It had a big, if not the biggest IP right now attached as the first one.
That's literally it. The film itself underperformed against expectations and that's why Sony got the Nintendo license for future films
It's expectation was at least 1.5 billion and highest grossing animated film ever given brand name, and failing that at least highest grossing film of the year
It failed both targets, namely due to negative word of mouth, so Nintendo cut them
>no STRONK WOMEN feminist messaging
It's funny seeing how /misc/tards where screaming and seething about them doing this to Peach and saying it was going to fail.
Then the exact milisecond it turned out critics hated it but everyone else loved it they did a total 180 and started babbling >Actually the movie was anti-SJW because Mario the Italian is white and Peach totally wasn't a girl power pandering character that 1-uped Mario for most of the film
Like you gays geniunly don't have any standards and only seek to "win" the culture war even if it means abadonning your own ideals.
Does it become anti-work the moment it becomes successful in your eye?Because I clearly remember people who clearly hated the idea of any competent woman calling the entire thing woke.Like people yelling princess peace was a Mary Sue because he was confident and the movie was anti-family because Mario and Luigi will easy got in an argument with the father. And princess peace was able to do the obstacle course better than Mario because he lived there longer but it was chalked up to be in females are better as everything.
its the first mario movie thats animated and has an all-star voice cast. mario is one of the biggest names in the world. nintendo just cant see outside japan so they had doubts.

It made over a billion, moron.

Lol cope
Barbie being seen as a bigger brand then Mario is considered a complete humiliation for Nintendo and hurt their bottom line
You are full of shit
So Illumination and Universal got the Zelda/Nintendo film license like they wanted?
I believe they announced the Live Action Link movie not too long ago you know the actual protagonist in Legend of Zelda.
Yes, they did
By Sony. Not Universal/Illumination

>It didn't make more than Avatar, that means it... LE UNDERPERFORMED
It's sad but that is unironically the deranged levels if wealth investors expect.
Maybe they should invest in cryptocurrency if they want 100x gains in 2 years.
Because it was safe. Nothing too offensive, but nothing groundbreaking either. They clearly made to bank on the brand name.
>It's safe
And that's a good thing. There's a reason the old mario movie was shat on so much, because it was nothing like the games.
There are people who unironically regard the old movie with fondness. Not sure if that's just nostalgia/contrarian homosexualry, but it's there
It wasn’t nominated for the Oscars
How many kids movies get nominated for Oscars?
Peaches should've been nominated for Best Song. Kid movie songs get nominated all the time.
It was soulles
Did it know Marios Luigi brother?
Here's a cool piece of trivia: Mario eats a mushroom in the movie, this is a reference to Mario's super mushroom powerup in the original NES game!
Mario's one of the biggest IPs on the planet and the movie itself played things pretty safe.
safe popular you mean
No moronic leftist messaging, no STRONK WOMEN feminist messaging, no stupid shit about diversity, etc

Because it was a pretty standard fun movie that didn't get too weird or deep at all, just lighhearted jokes and some action?
Can't you watch it and tell?
>Perun posting has made it onto Cinemaphile

Up next - Agrabah, and why America should bomb the shit out of it.
It was extremely bland and forgettable. It rode on its brand name, that's it.
