Yeah I really like what they did with SMG3. The it’s gotta be perfect movie really made SMG3 an actual character with depth, rather than being a villain that just lost and became sidelined.
@@ARedbirb I think he can still qualify as an anti-hero, like yeah he’s a hero but it’s not like he really wants to be, he just gets dragged into on most of the adventures
For me, the growth doesn't feel forced. I've been here since the beginning, so I've seen every single one of his phases, from "evil doppelganger," to Bowser's partner, to his truly evil phase leading up to the 2020 wotfi. His epiphany in "It's gotta be perfect" was a slow burn from him constantly wanting approval, which was showed as early as 2012, and he didnt come out of the depression by the "power of friendship," but rather finding his purpose as the graveyard guardian. As for the friendships, one can only save the universe with their nemesis so many times before starting to get close to them.
Imo it's very nice to see changed villains soften up as a story progresses. SMG3's been through a lot. He's hardened in the old environment due to his tendencies and his story, but now that it's all over and the time period of major chaos is done he's found a new purpose, a new role to play as the dead meme guardian. As the story progressed it was only natural for him to eventually fail at his evil plans and get defeated. The team-up episodes where he and SMG4's crew bond together was also heartwarming to me. It was a very classic but fun trope, spanning from kids-cartoons to modern day media. To see SMG3 as a villain is interesting, but nobody remains as a permanent hero or villain. Everyone has weak spots they need to tackle and new identities to find despite it being for good or evil. SMG3's old self was for evil, but as the story progressed he began to warm up to SMG4's crew as he slowly became connected and now empathizes with them in one way or another because of their shared experiences of fights, battles, arguments, and plenty of other shenanigans. To be honest, it was nice to see him enjoying this role and having fun in his newfound sense of self, which is a beautiful form of character development. I loved the old, villain-esque SMG3, but a man without change is a boring one. Nothing could ever stay the same, not even video game characters or imaginary ones. Still, it is also very entertaining for the audience to slowly grow along with them as they eventually develop to the paced plot. Along with the audience the character turns into someone who is more bold, or energetic, or more open. SMG3's transformation wasn't a loss. It was just natural character arcs forming together to sew a whole. I personally loved his newly-developed mood and his silliness. Previously he wasn't allowed by his situation to show such emotions in order to remain as a villain one could see as an actual threat. However as he warmed up around SMG4's crew he realized that it's not only the seriousness and bloodshed he does that defines him or anyone he knows. Just because someone had a bad past doesn't necessarily mean they're currently hurt, or they need comfort 24/7. SMG3 explored a lot of his dimensions of self as he continued on his path of growth, discovering how relaxed he feels around his friends and how good it is to open up and accept the cringey, whiney, quirky, and dorky parts of himself the old him would've been too ashamed to reveal or accept completely. Despite all of that I still love every single identity SMG3 is presented in. Whether it's the playful, whiney yet colorful and accepting version of him or the brutal, un-intentionally humorous and supervillain side of him. No matter which way you put it in the end he's still got a charm on him that might've been transformed over time into something for fitting for the future and current arcs. What defined him was a villain--Lots of people were pissed and believe SMG3's lost his identity because he lost his persona as a villain. I see it as putting down his villain arc and embracing a new self, a goofy and unhinged meme guardian from his retired supervillain who was one step away from ruling the world. Many people don't like this style anymore and it's completely fine too. There would be many more villains to come and many more heroes in the story to perhaps fall into their grip and transform both their friends and our expectations for what their old identity used to be. Change is painful because it brings nostalgia of a previous time, but nostalgia cannot exist without change over time. Nostalgia hurts good too in a way as you gaze back upon the characters you've seen for so long and how far they've come. Then you look at yourself and see how far you've come. SMG3's changed because after all of what he and every else's been through they all deserve a time of peace and harmony where they can just have fun without worrying about the entire universe collapsing or being nuked on. SMG3 deserved all of this peace and the change, the freedom of express his whiny and more sassy self because he's changed for the better of the cinematic universe. All in all their adventures of war ends there, but new eras of