Something I saw on another video as fanon which I love. "Not confirmed, but I'm pretty sure everytime Count Bleck speaks, he is actually reading his own lines in the Dark Prognosticus. It explains why he refers to himself in the third person and also explains the random "asked/says Count Bleck" at the end of some of his dialogues. He detached himself from the world that betrayed him so much he doesn't even speak his own thoughts."

Makes a ton of sense. Around the end of chapter 6, we finally start to see the cracks form as he realizes Timpani may still be alive. Only after his defeat and removal by Dimentio, is his true self able to return.

And after you defeat him, he goes back to referring to himself as ‘I,’ meaning he has returned to his true identity.

For a Mario game I’m surprised how wild the writers went with it. They used the Mario world as a backdrop to tell their own story, rather than telling a story within the Mario world. But I think that’s why I love it. Really such a bizarre game

It’s also a major reason why this underrated gem has garnered more of a fan following in recent years.

@coltonk.30863 ай бұрын
@breadandcircuses8127 Absolutely! Giving him his typical traits along with fleshing him out even more, i.e. being easily manipulatable, like with the Goombas buttering him up, made him by far the most interesting and thoroughly deep Luigi I've ever seen!

Count Bleck/Blumiere might as well be a cinematic villain, for his actually tragic backstory, and his hopeless-driven rage against the world (even knowing it is wrong, but too driven to turn back). Dimentio, while not as well written, is also amazing for his brilliant scheming, only to be destroyed by free will (or as Bowser says, the belief in "mopping the floor" with Dimentio).

the thing with stuff in the vid, while great; The Light Prognosticus actually isn't Prophetic, the Purity heart was the ancients making a way to *possibly* stop the end of all existence, which of course worked as seen in the game, the Dark Prognosticus was the only book that was Prophetic, which is quite an unnerving thought

@@JasonDS64 Honestly, I liked SPM's gameplay more than Sticker Star's. Not to be a broken record, but I really just think turn-based combat is busted as hell without XP or something similar. I prefer Paper Mario being a traditional turn-based RPG, but I'm okay with them moving away from that in favor of being an "action-adventure." But if they want to ditch XP, they also need to ditch turn-based combat.

9:42 This is why I love bleck. He has no justification for destroying all worlds, using a child to aid his plan and betraying his closest allies. He just does it. He knows what he's doing, even after Tippi returns he still fight until of course someone else takes control at which point he instantly swaps sides. I like this though because it portrays a realistic character. Ive met people only interested in personal gain and themselves way to many times and bleck is the perfect representation of it. He killer everyone in his tribe for literally no reason. For all he could've know Timpanni could've just been exploring the world waiting for Blumiere to find and fix her. But either way no justification. You can argue just barely it's fair to kill his father but everyone else? Perhaps he was abused as a child and all that but either way everyone and everything destroyed for no reason? Totally reluctant to change because like most narcissists, he can't accept being wrong.
@bestevil.3 ай бұрын
@breadandcircuses8127 it's just a shame his redemption is such a letdown. So is demnentio. Like yeah I love the guy but he hits evil too on the nose. Especially with such a realistic character right next to him
@aaronTGP_37562 ай бұрын
Arguably, his evil appears to be because he let himself be controlled by the Dark Prognosticus. One person used that as an explanation for his third person talk; he's reciting it. It would also better explain his stark contrast between his villainous persona and the broken, shattered Blumiere buried within. Only after his defeat, is he able to snap out of it. But I love Dimentio for being the more raw, but incredibly clever form of evil, in contrast with Blumiere. By no means perfect or realistic, but I enjoyed both villains. The others in the group are excellent too (including Mr. L).
@inkstar7521Ай бұрын
I see your point, but I think it’s kind of implied Bleck had gone insane by the time he started killing people. (Notice how he only starts speaking strangely and doing his “BLEH HEHE HEHE! BLECK!” after he confronts his father.) This does not excuse his actions but people can do very very horrible things while under mind breaking emotions, such as rage and grief. No matter the consequences that may follow. Also Mimi is in no way a child. Her true form is a giant spider creature with mechanical insides. She’s also a shapeshifter so the way we see her is probably just her preferred form.

This was the first paper Mario game I ever played and I remember how much I enjoyed this game without thinking much about the story back then at all, now I am not a child anymore and I just finished replaying this game. This time the story really resonated with me and the game still sticks in my head. The story is just so very emotional and you really feel for the characters especially tippi and count bleck. I really like how Mario and co are just tools in this game, plot devices used to deliver the dramatic tragedy with a beautiful ending of Lady timpani and count bleck

A stupid survey where over 90% of players said they didn't care for the story. Probably a bunch of normies who either never played the game, but did the poll for the kicks, or got it merely because it was a Super Mario game on the Wii (after all, both Galaxy and NSMB Wii didn't come out yet). They let others' opinions control their art.

Now imagine if they didn't stray from the gameplay formula used in TTYD and OG Paper Mario. this would likely be the best paper mario game if that were the case, though I can also see it as second as people hold TTYD high.

I had seen a reworked version pitched in a video by "The Red Guy". He called it Paper Mario & The Dark Prognosticus. Basically if it was a TTYD successor, plus new elements like choosing between a hero (the 4) and a partner, as well as playable interchapter segments by different characters.
