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.
