#Illumination Mario Movie
frigid ingot
the sma inspiration is just a rumor
and now we know for sure it won't have much to do with the plot
stuck ridge
and now we know for sure it won't have much to do with the plot
For sure? Why is that
frigid ingot
because of the casting
stuck ridge
What do you mean?
stuck ridge
The comic has the same ones. Plus it’s not 1-1 it’s only inspired so they might change parts and adapt others
If it’s true
frigid ingot
then it would be no different from any other regular Mario plot
like it doesn't really do anything distinct that could be provably inspired by it
unless the creators admit to it
like if they had action peach it'd be far from the only piece of media that does it
urban root
the comic is wholly SMW centric
and the cast list doesnt have yoshi or yea either kongs
not to mention the koopalings
dreamy tartan
Foreman Spike is just Friendly Floyd trying to avoid the IRS
pliant crane
Okay you really gotta remember that we could get a slightly different interpretation of their characters and personalities. It’s not going to be 1 to 1 with the games. Maybe Mario won’t just be an innocent nice guy this time.
stark igloo
yes i am very much aware of that, i even proposed that idea as a hypothetical not a fact
all of these are just hypotheticals
cinder venture
There's a new mario movie coming out
sturdy dirge
YAAYY!!
fossil bison
it will have chris pratt voicing mario
sturdy dirge
erm
cinder venture
why would you say that
frigid ingot
what does that have to do with mario movie's coming out
sturdy dirge
im shaking
pliant crane
What if they made Seth rogen donkey Kong lmaooo they would never do that right... right??? WOULDNT THEY???
stuck ridge
like it doesn't really do anything distinct that could be provably inspired by i...
Well the writing abs characterization is slightly different than other Mario things
stuck ridge
and the cast list doesnt have yoshi or yea either kongs
It’s not like that couldn’t add them in, most comic adaptations add or change
stuck ridge
What if they made Seth rogen donkey Kong lmaooo they would never do that right.....
You gotta admit Seth fits 10 times better than the DK voice actor from the cartoon… he wasn’t it for me
pliant crane
not to mention the koopalings
I want them so bad 😩
pliant crane
You gotta admit Seth fits 10 times better than the DK voice actor from the carto...
Yeah ik lol
stuck ridge
I want them so bad 😩
Sequel bait trust me
pliant crane
I’d like to think there’s maybe a scene where Bowser has a big minion meeting and they cameo in that scene
stuck ridge
Imagine Mario jumps behind bowser, pulls a axe switch and the end fight is 30 seconds long
pliant crane
Maybe Bowser’s giving some kinda speech about ruling the mushroom kingdom and while he’s talking there’s a quick shot of them listening or something
urban root
they could add them in but then it wouldnt be an adaptation
frigid ingot
adding in DK would alter it pretty heavily
urban root
the implication of ir starting not in the usual mushroom kingdom locale already sets it off on different footing
stuck ridge
they could add them in but then it wouldnt be an adaptation
You know what adaptations are? Especially for comics? Look at civil war from marvel vs the movie. Very different plot but similar feel in terms of a subject. So it’s not wrong to think the base plot of the comic can be same with new elements or changes. How many book movies are changed from the book? It’s not gonna be 1-1 but it could be inspired. Again who knows it was only a rumour anyway
fossil bison
looking up civil war
urban root
my ass when
frigid ingot
mario isn't a comic
fossil bison
urban root
if it doesnt have the things that separate mario adventures from ebery other mario plot then how is it an adaptation of mario adventures
stuck ridge
The way they write mario in the comic is not bad, in my opinion
urban root
no i mean luigi in peachs dress is there too
stuck ridge
its an adaptation of superstar saga
That’s what I want to see most is RPG type stories
fossil bison
oh well yeah
urban root
SMA is just. itself some kind of adaptation of SMW
stuck ridge
https://youtu.be/yJUWGYkIYR4 I like how they sing in this. Illumination, they do like a musical…
They could sing this song in a city before mushroom kingdom, it would fit. Imagine it’s actually kinda well done in the dub in my opinion
