I'm convinced that anyone who is dickriding this movie is either a massive hypocrite or is looking to get a higher place in the industry. This movie does literally every badly played trope of modern media just as much as the wokeshit and marvelshit that permeates the industry.
Yes. But it also bypasses most of the stuff that’s been plaguing the industry. Especially when it comes to sjw stuff. It actually feels like the people who made movie had fun doing it, and don’t hold contempt over their own audience.
>hold contempt over their own audience
That's true. I never felt like the people working on it hate a deep hatred for the viewer
>It actually feels like the people who made movie had fun doing it, and don’t hold contempt over their own audience.
It feels like bottoms of the barrel ADHD entertainment
I didn't hate it or love it. It is what it is.
It sucked
When I saw the trailer, I was amazed by how they captured the same shitty energy of "cartoons but in live action setting!" like the Smurfs.
Shitposters on this website will only praise it because it’s [Good Brand] vs [Evil Brand]
What’s actually the difference between the two megacorpos? Shut up or you’re a shill
>mousegays still SEETHING
It was very middling.
Both the excessive praise and condemnation of it is almost certainly just turboautists who can't get over it for some reason.
I'm indifferent because I didn't watch it. But it looks like very simple, widely accessible, fun. Disney/Pixar must be seething.
I decided to keep count whole watching it, of how many times Mario is a punching bag in the movie.
27 by the end of it. 27 times. 26 were physically, 1 was such a serious verbal one that I decided to add it to the bunch.
By contrast, Peach only ever suffers damage from Peach. Other than that, she beats anything she faces.
This movie is about emasculating males. I got the impression from it that Luigi blows Mario or really really wants to. Anybody that doesn't call it woke is peak moronic and hasn't learned anything in the last 6 years, doomed to be a sheep forever.
Why do I get the feeling your counts are extremely biased?
>One's verbal but I decided to count it
Oh that's why...
Bowser doesn't want to harm Peach. That's why she never actually gets beaten up. Bowser doesn't give a shit about DK, Mario, or Luigi.
its a funny Mario Wahoo movie. I'm not sure why anyone was expecting anything different.
I agree. It needed more narcissistic fart-huffing, unnecessary alt-sex propaganda, and commentary about the horrors of anxiety attacks.
Didn't need any of that when it already had Peach as Mario's ebin badass mentor
Who promptly gets kidnapped at the end of the movie anyway.
>kidnapped
You didn't watch anything
The movie doesn't try to be anything more than a videogame movie. Every time they try to adapt a videogame into a movie, they always try to add some deeper bullshit that no one likes, then they throw their hands in the air and declare that videogame movies are box office poison.
This movie literally doesn't do anything with the material other than references. There's no actual plot.
>Bowser kidnapped someone and his stirring up shit in the Mushroom Kingdom
>Mario must defeat Bowser and free the captive
That's nearly every Mario game, Anon. What were you expecting?
Better. Something with an actual story. And a better written story.
One example. Why does Bowser need the power star?
>didn't watch the movie
He wants the star because he thinks if he has it Peach would marry him.
>Something with an actual story. And a better written story.
But those are near impossible to do in either games or cartoons. The best they could do is usually around the caliber of a SLIGHTLY edgier Dreamworks or Pixar movie
It's a lighthearted movie staring white people that promotes family values and loyalty sorry that's satanic to you rabbi
If you watch a Super Mario movie and you're older than 10 years old and not a father of children that age, you are probably moronic and autistic
This but literally every cartoon and comic book
and non-M-rated video game
Its not difficult to understand. Its a Mario movie that looks pretty mario games like and has a bunch of references. It could have been total shit and still brought in loads of money just from that. As it stands its an alright, harmless, safe movie
>it's
>still
>relevant
Yeah it's pretty much what everyone makes fun of in your typical Illumination movie but it has memberberries so it's ok.
It’s a movie that gives the audience what they want by faithfully adapting the source material with the characters looking and acting like they’re supposed to. It’s sad that this low standard is considered a high bar in modern day Hollywood.
>audience what they want by faithfully adapting the source material
only nintendies believe this
You know damn well Peach wasn't in character.
I just don't get why people went so easy on how Luigi was sidelined. Then he just randomly seems as skilled as Mario post trainig when they freed him. Felt so cheap.
All he did was block Bowser's fire blast, which is to play into the central theme of their brotherly bond that nothing bad can happen if they're together.
Then once he gets the star, he starts ass whooping, but this is just the star doing most of the heavy lifting.
you posted this exact wording before
im not fond of the mario movie but please try harder
>Cinemaphile likes Illumination slop now "because" they aren't Disney
Unreal.
When a movie doesn't remind you of identity or modern politics, it's a win.
they must love other infantile media like barney the dinosaur then
Are gay and black existence in things identity politics?
I enjoyed it for what it was. The glaring flaws are the pacing of the story starting out strong and then devolving into spectacle set to licensed music and Mario and Luigi's character arcs being non-existence. Mario isn't a quiter who learned to keep going, a lesson that resonates with gamers. Luigi had a lesson to learn but we're focusing on Mario when Luigi is the one who steps up a little.
Other than that, it was just a fun video game movie.
What I can't believe is that none of you have deciphered the financial incentive Big Corporation has for promoting "Woke".
It isn't even that complicated. Its an old game.
It's pretty straight forward: By turning politics into single issues that have nothing to do with taxes, regulation, or dark money lobbying policy, corporations ensure that their profits are protected.
