- IGBP is a sequel to SMG4 goes Insane.
- Western Spaghetti is a sequel to Wild Wild Mario
- WOTFI 2023 is a sequel to Casinos, Cards, and Chips
- And WOTFI 2024 is a sequel to The Mario Carnival.
By this logic, have ANY of Mr Puzzles’ shows been original?
Not a single one of his shows are an original idea.
(before I get jumped, technically A Night at SMG4’s wasn’t one of his shows. And if it was, you could argue it was a sequel to something like Freddy’s spaghettiria.)
Now, that just seems like a fun fact, not a theory. Where am I going with this?
Well,
I also saw something here on tumblr. There are a lot of parallels between 4 and Mr Puzzles. I’m not naming them all, but just know that there are enough to start considering how alike they really are.
But, what do 4 and Mr Puzzles NOT have in common?
4 has friends, obviously. And he values his friends a lot.
But, more importantly, to this theory at least, 4 has creative vision.
4 has the ability to make things.
He can make things people genuinely enjoy without copying existing things.
He makes parodies. He makes sequels. He remakes things. But he can’t make anything of his own.
That’s the difference between them.
Mr Puzzles is a stand-in for the big media companies.
4 is the talented freelancers that big companies prey off of and buy.
4 is basically just a better version of Mr Puzzles.
He has friends, an audience who loves him, and creativity.
That’s why Mr Puzzles can’t make a good show without him and his friends.
And, that’s why Mr Puzzles hates 4 so much.
Sure, he hates everyone because they keep beating him, especially Mario, but he hates 4 more than the others. (excluding Mario)
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Remember, this is all speculation!
