Super Mario Galaxy movie minor spoiler
I'm obsess with Mario and Fox first interation for 2 reasons
1. It's frame in a way the audience thinks Mario is going to jelous of Fox. A scene right before that is Luigi telling Mario he should ask Peach out. Cut to Mario seeing Peach with another guy, who is set up to be the coolest guy in a galaxy. It looks like it's going to be typical trope of a main character seeing their crush with another person and getting stupidly jelous over that. I always hated that trope. And this movie doesn't do that! Mario and Fox just look at each other and both are like "this guy is so cool", toxic masculinity found dead in a ditch
2. The way this is frame, had Peach actually had a crush on Fox, or had Fox flirt with her, Mario would not question that and neither should an audience. It is not out of the realm of possibility for a human princess and an anthropomorphic fox to have a relationship in this world, no one would judge that. And that's a world I want to live in
