Smg4 Mr Puzzles - Blog Posts
It’s not the best… (still practicing embroidery) but I made a fabric version of Mr. Puzzles face! The lenticular piece bothers me too much :(
Mickey's death in SMG4 made me remember of that one song of him in the railway. Imagine that it changes to:
Mickey in the balcony making a deal.
Mr. Puzzles grabbed him and throw him out.
"Ah!" said Mickey "that's not fair!"
"Oh!" said Mr. Puzzles "I don't care!"
Btw
He just killed Mickey Mouse be silly
WOTFI 2024... God, it was cinema...
It left me wordless like- so much things to say, so much things to take...
The end, the humor, the drama, the animation... I loved it.
THE SONG! I'M GOING TO LISTEN IT FOR MONTHS!
The way that they let the fans put their own challenges for the characters!
IT WAS AMAZING!!!
And no, my love for Mr. Puzzles isn't going to stop, even if he's crazy af (literally).
But- yeah, that's all I can say, I mean... It really left me wordless, I don't know how to express myself. I really loved it...
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
OMGOMGOMGOMGYIPPIEYIPPIEYIPIIEOMGOMGOMG YIPPIEYIPPIEPYIPEIYPITIPPYIEIYIPIEIEOMGOMGOMGYIPPIEPYIPEIPIRYOMOGOMGO
I STILL NEED TO WATCH THE LATEST VIDS BUT YIPPIEYIPPIEYIPPIEYIPPIE
Ok, so, I watched "Mr. Puzzles Clubhouse" and I NEED to talk about it... (mostly silly)
In these scenes we can see that canonically Mr. Puzzles' ""blush"" (in disgust or actually in love with something) is like a heart rate.
This one shows that Mr. Puzzles can turn into ANY tv, even if it isn't an old one like his head. And, somethig obvious that I would still like to say is, when he turns into one, that same TV just fcking disappears. I mean, he turns it into his head and then doesn't reappear or something, now it's just his head.
And nothing important but these new scary faces are actually very cool (would add more, but Tumblr won't let me add the 100 images I want to put...)
Also, I LOVE this face, he's just so "💅"
In this one nothing important happens neither, I just wanted to say that I actually expected a song😭😭
And this scene... GOD THIS SCENE-
Maybe it didn't happen something TOO gruesome, but I like to think that he dismembered her (won't elaborate).
Mr. Puzzles be getting yandere bc he literally harmed Meggy for Leggy and just murdered Mickey💀
I just remembered that I'm in SMG4's fandom and that I need to watch the new vids. So I'm slowly doing it. I'm slowly coming back (like I always do with all the fandoms I'm in).
Btw look at him hehe
✨DrAmAtIc✨
The past, the present, and hopefully the future...
The handsome babygirl -> object head twink pipeline is crazy ,,,
Alt lighting and other stuffs in case anyone wants 'em!
Remember guys, he cut off his face, not his head! Isn't he handsome? 💗
(More like surgically shaved it down to fit into the TV but who's looking-)
(not him cosplaying as William Afton lmao)
I think he'd be very gentle with kids 🩷
"Don't worry, little one...
... I'll be your friend. "
Hot take: Mr. Puzzles receives too much blame for Western Spaghetti.
(Ramble under the cut)
"Mr. Puzzles tortured Meggy in Western Spaghetti, he made her relive her death over and over for a month!" No, he didn’t actually. That was One-Shot Wren. Sure, he gave Wren the technology and control of the simulation, but he didn't force Wren to do anything after that. You could argue that Puzzles enabled him, but Wren's actions toward Meggy and the crew afterward were all his own. Mr. Puzzles just sat back and watched. Did his comment about Meggy's "performance" in the Puzzlevision movie feel like adding insult to injury? Sure, but I think he legitimately thought he was giving her actual praise and just didn't even consider the mental/emotional ramifications of it all. Of course this doesn't excuse the things he HAS done, but Western Spaghetti specifically is on Wren.
On that same note, I actually think Mr. Puzzles isn't quite as "malicious" as we've painted him to be. He’s crafty, and he did do some pretty terrible things during the Puzzlevision arc, but they struck me as coming from a lack of understanding of the damage he was doing than actual malice. Again, it doesn’t excuse them, but it's not like he specifically wished them harm or had a grudge against them (though he probably does now).
