My Request for TheMysteriousMrEnter

This is my request to Mr. Enter. After he announced on Tumbler then DeviantArt that he would like to branch out into new territory, I set out to find the worst episode of Super Mario Bros. Super Show and I quickly found it. I remember not liking this one even when I honestly liked bad cartoons (back then, I didn't think the ending was as bad as it truly is). If he chooses to pick a different episode, I won't be offended. I apologize if I was too harsh or mellow with this episode, and I also apologize for the image from the episode does not fit the box that was made for the image. I was too lazy to fix it. The image is slightly zoomed in and a bit pixelated, because I didn't think I could screenshot the DVD function on my computer (I didn't bother to try it, though), so I had to screen shot an image on YouTube.

Here is the Full Unabridged Version of the "Notes" section

Queen Rotunda has a witch to create a love potion, so the prince will fall in love with her, but she accidentally drinks it, falling in love with Mario, and the cliché ensues. Rather than creating an antidote for the love potion, Luigi, Peach, and Toad create ANOTHER love potion. In the end, Mario gets Queen Rotunda and the Prince who we barely know to drink the love potion and fall in love with each other. This scene alone was responsible for “unnecessary cruelty,” “unfortunate implications,” and “character derailment.” Queen Rotunda was depicted as abusive when she fell in love with Mario. Just because the Prince is going to be happy to marry her doesn’t mean he’s not going to be abused. This is evil brainwashing, which tarnishes the character of not only Mario but also Luigi, Princess, and Toad. They never even think twice about this. The writers portray this as a perfect ending, only for them to ruin it with the witch responsible for the love potion to fall in love with Luigi. The cartoon says that brainwashing is A-Okay, as long as the brainwashed beings remain happy. What a load!!
