The new Mario Bros movie has been a success in movie theaters; However, it has also been surrounded by the odd controversy, and now it is Princess Peach who is being criticized for being too feminist.
Who is princess peach?
Princess Peach was one of the characters that suffered the most changes in the new Mario Bros movie, and it is that while in the video games she is shown as a defenseless woman, who always needs help, in the movie she is very different.
Princess Peach has a much more important role in the plot of the movie than in the video games, she is much stronger and more courageous.
The film’s directors, Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, explained to Total Film magazine why:
“As for Peach, she is the monarch who leads this kingdom of adorable and hapless Toads. We were thinking how strong that person would have to be to protect those people. All of that informed the idea of Peach’s character in our film.”
They ask to cancel Princess Peach for being “very feminist”
Unfortunately, not everyone is happy that Princess Peach is a strong and independent woman in the film, and it is precisely a woman who has criticized it.
This is the American commentator, Anna Perez, who has requested that Princess Peach be canceled for being “very feminist.”
“Young women see things like this and it just brainwashes them into being feminists.”
He also assured that Peach’s behavior can lead women to behave like men:
“We have women who go around thinking they are men and end up getting hurt, raped.”
In addition, he also stated that “women are not as strong as men” and that the culture of “rude bitches” is ruining society because “no one knows where they stand” these days. He finally concluded with the following message: “Please make her a defenseless princess again”.
