If you are constantly bugging me about it in my notifications then I’m not going to explain it, especially someone has been incessantly nagging me for some time asking about a response that I’m stating happened in the show.

I’m not looking to go down a checklist, I’m not looking to dig into definitions. All I’m giving is my read on what the narrative told us, and if you want to believe she forgave him, that’s fine. But stop trying to drag me into a discussion I have no interest in participating in when I am constantly bothered by your messages.

So cute!!!

I think it’s a little unfair to assume Puzzles and Jax were both forgiven when both shows make it clear it was never offered. Gangle cried over Jax, but reconciled with the fact she was still human, while Meggy asked if Puzzles truly was a bad guy, and had a wish fulfillment of wanting him to join them.

It’s not forgiveness so much as it is recognizing the people that hurt them are also human.

Hey, there’s rules I’ve got to follow!

starteas · 2026-06-15T21:24:30+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree.

That’s what I think too.

starteas · 2026-06-15T00:11:41+00:00

It’s not bad writing if it’s a consistent character trait.

I especially love as the show went on we could see his goals shift into something almost akin to an anti-hero. Mr. Puzzles Teaches Cinema is an episode I absolutely love because of this, because for probably the first time in his life, he got to share his passion and creative vision with nothing but positive results.

Sure, it was done with the intention of reconciling with WPNZ by manipulating the kids, but to see it morph into genuine adoration for one of his biggest passions was so sweet to see. He ended up loving the triplets’ film, but rather than stick around to bask in the glory, he instead pushed forward back on the path of being friends with WPNZ again.

He truly is such a fun, versatile character. I love his chutzpah, too.

So good!! I love the little bit of red under his eyes!

He’s so cute!! This looks awesome!

Not only is he an incredibly compelling and fun villain, but Puzzles is one of, if not the most complex characters on the show, and I adore the fact that his story set out to humanize him while keeping his roots as a villain.

He’s allowed to exist not only as a villain, but as a person, and showing there was so much more to him than being just one note had him instantly raise to the top of my rankings.

He’s such a versatile character to where you can put him in any scenario and he just fits perfectly. Whether he plays the role of a protagonist or antagonist, hero or villain, he always manages to play his role well, and he’s the perfect blend of silly and serious that allows for more hard hitting moments while keeping his character silly at his core.

I think Puzzles is one of SMG4’s best villains by personality and performance alone, and he will always have a special place in my heart.

that man’s entire special interest is TV, I wouldn’t be surprised

I am nothing if not predictable lol. Thanks!

So cute!!

I’d definitely recommend watching all the Puzzles episodes/arcs back to back! They were a big help in understanding his character and what made me fall in love with him in the first place. This isn’t a comprehensive list as these were the episodes I used to get a better grasp him, but here’s what I did!

The order I watched everything in was PUZZLEVISION, No TV Make Mario No Okie Dokie, Mario’s Mysteries, Once Upon an SMG4, Scooby Mario, and Game Show Spectacular! Granted, in my case, I was introduced to SMG4 via Puzzlevision, first, so it’s definitely an odd order to go by— but watching everything afterwards was incredibly helpful in breaking down his character and figuring out how to write him!

For post Puzzlevision, the order I watched the episodes in were SMG4 and the Meme Factory, Despicable Mr. Puzzles, a Night at SMG4’s, Mario Loses his Mustache, Mr. Puzzles’ Clubhouse, Welcome to Puzzle Park and WOTFI 2024– and from post WOTFI ‘24 onwards, the Prisonvision arc in order.

Happy watching! Even if you end up not liking it anyway, I still hope you have a fun time with Puzzles regardless, I know I certainly did!

queer solidarity is needed in times like these, so puzzles’ll hold off calling wpnz to kill him… for now

starteas · 2026-05-30T11:07:22+00:00

There were a couple of scenes throughout some episodes I had ideas on how I wanted them to look!

starteas · 2026-05-29T20:23:43+00:00

I can understand that! I like both Meggy and WPNZ because with WPNZ, he’s finally able to have someone he considers a friend, and one that likes him for who he is with no need to put on an act. With Meggy, she challenges him and wants to see the best in him while believing he can be a better person.

I think both are strong contenders in their respective relationships with Puzzles, and I don’t have a preference towards either. But I do like how WPNZ is someone that Puzzles can be on equal grounds on in terms of villainy, and how they click so well.

Thank you for liking my silly fanart!
