Something, something no woke, etc...
Are morons actually pretending this movie isn't actually woke now that it made money while before this was wokest woke that ever did woke?
What's so woke about Mario tho? He stops Bowser from force-marrying Peach and beats him up. Very Popeye-like.
I saw a few people b***hing about how Peach was a girlboss mary sue.
Just because she flips Mario once and brags about her being able to do the obstacle course?
And then Mario ends up doing everything.
Woketards are so desperate for a win that they'll try to claim any competent female lead is "woke."
They destroyed Peach's character because they hate traditional femininity. And that WAS why. It wasn't because they liked cool tough girls, because they could have used Daisy easily.
She was a cold fish with penis envy.
>t. Redditgay speaking on behalf of an ideology he doesn't know about
You didn't play the games.
wrong
>Spinoffs are fair game
Even with that leeway, you are wrong.
Unironically that game was SO FRICKING CUTE.
I like the how game's ending basically said "your mom is hiding a dildo somewhere in the house".
A bunch of the shit both for and against the movie was astroturf anon. I suppose there were some morons along for the ride, but I wouldn't listen to them too much anyways.
I'll remind you all once more: Nimona was a gay movie written by a woke troid, and it did extremely well and destroyed Disney movies. This is because "go woke, go broke" was a lie. Disney and others blamed "anti-wokeness" when the real problem was that their movies just suck.
What the frick is a nimona?
It's a movie on Netflix, that was never released in theaters so yeah its fricking nothing
The Mario movie was pretty woke too though.
Why are you morons still trying to force this?
Why are you morons trying to force this
GET WOKE
MAKE A BILLION DOLLARS
>Ignoring all the payoff moments on purpose
Weak.
Correct
why do your parents prefer your siblings over you? probably because they dont make threads like this several times a week
Awful lot of projection there. Upset because your dad rather spend time with your normal sibling instead of a Disney loving homosexual like you?
>you dont like my threads? y-you must like... the opposite thing! you must be one of those... other people who likes the thing i dont like.... i-its me vs them, man! me vs the world!
Popular video game brand and video games in themselves are more popular and nearly any other media nowadays.
Unironically this
Fricking Pizza Tower has more relevance in pop culture than most cartoons discussed on this board
Emplemon was 100 percent right with everything he said in this video.
Man when people said Angry Joe got Fat I didn’t realize it was this bad.
remember when you lot where b***hing about how mario was woke bc peach was a girlboss?
No.
I see a lot of schizos who REALLY wanted that to be the case and cobbled together shipping-essay-tier posts trying to sell that narrative, all to insist that secretly there was this shdow legion of people who wanted to complain about this movie to be woke, and people who actually played the games telling them to frick off.
No
Isn't it weird how these threads are only ever about the box office?
They hate you because you tell the truth
Most people have shit taste. What else is new. We'd still be living in caves if the majority had had their way.
Mario has those other autistic things beat by a mile.
Sometimes you just want something fun.
Gee I wonder why people didn’t care for lecture the movie and lecture the movie? I don’t know why you’re limping spiderverse in those though that movie actually made money.
It's not woke for having a girlboss, it's woke for turning a canonically feminine character into a girlboss for no reason.
See how fast you changed the rules in order to support other movies before I even mentioned them?
>you changed the rules
No, I said it previously.
>for no reason.
Play the games, moron.
Peach being a competent ruler works because to bounces off of Bowser's character shift, since Mario needs to remain the almost-always-smiling everyman. The mainline 3D games are the only ones nowadays that keep up the "Bowser kidnaps her because he wants to marry her" cliche, since they're not as story-driven.
She's always been intelligent and competent and nobody's complaining about that. But being a badass is something they made up for the movie.
>intelligent
Depends on the game.
>competent
That's mainly when she's playable and sometimes in her segments in the Paper Mario games.
moron
>Play the games, moron.
You first. If you think Peach from the Movie is anything like Peach in the games, regardless of her role (damsel, supporting, playable, protagonist) then you clearly don't play the games yourself.
The Nintendo concept art for the movie literally had her shadowboxing Infront of an enemy while Mario was behind her
>Strange World was trying to sell you an adventure in another world but the alien designs looked like they were exploring the human body
> Lightyear was dull, had a dumb plot twist and word of mouth didn't help
>AtSV was more successful compared to the first film and had good word of mouth, it opened when competition across many films was more intense and was lengthy so less showings
Mario just hit at the right time as it had little to no competition, was a film that closely resembled the game, was short, and overall was a relatively decent flick to spend and watch at the theather.
Strange World was trying to sell you on nothing because their trailers showed nothing and their interviews only talked about the diversity.
Because Mario's a normal fricking movie.
Pretty much.
It's just mostly mindless fun without political drama, obnoxious teen angst, and so much "woke" shit. Add what it already is with lots of action and energy, bright colors, nostalgia and references, and an established franchise that people are familiar with.
If this movie wasn't Mario, it would have bombed.
>If movie was different, it would be different!
