Pratt's voice definitely leaned more Captain Lou in the bronxy italian accent than anything else and I'm very ok with that. I think he'll do fine. Jack Black as Bowser though sounds f***ing incredible and I think he might steal the entire film
Visuals may also be the best Illumination has ever looked. Nintendo absolutely pushed them to go past their comfort zone in some areas and it's for the better
Need to see more of the writing, but more hyped than I was before.

Looks pretty good honestly.
Seen a lot of people complain that Pratt is just doing his own voice? But like he's clearly doing a Cap'n Lou style Brooklyn accent in at least 1 of his 2 lines.
Jack Black is great and you can tell they mocapped his face >_>
Also surprised to see alot of people getting annoyed that Mario was transported to the Mushroom Kingdom when... like... that's basically been the story of the Mario Brothers since Super? Miyamoto himself said the Mushroom kingdom was at least inspired by Alice in Wonderland..

I just really want Bowser to have a big villain song because I know Jack Black would absolutely kill it.

I think people are tired of celebrity voice casting over voice actors. The guy who voices Mario is alive. He should be doing it. Probably be a strain on his voice to do it for a hour and an half. How many lines does he actually do in a game that's just then repeated. 10, 20 at most?
he has said that doing the Mario voice strains his throat. Also I think a full movie of Martinet's voice would get pretty grating. Martinet is involved in the project in some way.

New Mario sounds too much like new Garfield.

The penguins look absolutely adorable, and I want to visit and live in their Kingdom.

Looks great but Pratt as Mario sounds horrible.
And Bowser knows how to make one hell of an entrance.

I don't hate what I see.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

Ignoring the controversy surrounding what he may or may not do in his personal life, I think it's a combination of oversaturation combined with his somewhat limited range. Every character he plays is more or less the same snippy wiseguy with varying levels of intelligence. It's pretty played out. I think people are tired of celebrity voice casting over voice actors. The guy who voices Mario is alive. He should be doing it. I am definitely an advocate for voice work being left to voice actors, but for Mario.... It works for clips but I feel like listening to the, "YAH! YAHOOOOO! IT'S A-ME!" voice for an hour and a half unfiltered would feel like being in Hell.

Who is going to play the uncredited role of Prostitute in this version?

That's because you're imagining the 4 phrases Mario says instead of "Dear god, I'm gonna get cancelled if I even attempt to get to close to Mario's established voice"

New Mario sounds too much like new Garfield. Redub the movie with Mario played by Dave Coulier.

Gotta admit the scene with the penguins attacking Bowser had me audibly laughing.

Its not their fault its the studios.

I follow independent VAs on Twitter I dabbled in it too. (Was in that disaster known as Fallout the Frontier) and many dont like celebs taking roles from established VAs but its a business and celebs will put more butts in seats than Matt Mercer or a Tara Strong. And instantly poo poo them before they had a chance to do anything yet. Thats what I mean.

As soon as I brought up Tara Strong this showed up in my Twitter TL (a lot of VA buddies are retweeting this) this is definitely about the Mario trailer. At least she's aiming for the studios and not Pratt like the fans are that are QTing this. (A VA recently quit a lead role in a Crunchyroll led anime because CR didn't want the VAs to be unionized and paid union rates. They literally refused to speak to him.) VAs get constantly dicked around by the studios and robbed of just rates.
