"Fun" is something uniquely lacking in modern cinema; the closest we get "sardonic self-deprecation".
The 90s Mario Bros movie, for the absolute insanity of it, was way more fun than either of the "accurate" new corporate committee slop products and the only one I'd actually rewatch by choice.
And even though there was a lot of cringe dialogue in the prequels they at least also had tons of material for jokes and memes

Fun died when sincerity died. Everything is cringe now, so better hide it under several layers of irony.
Yeah, everything is full of snide little quips and several layers of "irony". It's the Redditfication of media and I fucking hate it.
People like to dunk on that movie but it was charming and left an impression. Who could forget the goomba elevator scene?
Darths and Droids alone justifies the existence of the prequels in my book.
