In the latest SMG4 episode, We Must Kill Mario, Marty suddenly returns and is an antagonist once again, seeking revenge against Mario, similar to what Mr Puzzles desires following the events of A Night At SMG4's... Could this be the beginning of the wotfi 2024 arc, which could see Marty and Mr Puzzles teaming up?

Video Transcript:
Hey all, No Null here. So after another underwhelming and confusing return of mr puzzles in a stand alone, non canon episode of puzzlevision, something very interesting and neat has finally happened in the smg4 series. We’ve had the sudden return of Marty after almost a year since his last proper appearance in wotfi 2023, where he served as the main antagonist. And not just that, but he returned as an antagonist once again who is set to return by the looks of things, and we even got an annoying lore inconsistency/loose plot point from last year resolved as a cherry on top.

So firstly, in a nice flashback to after the events of wotfi 2023, we see how mario escaped from prison, explaining how he was present for the super smg4 wonder episode that released right after wotfi 2023, while also explaining why marty disappeared from the series for a while, as he remained in prison. However, we do know that he had escaped prison quite a while ago, as we saw that he had a new aeroplane business in the plane trip episode that was released shortly before the meme factory mini arc began. We also see that he was able to start this weird spaghetti cult, so he has been very busy building up resources since he escaped prison. In fact. He’s become an outright villain since escaping prison, being described as a fucking terrorist by Karen’s boss LMAO.

In wotfi 2023, marty’s motivation was simply that he was an ambitious businessman, and he wanted to steal smg3’s pizza recipe in hopes of generating more profit from his pizza stand. But interestingly, his motivation has now changed rather drastically, as he is now outright evil and is seeking revenge against mario for abandoning him, as well as desiring to put everyone else through the pain he felt from being abandoned by his best friend. In today’s episode, he sought revenge through poisoning a ton of people, including karen’s children, using mario’s beloved spaghetti as a way to get back at mario, since we all know mario loves spaghetti, enough so to abandon marty in prison. But ultimately he was defeated, and we were left with a cliffhanger ending as marty escaped and swore to return.

So what does Marty's return mean, and what may it lead to? Well it's clear that something major will probably be happening with marty, as they went through the effort of re-establishing his character, such as by recapping the events of wotfi 2023. They even gave him a voice using a speech device reminiscent of Stephen Hawking’s speech device lol. Since we’re in the latter half of the year now, it’s very likely that this new plot thread involving marty will conclude with wotfi 2024. But this is the interesting part. Mr Puzzles’ plot thread is also still unresolved, and as i’ve previously theorised, I believe this will also be concluded with wotfi 2024. In this previous video of mine, I suggested that mr puzzles will be motivated primarily by a desire for revenge against mario and the smg4 cast in his next plot. And guess who else now also seeks revenge against mario and the smg4 cast? And remember what else I said in that previous video? I came up with an idea where mr puzzles gathers up a group of other previously defeated smg4 villains and minor antagonists to work with him in a future wotfi 2024 arc, and i specifically mentioned including marty in this group. Could I have actually predicted the premise of the wotfi 2024 arc? I guess we’ll have to wait and see if any other antagonists return in future episodes, such as lawyer kong, wheeler, depresso and ztar. Either way, it seems likely that marty and mr puzzles will be working together for wotfi 2024, though this time they’d likely be partners on equal footing, rather than marty being a puppet of mr puzzles’ plan like in wotfi 2023.

I’d like to conclude this video by discussing how much I really appreciate today’s episode. It is by far one of my favourite episodes released this year. It is an episode focused on a more minor character, we get some nice character interactions that aren’t all too common, we get to see more screen time for lesser used side characters, and it expanded on previously unresolved plot threads and questions as well as establishing some new lore about karen. This was just a really good episode and it has kind of rescued my interest and confidence in the series, which has admittedly been waning since the meme factory arc. I hope they keep up what they did with this episode. Perhaps they could bring back Lui, since they did go through the trouble of solving a year old lore question that I was sure would never be resolved. Anyway, bye.
