open to suggestions btw, what is the best "control group" series to use as something to contrast against how ambiguous the classification of super mario games is? I'm specifically looking for something that has as many of these properties as possible:
it's "the mainline series" of a media franchise where not all media in that franchise is part of that series
both the series and the larger franchise it's part of are very well known
the mainline series is long-running
there are at least twice as many non-mainline works in the franchise as there are entries in the mainline series
the non-mainline works include things that are very similar to mainline installments in several ways
(crucially) it is not ambiguous or controversial what works the mainline series consists of. every notable up-to-date source that lists the installments in the series (while distinguishing the series from the larger franchise the series is part of) includes the same exact things on the list

This was all said in 2020 but supernatural neuters homosexuality to such an insane degree which is, to be clear, homophobic. But it also means little miss up for interpretation is pretty fucked: re scraping out a believable heterosexual living. Gay couples in supernatural DONT say they’re gay they DONT kiss they DONT say yes I am a man. Who is attracted to men. So the fact that Dean doesn’t do any of that. Does not detract from the idea of him being gay. Dean seeing two married men: what’s it like settling down with a hunter? no gay person says the word gay at any point ever to describe themselves. Dean also doesn’t do this. He is also living a neutered homosexual lifestyle, as is the norm in the cw’s supernatural 2005-2020

naruto is such a weird fucking show. kishimoto inexplicably established that the hidden villages are actually small mercenary units run for the benefit of war lords and then literally never addresses it. they have casual death matches to determine who will graduate to a level 2 mercenary and everyone is like This Is Fine. it’s like if the hunger games was about katniss wanting to become the mayor of district 12 and every other aspect of their world remains virtually unchanged.

Detailing the harmful, long-term effects of early exposure to the ball club’s dismal on-field product, parents and child safety organizations denounced the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday for directly marketing the team to children. “It is deeply irresponsible to lure kids into becoming Pirates fans before they’re emotionally equipped to handle the kind of disappointment and chronic underperformance this franchise will almost certainly inflict on them,” said National Child Safety Council spokesperson Rebecca Amoroso, adding that targeted giveaways, cartoon mascots, and Pirates-branded youth merchandise effectively glamorized futility, setting up kids for a lifetime of frustration and terrible baseball.

why do the words caregiver and caretaker mean the same thing. Shouldn't they be rival jobs that undo each others progress
#they do sound like they should be wrongos of each other#(wrongo is the secret evil ringo that travels behind Ringo un-drumming every drum he plays so he leaves no impact on the world)
