mario film trailer

[BIG ASHLEY]

wanted the clout of making a thread on a current event for once

watched this live in mfcord with the lads. i was pleasantly surprised that it was good. naturally, it stopped being good when mario actually appeared (for as little as he was actually in it - do they have so little confidence in their leading man that they feel the need to minimise him like this?)

anyway post your thoughts et cetera

Is going to be so good that the whole NCU will be voiced by Chris Pratt.

 

[ThatOneSpork]

Chris Pratt works okay as the voice in my opinion, but I feel like he would be a bit better if he had more husk in the voice. More grit. More like he'd been breathing in the sawdust and normal dust from construction work. You know what I mean?

 

[BOTW Enjoyer]

My main problem is WHY ARE BOWSERS EYES SO TALL they are supposed to be short and squinty not big round cartoon eyes, also Mario’s face is kinda uncanny. Everything else is better than expected tho

 

[cheesesir]

They really hired the Club Penguin Designers for this one huh

 

[Bug Maniac Aydon]

I honestly, no joke, wish they chose Marc Graue for the mario voice

I haven't heard his voice in this movie but i've heard Pratt's voice in Lego Movie and it doesn't sound like a mario voice

Does he sound different in the trailer i'm yet to watch it

 

[antemortem]

I hope Toad dies as the emotional climax of the film.

 

[BIG ASHLEY]

i hope toad dies just like. in general. i despise that little fucker he always beats me in mario kart and i HATE HIM

 

[boo836]

i wish Danny DeVito was playing Mario like God intended

casting Chris Pratt to pretend to be Italian-American feels wrong

Too many Toad haters here. Hope he has a lead role in the movie along with Mario.

I like that Kamek is Bowser's right hand man (or Koopa). Wasn't sure if they'd go w/ this approach since his appearance has been inconsistent throughout the games, but I'm glad he's in the movie. Hopefully he references the events of Yoshi's Island.

Cool to see Bowser take over Penguin Kingdom. I am also pretty sure that those Penguins are from Mario 64, which is a great touch (especially since we haven't seen those guys in a while). It also seems like Bowser is collecting Power Stars like in Mario 64 and Galaxy, which is pretty neat since I thought they would mainly stick to the earliest Mario games and titles as reference material.

Chris Pratt at Mario is a bit whatever. He feels a lot more like the Mario from the Super Mario Bros Super Show rather than the one from the games. I like Mario more as a silent protagonist who occasionally spouts some gibberish though, so his appearance in this movie was always going to be jarring to me, regardless of who did the voice acting.

Overall, pretty impressed with this trailer. I thought Illumination would play it extremely safe and just reference the basic Mario stuff, but they seem to be incorporating a lot of elements from Mario's history, which is wonderful.

 

[Let's go shuckles]

I've changed my mind. I hope the emotional climax of the film is mario throwing the baby penguin off a cliff like he does in mario 64.

Agree with this. I want Toad to be some drunk fatass who lives alone in his tiny toad house, but at the end he turns into a rich entrepreneur with a huge toad mansion. Overall i want to see some character development, not some game of thrones season 8 petty shit.
