Finally saw the movie

#

it definitely wasn't a masterpiece in writing by any stretch but it was indeed fun to watch

#

||I'm guessing they deadass had him rerecord||

#

at the end of the day imo Pratt's voice is just nothing exceptional but it gets the job done

#

||kinda a little sad that Luigi spent most of the movie in a cage but that climax was worth it||

Just saw the movie today. Definitely a fun watch.

#

I was geeking out even over the littlest references

#

I can't believe they actually included the ||Mini Mushroom|| in the film

#

Felt like forever since that was last in a Mario game

#

||They made the mini mushroom useless||

#

||No super speed or super jump||

Does that make Mario faster? I never noticed if it did

hallow shoal
#

||In the actual games (specifically the New Soup from DS), eating a blue mushroom makes you way more faster and long jumps||

daring jetty
#

Ah, I see.

#

I also didn't expect the ||Ice Flower||. Loved how it was used in the movie.
||That light blue dress on Peach looked so pretty||

#

I loved the ||Punch-Out Pizzeria(?)|| at the end to be honest. Great representation for ||Little Macā€™s|| franchise which is really underrated

They actually edited ||bowser's lines in the trailers by cutting out parts where he mentions wanting to marry peach even where it was in the middle of the sentence||

So ||when he's rallying his troops in the trailer it cuts straight to him talking about conquering the mushroom kingdom (after that one Koopa becomes dry bozo)||

#

Been having some thoughts about how a theoretical DKC movie would go

#

Was thinking it would be something fusing together the original DKC game, and DK64

#

Pirate menace King K Rool docks the island, and effectively takes it over in one fell swoop. He wants their golden banana horde or something

#

DK, Diddy, Dixie, and maybe Cranky are the only ones able to escape getting captured

#

Have to go across the island, stomping out the Kremling army, while also having to recruit up the DK Crew

#

Maybe Tiny could be the one who teaches them how to round up and ride the animal buddies or something

#

Actually maybe the golden banana or the crystal coconut is a legendary treasure in the island and K Rool takes it over thinking the kongs had it, but they didnā€™t

#

So K Rool set up factories and mines to see if they could find it themselves

#

You need a minecart action scene

#

K Roolā€™s last ditch effort to find the treasure would be to use the Blast-o-matic as it rises out of the ocean or something to really raise the stakes

tacit copper
#

Since we got Bowser as the usual "evil bad guy" villain in the Mario movie, I think it'd be nice if K. Rool could be somewhat different from that trope

#

I think a fun way of doing it would have the Kongs and Kremlings (they would have to find a new word for them lol) start as rivals as usual and then having to come together for a bigger threat, like humans or something

hallow shoal
#

Ooor maybe use two of the underappreciated villains of the modern Country games

#

as that "bigger threat" (The Tikis or The Snowmads)

barren spear
#

Yeah I think Kongs and Kremlings being rivals that go up against a bigger threat would be cool

#

(The DKCTV has ruined me to the point where I need to see them working together)

tacit copper
#

I don't want K. Rool to basically be Bowser 2

hallow shoal
#

K.Rool is too much of a chad to have a love interest

tacit copper
#

Yeah but like
Big bad funny villain monster guy grrr

barren spear
#

If they do bring back K. Rool I hope they make him gay as fuck like in the cartoon

novel frigate
#

i can't wait for this movie's ost to drop so that i can finally listen to that certain theme that they use during the climax

tacit heron
#

Yeah as I writing that I couldnā€™t help but try to keep it from being too similar to the Mario movie

#

Itā€™s tricky when your villain is yet another big green reptile monarch

tacit copper
#

Also been thinking, I think a dk movie would work better as a prequel to the mario movie than sequel

#

Maybe we could get an explanation for why the Kongs use karts and all that stuff, and how they got in the Mushroom Kingdom world and all that

tacit heron
#

||Pauline is the mayor of Brooklyn so there is something they could try and pull there||

tacit copper
#

If they do a dk movie they absolutely gotta touch the arcade stuff

#

Lady, Jumpman, Stanley, all that stuff

#

Hence why I suggested the "bigger threat" being humans, cuz DK Jr.'s whole plot is evil mario, and there's plenty of ideas you can take from "humans are bad" or something

tacit heron
#

||Marioā€™s dad in his youth with his work buddy Stanley having to save Paulineā€™s mother or something from a younger Cranky and Donkey Kong||

