like when Soupy Sales was Donkey Kong

I assume this might be in the opening scene with references to the original Donkey Kong arcade game.

The eyes might be a bit too detailed (and why they gave them gums and detailed teeth confuses me) for me but overall I really like the Koopa-Troopa designs. They're extremely expressive.

Are you forgetting that Super Mario Bros. Super Show and the 93 live-action movie BOTH take place in Brooklyn?

If anything, these posters and the jokes being made out of them will make Minions memes and posters look like child’s play. I expect this to have great success and be on par with what the Minions tried to do with kids and young teenagers alike.

Looks nice enough expect for Awkward USA Boxart Peach

Second trailer's premiering right now!

Spoiler: Thoughts

It still looks promising. People in the chat are complaining about girlboss Peach but it makes me think of the old Nintendo Power Mario comics where she was probably the most competent member of the cast. Don't like how much of a klutz Mario is but I'll let it slide. I prefer DK's 3D design but I like how the movie one gives nods to how he originally looked. Also fuck yeah there are Yoshis in this film!

Overall I'm probably going to see it when it comes out.

I guess I'm an old asshole, but definitely wasn't feeling this one. Especially since they're making Peach more of a hero than Mario.

 

[Becomemysoulreaver12]

Not gonna lie, the first trailer actually made me think the movie could have been alright, but this new one gives me the impression that they are cramping as much of the mario universe into this movie as possible, which imo is the wrong way to do it, they should just have made it a simple story about mario going from ND to the mushsoom kingdom and saving Peach.
The new trailer makes it look like some kind of team movie where Peach is the leader, Mario is the guy learning to be a hero, they get DK to join them and rescue luigi who also joins them later on to finish the job, and then finish with some karting or something.

I'll just quote what I posted in the Nintendo thread

I guess I'm an old asshole, but definitely wasn't feeling this one. Especially since they're making Peach more of a hero than Mario.

They're clearly going the "scrappy underdog becomes great hero" route for this movie, so I think I'll wait and see what do for Mario's "hero moment".
