No no I want it to be extremely bad since if it's good, Bob will just change his mind and have a mild reaction especially if his niece and nephew like it

You don't know Bob. People like Tom Holland as Spiderman, Bob is still insistent he's awful because he's not Tobey Maguire. Hell, his main problem with Amazing Spiderman 2 was that he thought it was a good movie and meant Maguire was never going to come back.

If the Mario movie is good, he'll do a Spiderman Homecoming where he pretends he's fine with it and downplays any qualities, and then a few weeks later talk about how shit of a movie it was. Except this isn't part of his precious MCU so he'll rage even harder, maybe even giving us another Pixels rant.

And if his neice and nephew like it? He's more likely to scream at them than admit he's wrong.

“I’m the good guy with literally every other damn thing” may be the most unaware thing Moviebob has ever said.

Tell me about it, if a movie or a franchise gets to be like by the "wrong people", you know, the chuds, Robert won't stop whining about it.

Sometimes not even that, like this new Dune movie that he has been bellyaching all the time.

Feels dumb and stupid to be so invested in a Mario story, more so because Mario never had much of a story to begin with, Nintendo was wise to treat Mario more as a mascot than a "character", like Disney did with Mickey for most of the time.

Yeah, Chris Pratt as Mario sure is a "wait, what?" sort of deal, but whatever, the guy at least has charisma, he can pull something off.

The biggest thing I think the Mario movies has going for it is the script writter Matthew Fogel, he relatively a newcomer as a solo script writter, but he has been working with the Philip Lord and Christopher Miller writing crew for years, and even got to be in the writting credits for the Lego 2 movie (hence the Chris Pratt cast was probably his take).

And for those who don't know the Phil Lord and Chris Miller duo, they are responsible for some of the best american animated movies since when Cloudy With Chances with meatball hit the scene, also Spiderman Miles Morales, The new Jump 21 movie and they produced a recent favorite of mine, The mitchells vs the machines, and in most of their production Lord and Miller brought in Fogel to help tight the script.

Of course this doesn't mean the Mario movie is a sure hit, but if Robert took a single pause and look who is behind the wheel, he would see that this ain't a regular Illumination flick, who got moist of their movies so far written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, capable writers, but very "inside the box" old school guys (they made Cats don't Dance though, I like that one).

I think Illumination is going for the distance with this one, besides Fogel, they also got the directors for the Teen Titans Go movie, which is also surprisingly good and clever same way the first Lego movie was.

This might be the big move that Chris Meledandri (head of Illumination) was waiting for, now he has a big, iconic franshise, probably some big Nintendo money behind it and a creative freedom that he seems to be showing with story and direction and looks like he wants Mario to be his own Lego movie, and rise Illumination above the "minions" mediocrity.

Might be a long shot, who knows, good chance it will be more Illumination crap, still so far this Mario movies has been getting at least more interesting than a mascot movie would.

 

[Rei is shit]

I heard Pratt was cast as Mario and just had to see how Robert is coping. Thanks for not disappointing Robert!

Is Bob selling merch sent to him by PR departments or just gifts he’d rather have cash for? Special edition NES system, new in box, has been sold but the Mario giant plushie with tags still on has not. And how do you have a 20+ year eBay account and zero feedback?

Remember the times he talked about winning stuff from the local arcade? And how he talked about selling stuff he won from there on ebay? I think that is where most of this stuff comes from.

Pretty sure that most things Bob sells on Ebay are absolutely shit arcade redemption items he got at his local Dave N Busters equivalent.

Nothing like spending 100 bucks on a coin pusher to get a 30 dollar item that you sell on Ebay for 20 bucks.

 

[Mr Snek]

You know I'm actually shocked Bob isn't getting hyped for a Mario childrens movie, I figured that would be his dream. I mean I know it looks like shit but I never thought that would bother him, does he actually think that Mario is so important that it needs a three part epic in the style of Lord of the Rings to tell the story of an Italian plumber beating up turtles?

I'd much rather watch Glifford The Big Red Dog than anything from MCU.

I don't think Scorsese would even comment on Clifford because its so blatantly marketed as a children's movie.
MCU is kiddie shit disguised as dark adult shit.
His whole gripe was Capeshit being mistaken for modern cinema works of art, which obviously offended Blobert because not only did the shell hit too close to home, it went right down the chimney into the basement Bobby dwells in.

Now he's just retweeting some other broad (troon?) butthurt about a different kid's movie.

To say nothing about how Shigeru Miyamoto--the man Bob reveres as a living god--is directly involved as co-producer. I think will find a way to force himself to like the 2022 Illumination film as he did the 1993 film. He is too much of a consumerist whore to not perform the mental gymnastics.

Bob really does. He treats Mario as this super deep series that is very personal to him. He calls Mario his friend, had dreams where Shigeru Miyamoto anointed him as the savior of gamers, and in his book treated Mario 3 as this deep political thriller whose reveal is on par with JFK's Death in terms of historical impact.

Nah, I think he is going to hate it no matter what, you would be surprised how stubborn Robert can be.

