my take on genderswap mario and luigi!

To this day I still regret I didn’t watch it with him because it doesn’t promote the worldview I thought it did and I’m pretty damn sure my ex didn’t understand it either. Knowing him I’m 100% sure he thought it was promoting the chaotic worldview Tyler goes on about when it’s actually criticizing modern macho culture and suggests that the only way for men to be happy is to accept their emotional side and live in balance and harmony with women. We’re told this at the start of the movie when the only way the narrator can sleep is when he hugs and cries with other men and again at the end when he and Marla stands hand in hand with almost identical silhouettes.

It’s like The Matrix. Stories made by queer people that straight guys then take the entirety wrong message from. I would have loved to turn to my ex when the movie was over and ask “You know it thinks macho culture is bullshit, right?”
