I like how the Mario thread is completely out of control with shipping and the RE8 lady threads are like "wait guys like tall girls, how strange and fetish" lmao

What do you expect, the whole story is that a single dude keeps kidnapping a girl to marry her and it's clearly not about making heirs to thrones since he already has a kid. RE's central story is some bullshit about viruses and world domination, not about how much a giant turtle wants a human girl to love him.

It's wide and well known that Mario and Bowser are an intimate item. Damn Nintendo!

On a more basic level, I was thinking tall hot lady with big boobs shouldve been less puzzling.

the classic Mario, Peach, and Bowser love triangle might be growing stale and doesn't have much else to go so...
Never see it as a love triangle. But Odyssey chose this path and it is really not a good look for Mario...
Mario is clearly Bowser's BAE. He's just using Peach as a vehicle to achieve this. He acts like a young child who picks on their crush. He wants Mario to "Chase after him", and be the focus of all of his attention.
Yep, that's pretty clear, even if it is not intended.

Believe it or not, but there are still a majority of men that couldn't be with a woman taller than them.

Manual of first Super Mario Bros. states that Peach was kidnapped because she's the only one who can undo "black magic" of the Koopa. Also all those blocks and bricks Mario hits and breaks in Super Mario Bros. are actually transformed Toads and Goombas are Toads who chose to betray their kingdom. Super Mario Bros. had the deepest lore.

They even gave Boom Boom a girlfriend who's also a ninja.

Why shouldn't Bowser have one? Would be a good development for him to realize Peach doesn't want him and finally broaden his horizons. Plus you could have double boss fights against Bowser AND his partner.
I never considered them a pairing, but work partners. That said, I really like her inclusion. Feels like a better "female koopaling" design than Wendy for me and I hope we'll see her in more party/sports games in the future to add more female representation.
And bring Dixie back while you're at it, Nintendo :c

I can't stand the use of the word "bae".

Just wanted to get that out of my chest.

Carry on.

I long for the day the dynamic duo will finally partner up to unveil the most devilish of plans (of course it'll be young Cranky and not DK) in a 3D Mario game, like I loved the New Donk City portion of Odyssey but I really wanted DK to show up in 3D and actively taking part in the story.
I too would love this.

But I can't see current Nintendo allowing modern-day DK to be portrayed as an antagonist in the mainline series. Mario VS DK is probably the closest we'll ever get to that.

Let's be real that's not why this happens.