battles introducing new villains would start as the story continues on. If I would be able to write something to the readers who care and SMG3, it'd go something like this: You've made it this far. Despite everything, you're still here moving on. You're less hard than before. You're less strict, less spiteful, less hatred-fueled. Love softens one and it's fine, because you deserve love. You just haven't noticed it back then in fear of it backfiring and hurting you when you're defenseless. It's a double-edged blade. Seal yourself off for too long and nobody can hurt you but all that surrounds you is darkness. Become derived of any friends and perform everything solo and when you're in trouble you'll realize you have no pillar to lean on. It's about finding an equilibrium between being too hard and too soft as you navigate and try to find new dimensions of yourself. SMG4's story is rolling on along with new shows such as The Amazing Digital Circus and Murder Drones!! They've still got it going on well and strong!! I'm proud of them, and I'm proud of you too, for making it this far with them and with me. In conclusion SMG3 and SMG4 are in love
For all the classic SMG4 fans, he didn't turn into a antagonist in the youtube arc. Sure, he wasn't a next level threat like the flipping teletubbies. But he was still an antagonist in early videos. Hell, he was the main one in certain videos beforehand. Despite everything though, he really is a fine character.
Now, to be fair in this scenario he was brainwashed by One Shot Wren and so his love of explosions here was artificial since he was in a simulation. I quite like the fact that SMG3 went through his redemption arc in 2021 as he finally knew his place as a meme guardian and his more snarky personality still contrasts well with SMG4. Personally I quite like that change even though he was pretty great as a villain mostly in the TH-cam arc
Guy went from a threatening, deceivable, chaotic mastermind to a character so likely not to cause harm their lucky to have had screen time in "Western Spaghetti."
Old SMG3: UNFORTUNATELY, MY PATIENCE HAS RAN OUT, IM SICK AND TIRED OF PLAYING THESE STUPID PARODIES! (Western Spaghetti) SMG3: OH MY GOD! IM SPEAKING WITH ALL CAPS! *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
To be fair: smg3 was a villain so of course he could do those things like actual death threats, but now that he is a good guy can you really think that he'd kill meggy just cause he wants boom boom? The only thing he could've done was that
He’s not a villain, but he’s still well written. He didn’t become soft with 1 episode, he went through 2 whole arcs with the good guys to become the type of character he is today, yet despite his redemption arc he can still be rude. That’s what I love about Smg3’s whole character, he ranges from “me want boom boom 🥺” to a literal jackass. He literally pushed Mario down the stair for taking to long and got an award for being an asshole.
I remember 2017-2019 when he was had no voice actor and was just more so a background character really then he became a villain then he became a good guy, what a transformation.
SMG3 had _actual_ *_justified_* character development over a period of years, nothing wrong with that And let's be honest, the BOOM BOOM line was hilarious
Haha yea true. Isnt it cus he changed to good in one of the arcs? I definitely think he would return to do some more bad stuff in some episodes cus like.. its his literal point in the smg4 universe.. to be an evil version of smg4. But i dont think he will be the main villain ever again. His charcter changed now and honestly.. i like it CUS ME WANT BEWM BEWM! just like swag. I dont think he will be the one of the mains in arc and movies for a while actually cus i think smg4 is focusing more on meggy, tari and... the tv thing. But dont worry. He will get in the mains again atleast sometime in the future.
I think people forget that smg3 was introduced as a joke villain spoofing the common practice of making doppelgangers for recolors in mario 64 machinima. During his introduction, he was entirely played as a joke and meant to be laughed at. That isnt to say that i dont understand why people dislike how his character has gone, I just think its disengenuine to act as if modern smg4 ruined a character whos meant to be played completely straight
He’s probably changed because of the simulation, but I think he’s just trying to become a good guy and the simulation made him a little too good, but that’s just a guess

He was a rival to smg4 after his arc, but now he’s just an idiot

SMG3 redemption arc was in the Genesis arc because he helped SMG4 and said he would help if something like Zero happens again at the end of WOTFI 2021
He’s the Shadow of Smg4

Man, I really miss SMG3 when he was a villain, he made the TH-cam arc the best one so far in my opinion.
Yes…that‘s true…but the new Smg3 is also funny in my opinion…but I miss the old one so much!😢😭
Like he said in its gotta be perfect “I just miss being the villain, this good guy stuff is too tiring.”
2020 wasnt the best arc just because it brought in the unfunny anti-cast, but smg3 was very enjoyable
