But I do get your point. I want Chris Pratt and Jack Black to sound like Mario and Bowser, not Chris Pratt and Jack Black.

I'm really curious about the movie, Mario is basically an open canvas if you want to make a movie, you can get something like the live action Super Mario Bros movie which is good in its own right or something generic like the super mario cartoons of the 80s and 90s. The games can go from more "action" like say Odyssey or Galaxy to extremely cartoony like in the spin-off games or an in between like the RPG games. It's a very flexible franchise.
I think Nintendo chose Illumination for being a smaller studio and they likely have more control over the direction of their character so despite not liking their movies I think it might be a good match. I do think it'll be mostly in the Wreck-it Ralph type of humor/story, nothing mind blowing but satisfying. |

Apparently some people are upset that Mario isn't voiced by an Italian.

I'm Italian and I'm not upset
I think they should have shown more respect to Charles Martinet and should have given him the role. He has been voicing Mario for so long, give the poor guy a chance! |

Martinet isn't a bad voice actor by any means, his voice can actually be rather pleasing. Paarthurnax in Skyrim isn't grating at all, so he can do voices that aren't overly cartoony. It's just that the Mario voice he usually does may not be all that pleasant in the long run, it's very high pitched. |

Even in animated films, studios somehow need to justify an age gap between the female and male love interests.
Just, ... why? |

Captain Lou Albano played the RL version and voiced the cartoon version of Mario from the Super Mario Super Show, He didn't voice the character in the other two shows. |

You can argue that it was before Mario was under tight nintendo control and they gave people who licensed the IP more freedom. That's how we got those crazy nintendo character interpretations on Captain N cartoon. Mario isn't the most talkative in games canon but he can clearly talk, it's not like Link where Nintendo has gone out of their way to make sure he never talks and I hope he never talks in a game. If they ever make a show or movie of course he would need to talk

Never really understood why studios don't primarily cast voice actors for animated movies. Seems like wasted money to get a 'name' actor that probably won't give you as good of a performance. Kids don't care that Star-Lord is the voice of Mario. They're going to see it because it's Mario.

Jack Black as Bowser I think is going to be the scene stealer, Because Jack Black has a larger then life persona, So he's going to own that role. |

Does the movie have the potential to be a huge hit? The Mario Brand has become quite big in the last few years since the Switch came out, it seems Nintendo finally shook that "for kids' phase and is now seen as cool to kids and nostalgic for adults. But this is also releasing at the same time as Avatar 2.

This cast was unexpected. I am curious to see what they will bring to the characters.

Well we already knew he was going to speak because Seth Rogan is voicing him, this isn't meant to be canon with the games. I feel the Super Mario movie will be a tribute to the character, wreck it ralph style and mario goes on an adventure meeting all his frenemies over the decades. And however DK is portrayed there would follow on this spinoff. DK did speak in the DKC cartoons and all kongs basically speak in canon so why wouldn't he.

He talks at the end of DKC 3 about dreaming of a big pile of bananas. Come on, people.
