I... honestly don't see anything resembling a deconstruction here. This example is really stretching it.

And yeah, Doctor Sleep is unfortunately edit-warring.

Agreed, Bowser's not much deeper in the movie than in the games, and his motivation isn't deconstructive nor is it really contrasted with Mario's. He wants to marry a princess because he both wants more power and is comically attracted to her. And the reading on Mario sounds like it's based off Fridge Horror, not the actual games, much less the movie. (Even the games show Mario doesn't attack every single creature — see Super Mario Odyssey for example, which is full of benevolent creatures.)

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Right, that seems based on the edgy fan interpretations of Mario, and not on his actual canon portrayal.

Pairing this with the fact that the re-added trope is objectively misuse, I'll cut it and cite this ATT.
