Illumination isn't the best studio but their animation always looks goof, and I think it looks even better here with Nintendo at the helm.

>>136657053
I thought the voice acting was serviceable. I did like Jack Black as Bowser, I thought he was funny. I don't really like Seth Rogen's politics but I did like his portrayal of Donkey Kong. 

As for Chris Pratt, I understand people are mad that Charles Martinet wasn't Mario but I think if he was Mario in this movie, the high pitched fake italian voice would have been really grating for an hour and a half. It works well in video games because the dialogue is short, not so much in a movie.
--- 136657075
I like that they can create the most generic Illumination goyslop ever with the biggest Mary Sue in ages and you’ll all Stockholm Syndrome with how great it is because Mario skins are plastered over it

--- 136657093
>>136657075
I agree she was a Mary Sue, but she wasn't portrayed as a totally perfect, flawless girlboss like Rey, and the movie didn't lecture me for my original sin of being a straight white male, so I'll take it.

Illumination's animation is insanely good. It's everything else that's the issue.
--- 136657122
>>136657075
Saw a YouTube comment say that allegedly, an insider who worked on the film said that a different draft of the movie did have Princess Peach basically hijack the movie as the main character, have her save the day at the end, and portray Mario as a "bumbling idiot", but Nintendo saw this and demanded that they changed it to have Mario be the main character and the hero of his story. 

I'm glad Nintendo tightened their leash on this one.

>What's wrong with the animation?
It's utterly sterile. It's technically sound and that's all it is. It makes no efforts to stand out, there's no interesting compositions or stylized fuckin' ANYTHING. It's the definition of "serviceable." A zoomer would call it soulless.

>>136657074
The casting is fine, Illumination is well known for stunt casting and they honestly could have done much worse, but the voice direction is fucking atrocious. I can't fathom how shit a VD has to be for Fred fucking Armisen to turn in such a dogshit performance, or to put such heavy autotune on Jack goddamned Black. There's even an interview with Pratt and Day about how they kept trying to find character voices for the brothers and the director kept stopping them.

That's a shame. 

At the beginning of the movie, they had these italian voices they were trying to put on in their commercial, and they had a whole joke about it.

It would have been fun if the director just let them do their thing the whole time.

It's not subversive politics, it's the most basic form of the hero's journey. Because Illumination are hacks.

Faggot, it's literally his normal voice. What the fuck are you talking about "portrayal"? If you mean the way DK acted, you have the writers, storyboarders and animators to thank for that. His voice was just Seth Rogen's talking voice, he couldn't even be bothered to throw some ape sounds in there. His portrayal of Donkey Kong was being Seth Rogen.

Charles Martinet's Mario is too comical. The voice wouldn't have worked for the sad/serious scenes.

My favorite part was the OST. The composer did a great job incorporating various Mario songs, which made it all the more jarring when Illumination couldn't help themselves and put in a bunch of pop songs out of nowhere.

Princess Peach's entire screen time is just her being a boss man in charge with a vagina, Luigi's entire screen time is just him being a weak beta bitch, Mario's entire screen time is just him being the biggest meek faggot a human can be, you can't get more political, misogyne and misandric then that in 2023, it's textbook modern left propaganda.
Bowser turning out to be just a massive fucking simp for peach was just the little cherry on top to make sure any sort of human that isn't a faggot would cringe.

>>136657122
I fucking believe this, 100% no question asked, the movie itself answer any doubt there might be to this.

Did we both see the same movie? He and Luigi literally beat the ever living daylights out of Bowser at the end of the film.

IMO there's enough of an arc in Mario and Luigi being "fish out of water" without the "they're losers" beats. It's a hat on a hat.

Peach was never the motivation itself in all cases, she always was supposed to be a mean to an end for bowser and she never was, not a pretty little girl.

It is a mediocre movie like all Illuminations movies. It is by no means terrible, the animation and the voice acting is good. It is just complete corporate slog made to arrested development fanbase that is the Nintendo fans and deprived of anything that would make it interesting.
It has no original music, just the same 80's pop music that is in every movie. The movie, its character and plots are inoffensive and basic as possible. Nothing in the movie feels special.

Thematically most of movies run time was spend presenting Nintendo assets just like the new Rescue Rangers movie did for Disney, but it was even worse because it did not even try to do anything different.