cinder venture
guys. illumination will be making a mario movie
urban root
No theyre not fuck you
frigid ingot
what's illumination
sturdy dirge
ever heard of light bulb
pseudo blaze
they're seriously not. What's with you people
fossil bison
pretty sure illumination is unreal engine graphics
frigid ingot
oh like source film maker?
stuck ridge
One of my favourite lines from the comic: Luigi: “Help Mario, I’m swimming in a sea of pipes!”
Mario: “Do the backstroke and get back to work!”
cinder venture
sorry
pseudo blaze
i forgive you
fossil bison
who is
cinder venture
I'm sorry
stuck ridge
If the writing is like this, I’ll be chuckling for sure
I can hear it as Charlie day and Chris actually weirdly
cinder venture
i will be in the seat chortling heartily
stuck ridge
Chucklehucking?
fossil bison
i will be busting my lungs out when I see the company logo screen with the minions in it 🤩
cinder venture
No
urban root
i hope if theyre bringing back spike they address how he dies in wrecking crew 94
pseudo blaze
i would give anything to not hear chris pratt's voice ever again whether it be in life, death, mind, or spirit
fossil bison
he dies?
pliant crane
i hope if theyre bringing back spike they address how he dies in wrecking crew 9...
I’m sorry?? 😭
cinder venture
i hope if theyre bringing back spike they address how he dies in wrecking crew 9...
'i got better' MONTY PYTHON REFRANCE 😂😂😂
pseudo blaze
foreman spike jr is actually the father of the current foreman spike, whose grandfather is the original foreman spike
urban root
construction equipment falls on him when you beat him and like Hes dead like its cartoont but hes dead and theyve honored that, hes never reappeared since
stuck ridge
Luigi is so hungry in this comic opening that he’s more concerned with his lunch box than his brothers face being bitten
frigid ingot
then who's that in wrecking crew 98
cinder venture
Oh Brother! 😅
urban root
his brother
sturdy dirge
YEEOWCHH!
urban root
like the tingle brothers
pliant crane
foreman spike jr is actually the father of the current foreman spike, whose gran...
💀
frigid ingot
oh no wonder he looks different
urban root
hes Foreman Pinch
stuck ridge
i hope if theyre bringing back spike they address how he dies in wrecking crew 9...
When is Mario even cannon to itself? I mean, each game is it’s own cannon to itself and that’s mostly it. Spike will be a new version I bet. I think he’ll be a slimy boss who is kinda shitty
cinder venture
do you think theyll address big man being a descendant of phantamanta in this movie
sturdy dirge
personally im hoping they explain if this takes place in a different universe and if so.. will they be able to cross over?
urban root
well like its an important part of his character
fossil bison
mit you really can gaslight this guy
urban root
chronologically speaking its supposed to have happened around the time were assuming hes show in the film
pseudo blaze
uh oh don't go in the mario lore thread
urban root
so like i hope they show it idk
stuck ridge
He’s a star child half the time, he’s a plumber some, he’s from Brooklyn? He’s not. He’s Luigi’s twin or is he older? Things changed a lot
sturdy dirge
both
vital viper
I'm glad Nintendos confirming the "Jumpman is Mario's father" theory
Although I'm wondering how Luigi fits into all of this
stuck ridge
yea but he always wears red.... his death is important to him
I’m confused why the death is so important
fossil bison
holy shit i'm laughing
cinder venture
the joke of foreman spike
urban root
yea
cinder venture
the joke of foreman spoke (dead)
urban root
the joke of foreman spike (dead)
stuck ridge
Illumination isn’t killing spike in my opinion. But he might be sued or injured for letting a monkey on his work site lol
vital viper
Killed by dry bones
urban root
well see
urban root
hi chatroom im back from the bathroom
cinder venture
if they dont kill spike they're ignoring canon
fossil bison
wrok
stuck ridge
are monkeys not allowed to wrok`work
Not when they kidnap girls and toss barrels
urban root
i left mt phone on the counter
sturdy dirge
foreman spike doesnt kidnap girls
fossil bison
only cranky kong kidnaps girls
stuck ridge
Will Pauline be in this, and if so, will she be a mayor? I hope so
vital viper
It's really crazy how many fan theories Nintendo is adapting. Like how Mario is actually a communist in the movie
