Mario Bros. Set to Jump to Big Screen in Movie Deal with Universal’s Illumination - Paging Movie Bob, Paging Movie Bob...

It kind of speaks volumes how the fictional plumbing company and telephone number that Mario & Luigi work for was the only real compelling ad that was aired for the Super Bowl.

Consumerism has gone out of control in the last decade and a half.
It's not like there's anything interesting going on beyond what you'd see any other day.

It's difficult to find what's legitimately considered as advertising in this day and age. I'd say advertising fell apart by the early-2010s. Compare the great ads of yesteryears such as these:


to these ads of today, and you'll obviously see a tonal shift in quality, and for the wrong reasons too.

EDIT: editing this is peepee poopoo

Well, I must be Nostra-fucking-damus, cuz two new posters came out with those two exact characters as the centerpieces:

Definitely not happening. Especially, when illumination has Nintendo monitoring everything.
LOL are you serious? Have you ever seen the people that "localize" Nintendo's games, where stuff like "head patting" was too sexist and removed? Just admit you are drunk on a nostalgia bait due to a Super Bowl ad that targeted your mindset.
 
Call me optimistic but I feel this;

will be more representative of their relationship in the actual movie. "Girlboss" Peach seems to be more for marketing's sake than anything else.

I'm pessimistic but realistic. The idiots making movies are currently a fucking California mind-hive where things like a traditional "save the princess" type plot is impossible. Jesus, these people couldn't even do Lois Lane without making her a crotchety bitch who hates Superman. Even Disney did movies recently where they shit on the idea of traditional princess tropes. There is no chance for this being presented in the normal logical way. Zero.
 
>points out Nintendo censors their games over feminazi/Anita Sarkeesian stuff
You gave a vague example with no elaboration. You didn't point out anything.

Assuming what you said was true, the actions of a localization team aren't the same as Nintendo's.
>admits you never played Nintendo games in the last 15 years
Don't put words in my mouth.

Again, take your pills.

Duh, of fucking course Peach won't get kidnapped. I'm just saying that right now, we haven't seen much to really get a feel for how Peach's character is in the movie. Now, if more clips come out and Mario is straight up incompetent and she's full-on

Then I will (sadly) eat crow.
