Very weird.<br /><br />As for the Spinies, even the freaking Super Mario Bros. Super Show <a href="https://youtu.be/QTziwD3qyLw?t=285" rel="nofollow">portrays this exchange with King Koopa and Lakitu:</a><br /><br />King Koopa: Nice work, Lakitu! Now I know why you're the boss of the clouds!<br />Lakitu: Thank you your Koopaness.<br />King Koopa: And those Pasta Landers are gonna find out I'm the boss of everything! Serve them the Spiny Eggs!<br /><br />So even in that portrayal of SMB and SMB2 featuring Brooklyn (which the SMB Movie acknowledges is a major inspiration, given that SMB Plumbing commercial), Lord Bowser is being a noble leader and complimenting his subordinate Lakitu while being fully aware of what Spinies are.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-87970101557331015192023-03-13T08:56:52.734-04:002023-03-13T08:56:52.734-04:00I thought the boots thing was weird too, but I put...I thought the boots thing was weird too, but I put it more down to the Japanese being Japanese in some way I'm not fully educated on. Having us be literal bootlickers, as SG pointed out, is a legitimately creepy thought to me though. <br /><br />The thing with the Spinies I put down to it being down to the movie being a depiction of Bowser's earliest known years of conquest--it's my understanding of the games at least that he wasn't always the noble leader to his men that he is now, and in fairness, has been for longer than he *perhaps* wasn't at this point?Lheticus Viderehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252286308352529321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-57843961745512649642023-03-11T22:27:46.146-05:002023-03-11T22:27:46.146-05:00Yes, or at least literal bootsniffers? https://twi...Yes, or at least literal bootsniffers? https://twitter.com/Star_Wyse/status/1634214157712080903Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-73268336624178212142023-03-11T20:45:04.480-05:002023-03-11T20:45:04.480-05:00Shigeru Miyamoto wants Mario fans to be literal bo...Shigeru Miyamoto wants Mario fans to be literal bootlickers?ShinyGirafarighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785034081374840420noreply@blogger.com