tacit copper
#

I can see this movie being something like,
The Kong clan and Kremling clan both dispute over an island with the usual rivalry shenanigans and all that, until humans, step down on the island and go "it's free real state" and start building stuff there and capturing animals and stuff, to which cranky is like "i hate those people they're bad", making the Kongs and Kremlings go "ok fine maybe we should team up to get rid of those guys" but DK and K. Rool simply rivalize eachother so much they are incapable of working together and screw up to the point maybe blowing up the entire island, that would make them end up in a zoo in NYC or something, and only there they would actually work together to escape
The rest of the Kongs, and maybe Kremlings come to save em and escape New York and go to the sewers or something
In the end, they have to find a new place to go, and the Kremlings are like "bro are you kidding those sewers are perfect we are staying" and the Kongs like "nah this sucks we need to go different ways" and wander into the mushroom kingdom in search for a new home
In a last goodbye, DK and K. Rool kiss

tacit heron
#

Okay I like all of that right up to the point theyā€™re in the zoo

#

Iā€™d say Diddy Kong should be in his pen, wanting to go back to the island

tacit copper
#

reverse Madagascar

tacit heron
#

But DK is loving the admiration and praise he gets from the New Yorkers

#

King K Rool and 3 other Kremlings are trying to sneak out, which gives Diddy Kong the idea to go back to his island

#

Donkey Kong, Cranky, and Dixie all try to stop him

#

Eventually they get captured again and are instead put on a boat

#

King K Rool and his Kremlings take the boat over, but causes the kongs to all fall off into the water

#

When they wake up they land on Yoshi Island

tacit copper
#

San Diego

tacit heron
#

After DK and Diddy fights a bit, they realize there is a tribe of Yoshis who are partying to music

#

After partying with the Yoshiā€™s, and saving them from evil Shy Guys, Donkey Kong becomes ostracized from the group because he accidentally Banana Slammaā€™d Diddy Kong

#

Itā€™s just part of his nature after all

#

Meanwhile the Kremlings make it back to Crocodile Isle but realize itā€™s a dump so they leave

#

They arrive to Yoshiā€™s Island and the Kongs plant to the boat to get back, but first they have to get back Donkey Kong

#

They fight off some Shy Guys and eventually get him back

#

They learn that Donkey Kong can instead Banana Slamma some fish in order to fulfill his needs

Just finished watching the Mario movie, and it's an easy 8/9. The visuals and animation were phenomenal, the music was great, all the references and callbacks were a treat for a fan like myself, and the relationship between Mario and Luigi was really sweet. My only real issue was the pacing, I'm fine with a short 90 minute movie but I think this could have benefited from an extra 10 minutes to better flesh out some characters and plot points.

#

I saw it yesterday and I agree that it needed more time and there couldā€™ve been more substance. Still it was fun.

I had this idea where they incorporate Fawful into a sequel as a new lackey of Bowser and there would be a Meta Twist where fans familiar with him expect him to betray Bowser and become the main villain only for him to be loyal all throughout.

Unlikely I knowdadsive

the writing is honestly pretty subpar

if I had to guess it's probably a carbonated peach drink

lethal forge
#

I mean

#

Regarding about the critics "being right", I don't completely agree that it's carried by nostalgia. Even if the movie isn't great writing wise, it's not like it was completely vapid of an experience either. I think there's some real potential to let things develop more in future movies even if the film itself doesn't explore them enough.

novel frigate
#

the film kinda does expect you to accept the premise from it being how it is in the games

#

the floating platforms of the mushroom kingdom, the gratuitous use of go-karts for one sequence, it's a lot of stuff that wouldn't be acceptable to just shove in there without explanation if it wasn't for them being staples of the games

lethal forge
#

Nostalgia to me, means that it's completely carried by fans only liking it because of the sheer amount of references but I also think it's fine being the way it is. It's still doing new things that aren't usually part of the Mario brand though it could do more to explore them.

#

You're not wrong that it doesn't bother really explaining all these Mario mumbo jumbo stuff but I don't think it's a real problemm more so not having the extra 10-20 minutes it needs.

novel frigate
#

I thought the movie was fun and such, it was worth seeing to me

I'm just noting how a lot of this stuff is incredibly weird to someone not versed in the games and it comes off as potentially really narratively random

#

like the penguins in the beginning, it's probably going to be a huge question to a lot of non-fans as to what penguins have anything to do with Mario, even if fans can recognize them

lethal forge
#

I feel the penguins being penguins isn't something a critic should be worrying about. It's goofy fantasy land.

#

talking turtles, mushroom people etc. Unless stuff like Adventure Time is just nonsense to people.

odd crescent
#

I think the penguins are the least of the things a non fan will have problems grasping

#

People are going to eat up this movie now but I have a feeling it won't be looked back upon favorably as people look more into it outside of the Dopamine rush they got from all the references

lethal forge
#

Iā€™m of two minds

#

Yes the movie probably needed more scenes and letting the character breathe more. Personally I think these things can be addressed in further installments where theyā€™ll be less concerned just dipping their toes in the water.

