War Of The Fat Italians 2021 (SMG4 Bloopers)

War Of The Fat Italians 2021 is the 34th episode of Season 11 of SMG4. It is also the twelfth and final episode of Genesis Arc, featuring the final appearance of Axol, the third WOTFI to not have X be its host due to him being vaguely absent in this arc outside the SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special, the eleventh episode in the War Of The Fat Italians series and the third WOTFI to be the finale of the arc. It was aired on September 18, 2021.

Synopsis
WOTFI 2021 is here! Bringing an end to the Genesis Arc and a big change to SMG4, Mario and friends.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Like the previous WOTFI episodes, the challenges in this episode are very interesting.
 * 2) SMG0 is still a likable and terrifying villain, just like how he was for the whole Genesis Arc.
 * 3) The surprise at the end where SMG1 and SMG2 reveal that SMG stood for “Super Meme Guardian” is a really shocking twist for SMG4 standards.
 * 4) Even if the Genesis Arc is much darker than the other arcs SMG4 has created, there are still some funny moments, with the scene where Mario rages due to getting banned from a Discord server and the scene where Susan Wojcicki kicks SMG4 in the crotch being some examples of this.
 * 5) The rap battle in this episode is highly considered by many to be one of the best rap battles in any WOTFI episode, along with the rap battle from WOTFI 2020.
 * 6) The scene where Melony kills Axol to defeat SMG0 can be seen as heartbreaking by many, and it also goes to show how Axol is willing to let Melony sacrifice him to kill SMG0.
 * 7) *In fact, his death is also mentioned in future SMG4 episodes, especially Mario has a BBQ but he’s not invited.
 * 8) Awesome Ending: SMG0 gets defeated by Melony, with peace getting restored to the world. After the scene where Melony cries due to Axol’s death, we see Melony finishing Axol’s Two Piece manga. Just as they were talking, SMG1 and SMG2 appeared to inform them that with the new universe closed and the memes restored, they had to hide the USB to prevent any sort of thing happening again, and then telling SMG4 and SMG3 about the meaning of SMG, which was Super Meme Guardians. After the SMGs left, the gang then gave their suggestions to Melony about the ideas for the conclusion of Two Piece. The end credits soon play, with the credits being shown on a blank page of Axol's manga, folding to its last page with Axol's last words of "Thanks for the adventure", before the manga closes with it's logo of WOTFI 2021 on it, ending the episode, and the arc for good.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The scene where Bob says “So Asian people, right,” can be seen as offensive. Hell, a bunch of Twitter birds even cancelled him because of this.
 * 2) While indeed sad, Axol’s death can be seen as disrespectful and unnecessary by plenty, especially considering that Axol is never mentioned again after this and Mario has a BBQ but he’s not invited.
 * 3) *Hell, even Desti’s death was treated as a bigger deal than Axol’s, with Desti getting a whole funeral in the final episode of the Anime Arc, but here, Axol gets a time skip, and is only mentioned once more in Mario has a BBQ but he’s not invited.
 * 4) *To add more salt to the wound, even Greg, who is known by many to be a joke side character, had not only a funeral, but even more mentions of his death.
 * 5) *This is especially disheartening when you consider that Axol was one of the main characters in the SMG4 channel since the Anime Arc.

Reception
War Of The Fat Italians 2021 received a mostly positive reception, with a rating of 7.6 on IMDB. Reactions to Axol's death in the episode was severely polarized. While some found Axol's death to be unacceptable, others appreciated Axol's evident sacrifice to his gang members and his legacy played a huge impact to themselves.

Trivia

 * This marks Axol's last appearance and his kill off from the series, since it was made once since SMG0 possessed him and was done to stop SMG0 for good.
 * Axol is the first main character in the series to die, as Desti, Francis, and Greg The Alien were more minor characters
 * Desti is indirectly mentioned by Meggy when she tells Melony that she knows what it's like to lose someone (Desti's death from The Anime Arc).
 * It was later confirmed on Twitter by FM his death is permanent.
 * Despite the cameo, this is the third time that X would not be hosting a WOTFI, being absent in 2018 and 2020.
 * This is the second WOTFI to be different from the norm, after WOTFI 2020, as other characters other than SMG4 face off against Mario.
 * This is the first WOTFI in which the Rap Battle is named ("Zero").
