Tale Of Two Easily Dupped Fathers
So let’s see. The episode starts with the Four walking into… Every conflict from 1989 to present day! That’s a ton of death, destruction and misery to be before!
Note. The is the first time you ever hear Bowser mention Wart Jr.’s minions by designation. Beezos, Albatoss mainly. Other than Mouser and Hydclyde he never really said any of their names.
Bowser, because it’s not hard to dupe people filled with hate, tricked the warring families of this Shakespearean adapt into buying Wart Jr minions and weapons. All to kill each other.
So they are basically burning down their own town because easily duped by Koopa. Ohkay… In the underground waterways aka the sewers they meet the lovers of this story. Romero & Joliet.
No. Romero isn’t the one who made DOOM and Daikatana. Nor is he the Living Dead Romero. He’s just Romero. And his love is… Sending mixed signals. Why? Her face… Wait. Is this meaning a famous actress is voicing her?
Also why is it Joliet is rather well endowed for a female character in this cartoon? That’s also a first for this cartoon I think. Sigh. Anyway Princess Toadstool stops the fighting and orders peace.
Upset that his plans to steal from the warring families by selling them troops and arms might fall apart… Huh? A really your plan is done. You sold them all they’ll buy. Why keep going?!?
Anyway he kidnaps Joliet. Since the fathers of the couple are on hair triggers in terms of not killing each other? They go back to trying to kill each other. Romero help the Four escape.
Yeah. Now suddenly the pair stop listening to Peach. Why? So they go to Bowser’s castle to save Joliet. Which involves finding out her wedding bouquet is Fire Flowers. Instant upgrade… For Mario.
Really? There’s enough flowers for everyone to upgrade. Anyway suddenly the gang assembles a makeshift kart to escape on. I’m before Super Mario Kart 1993. Anyway the wedding happens. Yay.
The episode ends with the fathers still hating each otner, now reduced to trying to hit each other’s with pixza. What a waste of the wedding catering. The end.
So let’s aim up. Another Mario Kart reference years before Mario Kart. Boeser says Beezos by name. A lady shows up with pronounced breasts. And that’s all the noteworthy things.
Ok? Ok! Tomorrow the episode angers me by going to Hawaii… Maybe… To consult a God of Fire. Uh… Ok maybe it’s just Tonga or Guam or something. We have a Goddess of Fire. Not a God.
I sense bad Polynesian stereotypes not seen since Gamera The Early Years are on their way. Ugh. Seriously?!? Why. Sigh. Tomorrow. See you then.