#

But I donā€™t care to make every damn thing make sense for critics. Iā€™m fine being catered to, not the ones who donā€™t care about the franchise

odd crescent
#

I mean when Nintendo and Mario pride themselves on accessibility

#

Seems pretty antithetical to make your movie only accessible to your predisposed audience

#

I don't even think the wacky unexplained world is that big of an issue

#

Its that there is nothing besides that

#

The character work and story are not even bare minimum

#

If you had flshed those out more I bet you critics would be more receptive to it

#

Give us reason to care outside of us already liking mario the game

odd crescent
#

Man I'm thinking about the storytelling potential with DK and Mario in the movie

#

It's a good set up they do basically nothing with

lethal forge
#

Like I donā€™t think we necessarily disagree but I also feel like a Mario movie and the people making should wear itā€™s sleeves if they choose to wear it. It not having enough rich character development is a different matter that doesnā€™t beget reference galore

#

When kids and millennials can get into the movie I donā€™t think I care about it being accessible to the kind of critics already aiming to take apart of the movie and shouting buzzwords like nostalgia

odd crescent
#

Well that's the thing though

#

References and good story/character are not incongruent

#

Ignore critics

#

The movie can do so much more then the bare minimum

#

I'm glad puss in boots 2 came out recently its makes a strong point if comparison

#

How many people saw puss in boots 1

#

I know I didn't

#

And yet it still is perfectly accessible on its own

lethal forge
#

I think I just donā€™t think the potential isnā€™t neccessarily impossible for say a sequel

odd crescent
#

And his above and beyond for its character work

lethal forge
#

I see it as Nintendo setting the Mario movie property and wanting it to be as safe as possible. Itā€™s likely that I feel future installments will push the envelope further.

odd crescent
#

The visuals then enhance those storytelling beats

#

For mario the visuals are there to supersede the story

#

I don't pull punches cause I think the "Nintendo wanted to play it safe" argument to not be a good one

#

The story doesn't need to be nothing to be "safe"

lethal forge
#

Sounds like you just really donā€™t like the movie

#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

odd crescent
#

I like it purely on a visual level and it tickles my mario pilled brain

#

But I'm not gunna pretend it doesn't leave me wanting it to be more than that

#

I greatly enjoyed watching it

#

There is squandered potential here

#

Because the set up isn't bad. It's simple but that doesn't mean it's bad

lethal forge
#

I guess Iā€™m talking more about how to proceed from there rather than talking what the movie could be

odd crescent
#

Just imagine || instead of a 20 second scene where DK and mario yell at each other in an eel which causes them to find an escape. You instead have mario desperate to escape and dk has given up. Mario tries to get him to help by insulting him but DK doesn't care what mario thinks if him, he only cares about what his dad must be thinking of him. We can then have mario and DK have a nice conversation about how they seek the approval of their fathers which then inspires DK to action and he's the one who finds the rocket barrel they use to escape ||

lethal forge
#

It gets a pass from me because this is Nintendoā€™s 2nd venture into the movie business after the bomba that was the first movie adaptation. Should they keep making safe card board stories with limited characterization than Iā€™ll understand the desire more but Iā€™m at least willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

odd crescent
#

You can easily play mario as a superman type where he doesn't have this insane complexity but his never gives up mentality can inspire others

lethal forge
#

Could the movie be so much more? Yes. But it is what it is at the end of the day and if it wants to be a rollercoaster ride and a love letter for the fans, than so be it. I just hope sequels respond to the critique

odd crescent
#

What motivation do they have to do this though

#

The movie is already the highest grossing opening weekend for a film

#

Animated film

lethal forge
#

Successful movies donā€™t neccessarily mean they donā€™t listen to critique

odd crescent
#

It's clocking in at the bare minimum runtime for feature length too

#

I know

#

But then you remember who made thus

#

Cause really it's just illumination shlock but with mario

lethal forge
#

shrugs rise of gru got positive reviews

#

An improvement over several minion movies

#

I mean even if the 2nd movie wasnā€™t a critical darling, generally sequels do try to do more and respond to critique

Really not that much different here tbh

#

Also been thinking about how they could expand this to at least a Mario cinematic universe

#

Not Nintendo but the greater Mario series

#

Would make more sense at least

novel frigate
#

#

right

tacit heron
#

I heard that

novel frigate
#

which makes sense considering the DK expansion being planned for Super Nintendo World

tacit heron
#

I got thinking to how a Wario Land movie would work.

