Ehhh, honestly I’m fine with them not being 100% accurate to the games. Otherwise, Bowser could only talk in growls, and grunts, and Mario would be high-pitched, and excited constantly.
Alot of drama going around over Mario’s movie voice.
Even VA Tara Strong Tweeted, “It should of been Charles.”
Even though she voiced for the old Mario cartoons before, (as Hip/Lemmy, and Hop/Iggy Koopa) I disagree, I think Martinet might get annoying after awhile.
No disrespect to Charles Martinet, but his Mario voice is really only good for short bursts and vocal sound effects. I even remember some people used to hate it too.
So honestly, I want to hear more of Chris Pratt before I pass judgement on his Mario, and who knows? It might grow on us. I noticed a bit of a NY accent in his second line of dialogue which I hope is more-so how it actually sounds. I’m up for a more classic NY style sounding Mario like the old cartoons.
Mario’s actually had alot of other voice actors besides Martinet, so IMO he doesn’t have to sound like him 100%. (I always prefered Lou Albano personally.)
