OK seth
Is that pointy bit part of his skull?
Yeah it is, same deal as jimmy neutron pretty much.
Yes
ha ha gross
I like the Mario movie but the designs were easily the worst part of the movie. Some characters like Bowser and Peach looked fine but Toad, Mario, DK, and Bowser's army look like garbage.
Peach's DSL got nerfed
what was wrong with bowser's army?
You mean those weird, ugly blowup doll lips? She still has big lips in the movie, they just don’t look like they belong on a fish.
lol homosexual
Lord Fredrik's boss fight is a blatant K. Rool reference, almost shamelessly so
DK
DONKEY KONG
His design is no different. Seth Rogen fricking sucked though.
DK was a bit annoying, but his relationship with Mario was the only thing that actually had any progression and growth in the movie so I guess I'd agree he carried the second act, at least.
>Nintendos current design of DK.
Is not nintendo, is angl*ids trying to fix japanese DK
yeah. miyamoto's japanese DK is different from the DK most people are familiar which was made for donkey kong country by rare, a british developer
Does he still get royalties from them using that DK design?
Rare didn't get credited for the Donkey Kong music, so probably not
Its a mix of both, Miyamoto and Rare
"Miyamoto" tends to really be Kotabe
Great game
>you will never be a Kong living an idyllic life of driving karts and being monke in the Jungle Kingdom
Hopefully we'll see more of that in the eventual DKC spin-off
This was the DKC spin-off. DK was only in this movie to promote the Universal park expansion with the DK coaster. The fact that they included him despite outright ignoring DK's role in Mario's origin story from the arcade game is a dead giveaway. The purpose of the DK content has been served.
Glad you made it here, DK schizoposter
I have not been proven wrong.
They already had a base monkey model for extras. It doesn't take as much to doll up some choice cameos from those.
>I have not been proven wrong.
Which is why you need to keep repeating everywhere
Meledandri made it sound like they simply wanted to work the green bastard in somewhere, not necessarily indicative of any plans
Yoshis had already been worked into the traveling montage. Also putting an egg at the end, like we hadn't seen a hatched Yoshi yet, was a baffling decision.
They wanted a cute end credits tag that wouldn't be too baffling to mainstream audiences
Calling me a schizo implies I'm seeing things that aren't there, when in reality, all I'm seeing is what isn't there. A Donkey Kong game. Where is the game, anon? If anyone has schizophrenia, it's the people swearing up and down it's coming, who have been doing this since Q4 2018, with nothing--not one thing--backing them up.
Then why would they go out of their way to render Diddy and Dixie for just a five second cameo? I guarantee you a Donkey Kong movie is in the works.
If they're making a Kong movie next, why did they tease a Mario sequel with Yoshi instead? This isn't the late stage MCU, where they tease X and make Y next. Even the early MCU teasers related directly to the next film, not some distant tentpole.
Because DK is getting his own spin-off film while Yoshi will feature in Mario 2.
>He also carried half of the movie.
No that would be this guy
Wonder what his plan will be for breaking out Bowser.
We never saw what happened to him...
Probably pic rel
I meant Kamek could be dead or trapped in the real world for all we know
It's probably the latter, if the Yoshi egg at the end being in New York is anything to go by. Kamek is the main antagonist to the Yoshi clan in the games. Wouldn't be surprised if that's incorporated (in some way) into the sequel
mario has some nice legs
easy, he would enlist the help of the Koopalings, make a surprise attack at Peach´s Castle and liberate Bowser in the confusion.
I hope it’s a joke like, my lord you could’ve simple bit your tongue and the mushrooms effects would’ve worn off, only for bowser to tell him to bite his tongue he’d never rob the world of his dining voice than to cringe when nobody’s looking at how dumb he was.
That seems too much to expect for the writer of the Teen Titans Go movie to think of.
Bowser Jr. will lead Kamek to free his father.
Yoshi is in it too.
Wario will either cameo or be omitted entirely for greater focus on the thrid film similiar to Shadow in Sonic's films.
Did Peach stuff a shrunken Bowser into her cumjar or was I imagining it?
Mid credit scene shows Bowser in a bird cage in Peach's castle .
She can stuff him anywhere.
They will literally never stop doing an impression of that actor with those sunken eyes, will they? I'm sure all the 4-year olds in the audience got the reference.
They asked Kevin Michael Richardson "what do you think he sounds like", and they just went with it
Stop being a joyless c**t for once in your life.
