The Super Mario Bros. Movie
 
The movie was great. Original to the games. None of that woke garbage that everyone else is doing.

This is absolutely a Norg sock puppet. They're both incoherent morons, hardly ever post but just posted within ten minutes of each other, and Norg already gave himself away as fash by calling dems commies.

Wait, weren't conservatives complaining about how they made Princess Peach a girlboss and how woke that is?

It's almost like all of this is made up nonsense or something!

That part was a little annoying, but the Princess is a playable character in a few of the Mario games.....so it wasn't too far fetched.

Who's Norg? Is he anti-woke like me?

I was surprised to learn that there's a movie about Mario Bros, because the characters of the original game are so -quite literally- two-dimensional.
A spin-off like this suggests to me that the demand for entertainment has outrun the movie industry's ability to come up with decent ideas. Didn't the same thing happen decades ago, when the mildly-amusing, strictly-for-kids cartoon, The Flintstones, was turned into a movie franchise ? The result: top-heavy movies, loaded down with all the trappings of adult movies, but built around a flimsy core of nonsense that just can't keep going for 90 mins.

Coming soon to a screen near you: the moving bio-pic of Mr.Muscle and his doomed crusade to keep kitchens clean:-

Oh jesus. You know what, I'm now pro-making your kids non-binary. Just because I'm tired of hearing this ****ing word. I'm going to make them drink Bud Light and vote for high taxes. Their hair is going to be green. Just like the environmental causes they'll champion.

Haven't seen it but Mario games actually have stories now and this movie doesn't just look like a 90-minute sitcom episode. Old man.

Yup - here's a pretty funny video that compares the different conservative reactions to it.

I mean, not really. Not the mainline ones at least, beyond Princess Captured by Bowser -> Save Princess and Defeat Bowser. Paper Mario and Mario RPG have my heart though - great stories in those games - and the mainline ones are great games, regardless of the story.

I saw the movie and I thought it was quite enjoyable. I had a few gripes here and there - the voice casting was meh, the character dynamics and story beats were a little underwhelming, and the movie moves a bit too fast. But as a fan of the games, I loved all the fanservice and call backs to the old games. The animation was absolutely top notch and colorful. I'm hoping that when they make a sequel (they will), they can flesh things out a little bit more now that the characters and world are already established.