With out Nintendo characters the movie could not stand up on its own and it feels like the entire movie was designed by committee instead of made by people with passion.

I actually am going to disagree. It had its “Oh yeah this is Illumination” moments like the poorly used pop songs, but overall it was way above Illumination’s typical output.
The effort put into making Mushroom Kingdom a fully fledged world and not just a generic landscape with an occasional Easter egg, the surprisingly great climax that actually used the Brooklyn setting in a way to emphasize the threat, the strong balance between the humor and the tension, and overall showing what makes Mario and Luigi such likable characters (not to mention Bowser and the Koopas were great villains) are all aspects well above the typical Illumination project. It had moments that definitely felt standard like the music and the drawn out dog scene, but I really think this was a strong step in a better direction (one they’ll regress from but still). 

Is the movie flawed? Yes. But is it on the same level as crap like the Seuss movies and Minions? No, definitely better than that.

This feels like complaining specifically to do it. Bowser has ALWAYS been obsessed with Peach. In Mario Sunshine he literally kidnapped her and told his son she was his mom then tried to force them into being a family. Even then, the line in the end about him finally being happy shows that even more so than Peach he’s just trying to desperately fill a void in his heart. Not to mention it allows him to be funny and silly as well as threatening without it being jarring.

And Mario was absolutely the driving force of anything successful, not Peach.
>Peach gets denied Kong’s army and is about to leave. Mario refuses, then risks his life in a fight to get them, which he wins.
>Bowser sicks the Banzai Bill on the Mushroom Kingdom, which Mario stopped, not Peach, saving everyone.
>When Peach “beat” Bowser it was obvious he wasn’t 100% trying and it took a surprise attack just to stall him for a bit. When he actually got serious not only did he break free, but he tanked Peach AND Donkey at the same time. They literally lost until Mario came back out to keep fighting Bowser. Then when you realize how much of a beating Bowser took just to beat him (not even knocking him out or killing him), you realize just how much nobody was going to stop him unless Mario got the star.
Literally everything was Mario, outside of Peach pushing the plot forward and stalling Bowser long enough to save people.

Literally the point was that she didn’t. She taught him how to navigate, but Mario’s steel will is what made him special. Peach lost in the end, Peach was willing to leave the Kongs without getting the army, Peach couldn’t hold off Bowser for more than a few minutes at most. Mario spent the whole movie going farther than her by virtue of being Mario, a guy who won’t quit even if he’s not immediately good at something.
--- 136664679
>>136662754
Nah, in the movie she clearly had depth to her status as princess with her baby flash back and actually possesed wisdom intelligence, and cunning(as well natural fighting prowess to rival Bowser) in combat as she planned to escape from Bowser the second she offered to be his prisoner before the wedding. Game peach gets helplessly forced into Bowsers schemes and plans due to her lack of being smart or capable of defending or outsmarting her captors. Leading to her being kindnapped and helpless to his whims until Mario comes. Its obvious whos superior, its movie Peach.

Wrong, Peach had Biwser dead to rights, but she choose to proritize saving the prisoners from the lava instead of killing Bowser once and for all. She defeated king koopa all by herself but the plot needed Mario and Luigi to get the definitive victory against him.
--- 136664903

Bowser being stuck in a situation he broke out of when he got serious enough isn’t “dead to rights”, anon. That’s called being stalled.
And if you honestly think Peach could’ve killed him then you didn’t see the climax where he shook off being Super Saiyan punched hundreds of feet up into his airship, which was so intense that it cracked the ship in two. Or how when he took down Peach and Donkey together.
She sprung a trap, he didn’t go all out, she froze him, then he broke out.
Also, Peach stalled the prisoners dying. Donkey and Mario saved the prisoners.

How was she going to push him in? How do you even know the lava would kill him? In the games he takes literal lava baths and in the movie we didn’t even see anything that can legit kill him, just beat him down enough to be hurt.
--- 136666233
>>136666053
Again, the plot had peach do the active focus of being able to stop bowser and his forces for a short time and stall the prisoners from dying from lava, she could and did beat bowser and from thst stand point could have just escaped and collected more power ups in case Bowser and his minons decided they wanted her persued. But course Mario showed uped on time and her role was done. Peach did win against the main villain. But again plot needed her to nerf her so Mario can become Super Mario.

