All due respect, I don’t get what the complaint is exactly Not really a complaint as much as it's an observation. I guess it's just me, but the general saturation of how the Mario games have felt over the last 20 years or so, and having that bleed into this movie...I guess I would have preferred keeping it simpler, which would have provided more opportunities if they wanted to make sequels. If you look back, 4 of the first 6 mainline Super Mario games has a different antagonist, but now it's just the same plotline now, just with more supporting characters. It's just speculation on my end, but when you stack every marketed Mario character into one movie, you're not giving yourself an opportunity to change it up if you made additional movies, other than maybe changing the environments. We know that it's essential that any mainline Mario game is going to pit Mario against Bowser, but does that translate well into a movie franchise? Again just an observation not really a complaint, but if this movie is a massive hit, do they have anything fresh for potential sequels? Well, Wario and Rosalina aren't fully seen in the trailers, so there is a chance for stuff with them. Also Bowser Jr., but how they explain him or the Koopalings (even if they aren't physically related to the Koopa king) is anyone's guess. Depending on how well this movie does and how daring Nintendo lets them be, we could pull some stuff from either the Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario games (though perhaps without the paper aesthetic). I'm sure there'll be people marking out if Waluigi somehow makes it to film. There's stuff there, just how to implement things. And that's not even counting a possibility of them pulling an MCU on us and have a Smash tease like Nick Fury at the end of the original Iron Man movie.

That's true, but I don't think Wario would fill the same kind of antagonist role that he did in Super Mario Land 2, but that would be interesting. I guess it's just my lack of enthusiasm, which I understand why others would feel differently...but Miyamoto's insistence that it has to be Mario vs. Bowser in the games just made it uninteresting for me. I remember being psyched while playing Sunshine, only to find out it was Bowser in the end. I'm probably making too much of it, but hopefully things like the Kongs being in it is mostly delegated to an extended cameo as I'd prefer them in their own little universe to provide more screentime to other characters.

I think they'd go the "Knuckles in Sonic 2" route with Wario. Starts off as an antagonist, but has a face turn during the climax.

You'd have to do it a bit different with Wario though, since while he has done heroic things, it's for not so heroic reasons all the time (mostly because treasure or wealth of some kind). Knuckles at least was just tricked into thinking the heroes were the bad guys but he was a good guy at heart.

Maybe he got mad that the real bad guy didn't give him enough money or gave him rubbish treasure.

See, now I'm thinking back to the old live-action Mario movie, and despite that craziness this board had in the day, I'm picturing Wario as a bounty hunter going after the Mario Bros., but turns on Koopa when he reneges on a deal.

Wario is an anti villain at best, his only real goal is to make as much money as possible, whether from stealing it or making games on the cheap and paying his workers in lint. Any heroic thing he does is by coincidence.

If they wanted to, they could basically steal the plot of Super Mario Sunshine and have Wario (possibly with Waluigi) do a bunch of bad things, all while people confuse him for Mario and Mario has to clean up the mess, all despite having not even an especially passing resemblance to Wario, much like how Shadow Mario is, you know, dark-colored and clearly not actually Mario.
Of course, it being Wario, he potentially wouldn't have even done it on purpose if he's oblivious to Mario's existence. He's just batshit strong and could probably do just about anything he wanted until Mario confronts him, maybe being unaware he was a wanted man.

The more I see, the more I think it'll be a fun movie.

Is this the first time we've seen that ever? Can't think of any games that have had that.

Now I really want to play a DK/Mario game where Donkey Kong uses the fire flower power up, that’d be so awesome imo

With DK getting focus and using The Fire Flower, DKC seems like it'll be getting a spinoff movie.