"But he was happy to call himself a villain during the Meme Factory mini-arc." Yes, but I feel like he's taking the sort of approach where he likes to call himself a villain but doesn't really understand what that means. (The guy grew up in isolation watching TV all day; I wouldn't be surprised if his understanding of "evil" was on par with a Saturday morning cartoon villain.) And the only reason he's doing it is because he's playing the role he feels he's been assigned. After all, SMG4 was the first one to call him a "dime a dozen bad guy," but I don't think he started out wanting to be one. Which is primarily why I think he's not completely irredeemable. I mean he said it himself, he just wanted to make a good TV show.
Went on a little bit of a tangent, but thanks for listening to me pop off. XD And hey, those are just my thoughts. What do you guys think?
Not me going back and hyper analyzing Mr.Puzzles episodes to further ramble about how silly he is and just how well written he is
Just how blind is this man to memes? VERY.
VERY BLIND
Like I said in my last post he looks at the Meme Factory and only sees the Comedy Zone bc: Being Funny is how he suspects SMG4 has fame, hes been watching these guys for who knows how long and while they give epic performances in Arcs there is always one key denominator to SMG4 and that is: he makes people laugh
Mr.Puzzles doesnt get it. And another way we can see that is in the Despicable Mr.Puzzles episode where
Notice Shroomy has a NORMAL dog. This is important!! Because in Mr.Puzzles world, his TV safe space where HIS shows go the way he thinks they should... Shroomy having a normal dog is good! So when Mr.Puzzles gets upset at him and transforms his dog into a meme...
Shroomy doesnt react how Mr.Puzzles would want him too bc currently, the man himself is partaking in a Roll. Blinded by the Roll he is in. Playing the Character of Gru... Just like how SMG4 is himself but shifts just enough to fit the roll of like Dora The Explorer? Puzzles cant micromanage the NPCs reactions so
This isnt Shroomy just being dumb
This is shroomy: reacting how he might in Real Life, his dog is now a meme. Cool!! How nice of Mr.Puzzles to make his dog funny!! Itd be nice to have my old dog back but i wont argue the new dog
Bc Shroomy is a bit of a people pleaser he wouldnt show his true feelings on that and again: in this world memes are good. So while Puzzles thinks hes so evil... Hes actually doing Shroomy a TYPE of favour
So why does he Like Leggy then?? You may ask... Shes a Meme as far as any of us are concerned, its cannon too!! On meme island Meggy gets turned into Leggy and is confirmed as a Meme.
Wouldnt Mr.Puzzles find her disgusting? Nope!
He looks at Leggy as a Creature. Because that is how she acts in front of him, Leggy as a meme is a goomba gremlin that acts like a loyal pet to whom cares for her. A silly lil guy
And being a Fresh Made meme, she hasnt hit Mr.Puzzles media radar so chat
He doesnt know.
He just looks at this small gremlin and goes: what an annoying dog lmao time to move on with my life. But then he gets stuck with her and she animols all over the place getting him attached against his will lmao!!
Hes the perfect antagonist for the smg4 universe
A guy who doesnt think memes are funny and infact hates them!! Even after the adventure through the meme factory what is the first thing he does upon hitting the stage?
He tells a dad joke.
His audience: he himself: find that to be the only GOOD source of funny so of course he does that and gets power from it temporarily
And dad jokes are funny lol kill me if u want lol so ofc the camera worked for him.
But the important thing is: he didnt conform to memeage bc bro doesnt get it
And i love that for him
Mr.Puzzles has problems with Emotion/Has Low Empathy
First: I think it is very important to go over what Having Low Empathy means because a lot of people get it confused or simply do not know. So this is just info! ♥️ This top part♥️
•Cognitive empathy is what you do when you stop to think about how someone else might feel in their situation, the whole "how would I feel if this happened to me?" thing. Now, having cognitive empathy doesn't actually say anything about whether someone has or doesn't have low empathy because cognitive empathy is taught, however, there are some people who aren't able to learn it because of the way their brain works; they almost certainly have low empathy.
•Affective empathy, on the other hand, is not taught, it is what causes people to genuinely "feel for others"
It is what most people are referring to when they talk about having low or high empathy, it causes you to experience the same emotion you perceive the person to have. For some, this is only something they experience with people they're close to, some only ever feel it with fictional characters.