#

But thinking that maybe itā€™s such a minor series, that only one movie would be necessary

#

Not like the games have a lot of plot anyways

#

Would exist after Wario and Waluigi would likely have been introduced and established so they can be the main duo

#

Wario getting enticed by a treasure hunting quest manages to stumble across a lost civilization

#

Meets Scienstein who is studying the ruins

#

Wario and Waluigi somehow fall into some ancient chamber to which an ancient deity would awaken, ask them to collect music boxes in order to release them and he will reward Wario and Waluigi with riches

#

Captain Syrup, who also stumbled across the ruins looking for treasure, catches wind

#

So it becomes a race to get the music boxes as they butt heads

#

Thinking maybe a black cat would also be introduced who tags along with Wario and Waluigi in an effort to stop them

#

But they canā€™t speak or something because theyā€™re a cat

#

Basically try and combine the different game plots

#

So the main group would probably be comic relief Wario and Waluigi, straight man Scienstein who is interested in the research, and the black cat Shokora who is only tagging along to stop them

#

But maybe Shokora sees Wario is much more capable than he let on, and that maybe he can actually defeat Rudy once awakened

#

Which happens after all the music boxes are collected and taken to the chamber

#

Get into this big fight between all the characters

#

Once Rudy has been defeated by the joined efforts of Wario, Waluigi, Scienstein, Shokora, and Syrup, Shokora is able to transform back into her human form. Something about having been the Princess of the lost civilization, and in an effort to seal the demon Rudy he cursed her to become a cat and the rest of the citizens into monsters.

#

They all part ways after learning there is no treasure

#

Except there is, and itā€™s all Sciensteinā€™s

this would make a great pizza tower movie

you CANNOT escape from the inevitable Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: The Movie in theaters soon

(it ends with a post credits scene teasing the Subspace Emissary movie)

urban relic
#

I'll be honest... a Smash movie could happen without them sharing a universe

Yeah all they need to do is have them get pulled in from their respective universes

#

No need to have each universe be connected through some arbitrary way

I think the issue with a smash bros movie is that you're doing a crossover of video game characters in a movie

You can get away with it using purely the 100% Nintendo characters

#

phoenix wright would never

urban relic
tacit heron
#

Mario, DK, LoZ, Metroid, Star Fox

#

Splatoon

#

Kid Icarus

#

F-Zero

tacit copper
#

But fr I think there's a bit of an issue when it comes to audiences on this

urban relic
#

so who will be the 'main character' of Smash Bros movie?

#

Because you need a character to focus things on

tacit copper
#

Who is gonna watch a movie about video game characters fighting, outside of smash fans

urban relic
#

otherwise it become messy

tacit heron
#

Would probably divide the focus between Mario, Link, Samus, and Donkey Kong

#

At least thatā€™s how Iā€™d do it

#

Thatā€™s how Avengers did it

south moon
#

avengers also had several movies prior and after that each focus on one specific character though.

#

and that introduce those characters.

tacit heron
#

Well

#

Yeah

#

Otherwise theyā€™d pull a Justice League

#

And no one wants that

south moon
#

you can't really do that with a smash movie though? unless you make an actual nintendo cinematic universe.

#

which like.

#

you should not.

#

that would be terrible.

tacit heron
#

The way I see it is like

#

You can have these individual movie franchises

#

But not share a universe

#

But you can have a big crossover movie where these universes meet

urban relic
tacit copper
#

Maybe a crossover themed around video game characters fighting eachother belongs to a video game and not a movie

karmic valve
tacit copper
tacit heron
#

I think youā€™re really underestimating the general audience

#

Especially if they make a Metroid movie and Star Fox movie and whatever prior

tacit copper
#

General audience outside of Nintendo fans is just that

south moon
#

yeah, the general audience.
also known as the only two star fox fans that exist.

#

fox would probably be like hawkeye.

#

if we're comparing things to the mcu.

#

because like, most people probably didn't know or care about hawkeye before the mcu films.

#

and he was introduced to those in the c- he was in thor nevermind.

tacit heron
#

Black Widow was also in Iron Man 2 but no I get your point

south moon
#

this wouldn't work?.

#

it works with mcu because that's already all the same universe.

#

if we're assuming the smash movie would be on scale with the rest of the movies and on scale with the avengers films.

#

it'd probably get pretty confusing for general audiences?.

#

especially the general audience for nintendo stuff.

urban relic
tacit heron
#

Iā€™m not really arguing for the fact it could be good, mostly just arguing for the fact it can exist

tacit copper
#

The mario movie hit so hard because everyone knows mario, it's just a mainstream thing, even if you don't play video games you know who Mario is
In a smash bros movie you'd be mixing different franchises that very few people outside of Nintendo fans, which are definitely a minority in the general animated movie audiences, don't know about

south moon
#

i mean, not really?.

#

honestly i think most people who just know about mario in passing won't give a shit about the movie.

