the picture has:

  • 1 girl
  • 2 boys
  • 4 mushroom people

if anything's too strong here, it's the mushroom power

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Believe it or not, those mushroom people? Also male. Girl mushrooms have pigtails.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

two different kinds of boys? back in my day we only had the one!

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

is that true? I have not kept up with mario since Sunshine

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Not really. Toads have been open to interpretation since the beginning, and Miyamoto had no particular intention of gender for them either.

In my headcanon, toads are agender, except for Toadette, who transitioned to female.

There's a game theory about the gender of toads. It's complicated.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I think they're referring to the trailer as a whole, which features somone named Rosalina (who looks like Peach's cousin or something, I dunno the fuckin lore of this shit) fighting Bowser Jr. Its stupid in any case, but its not about the picture.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

rosalina's cool, she's like the one mario character with any notable backstory and they had to sneak it into the game over miyamoto's objections

Love Rosalina, used to play her all the time in smash or Mario cart or one of those games

inside every g*mer there are two wolves:

  • one ignores video game tie-in movies

  • the other hates women

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why would Brie Larson be blacklisted? Did she actually do something or is this still about the weird chud obsession with hating her?

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i think she cut her hair short one time.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She criticized the fact that most film critics are middle aged white men. I think that's where most of the hate comes from. Certainly not anything blacklist worthy that I know of.

Though some of us (like I personally) think her acting is dry and boring, but I tend not to bring it up because people then think I'm just climbing on the hate train. Again not blacklist worthy though

“Actually it’s about ethics in ga-“

Actually, it’s about ethics in media critique.

They had to remove the sparkles on the letters that spell out U R MR GAY from the original game logo, because of woke doggirl-cry

[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Gurlpower" apparently just means contributing to solving a problem and not just standing around waiting to be saved.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

And the fact they get so annoyed by this just shows how this is a radical edgy idea people need to hear.

Want to constantly be told how special you are? Never get slapped by the truth? Go watch Barney.

Things are written to be so much more interesting per square second of entertainment by the way. In my opinion it's worth analysis how what I watch (which is admittedly not much) has every frame contributing to the narrative. It's seldom panning shots of the beach or people sighing with ennui unless it's right before they shake hands for a million dollar deal or something.

Therefore, if a woman's on screen I always see her doing something that illustrates the character's personality or advances the plot just like every other character or element of the scene. They'd have to go out of their way to make the woman seem dull or ordinary. She would be the only thing in the shot behaving that way. The only interesting critique I've heard of Princess Peach, for example, is that they changed her personality to be rambunctious and ready to get her hands dirty. A comparison to Princess Peach: Showtime! described her as living for the glitz and glam and being graceful as she floats around saving the day. It therefore shows in stark relief how juvenile the image of masculinity is because feminism is when woman does stuff. Why the fuck would anyone write a character without agency or personality? They just wouldn't fit. Characters are interesting in relation to the others around them and how they make use of that which they control. Peach stick out as if she was drawn in crayon on top of charcoal if she were simply locked in a jail cell alone.

Is chris pratt still mario

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

In Galaxy, she can fly, grow to the size of a planet, summon a force field, and reset the entire timeline of a universe. In Smash Bros, she can summon miniature galaxies that damage opponents, completely negate all incoming projectiles, and strike directly with magic from her wand.

Rosalina was only ever weak at the beginning of Mario Galaxy, after her power stars were stolen, but Superman has kryptonite and nobody call him weak for that

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

its kids movie, mate, grow up.

Kid: “What do you mean I’m an America-hating commie because I saw the second mario movie? Mario was coo cool! What’s a communist?”

When women have speaking roles in films it's part of the white genocide.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

Anyone who says shit like this sees themselves as Bowser and are afraid that women will fight back

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

Mfw women

😡

The name is Super MARIO brothers you fucking egomaniac.

I get it that you think having a penis makes you special, but save your smug sense of entitlement for someone else, princess. Actual adults don’t care about stroking your massive ego. Go find a self-esteem coach if you still need that massive ego to be boosted even higher.

Never lecture me on Jesus when you proudly carry the same hubris as satan.

Bowser Junior is just trying to find his dad who has been shrunk to the size of a mouse and infantalized and he gets his ass beat by a magical princess goddess.

This seems like a pretty traumatizing sequence of events, played as a joke, about the only child character we see, in a trailer for a kids movie.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Why has luigi been banished to the background?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Alright I watched it. Rosa kicking ass is a given, the only place anyone knows Rosa's power level from is Smash Bros and she will absolutely fuck you up.

Peach has been kicking ass since Mario 2, I don't see the problem.

Bowser's painting is funny af.

The asshole will cut a 25 minute opus based on a teaser, and garner enough views to generate more income than most of us made this month.