•Caring isn't really a form of empathy, but they're sort of related and I feel I should bring it up anyways. To specify, I'm using the definition of
"caring about someone is to be emotionally affected by things that happen to them"
which can be confusing and hard to tell apart from affective empathy sometimes. A friend you care about has something bad happen, so you're sad and then you might mistake that for feeling empathy because you're sad and they're sad, "so that must make it empathy, right?" when in actuality, the cause of your sadness was the bad thing happening to a person you like, not the fact they're sad.
-Fun Facts given to me by my friend @femboi-rayne , thanks for helping me further understand this subject homie!
______
Now why do I think, Mr.Puzzles has low empathy?
Section A:
When Leggy saves him from drowning in the Monster Energy River the first thing he does is scold her for invading his personal space; This is his autism being quirky bc as we all know it is VERY easy to put one thing above the other
And Leggy frowns HARD... He reacts but doesn't seem to fully understand the weight of his actions. He has studied facial expressions so knows she is upset, but with how QUICK he is to brush it off like it is nothing... He does not understand WHY she is upset, he did not think to himself
" how would I feel, If I rescued someone and they scolded me as their first action? "
Because simply he does not think that way, he cannot think that way. He doesn't want Leggy to be hurt however the easiest way for him to defend her, is physically, as he can see it happening in front of him and act on it. Pain is an easy sign to see, as is danger so when she is in danger he acts fast and accordingly. When it comes to hurting her feelings, he stumbles over his wording, says things wrong, pauses like hes trying to think about it but ultimately doesnt know how to.
Prime example B:
The whole interaction with Luigi is GOLDEN example of how he has Low Empathy.
Some of you might say 'oh Mr.Puzzles is a villain so he was mean to Luigi on purpose!'
To that I say: you are wrong ♥️
Mr.Puzzles has NO reason to be mean towards Luigi right now as the man in green is currently a Blockade to the next room. Luigi is the gatekeeper to the next door, and Mr.Puzzles is genuinely TRYING to be nice in his own quirky way.
His logical way of thinking is to tell Luigi that: I'm not here to harm you" and that will let him pass!!
However Luigi gets upset and requests Mr.Puzzles to turn him into a meat mallet, as only he can do this feat. The TV man is upset his plan didnt work but also he looks at Luigi and does not think to himself "if i tell Luigi that I will not turn him into a meat mallet, he will get mad"
He thinks: oh I can't do this, better tell the truth.
Thus why he thinks: he did nothing wrong.
I told the truth to the guy, what did he want from me?? Why didn't he let me pass, I was a good boy!! He wasn't actively trying to be evil, he NEEDED to get past Luigi and failed bc he cant do conversations.
And the adventure he has with Leggy ISNT about him becoming a Nicer Person nahhh. He still wants to take over the world and be popular lolol!
The episode is about Leggy pushing his boundaries in and Teaching him about empathy ....somewhat.... Theres only so much he can learn about How to Empathise and it doesnt help that he is an emotional wreck.
He doesnt know how to accept the fact this little gremlin is being nice to him... Because she likes him. It does not click in his 4head, and the episode is dedicated to her teaching him that Hey: im here for you bc I Like you. Not because im following orders you dummy/pos.
Her way of showing him- violence... Isnt the HEALTHY way to show him but ill look at it as playful animal time like a dog playing tug of war with your pants ♥️
When hes already not that confident with emotions it's going to be much harder for him to learn how to think before he speaks. And even if he does learn this, he will not be on the same level as anyone else in the SMG4 crew. Low Empathy, it can be a struggle! He'll keep messing up and accidentally offending people, but he'll be trying his best.
That is: if he gets a redemption arc
•which i personally hope he doesnt bc i love him the way he is but at the same time moving from being an awkward villain to an awkward friend would be adorable
(📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤📺🖤)
Mr. Puzzles has manufactured everything about himself, including his voice: (A long post!! 📺)
A thing I've noticed is just how often his voice changes, most notably when he's switching from his deeper narrator voice to his more energetic showman voice in the promo trailer. ^^^
Here's another example from the song. Both lines are said in two distinct voices, none of them being the usual one we hear from him. One has a more pronounced Transatlantic accent and the other has an American one. We can assume someone else is talking and he just overlays himself on top, but he is explicitly the one shown to speak in that moment. ^^^
This next one might be a stretch, but I think the supporting female vocals could be him as well. It is heavily implied he works alone and doesn't trust others with his vision so it kinda makes sense that he would also sing the song on his own. (If that's true damn does he have a good voice) ^^^
Even the critical podcast host could be him. The first voice is deeper and rougher while the second is more sly and has a distinct influxion that is unique to Puzzles, so they could be just his inner thoughts and insecurities audibly manifesting through some complicated technical means.
