Of course, since Axol Junior literally appeared out of thin air, Melony could not have known he was a wish from Mario, and Mario ([[IdiotHero being Mario]]) could have forgotten in the interim since he was quite insane with Fairy powers at the time.

* {{Misblamed}}: While even Mario himself admitted to ''starting'' the chain of events that led to Axol Jr.'s injury, several fans, including nearly every major Youtube reactor, pointed out that placing the ENTIRE blame on Mario was too extreme. Plus, Axol Junior himself appeared to consent to Mario's plan since Mario had promised him a portion of the turkey.
** How did Melony even KNOW to blame Mario? No one was looking when he threw Axol Junior at Bob's face. Melony was the only one in a position to have seen it but we're shown she was focused on Meggy until Bob started screaming, and at no point did Bob say what happened, assuming ''he'' even knew how an axolotl landed on his face. Furthermore, it was [=SMG3=] kicking a nerdified [=SMG4=] ''into'' Bob (who had been smashing Axol Jr into the wall and floor up to that point) that sent Axol Jr. flying into the Good Soup. This failure of explanation – we the viewers were shown everything but the characters were not – rises nearly to the level of PlotHole and results in the cast seeming to gang up on Mario for little reason.

** While it's also true that in his original debut, Melony had no idea where AxolJunior literally appeared out of thin air, Jr came from – thus Melony could not have known he was a wish from Mario, [[UnreliableNarrator tried to explain the unexplainable to Meggy et al]] – and Mario ([[IdiotHero being Mario]]) could have forgotten in the interim since he was quite insane with Fairy from fairy powers at the time.
** Although the main source of contention was how thetime and may not have even remembered he gifted her Axol Jr., it's been shown both before this episode heavily implies through flashbacks and since that Mario cares about Melony got Axol Junior from a pet store as opposed to Mario manifesting him into existence through magic, thus more than he cares about most other characters, so forcibly retconning changing past events to remove Mario's involvement, regardless if involvement rubbed some fans the characters remember it.wrong way.

* {{Misblamed}}: Just how much blame does Mario deserve for Axol Junior being injured? No one denies he ''started'' the chain of events. However…
** Axol Junior appeared to consent to helping Mario out (Mario ''did'' promise AJ some food).
** It was Bob who ran around the room smashing Axol Junior into the table, floor, and wall multiple times. Understandably, he was freaked out by an axolotl suddenly landing on his face.
** It was [=SMG3=] kicking a de-cringed [=SMG4=] ''into'' Bob that directly resulted in Axol Junior getting flung into the "Good Soup".
** Also, how did Melony ''immediately'' know to blame Mario? Even though she was in a position to have seen the whole thing, we're shown she was still talking to Meggy when Mario started the chain of events by tossing Axol Junior and did not look over until Bob started screaming.
