https://youtu.be/hvQUTfsnXY4 Some of the voices are off, and some of those jokes didn’t land for me (Cleo’s overreaction for one). Nice that there’ll be some new characters. No Ghandi that I saw, looks like he got replaced.

Just got out of the Mario movie. It loving ruled and I immediately preordered the 4K off Amazon and the special edition Star Tin Blu-Ray from Walmart. Nintendo said they'd be up to making more movies if this one does well so I'm REALLY hoping it'll do buckets of money for them because I want to see Yoshi. Since Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt is the first video game I ever played, this was better than the Sonic movies for me and I absolutely loved those too. Bowser singing caught me off guard but I should've known better...it's Jack Black for gently caress's sake. But still loved it...and he gave Bowser some amazing pipes in both times he sung. He even wrote the song! Also the piano cover on Kamek's fingers scene felt very dark for Nintendo haha. Loved it all and must have more. Might see if my friend wants to go this weekend before Easter.

I was super gutted and really worried to find out that the brief appearance Yoshi made in the trailer was literally the only appearance in the entire movie!

This nugget from The Guardians review exemplifies the issue. Apparently if you look it up, pretty much every critic who's savaging the Mario movie gives fawning reviews to the MCU.

I'm definitely wondering if it's an animation thing then or something else. Like not viewing these more simple (and as Robindaybird said, sincere) movies as "proper". Robindaybird posted:Ah yes the 'It's only trash if it's animated' Funny thing is that I actually do love the MCU movies and wished the DC ones would lean more into that light hearted absurdity and whimsy of being comic book movies instead of feeling dour and cynical. If not an animation thing, I think it's an issue of it being "proper" films that discus more "complex themes and topics". doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Apr 6, 2023 |

I'm with 7th Guest I know millenials are much more fond of Mario than Minions but why are people defending a movie from critics when almost no one has seen it (other than critics). It would be one thing if people had seen the movie and could actually disagree with the critics, but they haven't  edit: also it's not, like, absurd to suggest that some kids media is deeper and more complex than others. Nobody is going to say Ice Age 5 and Spirited Away are equal. mycot fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Apr 6, 2023 |

It would be one thing if people had seen the movie and could actually disagree with the critics, but they haven't Heck, based on a lot of the critic reviews I've read (both positive and negative) it comes off like the movie seems to expect the viewer to already be a Mario fan in a way that sounds like it could be pretty rough if they're not coming at it from that perspective. Doesn't sound like a case of "pretentious" critics or critics hating on animation or w/e. Srice fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Apr 6, 2023 |

“First good video game adaptation” is the “first gay Disney character” discourse but for video gaymes as noted the first video game adaptation that was nailed was super Mario bros in 1993

Alhazred posted:It kinda helps build the narrative that even though a woman might be more competent, her role is still to support the less competent man that gets all the spotlight. Maybe watch the movie and you'll find out! vvv: Yeah, but that also sums it up. Peach doesn't refuse good help when she needs it, and Mario shows he's able to learn fast, endure unpleasant things, and keep on practicing until he gets better. He's basically her sidekick, and equally grateful for her help and guidance in an unfamiliar world. Actually kinda interesting with them being humans in the Mushroom Kingdom; It seems implied that humans are actually larger, stronger and more athletic than most of the various sentient species of that world, besides the Kongs and Bowser himself.

Even if Mario's painted as the hero, the others have their own role to play and are not diminished as side-kicks.

Mario movie is extremely average but I still really enjoyed it because of Nintendo kid since age 4 bias and a significant amount of good references and easter eggs, as well as a mostly excellent voice cast (and even Pratt is fine tbh! the trailers showed off most of his worst deliveries!). Really liked the visuals/designs too, and overall more jokes landed than didn’t. Biggest issue were the story being too generic and paper-thin, Luigi disappearing for around 35 minutes (the movie is so short they could have done a sub-plot where he escapes and then accidentally ends up in a spooky mansion or idk something [although probably better if they save that for a more substantial role in a sequel]), and worst of all those goddamned loving garbage post-Shrek excruciatingly obvious needledrops. Why the gently caress would you do this, especially when 1. the score is fuckin fantastic and 2. there are so many other great pieces of Mario-adjacent music to crib from. Just so depressing they follow that post-Shrek trend even when adapting a franchise with such timeless iconography. Bah.

Well the other option is she’s just a damsel in distress and doesn’t do anything except be Mario’s prize so… Yeah sorry princess peach isn’t going to be the main character in a Super Mario Brothers movie.

somehow, when I saw this trailer months ago I thought it was related to Princess Mononoke in some way, because that film ended with a kind of dawn of industrialization and I thought it would be a kind of Avatar series 1 to series 2 kind of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhTrg0c1Q5k anyway, I found out it's actually a completely unrelated series from 2007 and it's frickin' incredible. I've only watched the first two episodes but I've never seen anything else put together like this. If you're a fan of animation I recommend you try and watch it.

the Mononoke movie is supposedly out in Japan in Feb '23 but not sure when international distribution (if it's even picked up yet) will be. The original series is definitely worth watching.
