is so wrong to make as his motivation as a villain. To me, these movies fundamentally misunderstand these characters and why they became so iconic.

Bowser's supposed to be a fun-loving troublemaker who loves invading the Mushroom Kingdom. You know, evil? Can he not be that anymore? "The old Bowser," oh please, actual old Bowser would eat this jerkwad for breakfast. Furry Bowser art in your movie does not make up for that. Screw these movies.

Thanks! 😊

That is a godly perfect body right there

The first 🥵

Poor Asterius is treated like a monster from the start, which is so unfair. I always want a story where he gets a happy ending.

I hate this trend too, especially when the game gets worse after the credits. I nominate Dragon Quest XI, when everything that I loved about the story is torpedoed post-game. Think FF6, only they stop Kefka from ruining the world. Yeah, that sucks.

This is an amazing scenario, wonderfully realized! 🥵

Is that King Koopa? I like to imagine that. This is hot either way, woof!

Best werewolves in cinema history. Uncontested.

Sports anime in general was my jam as a kid, specifically Moero Top Striker/L'École des Champions. That made soccer look very cool. Add animal people, and my money is yours!
