Mario didn't have middle east either or Malaysia, Poland, South Korea, and Philippines. This obviously doesn't shift things in Mario's favor but just correcting the statement.
I'm starting to struggle to see how Barbie doesn't beat Mario dom at this point. Overseas I still think Mario has it. But I love that fresh takes on global IPs that haven't been milked to death like Marvel and Star Wars are winning this year.
Where did I say that lmao? Barbie also doesn't say that and without delving too hard into spoilers there are literally objectively "good" male characters in it working for the same cause.
Because if you are objective and look at history you can see that one side has been worse to the other and it has had massive repercussions
Barbie is a literally a campy comedy tackling this.
Yeah it's a completely different category. Barbie is still much more iconic and respected. MLP is just viewed as a weird brand for old men into beastality. There is literally a Bob's burgers episode poking fun at that whole idea lmao.