stuck ridge
foreman spike doesnt kidnap girls
I’m talking dk or cranky or whoever actually the monkey is
cinder venture
It's really crazy how many fan theories Nintendo is adapting. Like how Mario is ...
based
stuck ridge
It's really crazy how many fan theories Nintendo is adapting. Like how Mario is ...
Matt pat, you can leave
fossil bison
can't wait to see the great ape war on the donkey kong movie
urban root
wtf @cinder venture why did you send messages on my acc
fossil bison
matt pat
sturdy dirge
is communist mario a matt patt theory
urban root
when i was in the bathroom
vital viper
Actually they did confirm they consulted Matthew Patthew when writing this movie
fossil bison
oh cool
sturdy dirge
thatd be kinda hype
cinder venture
wtf <@255932833871167488> why did you send messages on my acc
ahhhh eeeeto...... buehhh :9
vital viper
Hopefully this movie will finally clear up if princess peach is actually a Bee
fossil bison
Hopefully this movie will finally clear up if princess peach is actually a Bee
i don't remember this theory
sturdy dirge
documentary explaining the making of the movie and they show a scene where mario is a little mean to luigi and explain how they were inspired by fan ideas online
vital viper
i don't remember this theory
He had some bullshit theory that basically said that peachette exists because toads can develop into human people like bees can develop into queen bees
Or some shit
sturdy dirge
no thats honestly really cool :D
vital viper
what does human toad look like
New donker
I will not be answering any more questions
frigid ingot
peachette isn't new donker
stuck ridge
I swear to god if the movie has sponge like close ups… like the comic… I’d cry in joy
sturdy dirge
why arent more people talking about this?
stuck ridge
vital viper
They're adding sponge to the movie? Awesome
Glad to see them adapt an iconic fan character
stuck ridge
Goes from cutesy to hyper defined
frigid ingot
see this is what would get me to believe the movie is a comic adaptation
vital viper
Maybe they'll put Eario in the sequel
frigid ingot
but eario is official
vital viper
Oh that is true yeah
stuck ridge
The comic starts with then plumping the pipes at peaches castle. What if they enter the pipe when it shows up after the DK opening and they get hired as plumbers because it’s all they know what to do and then they see peach get kidnapped and go from there’s
fossil bison
they should add sigmario
fossil bison
oh yeah true
frigid ingot
oh that's how that happened
sturdy dirge
the minions are actually frozen in ice during the mario movie bc otherwise they would be working for bowser
sturdy dirge
that isnt toad its a statue
stuck ridge
sturdy dirge
gangnam style
cinder venture
Erm.... :weegee:
sturdy dirge
my jaw hit the fl
stuck ridge
I mean jack black as bowser if written like this? Come on it’s a natural fit
frigid ingot
Finally. Something that actually portrays Mario as an actual hero.
stuck ridge
The movie being a musical would make sense if they adapt the songs from the comics.
A plumber song, bowsers song it tracks…
sturdy dirge
🎤 everything is awesome!!
stuck ridge
sturdy dirge
everything is cool when ur bro is luigi !
stuck ridge
I mean if peach is sassy like this…
I’m in
Never knew bowsers tounge was a heart
Chris Pratt haters would love this
fossil bison
chris pratt haters
stark igloo
aka normal people
stuck ridge
Where is this guy in the cast?
You remember that time mario and Luigi eat yoshi?
I want it in the movie
Twist. Friendly Floyd is just an animated Chris Pratt look alike in the movie
ah yes terminator reference in Mario
pliant crane
Yooo koopalings 👀
fossil bison
five days until we finally know what the movie looks like
timber pecan
Twist. Friendly Floyd is just an animated Chris Pratt look alike in the movie
Wtf he looks like the Fallout nuclear guy in this panel lol
bitter acorn
mario odyssey mario rabbids and luigi’s mansion 3 are peak mario models animation and expression
also guys !!
idk if it’s been posted but
bitter acorn
exciting news
peak pulsar
it's in my favorite color!!
stuck ridge
My guess is this is captain toad in the movie
timber pecan
Man I wish
I'd be exploding in excitement if Captain Toad also makes an appearance in the movie, but eh that's still not confirmed
fossil bison

