20 Things You Somehow Missed In Super Mario Bros: The Movie
5. Koopa Is A Cannibal
Here's something queasy to consider - doesn't the film casually suggest that King Koopa is a damn cannibal?
In the movie's third act, there's a "humorous" scene where Koopa is seen ordering a pizza from a joint called Python Pizza. Koopa orders a pizza called the "Koopa Special," which apparently includes pterodactyl tail, dino, and lizard as toppings.
Koopa's penchant for eating dinosaur seems to suggest that he, himself descended from dinosaurs, keenly devours his own species and is therefore a cannibal.
And because that's not disturbing enough, Koopa also tells the delivery boy to "hold the mammal."
Given that Koopa uses the word "mammal" to refer to humans throughout the movie, we can safely assume this pizza place is also killing, cooking, and serving up humans. Wild.