#

it only really "hits hard" for the people who already are invested in the series.

tacit heron
#

The Mario movie kinda blows chunks if youā€™re not a Mario fan

tacit copper
#

Hits hard as in, it sells, not that it's of good quality or not

south moon
#

oh, i wasn't even looking at the second half of your message honestly.

tacit heron
#

Gonna also argue, when comparing to Marvel

south moon
#

i feel like, if they do make like, a donkey kong and a metroid and a zelda movie or whatever.

#

and then make a smash movie.

tacit heron
#

Hardly anyone knew about the Guardians of the Galaxy besides hardcore marvel fans

south moon
#

more people would be invested and go see it?.

tacit heron
#

Now theyā€™re one of the biggest comic book movie franchises ever

south moon
#

yeah that.

#

that's literally how mcu got as popular as it did, really.

#

but also, if they keep making nintendo movies of the same quality as the mario one, it probably won't end up working out for them, lol.

tacit heron
#

Also true

#

Mario movie got by because of it was a ton of Mario, not because it was a good movie

tacit copper
#

I do think that if they introduced all of those franchises not as popular as Mario, like Zelda and Metroid and all that, to the movie audiences, then yes I can see a movie happening, like you said

tacit heron
#

If future Nintendo movies are of similar quality itā€™s gonna dwindle fast

south moon
#

it's honestly so close to being a good movie, it kinda hurts me.

#

it's a fun movie, and i enjoy it but, man...

urban relic
tacit heron
#

Kirby movie is not gonna be good Iā€™ll tell you that

south moon
#

the opening (brooklyn stuff), mid-section (dk fight), and climax are like.

urban relic
south moon
#

genuinely pretty good.

tacit copper
#

I'm gonna be 100% with ya, I think kirby is a terrible pick for a movie

south moon
#

but everything in-between kinda falls flat.

tacit heron
#

You really need to do a lot of heavy lifting to turn Kirby into a movie

#

Something which I doubt Illumination would be up to do

#

Itā€™s Kirby, itā€™ll sell no matter the story

urban relic
#

I think even if a Kirby Movie have a good story, good animation, everything is good, people won't see it.

Mostly because of the 2 extremes of Kirby. "the Babyish Kirby" and the "Nightmarish Kirby"

tacit copper
#

They would 100% go on the "Kirby is an adorable cute marketable thingy" and just make something like the Trolls movie or whatever other movies capitalize on the extreme cuteness and childishness of the characters

tacit heron
tacit copper
#

I think Kirby is more suitable for Japanese styled animation than western cinemas

south moon
#

the thing about kirby, imo is that like.

tacit heron
#

Kirby anime thatā€™s a depiction of the games with multiple miniseries that tackles a different major plot

south moon
#

it's kinda carried by it's characters and set pieces?.

#

which would get treated better in a long form series.

#

than a movie.

#

unless you're the anime, lol.

tacit copper
#

some things just aren't fit for movies

south moon
#

to get back on track, what is the worst part of the mario movie for any of you?.

#

i'm curious.

tacit copper

as awesome as the through of "WOAH!! IT'S THE ______ MOVIE!!!", there are definitely better arts to represent those franchises

||also I was hoping Bowser would be more moved by love than by evil, and unfortunately he seems to go for the latter||

urban relic

Why did they pick a 90 minute runtime?

#

That and Fred Armisen as Cranky

south moon
#

oh yeah, cranky is awful.

#

for me, i think my biggest problem is the mario kart stuff.

tacit heron
#

I think there was a reason why he didnā€™t speak in any of the trailers

tacit copper
#

I think he's fine??? I have no complaints with the voice acting honestly

barren spear

||Cause like, I wish we got a short Epilogue cause we never see what the other characters are up too, just Mario and Luigi going to work lol||

Fred can be a good VA from what I heard, he was just miscasted

barren spear
#

I think Crankyā€™s fine, he just doesnā€™t sound
Cranky lol

tacit heron
#

He tried

#

But he wasnā€™t the best for the role

urban relic
#

Chris Pratt isn't as bad as the trailer, right?

south moon
#

cranky's casting in the cartoon was perfect tbh.

#

they should've gotten someone like that.

barren spear
#

Yeah lol

tacit heron
south moon
#

same for other dkc characters, but the rest of them aren't in the movie, lol.

tacit heron
#

I didnā€™t mind him

south moon
#

well, dk is, but seth rogen dk is honestly pretty good.

urban relic
#

so is it kinda like ugly Sonic?

south moon
#

dk in general is like.

#

the best part of the movie.

#

tbh.

deep skiff
#

the voice for cranky has good mannerisms but it just Doesn't Sound like a crotchety old man and i need to hear a crotchety old man

south moon
#

he's really fun, and he actually gets a proper introduction (wow!!!!).

