The Mario Movie Gets It Right 

Animation was tremendous. Writing was decent, but lightning-paced. The licensed music was corporate and distracting as fuck. They literally chose the 3 most well-known songs that everyone remembers from _another_ popular movie this decade and it was completely out of place. The original score re-incorporating themes from the games was solid though.

I would've prefered that instead of playing the licenced music, they played a mariofied version/parody of it- although that might have also been distracting

It's fun, but the lack of Dennis Hopper turning people into chimpanzees with a magic ray gun makes it disappointing. 0/10. Worst movie ever. /s

As much as I love "I Need a Hero", I would honestly prefer, if they used "Practice Makes Perfect" by "Legacy X" from Mario Teaches Typing. I’m just sayin’

Wow that is awesome. I knew it would be successful

$30 Mill? That's kinda considered small by most.

Though, I do love the cutscene from Smash where Fox McCloud and Peach are doing plot stuff but Peach gets accosted by Zelda's bodyguard; but when Fox comes back he just sees Peach and the dude having a cup of tea together on this burning airship and Fox is just like "welp, guess I'm having tea now"

Ooo big same ❤

It established that he has parkour skills but not that he can do that against attacking enemies.

Absolutely funny

Ironic since before the movie was released, right-wingers claimed it would tank because princess peach was portrayed as a feminist girlboss and claimed it was woke. After it made a lot of money, now right-wingers are claiming it is anti-woke because it was a video game movie that wasn't "political" and had male main characters and chris pratt (who was the weakest part if the movie). [They also did the same thing to sony's miles morales spiderman movies ... until it was revealed that the astv movie was made with abuse. They tried to do the same thing with ruby Gillman, the flash, and the barbie movie just because disney's live-action tlm had a black woman play ariel; but their words ran hollow because those same people that claim they want original movies and movies that are "faithful" to the white characters didn't go out to see ruby Gillman or flash and now they are mad because the barbie cast and Warner studios reminded them that the barbie movie is a barbie movie.] Zack Snyder learned the hard way not to pander to the anti-sjw incel dudeobros because those guys wanted an uncut version of a DCu superhero movie, Warner studios gave it to them, and those same guys either didn't bother to watch it or just hated the movie. And those same guys had the audacity to be mad that Zack Snyder called them out and said they weren't real fans. Disney and the tlm crew defended halle bailey early on and called out their bluff by focusing on their target audiences and real fans of tlm. Disney deliberately mismarketed elemental the way they did because of the racist and sexist backlash Turning Red and live-action tlm got which resulted in a terrible box opening but a peak in interest thanks to word of mouth from disney and animation fans. Dreamworks and Warner thought they could get the people complaining about "woke" disney and "cancel culture" and the people praising spiderman astv and the mario movie to see their movies ruby Gillman and flash and that strategy failed because the anti-sjws are not a reliable audience. (Ruby Gillman should have marketed to children, families, and gals instead of relying on their mermaid character to pander to anti-sjws. Warner should have cancelled flash instead of batgirl.) Barbie cast and crew realized this and decided to do the same strategy disney and illumination did and remind everyone that the barbie movie is a barbie movie; implicitly calling out the anti-sjws' bluff while appealing to the gals and barbie fans.

Just wanted to get ahead on this one since a big video is coming down the line.
