I like Chris Pratt in some stuff like GotG, LEGO Movie, and the first Jurassic World, but he is such an awful choice for Mario from what we've heard of it so far. Everyone else sounds pretty good, but Pratt's Mario just sounds like Chris Pratt. I think the reason he worked so well in The Lego Movie is that he was supposed to be a bland, interchangeable everyman who the plot happens around (and even kinda the same with GOTG, although with a bit more of a personality he's still the everyman character who reacts to all the crazy things). It's the exact inverse of being a colourful beloved character with a distinctive voice. Funny you should say that because that is how Nintendo had originally viewed the Mario character:

Funny you should say that because that is how Nintendo had originally viewed the Mario character: Yeah, honestly, the whole allure of Mario and what's made him last beyond so many other video game mascots is precisely that he doesn't have a defined personality and can be slotted into any situation without being the standout personality in whatever setting he's in; like, that's the crux of Paper Mario, where he's the only silent character. He's basically meant to be "Everyman", albeit an Everyman who can do insane jumps and doubles in size when he eats shrooms.

He's basically meant to be "Everyman", albeit an Everyman who can do insane jumps and doubles in size when he eats shrooms. Funnily enough that in turn has basically come to define Mario. Think of basically every Nintendo crossover game where for gameplay sakes the characters have different attributes, like the Mario sports games and such. Mario is always the default most well rounded character. He’ll have like 3 stars in speed, strength, agility, etc. Being the literal default arguably IS his character now.

I really hope the movie ends with Mario getting a cake.

So a toy ad leaked that this movie features... {Spoiler}Lumas. Maybe their plan is to use everything they possibly can from the main games in this one movie so that Nintendo will let them use the actually interesting side characters from the RPGs in future movies.

I mean, I kind of expected that, {Spoiler}given the trailer had Peach mention Galaxies. I'm half expecting Rosalina to be to this movie what Nick Fury was to the first Iron Man movie.

If Daisy and Luigi aren't making babies by the end of the movie what's the point?

Right now does kind of have this feel of, "You've got four more months, chill out on the updates, you don't need to show the entire thing before April."

DK would be afraid if he was wearing The Frog Suit.

So, when the sequel to this is inevitably made, who voices Wario and Waluigi?