#

also he and mario play really well off of each other.

tacit heron
#

Cartoon Cranky is best

deep skiff
#

dk is way more aggressive and juvenile than we normally see him depicted as but i think it's rly fun and seth rogen's performance is great

south moon
#

also, they made ||dk his son instead of his grandson|| so negative points for that.

deep skiff
tacit heron
#

Yeah Seth Rogen DK was my fav character+casting

#

I would love a DKC movie

narrow holly
#

I think Chris Pratt works for mario in the context of the movie since he's just ||a guy from brooklyn|| and most of the worst parts are from the trailer and have mostly been minimized

south moon
#

i mean.

#

i disagree?.

#

even as just ||a guy from brooklyn|| pratt doesn't do a good job at it?.

#

especially coming after ||lou albano and bob hoskins||.

tacit heron
#

Why are we spoilering that, thatā€™s been a confirmed fact long confirmed from the trailers

south moon
#

yeah, i'm not sure, i'm just going along with it.

#

i will agree that it's better than the trailers though.

#

and that i kinda got used to it.

#

especially after cranky showed up.

south moon
#

confusing and pointless?.

#

and it took up a lot of time that could've been used on other stuff in the movie i feel.

#

it also kinda feels like the worst instance of "i love references!!!!" in the movie's plot, imo.

tacit heron
#

It does kinda feel like that

south moon
#

i liked the blue shell koopa conceptually.

tacit heron
#

Like they wanted Mario Kart represented somewhere in the movie

south moon
#

but he doesn't really feel like a character?.

tacit heron
#

And kinda shoehorned it in

south moon
#

fucking ||king bob-omb, who shows up for two seconds at the end of the movie and then fucking dies felt like more of a character, honestly||.

barren spear
#

||I wish we got a scene with the Blue Shell Koopa attacking Mario earlier cause his psycho rivalry with him just comes out of nowhere||
||Like give him a proper reason for him to hate Mario lol||

tacit heron
#

||Bowserā€™s hatred for Mario really came out of nowhere in general||

#

||I think Mario needed to do something to prove his heroism that also makes Bowser realize he can be a threat||

south moon
#

they kept referring ||to mario in such a way that it almost felt like they were setting up for a chosen one plot or something like that?|| if that makes any sense.

tacit heron
#

||Have the Blue Shell Koopa appear beforehand to antagonize some Yoshis or something, and Mario makes quick work of him. He retreats and alerts Bowser, to which he becomes furious and treat Mario more seriously.||

#

||Have it set during the journey to the Kongs montage||

south moon
#

honestly.

#

i think something like that would've worked in-place of the mario kart stuff.

#

have ||bowser treat mario like a joke beforehand, until he does something to bowser's army that causes bowser to despise mario||.

tacit heron
#

||Mario shows off his skills and bravery to the Princess who before was only taking him along out of pity, builds a rivalry with the blue shell Koopa, and Bowser (who previously underestimated him) realize he could actually pose a threat.||

south moon
#

||or like, have bowser only start treating him seriously at the climax, after mario somehow comes back from both his army and the unagi||.

#

||that would also go along with mario's character arc in the movie||.

tacit heron
#

||Bowser learns of Mario through Luigi||

#

||Instead of just being told by Kamek||

south moon
#

||would've also given luigi more screentime||.

tacit heron
#

||Or better yet, Bowser imprisons Luigi just for trespassing. He gets wind of a moustached plumber stomping on his turts, and then decides to take Luigi out of imprisonment to interrogate him.||

south moon
#

so ||peach and toad could get a proper introduction like the rest of the characters||.

#

anyway, my second biggest issue with the movie is ||the licensed music||.

#

idk if that should be tagged or not? but i'm doing it anyway.

#

the ||one at the start, and mr. blue sky i'm fine with, but the rest of them just feel so out of place honestly||.

narrow holly
#

Oh thats definitely my personal biggest complaint

south moon
#

and yeah ||it's a western animated kids movie, it's gonna have licensed music, but like||.

narrow holly
#

Especially after hearing what they replaced

south moon
#

ugghh... ||it feels so out of place in a mario movie||.

#

especially since ||the choices they went with feel so generic||.

#

but, to actual postitives.

#

i love the way the characters are characterised in the movie.

#

it feels so perfect.

#

except for maybe like, cranky? but the rest of them.

#

and the ||character moments (that actually are there) feel really good because of it too||.

tidal ore
#

i fucking adore mario and donkey kong's dynamic

#

unexpectedly my favorite part of the movie

south moon
#

GOD YEAH.

#

i love how they keep like.