>missing the point this bad
You can't prove your point because it is a Mario movie. We can not change that, nor do we know what would happen if it wasn't.
I'm really surprised Elemental has clawed its way up in recent weeks.
>Uhm.... you just don't understaaaaaaand my point!!
Actual midwit response.
Your argument is literally that if the core appeal of the movie were removed, it wouldn't have made money.
That is a moronic non-criticism. It's as moronic as saying "well, if Michael Jordan couldn't walk, then he wouldn't be a good basketball player!" or "W-Well, if you replaced Frozen's songs with vuvuzela horns, it wouldn't have done good," or "Well, if Avatar didn't have visuals, it wouldn't have made money!" Yeah, no shit. You figured out that there's something that draws people to a movie. You've done the most basic of observations, presumably while sitting in your parents' car in the Walmart parking lot, ceasing your window-licking infrequently to shout at some poor passing children "THA MARIO MOVIE HATH MARIO IN IT!"
>It only made money because it happens to be a recognizable franchise, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!
>Happening to exist as a recognizable franchise is the same as having actual high quality content!
Are you trolling, or are nintendrones really this far gone?
>>It only made money because it happens to be a recognizable franchise, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!
What a sad response, desperately trying to say unrelated memes instead of an argument.
have a nice day.
Do you make a new one of these movie threads every day anon? No judgement. Just curiosity.
He does. The screencaps are numbered in order too. Dude has no life.

Chris Pratt was chosen to play Mario, because in Japan run-and-jump games are called Pratt Formers.
>Pratt Formers
>More Than Meets the Eye
Imagine the shitstorm if he played Optimus instead of Chris Hemsworth
What if he played Rodimus Prime becoming the leader?
>one of the biggest longtime IPs
>more popular with kids today than mickey mouse
>vs a new IP and a 90s IP that kids are not into
Gosh I wonder why.
Sonic mario and pikachu are more popular and recognizable to kids today than any other character out there. And that's global. Not just to a small age range in the US, not just to millenials who are pushing 40, but literally everyone younger than that.
>vs a new IP and a 90s IP that kids are not into
Is any of this referring to Spiderman?
And Mario is just…whimsical. Like, Zelda has a certain “era” feeling to it, swords and arrows and magic and faeries and dragons and castles. Same with basically anything else. But Mario is like…dudes in overalls, and turtles and mushrooms and ghosts and gorillas and dinosaurs and princesses and sentient bombs and skeletons…and everything is designed like a Japanese mascot, every character has personality and charm in their design, honed over 30+ years. Even without taking any cinematic risks whatsoever, it’s a fun and whimsical world to visit for 90 minutes.
because the former has videogame character mario in them
>Watch Mario movie for the second time
>Mario, Peach, and Toad suddenly end up in Wet Dry World's town
>It gets flooded when Mario accidentally hits a dial
>The flood's survivors villainize Mario
The only thing more successful than movies with black protagonists is movies with video game protagonists.
Oh wait, sorry, the Wikipedia lists only counts movies released in 2023, not movies that released in mid-December that made enough money even not counting the opening two weeks that they completely shit on the white people ghetto.
Y'all cling to Mario because the next best white people movie is fricking Ant Man
I know you're just autistically ragebaiting, but what's non-white-people about GotG or Avatar?
I like how that post lists Puss in Boots under it's 2023 gross.
Like, yeah, way to inflate the list with movies from 2022 just to make the black-theator look better than it is.
Pratt bros we're eating good.
>GOTG suddenly doesn't have a white male lead
Jesus Christ, 2023 sucked
2023 has been a weird year. Nearly every movie has had a catastrophic opening weekend, but they've stuck around earning a million dollars here and there for weeks or months on end. The Little Mermaid was a massive failure when it opened, but has since managed to claw from "bomb" to "flop" to "disappointment" before eventually making it all the way to "profitable". It un-flopped in a way few movies did.
Even Elemental, Pixar's biggest flop of all time, is up to 313 million now. It made 3 million dollars in the US yesterday. It's not profitable yet, but it's getting within striking distance of at least breaking even.
>before eventually making it all the way to "profitable"
Hey time traveler, can you leak some lottery numbers for us?
I think I'm going to go insane if I hear "woke" one more time
Lightyear wasn't good at all.
cause it was better, anon
They choose the path of less resistance. If you bash people too much with stupid shit they ignore you, doubling down doesn't help but they can't stop now.
Mario has a villain.
it has mario
this would make for a more interesting film tbh
...isn't that just waluigi?
I don't see Waluigi going shirtless during a baseball game.
I can...but he wouldn't be a golden boy. Maybe Waluigi properly groomed, and with the blood alcohol content of your average florida man.
Hmm, possibly...
but would he have a "major role", and find himself in such elite teams?
>and Spider Verse
Spiderverse is a success on all fronts you hatemongering moron.
People like movies with a girl boss. Simple as.
Being tied to one of biggest video game franchises certainly helps.
