I still remember the cutscene when Peach was told she was his mother in Sunshine. Just the way she responded back, "I'm...your momma?" It sounded so slow and ditzy that it actually sounded as if she was considering it a possibility that she had a child with Bowser and JUST DIDN'T KNOW.
This is the video game version of: "How do you like my new girlfriend, son?" "I don't have an opinion of her, Dad. Everytime she's here you send me outside to play or give me $20 to go to the movies"
Honestly the dynamic of Bowser and Jr. was kinda wholesome in the game. Bowser even in later games, is a good father figure, and it's beautiful I'm not gonna lie. I mean have you SEEN the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls ad?!
