This unveiling felt like a Mega 64 skit.

Last I checked other Mario Portrayals Bob Hoskins and Charles Martinet weren’t Italian either so…. |

The first place I saw this had Elon Musk as “Wario” and the rest of the list was so WTF, I bought it.

Speaking as an Italian-American who lives right by New York City, I can assure you that the New York Post sucks and that this isn't a story.

Yeah, just ignore the post... the majority of New York does... Also I've seen people getting mad at Shigeru Miyamoto for this... like do they realize that as close to the project he might be this is entirely within what Illumination does with all of it's movies? Hell I'd wager if anything Charles Martinet being involved at ALL was due to his influence rather than Illumination's casting decision... |

Ironically, I wondered if they did go with someone other than Martinet because they didn't want to/didn't want the scrutiny of Mario talking with a stereotypical accent. |

I think it's more likely that listening to Martinet's version for an entire 90 minutes might actually qualify as a form of torture. |

Meanwhile, this made me chuckle (and it's semi-related) Though if I were to pick a Ganondorf voice it would be Keith David |

There are plenty of reasons to hate Chris Pratt.
Playing an Italian isn't one of them.

I honestly can't even comprehend Martinet doing that voice for more than 30 seconds let alone 90 minutes, there's a reason he only speaks like three words and everything else is just grunts and woohoos. |

I think we should bring back Cpt Lou Albano. Kids will want to see the original Mario. I keep telling you he's 88 years old and dead. Plus we want to stay as far away from the 90s cartoon era as possible