emmett, star-lord, the guy from onward, and mario

And soon, garfield
stuck ridge
who would the goils be
Koopalings of course
old wave
steep hill
stuck ridge
Ok Mario gets a plunger, Luigi a flash light (hopefully a ghost house from SMW is in this movie) peach has parasol and toad… had fry pan?? Ok. Why not
A van play set and peaches castle play set? Wow. So Mario has a plumbing company in the beginning that has a van like the 1990’s
plain apex
If this is true then this probably isn’t an origin story
Like why would the Lumalee of all things be here
stuck ridge
Wdym? I’m confused how this means it’s not an origin?
Also kart toys? Could Mario kart be referenced in the movie or just toys?
Also lumalee could be a Mario Rabbids tie in, or even Rosalina makes a cameo or end credit scene
stuck ridge
If this is true then this probably isn’t an origin story
Like why would the Luma...
Remember spike is in the movie, sooo likely origins
plain apex
Why is Spike incapable of being in any other context
fossil bison
because unless the movie is absurdly fanwanky there's no reason for him to exist
plain apex
That’s true but I mean in general
fossil bison
he could exist
plain apex
Ok
fossil bison
but we're talking about the movie only
urban root
his One job across the entire franchise (save for golf) would indicate an origin story
plain apex
Then there’s no reason the Lumalee would be here
urban root
like idk what else hed do without it kinda defeating the purpose of having spike
fossil bison
is the lumalee actually for the movie
urban root
i havent watched the video yet bc (nods head over to general1-2) but whats hte source on all these accessories?
plain apex
The happy meal leak says it’s there
urban root
oh are they the happymeal toys
plain apex
Maybe it is fanwanky and we’re all just completely misleading ourselves
pliant crane
Bruh the movie has Spike, Cranky and Kamek. This is absolutely an origin.
plain apex
I know
urban root
if its got mario kart and galaxy and wrecking crew and this and this and that then its like
Damn
plain apex
I’m saying that mostly as a joke
stuck ridge
Why is Spike incapable of being in any other context
Why is a luma? Sams logic. And specifically because he’s from a very early game and never came back
plain apex
The game had a sequel
steep hill
Lumalee could just be there as a little nod to galaxy
stuck ridge
I mean Mario plus Rabbids has lumas too
urban root
lumas come from space
and lumalee is like
The one that gives you food from a shop
weird one to single out
plain apex
Lumalee could just be there as a little nod to galaxy
Why would they warrant an entire happy meal toy though
stuck ridge
weird one to single out
Could be because it stands out as a good toy to spin with the mushrooms or something. That could be it, just made for a fun toy with a gimmick
But yes it’s odd
urban root
i mean unless the happy meals are explcitly for the movie they could just be generic mario toys
why make a toy of something not in the movie
plain apex
Wouldn’t you want your kids meal toys to be characters or things that are more central to the movie
urban root
but theyve done mario happy meals a bunch of times
plain apex
Yeah
urban root
so it could just be generic mario stuff
stuck ridge
True unless the Luma is in the movie and later the end credit has Rosalina coming looking for them imagine
steep hill
Why would they warrant an entire happy meal toy though
maybe they have a big role
plain apex
The Lumalee
urban root
i would say why wouuld the post credits spoiler be a toy but then again super sonic got a happy meal toy so
stuck ridge
Yes exactly
pliant crane
Maybe the lumalee gets a happy meal toy cuz they just wanna market the cute character
plain apex
Feel like a post-credit role would something more like King K Rool
To set up a DK movie idk
stuck ridge
To set up a DK movie idk
Nope I bet it’s wario and waluigi for sure
pliant crane
