I feel like sometimes gamers tend to gatekeep a bit too much. Like when Chris Pratt admitted he never really played modern Mario or anything, but he did play the original arcade game, and he said "I remember stompin' Koopas at the laundromat." And people tried to "Well ackshually they were Shellcreepers." It's like... Dude, he already admitted to only BARELY playing Mario, and you're still trying to gatekeep him because he didn't know the things that looked like Koopas weren't actually Koopas?

Pick your battles better.

I mean you're always going to find somebody like that on the internet, It's a massive place. But there's a big difference between that and showrunners having contempt for the source material, actively breaking lore right and left, etc.

Also Mario, really? It's not even a heavily narrative driven game. The protagonist doesn't even speak, playing the games would not have even done Chris Pratt any good. There's no lore or really any backstory to learn. Dude just had to enthusiastically yell wahoo!
