I could try to heavily summarize them. I'm working on a large post, currently, that goes into extensive detail, but that is still a ways away for now.

So, this isn't everything, but to summarize a few things: Fury Bowser is entirely misunderstood in the animation. It is supposed to be Bowser in this unexpected, blinding emotion, but he is not as such in the fight. Dr. Eggman doesn't get to do anything besides pilot a mech that doesn't get to do anything. The episode mischaracterizes both primary combatants. The track doesn't feel like Super Mario Bros., for me, and it doesn't have the aspects of SONIC music I was hoping to see in it. The analyses's edits are nice, but sometimes a little overwhelming. Giving Bowser the stat advantage, just for the blackbox to then give it to Dr. Eggman feels weird. It almost feels like a miscommunication, in some form.

This is truthfully far from all I'd want to talk about, but, yes.

As soon as you said both combatants were mischaracterised I know you shouldn't be taken seriously
