Taking that much carbon out of the air would require lowering the population by 80% or more.
I'm just gonna stand over here and tug at my shirt collar in a nervous fashion.
Gasp! A pink girl and a blue boy!? SOUND THE HETEROSEXUALITY PROPAGANDA ALARM!
The bits where Lan and Megaman go to Netopia are hilarious in general because they're not afraid to show the shadier sides of the West.
The virus complains it can't subvert the cell's reproduction.
Did anyone else listen to Adventures in Odyssey as a kid? There was an episode about this exact situation with a slanderous liberal accusing a teacher of "not respecting freedom of speech" when she was trying to get inappropriate books out of the school library. And that episode aired in back in '93!
They've gone so far in being unable to tell fantasy from reality, that they can't even tell fantasy from fantasy anymore.
I love the silly "M" theory, that there's another, redhead goddess in a Betty and Veronica triangle with Link and Zelda. Marin, Malon, Midna, Mipha, etc.
Having just came from the movie, and going in with terribly low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Peach didn't do anything she doesn't do in the games, got strong armed into marrying Bowser, and even when she made a play to escape it wouldn't have worked without Mario and DK there to save everyone.
It was annoying that Luigi got shoehorned into the damsel role, but he got to shine in the end, and Peach was sweet and nice and nurturing, like she's supposed to be. Even when she tried to be badass with the infamous halberd trailer shot, she drops it immediately when Kamek threatens Toad. Because her being badass isn't as important as her protecting her people.
Bowser's been simping for Peach since Super Mario RPG, and even earlier in the expanded lore.
And, having just came from watching the movie, if she'd gone and gotten the Kongs' help on her own, she probably would have beaten DK, but then Bowser would still have beaten their army just like he did here, and she would have ended up overwhelmed when Bowser launched the Banzai Bill without Mario and DK there to make the save.
They should have just pulled a Mario 2/3D World and had Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad all go on the adventure together if they were going to have her be adventuring.
I dunno. Swapping Peach and Luigi's roles for the majority of the runtime is pretty blatant.
Trust the science, bro!
...You are the last person in the world who gets to complain about conspiracy theories.
Not a half bad game, all things considered.
Have them figure it out themselves. Have Toad be their guide. So many better ways.
People forget that Jesus hung out with sinners expressly for the purpose of convincing them to stop sinning, and went on a literal rampage in the temple due to the dirty money changing going on.
They like the idea of a heavenly father who loves them, but hate the idea that He's also expecting things of them.
I think they go into these things thinking it will make them happy. Then become even more depressed and bitter once they realize that even though they're living in a fantasy, it's not filling the void the way they thought it would.
Depends on the race.
OH THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT ON MY OL' KENTUCKY HOME!~
Shame about the Thin Mints. Oh well. There are better cookies.
The Greek gods all suck, and Athena is one of the worst.

That's not fair! You can save someone's life multiple times, but you can only kill someone once! /s
The thing is, virtue signalers don't usually care about the virtues themselves. There are always Ananias and Saphira types who seek the illusion of virtue over actually doing good.
Salesfagging is the go-to defense for people who can't argue quality.
I agree that Peach is a little bit too much, but I don't think she's quite as bad as people seem to think.
For comparison's sake, I'm going to use Rey as the archetypical Mary Sue. Rey is a scavenger on a desert planet, collecting scrap to sell for a living. We then jump to her repairing and flying spaceships better than their lifelong pilots. We start with her being a proficient staff fighter, and then jump to her being a natural with a Lightsaber AND the Force, defeating people who have been training their whole lives in the Light AND Dark sides. Han? Nothing compared to her. Luke? Nothing compared to her. Kylo? Nothing compared to her. She's given every advantage and never fails ever. Rey's power levels make no sense for what is established, and she can never be defeated by any challenge the films put forward.
Conversely, Princess Peach is shown to have been raised in the Mushroom Kingdom and been trained in all of its dangers and wonders. Thus she's shown as being a capable platformer and adventurer in her own right. She makes the plan to team up with the Kongs to fight off Bowser. And then... The plan doesn't work. Cranky turns her down flat until Mario steps up to challenge DK. And then once they have the Kongs' support, Bowser beats them all anyway. Then, when she stands to face Bowser's minions, she immediately caves when Kamek threatens Toad, another loss. And then, after that, when she makes her bid for freedom, she loses against King Bob-Omb. It takes Mario and DK to save everyone and repel Bowser's nuclear option. Peach's power levels are consistent with what is established, and she's unable to clear multiple challenges without explicit help from other characters, most often our hero, Mario.
And that's not getting into Peach's generally supportive and encouraging attitude, compared to Rey's "Stop holding my hand!" bitching.
