At least, they didn’t insult the viewers, or try to make a bipartisan political issue out of it. (Unlike many in Hollywood, or news media.)
 
Seriously, it’s very cringe when I see people on both sides state they’re getting, or not getting the vaccine, to spite the opposite political side.

I think the biggest problem with it, is it’s not been that long and people still remember the how many of acted like it was an evil drug to all of a sudden heel-turn so fast there was whiplash with only one thing changing and not any ingredients in the vax that had it not - I imagined it would have ended with Peter vomiting his internal origins. and really, the only people it’ll convince are the ones they already went through with it because they wasted all their goodwill.

I haven’t shared my thoughts on the Mario movie yet, so I want to go ahead.
 
I think the most weird casting is not Chris Pratt as Mario, as strange as that is, but Jack Black as Bowser. That threw me for a loop. On the one hand, I think him doing Bowser seriously would actually be awesome. But in reality, it will probably be comedic.
 
I also think that Seth Rogan as Donkey King is a strange casting decision as well. You’re gonna take the guy known for stoner comedies and make him a big, hairy ape? I have a hard time imagining that voice coming out of that body.
 
That being said, I think Charlie Day as Luigi is an excellent casting decision. Charlie Day’s whole shtick is that he has this awkward energy about him. I think that’s gonna fit really well as Luigi.

Why couldn’t they just use Mario’s videogame voice actor? That guys acted before and I can’t imagine any other voice coming outta Mario’s mouth.
 
Remember when movies used actual voice actors to give their characters life? Now every single cinematic cartoon release hires big name celebrities in the vein hope that their name recognition will get butts in seats but only makes the experience less Magic.
 
I’m not gonna hear DK, I’m just gonna hear Seth Rogan in a monkey suit. That’s not Mario, it’s Chris Pratt putting on an accent.
 
Sigh. Ah well, that’s modernity for you.

I kinda expected this since its an illumination movie. I don’t care for their choices generally when it comes to voice talent. Or design. Or plot. Or anything. I don’t like illumination.

They’re solidly mediocre. Which is exactly what Nintendo wants. They don’t gamble with the ‘stache. If this were a Metroid or a StarFox movie, they could afford to take some risks.
 
(But why the hell do they have Charles Martinet attached if he’s not gonna voice anyone important?)
 
@Dex Stewart  
It wouldn’t be the best spinoff even if it were the only one. But there’s a neat story behind the headline.
 
Craig McCracken has a show on Netflix, Kid Cosmic, and at the end of season 2, they meet the “Planet Protection Group” (wink), a trio of secret agents doing secret agent shit.

I think Adam Sandler is still funny, people liked him on the Hotel Transylvania movies, it’s just now he just makes movies to go on vacation with his buddies then to actually make a good film.
 
Seth has lived off the same gag for his entire career, and it shows with how salty he gets and tries to swat down people cracking better jokes then him.

So when does Craig get cancelled for casting someone with the wrong skin color?

I blame Shrek. Every terrible trend in animated movies the last 20 years originated with shrek. The dumb snarky self aware humour, The deconstruction of conventional story tropes, copious amounts of CGI rather than traditional animation and Using celebrities instead of voice actors.
 
Shrek ruined everything.

I’d blame Pixar for the copious amounts of CGI, not Shrek. Shrek was following Pixar there.
 
And the using celebrities instead of voice actors was something that had been happening for some time. Remember, Pixar had celebrities in their films before Dreamworks/Shrek, going as far back as their first theatrical release: Toy Story.

Back in the day, a new pixar movie was a movie event that everyone had to see. They were the only ones doing CGI movies and existed alongside traditionally animated movies.
 
It was shrek that moved the industry onto its current course that we’ve been enduring for twenty years. People seem to forget how huge that movie was and the avalanche of imitators it spawned. The West stopped producing big budget traditionally animated movies soon after its release.
 
The few exceptions like frog princess, which was a throwback to Disney’s heyday, failed to impress at the box office, proving we deserve the industry we have.

Again, it’s not fair to pin the decline of 2D films solely on Shrek. You’re forgetting other factors such as quality of some 2D movies in the 2000s being not up to snuff (Home on the Range, Hey Arnold: the Movie, and Teacher’s Pet being box office bombs), Bad marketing or not enough promotion (The Powerpuff Girls Movie could’ve done much better had WB helped with the marketing instead of leaving it on Cartoon Network’s shoulders), Bad timing (The Princess and the Frog competing against Avatar and Winnie the Pooh going against one of the Harry Potter films), hand-drawn animation being a lot more expensive to make compared to CGI, and etc.
 
@TheDog  
To add on to the Celebrity Voice acting issue, this has been a problem since Disney’s Aladdin with Robin Williams voicing Genie (not that I hate him for it). When the first Space Jam premiered, Billy West and other VAs weren’t even invited to red carpet premiere or the after party. They had to settle for the smaller theatre next door. When they asked why they weren’t invited, they were told the big theatre was for “actors”.
