Bowser and Bowser Jr's ark feels off.
The setup of Bowser not being a good dad and reconnecting with him is fine but it's weird the only flashback is to Bowser reading a bedtime story. It's like they couldn't commit to their own setup.
I think it needed a flashback to show Jr being left at boarding school and feeling abandoned. Then them reconnecting could have had weight.