#

||teasing the idea of a "redemption" arc for dk||.

#

and then subvert it every time.

tidal ore
#

by the end you can still tell that they bonded with mario over shared experiences but not in traditional saccharine sort of way

south moon
#

i also really enjoy ||the moments where mario and peach actually get to interact as people||.

#

the fire flower field scene, and their talk after ||mario fails the test||.

tidal ore
#

i really like their chemistry as well

#

i like how movie doesnt straight up force them into romance but they do some light flirting

south moon

it's really endearing, and feels so appropriate on both characters' ends.

barren spear
tidal ore
#

THIS KILLED ME

south moon
#

i love the "GOOD PLEASE DON'T" line, personally.

i think mario and dk's banter is probably closest this movie got to level of wit of mario rpg scripts

this and everything coming from bowser's mouth

south moon
#

when she is characterised.

#

she like, actually feels like a leader in the way she acts, but she still gets to act like, nice and supportive to mario when he needs it and stuff, idk.

tidal ore
#

yeah i dont get people who are like "she's too much of a girlboss", she still has her feminine bubbly personality from the games when she's relaxed

#

she's intense because situation is consistently dire

south moon
#

i mean, i also think that personality fits her anyway.

tidal ore
#

its consistently like she was in rpgs

#

she was sassy lol

#

its not a new concept

south moon
#

yeah.

#

even in other spin-offs and even smash she's also kinda like.

#

that.

#

i was gonna say it differently, but idk if it's accurate.

barren spear
#

People being so thrown off about Peach being ā€œtoo much of a girlboss" bothers me cause like
Sheā€™s been like this lol
ESPECIALLY the RPGs like

#

Also people wanting Peach to get kidnapped is weird cause I donā€™t think Mario would want to go on this adventure just to save someone he never met lol
So Luigi being the kidnapped one makes sense
||Although I wish he did more in the movie.||

umbral warren
#

Not to mention that she's the only (main) female in the movie so I'm sure some people would find that concerning

tidal ore
#

yeah

umbral warren
#

Also about Luigi: ||I kinda agree with you. I was kinda afraid given how the movie was going that Luigi wouldn't get much action, but at least he did some stuff toward the end||

tacit heron
#

The main traveling group shouldā€™ve had Birdo

#

That wouldā€™ve solved that issue

#

Wouldā€™ve solved all the issues

south moon
#

i don't want to see illumination birdo.

#

i already don't like how she's designed nowadays, i am not ready for illumination birdo.

tidal ore
#

i want birdo to show up at some point just so certain groups of people will have meltdown over "trans character in a mario movie"

south moon
#

that is true though.

tacit heron
#

I want Birdo to show up because Birdo

barren spear
#

I still want to know what was the point of Lumalee lol

tidal ore
#

no point. just dark humor

umbral warren
#

haha funny nihilistic character

#

I've said this before on another server but I find it genuinely concerning that a character like that is in a movie that a lot of kids are watching

surreal moss
#

Pretty in character, although a little too on the nose

umbral warren
#

I get that it's grittier than most Illumination movies, but like

#

I don't want the children to get the wrong impression

south moon
#

kids will be fine.

#

it's a minor character that barely appears in the movie.

surreal moss
#

(Considering that certain Lumas really love transforming into no longer sentient objects all the time)

#

Not even freaked out about becoming a planet, launch star, n'or a mushroom

barren spear
#

It plays the sax at the end so itā€™s not a big deal lol

south moon
#

not to get back into negatives, but one more thing i feel that should've like.

#

not taken up as much time, imo.

#

is the ||plumbing scene at the start||.

surreal moss
#

Neccessary set up

barren spear
#

Secret Life of Pets reference

south moon
#

it's kinda nice to have ||mario and luigi actually set-up as plumbers|| but that scene kinda drags on way too long for it's own good, tbh.

#

and the fucking illumination dog...

#

that thing looks like it's ripped straight out of secret life of pets.

#

i feel like that scene being shorter would've been fine enough.

#

since most of the opening is already setting up mario and luigi.

novel frigate
south moon
#

also dogs would not get angry at mario and luigi, this is propaganda i do not accept this.

surreal moss
#

The worst thing they ever did in this whole movie was ||Murder Swanky Kong in broad daylight||

#

With an 80's track no-less?!

south moon
#

it would be kinda worth it, if they had like ||had a chain chomp later on or something that acted like the dog in the opening|| but that didn't happen, so that scene really isn't that worth it, imo.

surreal moss
#

But hey, at least it isn't ||Chunky, who isn't dead||

barren spear
#

||There was a Chain Chomp but it only appears in the Raccoon Mario scene I think||

south moon
#

OH ALSO.