Wario and Waluigi are 100% the Charles cameos
urban root
i still am not like super convinced of the dk followup rumor but it is there
pliant crane
Yeah I feel like if anything, they’d just do Mario Movie 2
urban root
i mean im not convinced of the source for it
DK movie makes sense given that its hte next big theme park expansion
not to mention DK's presence in this film at all
plain apex
not to mention DK's presence in this film at all
Wonder if the movie will double as an origin for modern DK
stuck ridge
Maybe very very loosely
pliant crane
I still have trouble figuring out how they’re gonna shove all the DK and CK shit in there
The only thing I can think of is the arcade thing with Mario battling young CK
But that doesn’t involve DK
urban root
cranky + spike imply p heavily that theres some kind of origin
youd think they'd cast pauline though
stuck ridge
I still have trouble figuring out how they’re gonna shove all the DK and CK shit...
It’s obvious! They recreate the DK arcade game when spike is bad and DK gets out of a pipe and starts wrecking havoc
pliant crane
I had a stroke reading that
urban root
i feel like cranky would've been a more fucked up surprise to keep up your sleeve than pauline
stuck ridge
youd think they'd cast pauline though
Maybe Pauline is a very brief role so they didn’t go big name. Stil weird too… I mean cranky likely has a very short role so if Pauline is here why not say
stuck ridge
i feel like cranky would've been a more fucked up surprise to keep up your sleev...
Spike is the most weird so far but I’m here for it especially with Sebastian voicing that dude is an Italian comic legend
stuck ridge
Also people just like Pauline more I think
Sorry MIT likes Pauline most, we have to accept we can’t like her as much ourselves. Bow to the true Pauline Stan
frigid ingot
if pauline is there she'll have her odyssey va
which is not worth advertising in the cast list
stuck ridge
if pauline is there she'll have her odyssey va
Who’s to say
frigid ingot
the fact that she's not in the cast list
pliant crane
Tbf she was tails in the sonic movie. She’s no stranger to doing movies
frigid ingot
otherwise she'd have a celebrity voice worth advertising
fossil bison
Tbf she was tails in the sonic movie. She’s no stranger to doing movies
that was colleen o'shaughnessey
pauline is kate higgins
pliant crane
Don’t tails and Pauline have the same voice?
fossil bison
they used to
frigid ingot
yeah kate higgins used to do tails
fossil bison
but tails' voice changed since
pliant crane
When?
fossil bison
uhh
urban root
Sorry MIT likes Pauline most, we have to accept we can’t like her as much oursel...
what
frigid ingot
pauline is in a similar position as yoshi
in that you can only count on them having their vg va if they're appearing in the movie at all
urban root
im not a pauline stan wtf
fossil bison
you are team pauline mit
urban root
Erm... im on team aerith
fossil bison
explain
urban root
weird insect on ur screen
plain apex
I still have trouble figuring out how they’re gonna shove all the DK and CK shit...
My guess is that they have a side-plot going on where Cranky wants to push DK to being like him, following the Bros to the mushroom kingdom to finish the job, only for DK to see he enjoys going his own path
The way this will work is to say that the events of the arcade games were years ago
stuck ridge
im not a pauline stan wtf
Let’s be real aerith is the Pauline of FF7. Right? Lol 😂
urban root
i guess you could string any words together and call it a sentence
stuck ridge
i guess you could string any words together and call it a sentence
Wow what a rude thing to say, I’m joking 🙃
stuck ridge
Mario movie leak?!?!? (Totally not click bait (or totally is but you’ll never know 😉))
dreamy tartan
No no they got a point. Both have brown hair and red clothing.
Same person, essentially
In DK, her dress is pink and her hair looks braided, even...!

