How the gently caress does Sylvester know where to get giant cages, but Wile E Coyote - who has ordered the entire ACME catalog twice for the purpose of catching a roadrunner - doesn't?

He does, but then you also saw his rate of success with ACME products. Who the gently caress in their right mind would order ACME cages on a critical mission?

Several of those failed products were clearly marked as being ineffective when used on Roadrunners. Never saw a warning label about trolls. :colbert:

Mario betrayed the Troll Slaiyers back in one of the early chapters, there was even a fight scene involving him and Shadow's crew. He has shown himself to be quite the sociopath, seeing others as little more than expendable tools to be used to further his own personal goals. The only person he cared about was Luigi, and now Luigi's dead.

It's not really fair to call him a bad guy. Shadow himself is sort of a sociopath--Mario even pointed out that Shadow had no problem killing Daffy and Bugs to get what he wanted.

Tails Got Trolled is too complex and nuanced for that kind of black-and-white thinking. Everyone has their own goals and motives, and the push up against one another, but that's really about it.

That's it. Is anyone up for writing a recap? Where everyone is, which camp they're in, and so forth? This thing is getting a little complicated.

On the other hand, re-reading TGT in its entirety seems like a great lazy Saturday activity. Or a good way to spiral into madness.

I could do that later, because I have a strangely easy time following this whole bizarre story. But I'm sort of in line for the Adventure Time panel at SDCC right now, so someone can prooooobably beat me to the punch.

I'm crazy enough to attempt it. Maybe later tonight.

Mario seems to care a great deal about keeping the yet-unseen (but mentioned) Peach out of this conflict, leading me to believe he is in this to do what's best for the Mushroom Kingdom. He's their champion, after all.

I would submit that Mario is more of a 'bad guy' than Shadow, though of course I agree that it would be wrong to summarize our generation's War And Peace in these simplistic terms to begin with. Not only does his plan indirectly lead to the death of Sonic, which may indeed not be much different from Shadow's callous disregard for the lives of Daffy and Bugs, but he also provokes a showdown with his erstwhile allies despite the fact that there is no real reason to do so. He could have just left. Remember at the beginning of Chapter 5:



I think while Shadow can still reasonably be described as a gritty, dark anti-hero doing what's necessary for the greater good, Mario crosses over into being evil for evil's sake, perhaps due to his abusive childhood. He opposes the main antagonists out of a desire for revenge, but I wouldn't say the audience was meant to sympathize with him.

That said, precious few characters allow lofty ideals to get in the way of their goals and/or their thirst for vengeance. Even Sonic literally backstabbed Eggman after he got what he wanted from him.
