Turo - bro.... this was eloquent, man.

Personally I love those theories. But I also accepted they are just dump sh!tposts. Call me an edgy *uck but I’m a sucker for those terrible creepypastas

I Remember I made my own theory of “this character never existed,” though for that one it was for a character that was haphazardly inserted into a story she couldn’t exist in.

I actually think the "Mario is actually high on Mushrooms and it's all in his head thing" was kicked around as a talking point between kids going as far back as when the NES was first released....

Goofy continuity extension is like a natural part of any fandom it seems...

I remember the Ed, Edd and Eddie one where someone posted the theory the reason you never see adults and they never leave the cul-de-sac is cause all those kids died years ago and are really just in purgatory.

Liked that one where it pointed out how like everyone had like different era outfits (since the creators wanted a timeless)

My personal favorites are the ones that uses the inconsistencies and gaps in the series to explain some messed up aspects.

One of the ones I did was one where this girl is revealed she was abducted from her family by the man that she now calls her father. But the series it’s from basically just sweeps dark stuff under the rug like that where the “abduction” is treated like “adoption.” It isn’t like the girl doesn’t know she was taken away from real parents, but the world she lives in she sees the man as her proper parent. In fact one day she will take a child from another family and call them hers.

Looking around online and seeing tons of "I can't hear 'Mario', all I hear is Chris Pratt!" comments and how it's gonna ruin the movie.

Skim Wikipedia, come to a startling conclusion: I've legit never seen Chris Pratt in anything, ever.

Never seen a single movie or TV show he was in, hardly even seen commercials for them since we usually mute commercials.

Well, that explains a lot about why his Mario voice doesn't annoy me, I guess.

I can't be off-put or sick of a guy I've pretty much never even heard speak until now.

But yeah I assumed I'd seen him in something by now. Newp. Kind of shocking, honestly.

*TigerClaw* · 12-08-2022, 09:37 PM

The first clip from the movie was shown during the Game Awards.

*TigerClaw* · 01-29-2023, 05:58 PM

a new TV spot got released that shows some new footage, Your first look at Mario in the Cat suit, and Seth Rogen as the voice of Donkey Kong.

*oldmanwinters* · 01-29-2023, 06:24 PM

*meow*

*hahaha*

“DIE!”

Rogen’s DK is giving me serious Rosie O’Donnell/Disney’s Tarzan vibes.

A new poster is here. I like that there are so many characters featured in it.

Everything about this looks so good. I just hope the story is entertaining enough for 80 minutes.

*drgon78* · 02-04-2023, 05:34 AM

Great looking poster.

80 minutes, is that the official movie length?

*TigerClaw* · 02-12-2023, 03:07 PM

Check out this TV commercial for Super Mario Bros Plumbing, They redid the theme from the show.

i called the phone number and you get a pre recorded message from Luigi telling you to text them at the same number and check out the website

*oldmanwinters* · 02-12-2023, 04:49 PM

They have a web site too!

https://www.smbplumbing.com/

And a phone number.

*TigerClaw* · 02-12-2023, 05:29 PM

On the page, If you click on the broken image on the bottom, It takes you to a 404 page with 3 pipes, Each pipe makes a sound, But if you click them in this sequence which is 2, 3, 1, It will play an orchestral version of the Super Mario Bros theme.

*drgon78* · 02-13-2023, 05:32 AM

Well that was a great drive through memory lane.

*Autbot_Benz* · 03-09-2023, 04:28 PM

I’m really looking forward to this movie. It looks great so far. True to the source material. Even a SMB Super Show reference? Wow, I’m impressed.

~~TurtleManiac~~ · 04-03-2023, 11:25 AM

Can’t wait to see it this week. About Peach though, I guess she isn’t the damsel in this movie, but instead it’s about saving Luigi?

I think it could work. I mean Peach was one of the heroes in SMB2 and also in the Super Show cartoon, although sometimes Koopa would kidnap her and they’d have to save her. But I could see it happening to Luigi also.

Although tbh, since it is the only Mario movie we’ve had in 30 years, I kinda would have preferred for Peach to be the damsel in distress and for it to be a classic origin story of Mario defeating Bowser to save Princess. But this just shows they have to go with the times, what’s current. It does seem like “damsels in distress” have been frowned upon by the woke crowd in recent years. I can’t help but wonder if Seth Rogen had any say in this, since he is involved in this movie and we saw the changes he made with the new TMNT movie. But they are also including some Mario Kart stuff in the movie which is one of my favorite Mario games so I think they can make it all work out.

All in all this movie looks really good and I’m actually excited to see it.
