In retrospect, we shouldn't have let that Cranky Kong retcon slide, changing him from DK’s grandfather to his dad. At the time we brushed it off, but that was the start of it all. Now we’re paying the price with the worst one yet: completely throwing Rosalina’s lore out the window just to give Peach some forced, soulless backstory.

Fuck Miyamoto for letting this happen. Rosalina’s mom was such an essential, beautiful part of her mystery and identity. Now we’re left with Illumination’s cheap Great Value Elsa-and-Anna sister relationship.

We were so young back then… man, we really were fools.

You do know the movies aren't canon, right? Bananza kept Cranky as DK's grandfather and didn't bend the knee to Illumination. The only thing Nintendo took inspiration from was DK's redesign. Everything else is still the same canon, so don't worry about it.

Cranky just fucked Jr's wife

Cranky from grandfather to father seemed like such a minor slip I didn't even think of it. At least it's based on the original relation.
Peach / Rosalina being sisters comes the fuck out of nowhere with no tie ins to any game

i read all of that in roger's voice

From a recent interview with Miyamoto:

*"When we were developing Super Mario Galaxy, the director for that game, Yoshiaki Koizumi, and I were discussing what Rosalina and Peach's actual relationship was," Miyamoto said. "We had this vague idea about what their actual relationship could be, and how it would play into the concept of space."*

*"We had a lot of discussion about this, but we never came to a conclusion. So we decided that let's take this opportunity to give this idea some meat and get into the specificity of it, and we had a lot of fun having this discussion back and forth."*

Until they outright make a statement along the lines of "the movie canon is separate from the game canon," it seems like this is what they're going forward with for the foreseeable future.

I'm surprised the father thing is what weirds you anons out and not the fact that he's a Mayan emperor

Cranky refers to dk as "son" in the games. You can argue that this doesn't actually confirm anything, sometimes older guys just refer to younger guys as son, but it's what he says

>>736272914
In retrospect, humans shouldn't have invented the wheel. Now we're paying for it: there's another Mario movie.

It must be dull being this smarmy all the time.

Are you retarded?
