Is Mario a Republican??? (longest forum thread ever)

BOB

Mario is a narc and Peach is a Karen, Sonic is a mascot for the people.

For all the times I’ve seen Mario move to the right, I’ve almost never seen him move to the left.

穴 the Mushroom Kingdom’s religion
the rocky connrrr picture show the castle in 64 is very ecclesiastic, with Peach’s profile in a prayer posture located prominently above the entrance. Could be a Church of England situation, Mario being her six(ty-four)th consort.

This thread has totally changed my mind about Mario RPG. I used to think Mario is a revolutionary for taking down the old money bourgeois Booster and liberating the shy guys from under the boot of capitalist exploitation. But in truth, he’s just spreading the opiate of the masses. Smithy is the true proletariat for usurping the divine right to rule,

yeso

just the existence of houses of worship in the mushroom kingdom does nothing to suggest Mario’s own beliefs. He could just be visiting. I’ve been to many religious events as a guest, doesn’t say anything about my personal affiliation

yeso sounds like someone’s doing propaganda for Big Mushroom…

Syzygy i believe it was Mario market Maker that coined the phrase jump high, sell higher

The problem is, (with exceptions) Nintendo doesn’t stand for anything, and therefore can’t have their mickey mouse like mascot stand for anything either. Mario is the type of low information voter to find out about foreign policy via a Stephen Colbert monologue. He is incredibly hard to pin down, psychologically. I do not think he would vote given the chance, and if asked for political affiliation, would not choose either left or right wing.

the rocky connrrr picture show Stuff like this gets me thinking that even if Mario is a Republican, he’d be the equivalent of I guess what people in the UK/Canada call Red Tories (there’s R.I.N.O., which if you don’t know, stands for Rip ’im A New One, but that doesn’t seem quite right).

This has maybe been mentioned before, however it’s worth repeating that in Super Mario Bros. 2 you may play every level with, not only an expanded cast of characters but as an expanded cast of characters with expanded physical abilities! You know who keeps an absolute grip on his movement physics like a fundamentalist to their bible? Who spits in the face of experimental movement-thought even when navigating a strange land? It’s Mr. Originalist himself, Mario.

captain

came upon some literature that has me thinking about this in a new way

Syzygy

captain

the gods do not have a physical presence in the Iliad

you what

captain if Mario is Achilles, Luigi is Patroclus, and Bowser is Paris, who is Hector?

Hector is Paris’s older brother, Patroclus’s killer and victim of Achilles’ wrath.

I’d argue Bowser Jr is Paris and Bowser is Hector.

Odysseus is a toad, while Ajax the great is Yoshi.

Syzygy Perhaps our scribe here mistook Wolfgang Petersen’s movie Troy for the Iliad….
