Paper Mario: The Origami King contains dark and inappropriate content that feels inorganic to the series.

Well, interestingly, so I decided to start playing the Origami King. The Origami King. The new Paper Mario game. Oh, okay. All right. I am famously, on the streets, I'm known as a fan of Paper Mario. You are. I've heard it. I love The Thousand Year Door. I thought that was a great game. Sure. I enjoyed even Super Paper Mario. I believe that was the next one. Color Splash was a disaster. That game sucked. It was so bad. It made me mad. It was so bad. I was so infuriated by it. That's unfortunate. And I didn't even know there was a new Paper Mario coming out. And I was like, I gotta give it a shot. I gotta give it a try. So I started playing it. I don't want to spoil anything because it's a fairly new game and some people might want to play it. Mario's dead. It's not that. But it got pretty fucking dark in the middle. There is a part where I'm just like, I just wanted to play a cartoony game. I don't know about this. This is bumming me out. And so I had to stop playing it. I put it down. Uh-huh. And so I picked back up Hyrule Warriors. All right. The Zelda game. Uncomplicated. The Zelda game that is basically just Dynasty Warriors, but Zelda characters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. I forgot how much I love that game. That game is great. I love just running around and going through armies. Yeah. So my bright spot is rediscovering Hyrule Warriors. It is fun. In the larger sense, I think Hyrule Warriors is far darker because you're just mass murdering people left and right. Well, they're not people a lot. Exactly. I guess they're sentient beings, so that's not good. It's like Star Wars getting around killing people by killing droids, but then you find out droids actually have a certain kind of soul to them. It's weird. To me, it's not so much about the mass amount of darkness as it is the context of it. Right. The context of the darkness in the Mario game, Paper Mario, without spoilers, inappropriate. Oh, no! It was inappropriate. I'll tell you all fair what happened. It doesn't feel organic. No. Just upsetting. This is a Cersei Lannister situation? What's going on here? It's upsetting, whatever it is. Whereas in Hyrule Warriors, it's a battle. It makes sense that you're fighting, and it's not killing, it's KOs. You're just knocking people out. So it's totally fine. It's not that dark at all. And sometimes they're dinosaurs. That's fair. That's fair. Or a weird ghost. Sometimes, even. Why not? Yeah, it doesn't feel as dark.