Same person, essentially
I mean that profile pic did remind me of Pauline when I first looked at it

stuck ridge
Why do you guys think Chris is a bad choice?
sturdy dirge
not charles martinet
fossil bison
chris pratt is not a voice actor
he was cast not because of his voice acting expertise, of which he has very little, but because he is a famous actor
urban root
he also fits miyamotos vision of mario and not anyone elses
stuck ridge
not charles martinet
That’s true but it was likely not going to be him, sadly
urban root
he views mario as a pratt-esque Cool Dude
which isnt reflected in the games or anything bc he doesn't work on them anymore
fossil bison
i would have been fine with nintendo using the hollywood movie to get a replacement mario for the inevitable time where charles won't be around to voice him
stuck ridge
chris pratt is not a voice actor
Yes he is. He’s done Lego movie and Pixar movie, he’s definitely done some voice acting.
urban root
hes an actor first
stuck ridge
Would you say Tom hanks is bad choice for woody simply because he’s not a voice actor normally?
urban root
hes not a Voice Actor like ppl who do voice acting are
stuck ridge
Most animated movies use Hollywood actors. Heck a lot are great
old wave
<@&959559384302764082>
urban root
his VA experience is doing his normal voice at slightly different levels
stuck ridge
So if they are a good actor they can do it regardless on screen or not.
That’s my point
urban root
the fact that it was an obvious star power choice and not an artistic one is why it bothers ppl
they don't recast spongebob in his movies
marios voice is just as iconic
stuck ridge
he was cast not because of his voice acting expertise, of which he has very litt...
Hollywood strikes again. This may be true to a point, yes. It’s likely the case
stuck ridge
which isnt reflected in the games or anything bc he doesn't work on them anymore
But Mario is badass, and that’s the case in odyssey and other games. A very heroic guy
dreamy tartan
Let’s flip a coin on it
stuck ridge
Honestly with the cape feather and other power ups he’s a super hero
dreamy tartan
Heads Martinet wins, tails Pratt loses
fossil bison
Honestly with the cape feather and other power ups he’s a super hero
with the cape feather he's a superhero in a cutesy way
cinder venture
Heads Martinet wins, tails Pratt loses
/ flip
fossil bison
most games nintendo doesn't even try to make mario badass
fossil bison
but does martinet win
dreamy tartan
Well if Pratt loses then yes
stuck ridge
I think Chris sounds great in the Lego movie, but because it sounds like Chris with a chipper tone people can’t imagine him sounding like Mario. Actors aren’t just their last role or what you remember. They can, if they are good, change up. And so I will not judge too harsh until I hear it. But I like a lot of what Chris does so I’m ok with it. Would it be different if the rock was Mario?
cinder venture
it would be awesome if the rock was mario
fossil bison
it wouldn't be different if the rock was mario
the rock and chris pratt cannot ever make a voice like mario's
stuck ridge
Exactly people would criticize any big name actor as Mario
stuck ridge
Because Mario sounds goofy and any actor trying to serious him or do a version would feel weird regardless
Only actor internet would celebrate because they always do would be Danny Devito as Mario
dreamy tartan
Martinet is the one that gives Mario perhaps the most iconic voice in all of video gaming
cinder venture
danny devito should've been mario are you KIDDING ME
WHAT THE HELL
WE WERE ROBBED
dreamy tartan
Replacing that with Pratt has been a joke long before we even knew the voice cast!
stuck ridge
is first and foremost
Again I go back to woody. Tom hanks isn’t a voice actor yet he’s incredibly good as woody. The rock in moana. Seth Rogan as Bob in monsters vs aliens. Will Ferrell as mega mind. Mike Myers as shrek. Cameron Diaz as Fiona. Robin Williams as genie, Ben Schwartz as sonic.