I've kept up with this thread for about 2 years now and it's taken me until now to realise Bob really is a slightly less autistic version of Chris.

 

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Bob's already butthurt that the Mario movie is animated and not live action.

I remember an old video of Bob talking about a hypothetical new Mario movie, and his ideal would be for a live action film. He said it annoys him when people say that some things just don't work in live action.

He basically just thinks live action is more prestigious.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

does he actually think that Mario is so important that it needs a three part epic in the style of Lord of the Rings to tell the story of an Italian plumber beating up turtles?

Absolutely. He’s identified so closely with Mario for ~30 years. And as we all know, Robert takes himself WAY too seriously. His nightmare is being laughed at. Laugh at Mario and you’re laughing at him. This movie is his worst nightmare.

What I'm getting from this is that Bobs ideal Mario movie would be the Sonic movie but with Mario. Damn that's gotta sting.

He’s still mad about the Bing Bing Wahoo movie

The only thing that makes Bob more autistic is how he is a 40 year old virgin and ignoring the incest, Chris had sex before unlike Bob who will be a perma-virgin

Dear god something tells me Moviebob doesn’t like Chris Pratt

 

[Positron]

No fucking clue.

No the thing is I think Moviebob will save face if his brother's kids like it because he would go on a pretentious spiel about how this Mario movie is meant for the new generation since he tends to go on pseudo-intellectual rants just to make himself seem smart.

But most likely they won't care and Bob will go on many rants about how much he hates it

 

[Pokemonquistador2]

This was why I decided to go the self-published route for my book because the sci-fi/fantasy community is infected with woke ideologues that I personally want nothing to do with. At one time I had aspirations of becoming the next Rowling, but after watching how the Hollywood megacorps have twisted almost every franchise I loved as a child into a "subversive" parody of itself. I can't even watch Star Trek: Discovery or Picard because of the constant and pointless profanity or the violent, dystopian atmosphere of the latter that betrays Roddenberry's vision. Why would I want Hollywood to corrupt something I put my blood, sweat, and tears into for years? I'm probably never going to make a profit from my books, but I would rather die penniless in a gutter than sell my soul to corporations who don't give a fuck about good storytelling.

Vox Day may be a sperg, but he did put a platform together for non-left-wing publishers. You could try submitting your work over there. The place is probably as autistic as Kiwi Farms, but they do have an established audience. As you can imagine, there's not a lot of explicitly non-woke media to consume these days, as Left Wingers have taken over most of the creative industries.

Oh boy. I can't wait to see MovieBob's reaction to the Mario film once it is finished. I hope the Minions make an appearance in it-that would be just like another Trump election night for Bobby. If the console wars was his personal Vietnam, then the Mario movie would be his personal Gulf War.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

Never fails:

I have no idea what Moviebob is trying to say.

To try and put it into context, there are basically two main types of environmentalism; the "let's get rid of anything that produces carbon and go back to the land" type, and the "let's carry on growing, but somehow do that in a carbon-neutral way". The second type is popular with people like Saikat Chakrabarti (the guy who wrote the Green New Deal proposals) and Varshini Prakash (the leader of a pretty big environmentalist organisation in Burgerland). The first type is popular with hippies who want to live on a commune, sit round and smoke weed every day, dude, and traditionalists (if you've ever heard of William Lind and "Retroculture", think of something like that).

People like Aimee Terese and Peter Coffin assume that people who want the second type of environmentalism actually want the first type of environmentalism so they can become feudal lords or something. Moviebob is (I think) trying to insult Peter Coffin for believing this, but he's failing because... well, he's Movieblob. Do I need to elaborate?

But most likely they won't care and Bob will go on many rants about how much he hates it

I can see him going on a psuedo-intellectual rant, sure, but it'll be about how much the movie sucks. Even if the kids like it, I can't see that preventing him from tearing into the movie because he's made it clear ever since this thing was announced that he hates it solely for the reason that it's animated. I'm probably wrong about him telling them they're bad kids to their face, but they likely won't sway his opinion.

Also, one thing I forgot to mention. If it sucks, that means he was right. And he would love that. He's been going on for years about how the Mario movie needs to be a live action Lord of the Rings style epic that leads into a big franchise that'll go on for decades, because that's the only way to properly do it in his mind. It being a silly kids movie would make him hate it, whether he admits it or not, especially if it was a blockbuster hit. And if it gets a sequel? He would be pissed. But if it fails? We'll get endless videos about how right he was that it was going to fail and how if Nintendo had just been smart enough to listen to him, everything would be okay. Hell, when you consider his reactions to Joker and Sonic, he'll probably make one of those videos anyway because he refuses to admit when he's wrong. But in the event of a win over this, the level of smugness coming from Bob could sustain his ego for years.

Considering the reaction the liberals on twitter are having to Pratt's casting makes me want it to succeed even more because if it does, Bob will whine even harder that the 'wrong people' are enjoying the Mario movie. But if it fails, then once again he's on the right side of history.