So basically you are mad that she did anything of accomplishment. She didn’t save the prisoners, she was only able to stall Bowser and still lost to him in the climax, and wouldn’t have stopped the Banzai Bill from wiping out her kingdom, but because she did anything notable it’s bad, and if she didn’t do something it’s “nerf”.

--- 136667860
>>136666552
Paper mario is when peach is the best. She doesnt do combat but helps mario in other ways. Peach doesnt have to charge in with a spear to attack bowser, but lets mario defend her instead. theres no point in mario coming to the rescue if peach was capable of getting out of the situation in the first place.
--- 136668093
>>136667417
>She didn’t save the prisoners
She did stop bowser thus the gear, she was going to save but again plot had to have Mario do something

>she was only able to stall Bowser and still lost to him in the climax

Everyone was losing to bowser, even Mario himself. She was capable of fighting Bowser without getting a scratch while Mario had to get pummeled until plot star came.

>and wouldn’t have stopped the Banzai Bill from wiping out her kingdom, but because she did anything notable it’s bad, and if she didn’t do something it’s “nerf”. Come one now, anon.

Again, plot. She did more enough to prove shes Marios equal but again its Super Mario Bros. and she has to be nerfed to make Mario be the hero against everything shes fought. 

She did fine, she just didnt win fully most of the time. She did foiled bowsers own kidnaping of her and beat him to the point she coud escape or retrive the power up star from while he was contained but again plot.

Again, you’re mad she did anything helpful and action oriented. You’re just repeating what you’ve already said and was countered. If anything you said was true Peach would’ve been the one to straight up beat Bowser, not Mario, and she would’ve actively saved the prisoners, which she did not.

So by your logic, since theyre are mascots or props with no limit in how used, then Peach and the rest of the princesses have no boundries to what they are capable of as playable or functional roles in medium like this movie, thus Peach is also a elite and highly trainered fighter and platforming master on Mario and Luigis level. Hell pauline can be stronger than mario in fighting and platforming, she just doesnt want to.

Good to know. It just depends on what the medium is. Just like Mickey and Friends and what they do in kingdom hearts.
--- 136669051
>>136668636
>they are mascots 
correct
>props with no limit in how used
incorrect
They have defined traits and roles but are still mascots first and foremost, you won't see Mario or Peach used as villains or Bowser being portrayed as a weak underdog because their characteristics still fit them into specific portrayals. Everyone in the cast was tweaked for the film, Peach's is just more drastic to fit how the movie is more action-oriented, and even then she's still secondary to Mario
--- 136669393
>>136669051
>Bowser being portrayed as a weak underdog 

Pretty sure that has happened in smash bros. 

>Everyone in the cast was tweaked for the film, Peach's is just more drastic to fit how the movie is more action-oriented, and even then she's still secondary to Mario

As long their characters remain basic and identifiable, they can elevate their roles to more than their original portrayals, its happened in all medium because according to you their mascots and icons, it doesnt matter what they do as long as they are the identity theyre always seen as. Movie Peach is still the same compassionate, graceful, loving, quirky royal ruler shebis from the games, but now a royal badass and mario and bowser's fighting peer.(bsatbwwnrhfthag).

The mario bros games focused on the mario bros themselves, the movie focuses on mario and peach as two perspectives mario in a new world, peach working with mario to save her kingdom. Its refreshing we get mario lore expanded from the main female.

Which are additional problems in and of themselves. Why do so many retards defend shoddy writing by pointing out the shoddy writing. It's like they think this was an actual series of events.

No? The only time Smash even had anything resembling a story with character roles was Subspace, and he was one of the main antagonists there

She isn't though, her portrayal was altered compared to what she's actually like in the games. She doesn't use magic, instigates fights and probably shouldn't be in a dress and heels given how much her attitude is changed. Again, it works for the film to make her action-oriented, but she's not the same Peach, and that's fine for what they're going for, but I prefer game Peach overall and I don't see why that's an issue

Still doesnt effect her character or what shes known for. She still peach, but shes not a kidnapped rape fetish everyone wants her to be.

>She doesn't use magic, instigates fights and probably shouldn't be in a dress and heels given how much her attitude is changed.

