Others might’ve already said ỉn but I think the choice to have Donkey Kong as Mario’s rival turned friend against Bowser really works for what is the first movie, when you look at the history of the franchise.
Because DK started as Mario’s first enemy, the big villain he had to save his girl from. But that has since been eclipsed by his status as a friend to Mario, and the cultural zeitgeist around the two emphasizes that. Most might not even know DK was ever an enemy to Mario, especially not his first that started it all!
But Bowser and Mario, that’s the real conflict we’re here to see. You can’t have Mario not fight Bowser. We make Mario and Bowser go-karting memes because of the base understanding that they’re primarily enemies. So in your first Mario movie where it has a little bit of everything to appeal to casual audiences, you want Bowser as the big bad. But DK is the first, right? Are you really gonna just skip over such a historic title?
So you introduce Bowser as the villain, and on his way to Bowser you have Mario meet DK as a rival. But not a villainous one, so while they fight they eventually make up together. This way Mario technically fights DK before Bowser, while also preserving the new status quo of DK as Mario’s friend. And then they fight Bowser together, perfect.
Makes me wonder if they’ll get similarly meta with how Yoshi is introduced and written in the sequel, esp considering the back and forth chronology introduced with the Island series. DK still got elements from his series here, Yoshi is likely due for the same. The first film already used the Baby designs introduced in Yoshi’s Island.

Anonymous asked:
Do you think Bowser deserves to be redeemed in the sequel? I personally don’t think he deserves it at all. The guy attempted mass genocide. There ain’t no going back from that yet I’ve seen fans who genuinely believe that Mario and friends would just instantly forgive Bowser despite everything he’s done. Not to mention how extremely out of character it would be for Bowser to have a change of heart especially the movie version of him who is literally pure evil.
Mario and his friends are pretty forgiving, but you're right. In the movie verse, to instantly forgive Bowser after everything he did would be nothing short of ridiculous.
I don't see Movie Bowser changing anytime soon. He's dedicated too much time and resources to threatening and destroying the lives of everyone around him, and I for one don't mind if he stays just as he is. I love me a straightforward, unambiguous villain who is evil through and through and isn't shy about it.
However, I do know one character that, if introduced, would complicate Bowser and his relationship with the main cast, and that's this guy right here:
Though it's unconfirmed whether Bowser Junior is part of the movie universe, we know Bowser in the games... while not a perfect dad... is definitely a kind and loving father.
I can see Movie Bowser having a soft spot for his kid while still being steadfast in his plans to conquer the world and crush anyone who gets in his way. He's a terrible influence who keeps his distance due to the dangers of the battlefield, but he would gladly fight anyone to the death if it would guarantee Junior a bright future. If Junior got involved in the feud– probably due to his father's imprisonment in The Mushroom Kingdom –it would definitely make things a bit more emotionally conflicting for the protagonists. Ridding the world of a threatening tyrant is one thing, robbing a young kid of a dad who loves him is another, but you can't lose sight of the fact that the entire world is at stake.
On the flip side, I can see Bowser Jr. being the one avenue by which Bowser finds himself willing to extend some form of mercy. If Mario and Luigi put themselves on the line to ensure Junior doesn't get hurt, or Junior gets emotionally attached to one of the Mario Bros, I can see Bowser having a very very very slight change of heart.
Not a complete character turnaround, but a willingness to step back and say "forget it. I'll kill you another day."
Good take!
Bowser's level of evil varies greatly even in the games, ranging from the Doofenshmirtz level to whatever you call his level of evil in Super Mario Galaxy (ambitious plans aside, even that intro cutscene showing his attack on the MK already looks like he's not messing around). And his movie version is at least as evil as his highest level of evil in the games, if not more.
So, I don't think it would be a good move to make him suddenly change in the sequel. At the most, if there's an even bigger threat than him he might have to reluctantly, temporarily team up with the heroes, but I doubt something like that would happen in the first sequel.
Bowser Jr., however, is a character that I consider very likely to appear in the next movie. It would make a lot of sense since Bowser is imprisoned right now. I also agree that his appearance would probably complicate the main cast's relationship with Bowser in a potentially interesting way.