He would have if they'd given him more to do. He's one of the only cast members to actually voice act instead of just using their normal voice and it works well enough.
his brow weirds me out, lookin like a mask
His Rare design was by Kevin Bayliss, who also designed the Battletoads. They have the same weird eyemask thing going on.
Wait a second.
DK should have had no business being part of the plot of a Mario movie, it's just cinematic universe shit
>DK should have had no business being part of the plot of a Mario movie
You dense motherfricker.
That's why I said plot
The movie completely ignores this game, you didn't disprove him at all
I liked DK a lot more and Toad a lot less than I thought I would.
Read somewhere Ninty has been looking to update his design for a while so the movie was the best opportunity to do it, might see more of it going forward
What they truly should do is NOT have Seth Rogen voice him. That's the reason I refused to watch Mario's movie. I don't care if I'm in the minority. Seth Rogen is trash and very soon he will ruin Ninja Turtles as well. To hell with him.
Looks to me like another model Illumination made for the movie license only
Miyamoto made it a point in one of those directs to highlight how Nintendo pushed the DK redesign.
Felt like aftershow filler to me, like when the directors were bought in to talk about Mario Kart I guess
Well apart from both related and unrelated references
>Zelda Movie
>They make Link Asian
That Rare DK definitely looks like a 90's mascot hero (or villain)
When I saw it was actually made by Rare, can't unsee now the similarity with Battletoads design
I'd love to see what they would do for K. Rool's design, but he must have his voice from the cartoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eggzBAzCZg
cranky needs a soundalike of the cartoon's VA to replace fred armison as well
the headcold voice was dreadful
Armisen's take threw me off at first, but it grew on me. I really like the idea of the Mel Brooks-inspired Larry David angle he went with. It just isn't as good as the cartoon VA, who fit Rare's Cranky so well it's still the voice I read all his lines from the games and manuals in. Thing is, there does not exist a world where we were going to get a modern DK anything with a such a good, Rare-faithful Cranky. That isn't how Nutendo works, that isn't how Hollywood works. If there is a DK spinoff coming, I can guarantee you whoever ends up writing it (assuming the strike is resolved and they don't get an AI to do it) has never cracked open a DKC instruction manual and seen Cranky at his best. I can almost as strongly guarantee you they won't even have beaten any of the DKC games, and may never have seen King K. Rool outside of Smash, or DK64 cutscenes at the absolute most. The only person in Hollywood we know has beaten Donkey Kong Country is Emma Stone, and she's not a writer.
I'm pretty sure at this point actually being passionate about the source material is frowned upon in Hollywood since they pervert so many IPs as their job.
their level of disdain for the source material is completely transparent
even Grant Kirkhope noticed they didn't credit him
It was probably Miyamoto’s decision in retaliation for Kirkhope’s bathroom escapade.
What?

This is my favorite thing I learned today.
>Engrishman Kirkhopu-san is a homosexual, I must get away before he ground pounds ME!
This movie was so awful I couldn't believe it had no plot, the fricking Sonic movies have plots.
So is Epic Universe opening with the Donkey Kong expansion?
Do you mean the Florida park? They're getting it. California isn't, because they didn't even really have space for the Mario park. It's gutted over there.
Universal California is flat out out of room.
Time to expand.
I'm curious as to how Legend of Zelda will be adapted into a theme park land.
There’s enough locales throughout the games to get it done. Could even have a train ride based on Spirit Tracks.
I have a few ideas:
>A shooting dark ride themed to the Gerudo training grounds/Link's Crossbow training
>A log flume ride themed to Zora's Domain
>A minecart ride through Death Mountain
>A dark ride through a bunch of dungeons/Hyrule Castle, like Rise of the Resistance, where you're just a group of hapless adventurers and you just happen to encounter Link and Sheik, and they help you escape monsters?
The design's about the same, it just looks exponentially better because it's a big budget movie rendering versus the lifeless waxworks Nintendo's in-house 3D models have been since the Gamecube. They are dogshit at 3D.
>e also carried half of the movie.
He took up half the movie when he shouldn't have even been in it in the first place.
They definitely could have fixed everything wrong with the screenplay if they didn't force DK into it. It's a shame the DK stuff was the best part of the whole thing.
>He also carried half of the movie.
