Why are Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario fans constantly at each other's throats nowadays...

Why are Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario fans constantly at each other's throats nowadays? I remember back then when both series were well liked and there was no tribalism. What happened?

Nintendo stopped making Paper Mario games and alphadream was kill

Because before 2023 the only Mario (actual) RPGs we were getting were the Rabbids crossovers (even if both of those games are great)

Nintendo actively instigates conflict with how they market their games. They don't care if a civil war breaks out as long as your buy their games.

Paper Mario fans blamed Mario & Luigi due to an employee making a comment about how you should play that if you want an RPG
Mario & Luigi fans mostly like both
It’s just a vocal minority anyway

Fake outrage

Why are Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario fans constantly at each other's throats nowadays?

your imaginary fights doesnt count as "nowdays" anon

Anon what the fuck is wrong with you

Shitposters aren't fans of anything.

TTYD fags hate everything that isn't TTYD

This is true, the IGN reviewer that gave it a 5 was a TTYD fag

64 was better anyway

Because one of these series is very clearly superior to the other

Same reason Xenoblade x and 3 fags hate everyone else. Because the popular and more successful things touched their pee pee's.

Best post.

Put both series down forever
Make a real sequel to Mario RPG

One of them doesn't have a trans character

It's all TOKtrannies trying to divide and conquer.

This is it.

That's retarded, TTYDfags defend all the good M&L games, especially SS.

Mario and Luigi beta cucks are insecure over Paper Mario for whatever reason.

This

The only Mario fans that are ever mad at anything are Mario Mandate niggers.

anti-gamecube schizos

Nintendo defenders HATE the Gamecube so bad

Sticker Star gameplay was a nightmare. Super Paper Mario gameplay was a nightmare too, but everything else worked. even the weirdest swings were genius at best, hilarious at worst.

Sticker Star didn't have "anything else". the reason according to several interviews was Mario & Luigi: devs were forced to take out RPG elements and world building because there could be only one Mario RPG. in a way, Mario & Luigi ruined Paper Mario.

anyway, TTYD fags are cringe and Color Splash and Origami King are great.

uncanny valley. they're both smrpg sequels with one and a half good games each. paper fags are always disappointed that m&l is a little different and vice versa.

Color Splash and Origami King are great

Kill yourself, Stickerfag

Sticker Star was better than Paper Jam though

this place is incapable of civil discussion because all they know is tribalistic shitflinging

idk about that. i've replayed Paper Jam and had a good time (good, not great). i don't think i could ever replay Sticker Star

Unironically, blame Arlo.

That used to be the case for most TTYDfags, but more and more of them have gone completely insane and have started to see TTYD is a paragon of perfection.
They'll pay the occasional lip service to PM64, SS, and LotSS, but they probably haven't played any of them in decades. Some TTYDfags haven't played anything besides PM64, TTYD, and maybe Super, but they'll still act like authorities on all Mario RPGs anyway.
The really funny thing is watching TTYDfags like Arlo get all hyped for the remake, only to play it and realize it's not as good as their autistically high standards, get bored of it, and promptly memory hole it.

started to see TTYD is a paragon of perfection

It's a one time wonder, yes. Not perfect, in fact it has more flaws than 64, but it also has a lot more highs than 64. Both deserve similar respect no matter which you prefer I think.

How is that bad? People have favorites. You need to be really motivated to replay a game.

Arlo is retarded and thought you could fix TOK just by adding a good combat system. I'm sure he didn't notice all the flaws with the TTYD remake.

Arlo is a nostalgia fag that has the most boring commonplace opinions. he is just good at articulating them. his favorite Zelda is TP, the most safe and stale opinion imaginable. who cares what he thinks about anything

Arlo is the only reason why TOK didn't double down on the SS shit we got in CS
The only people who went insane are the anti-TTYD retards who started worshipping 64 after the TOK reveal for some reason

Honestly I feel like all of the in-fandom bickering stemmed from people pretending to defend the nu-Paper Mario games (especially around Color Splash's release) since they hated all of the TTYD praise, alongside that Risa Tabata interview where she recommended to try the M&L series during that one Color Splash interview. This led to more and more shitposting where people just fight over not just each sub-series but each entry out of the entire Mario RPG genre. So many threads and outside groups now have PM vs. M&L, PM64 vs.TTYD, Super vs. the rest of the series, Mario RPG vs. Paper Mario, etc. Not to say there weren't ever people who defended their preferred series but it was never this extreme for years. It's really corny, at the very least all old Mario RPGs and the M&L series should be considered respectable games to each other with no screeching.

A lot of gamecubefags are like this.

Yes

Case in point: >You criticize modern Nintendo? YOU MUST BE A GAMECUBE ENJOYER!

TTYD fag trying to latch onto 64 for cover

I love TTYD. 64 is also great, even if I don't hold it as dear in my heart as TTYD. Both utterly shit on the Sticker Star trilogy. Hell, even SPM is better.

i skipped Color Splash on its time because everyone said it was Sticker part 2. i got a used copy few months ago. is the game i enjoyed the most this year by far.

that CS is bad is an opinion that stuck (... hehe) and people parroting it are as annoying as blind apologist.

CS is good. TOK is good

Nah, it's shit. They never fixed the writing. The gameplay is barebones. All these games have is decent visuals (with an annoying style, but decent visuals nonetheless) and big levels. Everything else ranges from trash to okay at best.

You fell for shitposts.

that one interview during the E3 that they showed off color splash with a dumb bitch who worked at Nintendo who said "well paper mario doesn't need to be an RPG because the Mario & Luigi series exists"

and there's only been two good games in both series anyway so it's not like it really matters

Literally what the fuck is the webm supposed to prove?

Nutendo lost its soul.

Embarassing, you are a grown ass man crying that his children's party game doesn't have enough glitter and sparkle.

That's exactly my point, yes. I think I'm right.

Why do people talk like this on the fucking video game board? Stop acting like some facebook normalfag.

It's over, the soul is truly gone...

Why are Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario fans constantly at each other's throats nowadays?

Are they, though?

TOKfags pretending to be either TTYDfag/64fags are the ones doing all the shitflinging

the most vocal faggots are TTYDfags who attack every mario game with RPG mechanics
they like to pretend its a secret cabal of super/sticker star/the origami king fans doing it

The Sticker Star trilogy will never be good.
M&L is mostly good and SPM is decent.

okay? still doesn't disprove the fact is TTYDfags throwing shit all the time, the retarded muppet was the worst thing to happen to the gamecube

we need to talk about the retarded Ecelebs

someone asks why it seems like M&L and paper fans seem to fight

state fact that its mostly retarded cube fanboys

chimp out and cry when the puppet is pointed at for being the most glaring example

someone asks why it seems like M&L and paper fans seem to fight

schizophrenic bullshit about a muppet

ttyd demake faired compretery
brothership is certified mandatesrop
the mandate wirr rive forevah
forever cope and seethe
praise miyamoto-dono

each other's

its always paper mario fans shitting on mario and luigi

You forgot

no cool space costumes, everyone just wearing their regular Mario™ clothes.

It's not exactly surprising people hate Paper Mario fans considering Mario and Luigi had steadily declining sales until the death of the developer and seemingly the series while Paper Mario fans were constantly being melodramatic retards bemoaning the death of Mario RPGs because Nintendo didn't want to make a carbon copy of TTYD every year for them. When you have a fuckwit like Arlo as the face of your fandom, it's no wonder everyone hates you.

origami king has the best soundtrack out of all the mario rpgs

The retard pretended the only issue with the remake was the framerate