#

this is really minor but.

barren spear
#

||But like itā€™s just a quick shot and thatā€™s it||

south moon
#

peach's line where she goes like "||btw if you get hit, you lose the power-up||" feels like.

#

so weird?.

umbral warren
#

I've heard that a bit

south moon
#

it feels way too "video-gamey" which like, yeah it's a video-game movie but.

umbral warren
#

idk how else you would say it

#

unless you like... don't say it at all

#

and just let the visuals do the work

south moon
#

it almost sounds like it comes from a dorkly bit, tbh.

barren spear
#

Oh god

umbral warren
#

Great

#

Now you're making me expect Dorkly's rendition of the Mario movie in 3 weeks or less

surreal moss
#

Wait what does IMDB mean ||Mario's Dad is Charles Martinet?||

tacit heron
#

I donā€™t really see how thatā€™s confusing

surreal moss
#

Just didn't realize it I guess

I'm moreso questioning why Bowser has a Luma to begin with

#

Where did he get it from

hallow shoal
#

We should focus more on the Where did he got a Luma

#

Cuz intention sounds really easy to solve
Luma = Create planets/galaxy/even universe
Bowser + Luma = Galactic empire (+ Peach)

he was in the movie though?.

i thought the ||guy building the karts was funky, no?||.

||don't think that was him - but we Do see him in the background during the rainbow road scene - and also apparently as a picture in DK's house but I don't recall seeing it myself||

Yeah that was not him, it was a massive missed opportunity, I donā€™t know why they didnā€™t make it him

what the fuck

wonder what they would even call any sequels anyway

because The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 is not a great title for a multitude of reasons

I know this is a movie for children but like...
[Ending Spoiler]

||I'm pretty sure mini bowser is going to escape the moment someone gets a little too rough with that cage||

They could just call it super Mario bros 2 and everyone would still watch it lol

also the weird logic of it being The Movie 2

God imagine

The final result was so much better

umbral warren
#

Sounds about right

#

||Should've fought harder against "Take On Me"||

tacit heron
#

||Take on Me was used solely so they didnā€™t have to credit David Wise||

novel frigate
#

they didn't credit any nintendo composers besides Koji Kondo

#

in fact they're basically saying that Koji Kondo composed all the original songs that were rearranged for the movie

still mad about that lol

||just like how the dk rap says "from donkey kong 64"||

#

||still shitty and i wish the film industry had more respect for video game composers but at least it's consistent shittiness||

umbral warren
#

||You could say the same thing about video game voice actors||

#

||Yeah sure, Charles Martinet got his cameo appearance, but||

#

||They apparently used archival footage (i.e. they borrowed some sounds) of some characters (Bowser, Shy Guy, Luma/lee, Yoshi) and didn't give those VAs credit||

#

||I say apparently because I didn't even realize they used Bowser's grunts and roars lol||

#

||not crediting koizumi for yoshi might be an intentional choice since postcredit scenes are usually left uncredited||

#

||but the rest are like. Yeah :/||

#

||really sucks||

umbral warren
#

||That shouldn't be an excuse||

#

||I mean, yeah, spoils the whole effect, but||

#

||People get credited for postcredit stuff all the time||

south moon
#

not that the post credits scene has much effect to begin with, tbh.

You don't even need to spoil the whole thing, just do it like this

||It's about the '67 cartoon cameo||

Yooo

past elm
novel frigate
#

Captain Toad's theme, Gusty Garden Galaxy, any Mario Kart rearrangement (he only composed for MK8D, not the original game or any prior ones), pretty much everything from a Donkey Kong game

all of that credited to Koji Kondo

#

I get he was the sole composer for Super Mario games up to SM64, so on average there's a great chunk of music that indeed is his, but crediting him for every Nintendo theme isn't enough credit

OG Peach DID cameo in The Super Mario Bros. Movie ClearlyYouDontLikeJazz

#

Ok I said it confidently, people will believe again

barren spear
#

Yeah but sheā€™s in another castle unfortunately

#

Hah get it?????????

tacit copper
#

corniest part of the movie was honestly the in another castle joke

soft roost
#

It felt so forced

tacit copper
#

I hate how the toads emphasised so much in the punchline like if they needed to make sure that everyone in the audience understood twice

#

does this count as spoilers actually?
I mean literally everyone expected them to make this joke, it was inevitable

brave quail
#

It was probably the most "yep there it is" moment I had watching the movie

mortal osprey
#

im gonna be watching the movie tomorrow MagolorBehold

#

at least reading the messages above i am prepared for what is hopefully the only joke id actually cringe at

#

hopefully...

tacit copper
#

It really felt like the only "average illumination movie" joke that got in

mortal osprey

also having read the stuff about the music credits