He WAS half the move. It honestly might have been the film's detriment the fact so much of it was built around DK Island. Instead of the film being a traveling adventure where Peach and Mario can connect with each other and maybe throw in a B-plot for Luigi the whole movie was just a set up for DK and Mario Kart refrences.
I love DK and I'm more excited for the prospect of a DK film with K. Rool but I actually think DK in the long run made the film worse.
I don't think they'd use K. Rool even if there wasn't some kind of shadow campaign against him within Nintendo. His whole thing is being unhinged (from the games) and having a musical side (from the cartoon, which Japan loved, by the way). The Bowser in the movie was a fricking psycho and he had his viral song. There's nothing for K. Rool to do but have a worse design and not be Jack Black.
No K. Rool, no buy.
I'm right there with you.
At the same time, I can't see them using any of the throwaway one-off villains, since a DK movie would likely play into nostalgia as much as Mario
By a third movie they would run out of characters that could be "hyped" by then, unless you go full Nintendo multiverse
That's why I think B-listers like Daisy would be just stuffed into a second movie, if they're going to include them at all
I think they'd just make new villains for a DK movie.
I don't see why they would, I mean they did use Kong characters that were dormant even longer
Kongs are fine by Nintendo. There's an active effort to suppress the crocodiles. Miyamoto wants them left in the past. Why old, irrelevant NPC apes are fine to come back, I couldn't tell you. Maybe it's just how inconsequential the cameos are. Maybe nobody even told Miyamoto about them.
I'll never understand why people obsess over what was presented as a mutual creative decision for two games, that otherwise simplified the entire cast
probably because nintendo let the franchise die for a decade and counting while sneering down at us from olympus like the modern-day god it is
>simplified the entire cast
The Kremlings had to be replaced with new villains who were downgrades in terms of how much character they had. Or did you honestly like how Returns's enemies were mainly just sideways shuffling bongos?
>Or did you honestly like how Returns's enemies were mainly just sideways shuffling bongos?
The way they talked about this was sickening. The official story is they went with new enemies because they were absolutely mesmerized by this one gay on the team's shuffling bongo art, and were so fricking enthusiastic about pursuing it instead of restoring all of the classic DKC elements in a game fricking called DKC Returns. They have to know they fricked up, since their next attempt was just Kremlings with the serial numbers filed off. No dignity. Fricking Americans.
I thought their next attempt were Viking penguins and seals.
Kremlings have always been mediocre, K. Rool is just Bowser with the serial numbers filed off, and both the magic bongos and fruit vikings were superior in every respect except nostalgia factor.
No one's going to bite if you mention the tikis. This might have worked if you hadn't.
Bowser was a fedoralord and a Jack Black.
Finally, someone agrees with me. Everyone's sucking Bowser's wiener despite him being way too evil and lame, while DK got to be fun, exciting and cool. I even liked the voice, you know, I never really liked the voice he got in the Return games.

im disappointed
Gorilla dicks are inch-long nubs at most. The whole bara illusion completely falls apart when you know that.
DK's dong is MUCH more than an inch once it expands.
Yes but Donkey Kong is a kong. As primates they are slightly different
Idiot. That's what makes it hot
I mean, movie DK has elements of old design DK made by Miyamoto, I liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it in games.
This is, for all intents and purposes, Nintendo's design. The design used in the games is Rare's and Nintendo always seemed to sort of low-key resent anything they did with their IP. This is them making a compromise between the original arcade DK Nintendo designed and the more iconic Rare version.
Saying "he carried half the movie" implies the movie wasn't a slog through mud. I think I laughed three times in the 92 minutes this thing went on, and I sure as hell wasn't impressed by the plot, dialogue, character design, or anything else. It was a serviceable-at-best "yup, that's a Mario movie all right" thing that squandered the IP.
You sound insufferable
gay
Seth Rogen is a unclean piece of shit and a dirty heeb.
EH HEH HEH HEH
*wheeze*
Donkey Kong is a big, dumb monkey and Seth Rogan sounds like a big, dumb monkey so it kinda worked.
I think it looks good, though I don't like Nintendo's dedication to gradually de-rareware-itizing DK back to his arcade self.
Toad>DK
Bump
>He also carried half of the movie.
And it sucked. Luigi got shafted in favor of setting up the DK spinoff.
Not even for that. There is no DK spinoff. DK already had his character arc in the Mario movie. There's nothing there to spin off with.
>DK already had his character arc in the Mario movie.
The Mario movie has proven you don't need character arcs. You just need references.
