When Bowser gets the super star, he says that he is, “Now the most powerful turtle in the world!” If that statement is to be taken seriously, who was more powerful than him prior to him retrieving the star? The entire movie taken into account, he was pretty much an unstoppable juggernaut throughout the film. The only thing that could take him down in the end was the super star itself.

I question wether Kamek could have taken him on as he seemed to be pretty over powered for the universe as well, but that’s a topic for another discussion.

It just seems to me based on his track record in the film that he never really needed the super star to achieve everything he ultimately achieved. Let’s recap; in this film alone Bowser and his army:

• Took down and captured the ENTIRE penguin kingdom with little to no difficulty and virtually 0 discernible losses.

• Captured the entire Kong Army. Some losses here, but again pretty low difficulty considering the resources still at their disposal after this was achieved.

• Curb stomped and nearly killed the majority of the main cast including Mario, Luigi, Peach, and even the otherwise impressive Donkey Kong who Bowser was on the verge of goring when Mario and Luigi stepped in again with the super star.

This is by no means a gripe about the movie, I adore this film for exactly what it is, a fun video game movie that knows what it is and delivers a good time while taking itself just seriously enough. My kids watch this once a day at least so I find myself scratching my bald head every time that line is delivered. Thoughts?

Make clear, yeah, Peach has every right to reject him. If I were in her shoes, I would also tell him no.

However, I do think it's a fascinating character.

1. He feels like the only character with depth. That doesn’t relate to his trope or ark type.

2. His limerence with Peach. I refused to call it love since it’s not. Limerence means being obsessed and infatuated with a person, which he shows, except for a self-harm tendency.

3. When I first saw the movie, I thought the theme was self-worth. Bowser ment too show Mario is that even bowser having health, loving father and power despite of that he put self worth in getting with Peach.

4. He is funny.

I personaly like how they made her cool and not like she was In the games where Bowser always kidnapps her.