Not any are voice actors
Yet I think they were solid
fossil bison
was ben schwartz always an actor first and foremost
dreamy tartan
Even then unlike Mario Sonic never had one consistent english VA
fossil bison
don't know about that guy
stuck ridge
None of those were voiced by previous actors
What? So what. Doesn’t matter you were saying it’s because hes not a voice actor. Plus sonic was
dreamy tartan
Because he’s not Martinet
stuck ridge
was ben schwartz always an actor first and foremost
Yes
fossil bison
awesome casting then
dreamy tartan
Also literally my last two messages said Sonic did have a voice actor just never a consistent one
Unlike Mario
fossil bison
well it's much less of an issue to have celebrity voiced characters if that's the first time those characters are voiced
dreamy tartan
Who has had the same voice actor since like. Mario Teaches Typing
fossil bison
although it's still pretty bad
if only because they were picked for money
mit summed it up
stuck ridge
See the thing is that acting isn’t limited to on screen or voice only. If you’re good you can do both. Some only do voice and are in a lot of animation or whatever. It’s not a limitation. Plus yes Hollywood uses big actors in voice roles to sell which sometimes sucks but I think Pixar does great with their choices
fossil bison
pixar may do great with their choices but it's still fundamentally a bad thing
dreamy tartan
Super Mario Movie isn’t being made by pixar
Also yeah it’s fundamentally a bad thing
stuck ridge
And we can’t know until we hear his voice but yes part of why he was chosen was money it always is in big movies these days
fossil bison
yeah and it's bad
stuck ridge
You think super pets would have cast rock just for his talent?
fossil bison
no
stuck ridge
He’s a star with pull they see
vagrant sapphire
And thats the bad thing we're talking about
stuck ridge
So it happens. Is it good? Not necessarily good or bad, but it’s what it is. I still have faith he’s talented enough to pull off a good voice
vagrant sapphire
Placing emphasis on the actors instead of real voice actors
dreamy tartan
It’s bad
stuck ridge
We’ll see I might think he sucks after hearing
fossil bison
it's not like pratt will pull out a very bad voice
stuck ridge
I’ll find out when the trailer comes
fossil bison
that would be bad for anyone at illumination if it were the case
vagrant sapphire
I dont even need to hear to know it's a bad idea
stark igloo
But Mario is badass, and that’s the case in odyssey and other games. A very hero...
he’s a hero but he’s also a Guy and pretty goofy and easygoing, he’s not a DoomGuy
dreamy tartan
It’s disrespectful to both Martinet and voice actors as a whole
stark igloo
definitely
vagrant sapphire
Fax, no print
stark igloo
VA’s are so under appreciated especially when they get replaced by some A-List celeb who cannot voice act
stuck ridge
Placing emphasis on the actors instead of real voice actors
Sure that’s a problem with a lot of Hollywood. But sonic 2 kept tails voice from the games which is great and I hope more do too. That’s my hope for wario and waluigi and Pauline if they ever appear. Keep the OG voices
stark igloo
okay good for sonic 2
vagrant sapphire
Its already a problem with some of the Mario voice cast
stark igloo
literally so many animated films cast some random celeb who can’t voice act
stuck ridge
Its already a problem with some of the Mario voice cast
Look at any movie, it’s the same. It’s how Hollywood is. Not saying it’s how it should be but it’s not surprising
peak pulsar
I think Pauline is the only character I can realistically envision being played by her actual VA. And I still think it's unlikely (if she's even in the film at all)
stark igloo
being complacent isn’t helping
vagrant sapphire
Look at any movie, it’s the same. It’s how Hollywood is. Not saying it’s how it ...

