- The visuals are incredible, but that's to be expected. Still, for a studio that usually goes for the bare minimum visually, it's impressive.
- Bowser looks and sounds amazing! Jack Black kills it, I couldn't tell it was him doing the voice. He's definitely gonna be a highlight.
- ACTUAL WORLDBUILDING!? We see different kingdoms, Bowser portrayed as an actual conqueror and the koopas as his army.
- Toad sounds pretty good. The tone is similar to the games but thankfully far less grating.
CONS:
- Mario just sounds like Chris Pratt. There's a vague attempt at replicating Charles Martinet's voice, but it lacks energy.
- They might be going for an isekai situation, which I'm not a fan of. Mario Odyssey already introduced New Donk City, just make THAT Mario's original home and the Mushroom Kingdom is just a different continent.
i’ve been trying to figure out where I’d put the fnaf markiplier cameo (forever in our hearts) and I’ve decided he definitely should have been the fucker who gets rekt by bonnie in the supply closet
The new DnD movie was good! Went into it with my tabletop group expecting a marvel-sequel quippy mess and was surprised by very cool practical effects and wet puppets. Also it felt like a really good translation of a campaign and watching them translate dnd mechanics into actual moments scratched my brain.
I am not immune to advertising ;-; I guess I kinda understand marvel fans now
