To be fair, Bowser loves Peaches more demonstrably, but they're both infatuated with the icon of her rather than her actual self. π€·πΌββοΈ
For Mario, I totally agree. But Bowser is a king himself, so why would he fall in love with a princess just because she's a princess? I think his plans to marry her are rather for geopolitical reasons: A marriage would lead to a merge of both kingdoms, and the first born Bowser Jr. (who doesn't have Peach in his blood line) would eventually inherit this bigger kingdom.
Neither loves Peach for who she is, but rather who they envision her to be.
Gurl, mario needs to save himself from bowsers castle before he can learn to save someone else.
Mario needs to save himself from the pointless questing at endless castles. Bowser needs to save himself from his own tacked-on pomp & patriarchy so he can love the tiny koopa inside his overlarge shell. The both of them have some work to do. Meanwhile, Luigi & Toad could use a fuckin' buddy movie. Just sayin'.
Thatβs deep brah
