It doesn't feel like Mario at all. It feels like every hollywood cliche with mario paint slapped on it. and of course they made Peach a "le strong and independent" hollywood feminist cliche she practically has the complete opposite personality as the games, instead she's just another hollywood feminist cliche. And Mario seems to be as the victim of "slapstick jokes" to laugh at. Everything is just so hollywood
Also they couldn't even get any of the voices of the characters right
They should've produced it in Japan, then.
They kinda did.
Nintendo chose Illumination over bigger studios like Disney because Illumination were the only ones who would let Nintendo keep creative control.
Its still Hollywood at the end of the day, the writers/directors are just soybrained millennials with a lame sense of humor filled with tired leftist tropes(I can just imagine all the jokes Peach will make about being a stronk wahman). Nintendo probably just consulted on the characters and worldbuilding while having little involvement in the writing or casting, because to them this is just nothing more than a big commercial for their games and possibly the rumored upcoming Mario game this year.
This^
That's exactly what the trailer looks like.
Peach being a girlboss had me noping out.
Which is why I think people are reading too much into stuff. It has already been confirmed Nintendo crushed some of the attempts to make some stuff woke in the movie.
...did you see the voice actors?
Hard fucking pass.
I saw an ad where Seth Rogen does his stupid stoner laugh as DK and instantly noped out from seeing it
I did hear that it was even MORE feminist in the original draft but nintendo made them dial down the feminism a bit. Not enough though , the characters are all completely out of character. At the end of the day the script and casting all feel like hollywood and nothing like the games
Confirmed where?
This. I thought the choice of illumination over Disney alone was very telling