I’m saying the reason is to keep Charles in, and ge does a good wario. Is it weird to keep him as wario and not Mario? Maybe but again I’d take it atleast if nothing

is it really wrong to expect a video game movie to be voice acted by the people who voice act the characters in said game instead of some random celeb like Chris Pratt
vagrant sapphire
I didnt have my hopes up for any mario movie whatsoever that wasnt an OVA

We know Charles has cameos so that’s good atleast, in a Hollywood world

romanelliot you can't ask people if they're excited or optimistic about chris pratt doing mario's voice when no one really likes the fact he's doing mario's voice to begin with

No, should definitely expect better

SNW bowser challenge....
is that the plot. bowser challenges mario to go kart race like in nintendo world???
pliant crane
Kinda sad that it seems like Bowser won’t have his airships. They’d be redundant when he has... whatever that thing was in the trailer.
vital viper
Maybe Bowser turns huge so Mario has to use a kart to basically drive up a race track around Bowser

||lumalee is toad’s pet dog||
toad only feeds him coins made by those shitty p switches because he sucks
pliant crane
||Lumalee|| is god in the movie confirmed. Mario will die and there will be a scene of his soul talking to him. He will be voiced by Charles Martinet 
peak pulsar
I think it's possible the plot will involve Bowser conquering various kingdoms and placing castles in place of their old ones.
Like the Penguin Kingdom.
So instead of traveling to different biomes in the mushroom kingdom, it might have the bros travel to different kingdoms and take destroy Bowser's castles.
pliant crane
I just love that there’s different kingdoms here. World building for the WIN!
peak pulsar
There might be ||a Luma settlement (think Rosalina's Ice World) with some Luma king or something. And that's where Lumalee would come into play||
pliant crane
I was worried it would just be, New Donk, Mushroom, Koopa
dreamy tartan
They ask “where did you get him?” and toad says “yeah i found it eating methane in an alleyway i thought it was a really sick pug and in retrospect i wish i put it down”
At the end of the movie ||Lumalee|| goes back to the cosmos after they recover all the Power Stars from Bowser and Toad flips the bird at him while saying “SAYONARA SHITHEAD”
this is my prediction for the mario movie

There's a thread with Donkey Kong and the leaked ||Lumalee||

its funny how the simple fact there’s a penguin kingdom with a penguin king is like the third greatest worldbuilding the mario universe has gotten post-2004
fossil bison
and it's not even like really fleshed out either
you get to see the entirety of the kingdom and what it looks like and there's nothing distinctive in it

that penguin kingdom looks like it has no roads outside lol
just smack in the middle of a wasteland

this is all they do

oh the penguin kingdom is on the south pole while the snow kingdom is on the north
peak pulsar
it's also possible it's not actually a full-on kingdom, but a "kingdom within a kingdom" or something.
Like maybe SMB3-style with smaller Kingdoms inside the greater Mushroom Kingdom
restive gyro
and it's not even like really fleshed out either
i’m being facetious but i meant it as a slight to the mario universe circa 2005 to 2022 than a praise towards the new movie
dreamy tartan
I wish the penguins looked more Mario-y
Like i know the base designs come from Mario but with the design/animation they kinda just look even more like Generic Penguin
This could’ve been the design for penguins in like minions and i wouldnt notice
dreamy tartan
yeah but they look More like generic penguin
Especially with all of them being baby size
frigid ingot
yeah that doesn't help
I think they should've modeled the king after the coach or elder from galaxy

Bumpties wouldn't have fit that scene imo

They’ve never really been consistently sized anyway

the Odyssey one is just supposed to be a bird that looks like a penguin

So a Penguin
dreamy tartan
As opposed to penguins, which are amphibians
dreamy tartan
I think so
wanton kite
if so theres a p large gap between galaxy penguins and bumptys in terms of proportions
peak pulsar
I mean that it's not the same type of penguin. It's just a regional flying bird that looks like the other penguins
dreamy tartan
They live in icy places, have webbed feet and flippers

I like that not only is Bowser’s Castle flying, but the entire lava land around it
