I don't think it'll go quite that far. Mario will have to rescue Peach. They know this. If he doesn't they'll have lost all credibility forever.
However, it'll happen within the first 20 minutes, and the rest of the movie will be a lesson on gender roles and will involve Peach saving everyone - Bowser included - from something even more evil and powerful than Bowser. A Smithy-esque figure, almost certainly.
Honestly it's probably just going to be Super Mario RPG: The Movie, except ruined by feminism.
Pressing X to doubt here.
Remember, Westworld, a couple of years ago now, had Stunning and Brave Thandie Newton rescue herself because Stunning and Brave.
Also remember that to these people, credibility is what their friends in the media say it is.
Sadly I have to agree.
I get the feeling Peach will be kidnapped, but will somehow rescue herself, just like Harley in The Suicide Squad.
It's not longer possible for a man to rescue a woman in media. In fact, other than whatever recent Mario game has been released, I can't remember the last time a recent piece of big-budget media entertainment had a man rescue a damsel in distress unironically.
There's some Japanese media that does. Video games and movies. Not so much western big budget though.
You're absolutely right.
I suppose I should have clarified and said "Western media", because thankfully the Japanese, South Koreans, and even the Chinese still respect gender roles with masculine men and feminine women.