Wrong, this started in Super Mario 3d world. The movie is just tributing that.

>Again, it works for the film to make her action-oriented, but she's not the same Peach, and that's fine for what they're going for, but I prefer game Peach overall and I don't see why that's an issue

All Mario games are action oriented, stop making excuses to why Peach cant be as action oriented, because you want her to be a plot device.

>The movie is a separate canon to begin with, everything about the Kongs should make that obvious

Its a new way of looking at the old established lore of the games. A story and lire built by a love letter of what the games created. I prefer it to the games lore.

>You know what else she is in Smash? A FUCKING TOY! Good lord I know I should know better than talk to Smash fags but do you really not know the ending to your own fucking game?

I want her to use her smash moves in canon, if a toy can use her likeness as a fighting master, so can she. And again, its an example of Peach being outside her comfort zone and still being accepted for trying something new with her.

Neither is rpg or the sports games, it doesnt define what she can do outside of canon or spin offs. And her abilities in the movie draw influence from smash and 3d world and apparently some flash parodies.

>Because out of the four playable characters she is the slowest and the weakest. Her strength has always been her magical capabilities, not anything physical

In some games shes the fastest, most agile and stamina prone. Shes the finesse to marios brute.

>Never said that either, you're mental

You want her to stay a trophy wife to the hero and the helpless weakling in playable games. This is not the case as shes better in some games than others in stats, in this movie shes treated like a peer/equal not a prize for the hero or villain.

Movie Peach in how she acts, her mannerisms, her body language and how she fights has a plethora of clones in current media, both in games and animated movies. What game or movie in the past decade or two has had any character like Game Peach (outside of Mario itself)? Besides making her character have less unique attributes within the media is the opposite of less generic, movie Peach lost a ton of quirks that actually made her stand out from the cast before, replacing them with attributes we've seen time and time again in current media, objectively making her more generic not just within the greater realm of female heroines but even within the Mario cast itself.

No anon is actually pretty correct that in nearly every game Mario has to defeat Bowser via power ups, or using the environment against him (cutting the bridge, throwing him into bombs, tricking him into smashing through the floor, throwing his wind up bombs back at him etc) or using some kind of gimmick of the game like the water gun pack or whatever. Mario can almost never take out Bowser with his basic punches or jumping attack or stand up to him directly.
--- 136672551
Generally speaking I liked it but it's easy to see the flaws. Since it was successful and they were setting up some cinematic universe type shit I'm sure we're bound to see more. It's never ever tier but I would love to see their take on Wario existing in the WarioWare setting. Pretty funny stuff

Its still refreshing compared to game peach which as a fan cant really put her any agency in fanworks outside of being coomerbait or a prop to make her sexy or cute.

>What game or movie in the past decade or two has had any character like Game Peach (outside of Mario itself)? 

Theres that north watertribe chick who had moon powers and served as a mcguffian for Sokka in Avatar the last airbender.

Again you cant accuse her typecast generic if she was not known for having distinct characterization or personality to begin with. No one in my years as a mario fanbiy held Peach in high esteeem for her character and personality, kinda like Mario. At least Peach in the movie had a relatable side to her alongside Mario. While Mario and Peach acted like Mickey and Minnie.

At least Peach's capabilities made sence contextually. She was raised in the mushroom kingdom, knows all of its workings, and was trained since she was a literal infant to take advantage of her skills and abilities. Is she a mary sue, yeah, but she isn't the main focus of the story and at the end of the day she isn't the one who saves everyone it's a joint effort with Mario and Luigi being the ultimate heroes by the end which is all the more rewarding seeing how helpless they were at first.

It helped a lot that she wasn't insulting or obnoxious in her capability, the story had plenty for Mario to accomplish on his own merits and she never scoffed at him or his efforts.

