How does Bowser Jr regard father's affection to Peach?

[Dorayaki]

I assume the upcoming 2026 movie has highly likely chance to clarify, but before that, let's do this topic for some prediction.

Altho Bowser still admires Peach today, if I remember correctly, BJr seems never present whenever Bowser express his love for Peach, but I'm always curious, would there be some potential conflict if BJr is on the spot?

We know in BJr's view he knows Peach isn't his real mother, and he doesn't really know his origin. Still, even if Bowser wasn't BJr's natural father, foster kids may still feel unused to parent's romance or new parent situation, so it'd get serious no matter if Bowser is BJr's natural father.

I just guess Nintendo has been avoiding that on purpose and don't want such deep conversarion in Super Mario mainline. Or maybe BJr cannot know because he would had stop Bowser from kidnapping Peach if he knows his father want to marry her, assume that he doesn't support it. Now with movie offering enough story room, I wonder if Miyamoto would consider it a great chance to give an official answer?

What's BJr's thought in your opinion? Do you think the 2026 movie will actually explain?

I think Bowser Jr. is supportive of his father's affection for Princess Peach, but he may get weirded out when he displays those feelings towards her or in secret, and just stays away like an embarassed teenager lol

I don't think Junior is personally very invested in the relationship, but he does look up to his dad in general, and supports it because it makes Bowser happy.

Peach clearly isn't into him, and I dunno what Bowser Jr. thinks about that.

Peach clearly isn't into him

The point is relationship of parent and kid. Bowser doesn't have to marry Peach right now, but just his wish to be a groom and a husband one day is enough for that premise. Even if he gives up on Peach, he'd eventually find his own Peach one day.

Unless he openly agrees that he will never marry for the sake of his son, but that isn't a necessity in a moral view.

I think he's more focused on "fighting that Mario again" (he said this in mario sunshine)