He is alone in his office, staring at all the monitors that display his hard work. And he is not satisfied. His mind begins to wander and his self doubt begins to manifest out loud in the form of others criticizing him, further fueling his crippling perfectionism. ^^^
Also here, when his lifelong dream is finally met he can't contain his (ever so slightly malicious) glee, and his voice deepens and begins to glitch out. ^^^
Also a bit unrelated but did y'all notice that when he says 'crying' he is shown with his crazy big smile? You know, his main expression on all the promotional material.
Conclusion?
I think his upbeat showman voice isn't how he usually sounds, but what he thinks others would like him to sound like. He has to keep up the energy that the audience has come to expect of him so he manufactured the perfect tv host voice to keep as many tuned in as possible.
I headcanon his real voice to be deeper, raspier and very monotone. I think that while he was smoking he had to turn off his voice synthesizer so the smoke won't damage it, which is why he doesn't talk in the scene. He has lost every bit of himself by molding into what he thinks people would like, and any reminder that he was once someone else makes him uncomfortable.
I'm going insane chat.
Guess what I've been watching recently?
My dreams and hopes are gone
Made a Lil doodle on if he died at WOTFI

I love this stupid fricken TV so much
I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit with this one! I've never properly drawn a TV-head character and I chose a complex one to draw, however I am extremely proud of this one! I love my baby Mr. Puzzles, and his silly show. (give him five stars idc that he committed numerous crimes he deserves it.
Btw I have a thing for suspenders, and TV heads.

Thank you @blue-doofus for the original Goomba Puzzles. You have truly made the guy of all time.
i thought it's really fun to talk about why Mr. Puzzles and Mr. WPNZ are perfectly matched in every scene
but hey, it's just a theory 🤔
Rewatching the Silence of the Cats movie again and i noticed a really interesting scene of why Mr. Puzzles and Mr. WPNZ share the same energy like hello??? Call me delusional but i think i know why they should team up

I have this unused/scrapped SMG4 Puzzlevision AU from last year with my villain doppelganger sona, Phantom Shadow, since I'm still working on the Virtual Insanity Puzzlevision AU "Animatic" (I'm 5% stuck at the storyboard progress, gonna overtime on this😓)
[LORE DROP BLAH BLAH BLAH IF YOU CARE]
──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────
It takes place of the event where Ms. Mediocre was defeated by Atsuover (Based on Anne's livestream confirmed), Ms. Mediocre was sent to the hospital unable to move her body then somebody came in, it's Phantom the Ms. Mediocre #1 fan came to visit with her idol's support.
A few weeks passed, as Ms. Mediocre and Phantom had a nice chat and meeting her idol together but unfortunately Ms. Mediocre won't able to live in this world since her damage condintion is much worse so she ask her #1 fan an offer to run her "Mediocre Studio" and be the most icon villian by herself. Phantom resist her idol's offer but Ms. Mediocre told her condition can't live much longer and dosen't have a choice so she gave the #1 fan her "sunglasses" and a "key". As Ms. Mediocre says her final words watching her #1 fan felt heavy tears and devastated not wanted to see her idol go. Ms. Mediocre will always cherish Phantom's dreams and then she release her final breath, no breathing, no pulse, nothing, Ms. Mediocre passed away.
As Phantom running her idol's studio and to be the greatest villian in the world, the ratings is getting higher but not too great recieving much criticism. Phantom is getting much stressed than never felt before, then the voices comes from the tv screen. Even though, she didn't felt his Creative Control since she's a immortal but what she didn't know that his name, "Mr. Puzzles", also a host and running his studio too. Her thoughts might think if she would collab him together then the amount of highest ratings and less criticism would be ten times better.
And so, Phantom travels to the Mushroom City hoping to meet Mr. Puzzles in his studio Puzzlevision, willing to take down their Protagonists and take over the world together for the greater good.
──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────
And that's the "Mediocre Of Vision" AU! (or MOV. file format in short)(Sorry for my bad grammar while writing this btw😅)
I hope these two explode and dies together in not a love birds way <3
Wow! 3 followers in 2 days?? You guys are insane! :D