It's not refreshing for a character that used to be more distinct, especially compared to current media depictions, to end up less distinct and more like other current media depictions. You don't know what "refreshing" means
>which as a fan cant really put her any agency in fanworks outside of being coomerbait or a prop to make her sexy or cute.
Fanworks have nothing to do with official depictions. Who cares how a character is portrayed in fan art? Completely irrelevant
>Theres that north watertribe chick who had moon powers and served as a mcguffian for Sokka in Avatar the last airbender.
Honestly never finished watching Avatar so I'll take your word for it, but considering Avatar came out in 2005 I'd say that's a pretty good gap, almost 2 decades
>Again you cant accuse her typecast generic if she was not known for having distinct characterization or personality to begin with.
She does though. No matter how much you claim she doesn't she does. Play any Mario game and it's very easy to observe how Peach is, whether she's just a damsel, in a spin-off/sporting, or proactively a heroine. Just because you don't like her characterization doesn't mean she doesn't have one. The Mario cast are very simple, easy characters to figure out. To say say any of them don't have any character is just cope.

Peach has been a playable character in platformers, you can win mainline Mario games playing as Peach

Her action scenes were not in violation of Mario canon

I’ve been thinking up ideas for a future movie for fun, and I think it’s inevitable that they introduce Wario and Waluigi, as well as Daily. Double the plumbers and princesses Like W and WL see how popular and successful Mario and Luigi are so they decide to become plumbers, but are effectively scam artists. At one point they decide to ruin Mario and Luigi’s reputations in other to make themselves look better so they dress up as the two and start running amok, and despite not really looking all that like them people still buy it and turn on M and L.

She has a typecast 1d trait, not a personality or character. That implies she acts with compariative distinction as a character with agency and perspective(even then all the female princesses have the same kinda of femininity she has with no sort of notable characterization to tell them apart). Game Peach is a silent and otherwise bland token damsel role and has like you said a simple set of quirks consistent to her generic concept through out the series, but that doesnt make her a actual individual.

She wasn't. 

She got sucked into the Mushroom kingdom as a baby. The Toadstools raise her as their own. Taught her how to gain powerups & abolities. She eventually trained Mario. You could really sense a connection between Mario & Princess Peach in the movie

No. She helped negociated the Kongs to join against the Koopa, but Mario was the one took the biggest risks.
>Did peach showed Mario how to be fucking Mario or not?
Yeah, she trained him the same way the Toadstools trained her. The movie goes in depth into Princess Peach's backstory, but the main focus of the film is Mario.

But their immediate response was to cower and run away. They didn't even try to defend themselves. Toad was suppose to be special because he was brave enough to even fight. It's not like Peach can defend a whole kingdom...or maybe she can cause "girlboss" and all.

--- 136685665
>>136685499
Cinematography becomes dishonest when it betrays itself for same sort of self indulgence you see in a video game cutscene (it looks like assasin's creed II). It's dishonest as it is clearly unmediated by Scorceses's aesthetic pulse (of which there is little) and attempts to reach for grandeur in a world of cheap video game virtue graphics and shitty epileptic colour deisgn created to appeal to people below the age of 30. If you think I'm being ironic then you are clearly that same audience which damns any thought as contrarian when it simply runs perpendicular to their idle minded capeshit meta narrative.

Please don't jump into arguments you clearly do not understand. There's a reason no one was angry at Peach being playable in the very recently released Mario + Rabbids (one of her best portrayals as of recent, by the way)
--- 136687847
>>136657017
That's my main problem with it.

As a movie that pays homage to the history of Mario it's filled to the brim.

As a movie that is attempting to be something that is meant to be watched it's completely forgettable.
--- 136687953
To me this movie illuminated the difference between "faithful adaptation" and "acknowledging the source". This is the latter, possibly to the detriment of actually being a competent movie sometimes.

Sonic throws itself on the other end of the spectrum but at least because of that it feels like a movie that has some meat to sink one's teeth into, even if the source is not deeply respected.

>>136686256
Ripley is not a girlboss Im going to put a facehugger on you
--- 136688588
>>136657303
But Mario's skills throughout the movie were basically being able to swallow a mushroom. Whereas Peach was stronger than anybody but Bowser without any power up. 

So, crazy thought here, rather than going through all the mess of getting Mario a powerup so that he can barely keep up, uh, give it to Donkey Kong and have him wreck Bowser? He put a good fight without any power ups already. Or you, Peach, you take the power up and try not to do a 1v100 so that you actually have an easy win?

Mario was pathetic, and that's the woke part of the movie. Cannot let the white man be capable. Mario was literally Luigi, Luigi was Peach, and Peach was Daisy. There was basically no Mario in this Super Mario movie.
