Same shit happened with Puss in boots 2, it's so obnoxious.I really wish there were more videos on YouTube talking about how huge this all is that weren’t pressing some weird “Mario crushed woke Disney” narrative.

....yepIn the same breath they'll bash Peach for being woke pandering!
Wow, so according to this thread, literally all of the scenes with licensed music did indeed have an original score made for them, including the scene in Brooklyn. Damn…
They really should release a cut of the movie with the original score put back over the licensed music…
It's a shame too, because Disney is a shell of its former self. Not because it went "woke", but because Chapek decided to churn out franchise after franchise with little penchant for quality.I really wish there were more videos on YouTube talking about how huge this all is that weren’t pressing some weird “Mario crushed woke Disney” narrative.
Alright, hot take: I kinda agree. The racing one used a quote from DKC and was awesome, but where the movie doesn't directly quote the games I honestly feel like the score is kinda bland and doesn't pop as much as might be needed for these scenes.Original 'Mario' Creator and Composer Unlock 'The Super Mario Bros.

In this article from the rolling stones, it sounds like they inserted licensed music first.
Then, with the help of what Kondo provided, the movie composer created original scores for all the scenes. illumination/Miyamoto removed some licensed tracks, but felt the ones left in the final cut worked better than the original music created.
Damn, if they really felt that way then there’s probably no chance of them releasing a version of the movie without the licensed music… =/Original 'Mario' Creator and Composer Unlock 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'

The Mario movie features a man fighting to overcome anxiety and trauma put on him by both his family and a former boss who reeks of toxic masculinity, features a woman without a traditional family growing into an independent person who isn't afraid to stand toe-to-toe with men in positions of authority, and the villain is a kid's-movie parody of an incel...
but they think Disney is the "woke" one?
I can't get it out of my head...
Second movie the main character better be Yoshi
They did my boy so dirty this film
He was there in one frame. The best part is it was exact same as in the trailer, it was not even extended.
Yeah that is what I meant. The end credits scene basically implying next movie will have Yoshi is really fun. But I want Yoshi to be a main character next movie, give my boy a true origin story.
if I had to guess there's already three loose ends at the end of this:Nintendo just implying Galaxy 2 tactics and am here for it.
-Why is there a Yoshi egg in the sewers of Brooklyn?
I always took it that the Yoshi egg was probably what caused the Brooklyn main to break by getting stuck inthe pipes.

Just before the wedding started you see one of the Bowser minion's bringing the egg on the table of gifts. So probably the egg got sucked like everything else.
So I'm having an interesting relationship with the Mario movie.
While watching the movie and immediately after (before the review post), I was kinda down on it. But the more thought I give it, the more I enjoy it, particularly as an adaptation. I enjoy how the characters were handled overall, a lot of the shots and expression work were exciting, and I appreciate the thematic cores that were there. The pace was still a little too fast, but the references and such were woven in with care and built into the story well.
Granted, what I said in my post is still true - this is not a top tier animated movie, and I want a sequel to push the humor or the emotion much further. But I'm earnestly excited for said sequel!
This is why I love Famiboards. 10/10.Had some thoughts today.
- After a few rewatches, I finally caught on that when Bowser's Fortress materializes in Brooklyn during the finale, it is over the empty construction lot that Foreman Spike was working in, therefore bypassing the implication of just how much destruction it would have caused by dropping down into New York City without warning. Like still a lot, but we can at least assume no one was on site at the time.
- Mario and Luigi moving to the Mushroom Kingdom and likely commuting back to Brooklyn for their jobs is actually a very practical thing to do, given the business of their original apartment, and that they now likely to not need to pay rent. It is also probably gives them a nice competitive advantage, which I will explain at the end of all this.
The timeline of this movie is kind of interesting, and Mario spends a least a few different periods without getting much sleep:- By my reckoning, it is lunch time when the movie starts with the brothers at the pizzeria, then they go to their first job, and return home for dinner. Mario goes to his room after walking out on dinner, where they see the news cast about the flooding in Brooklyn. It is firmly nighttime at this point, when they go into the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom
- When Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom, it is daytime. It is night for Luigi in the Dark Lands, but it's possible that it's perpetually night in the Dark Lands, or that the events are shown non-chronologically. But for now we're sticking with Mario. So, from Mario's perspective, he has gone from it being dark nighttime to bright daylight. This gives us three possibilities: The preceding events took longer than it seems, that the Mushroom Kingdom's time of day is out of sync with Brooklyn (12 hours I believe), or that time behaves differently altogether between worlds. For reasons I'll explain later, I believe the second case is the most likely.
- Mario and Toad make their way to the castle, and seem to arrive late afternoon. Peach then takes him to the training course, where he spends the evening and full night trying to complete it (Peach gets some rest during this, but Mario does not).
- Mario, Peach, and Toad set out for the Jungle Kingdom in the morning, and we do not know how long this takes exactly, but it does seem to take at minimum two days, as we get at least one scene of it being nighttime. We can assume that Mario finally gets some sleep on this first night, though even with the 12 hour time difference, he's still likely been up about two and a half days at this point.
- We can probably assume the journey did take more than two days by foot, as the return trip via kart takes the full night (I'll give more details in a bit.) Mario, Peach, and Toad arrive at the Jungle Kingdom during the day, and it is likely later afternoon/early evening by the time they depart with the Kong Army on Rainbow Road. They are ambushed during the night, and by the time Peach arrives back in the Mushroom Kingdom, it is dawn, and she is likely captured by Bowser shortly after. Mario and Donkey Kong also likely escape the eel around this time, as it is daylight when they emerge.
- The wedding seems to take place midday. However, when Mario arrives back in Brooklyn, it is predawn (this, combined with the entrance to the Mushroom Kingdom, is where I take the 12 hour time differential from). We also see Foreman Spike, probably on his way to the nearby construction lot, react with surprise at seeing Mario, though he quickly ribs him again. This kind of implies that a bit of time has been passed so that he's surprised to see Mario, but not enough to be overly shocked. The final battle sees the daylight get brighter, and it is fully daybreak by the time Bowser is defeated.
So based on the above, since Mario wakes up at 8:00 am in the final scene, Mario and Luigi have likely found a nice profitable niche as on call overnight plumbers, able to cater to Brooklyn while other competitors are closed, but able to keep a standard sleep schedule! Very Smart!

Interesting, that would explain why
The brother's family wasnt concerned about them not making it to their meal
I keep thinking about how Sonic's movies went, how the first one was a little breezy and kids-movie-ish and played it safe in most regards, then the success of that one with kids and adults led to a 2-hour sequel that expanded in every direction and went hard on lore.So I'm having an interesting relationship with the Mario movie.

Most movies start with licensed music first because those are just for internal purposes. Prior to the early 2000s you'd have storyboards with keyboards playing the music.Original 'Mario' Creator and Composer Unlock 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'

Yeah but there are different variables at play here, namely Nintendo's opinion. Also I know it's anecdotal but almost all the criticism I've seen of the movie from audiences has been that the movie was short and scenes/character beats didn't have time to breathe. You'd think that'd be the sort of feedback they'd take to heart.The last time Illumination felt comfortable doing a longer movie for a sequel it performed weak, so I think it'll depend on how willing they are to put their hand in the fire again.
Yeah, so much of it depends on what Nintendo and Illumination want for the property. The films will always remain reverent to the games, and Nintendo will surely always stay on board, so no worries on that front. But in terms of storytelling and plot, I can see them being more willing to go bolder and deeper just as easily as I can see them not wanting to mess with what they perceive as a good thing.I keep thinking about how Sonic's movies went, how the first one was a little breezy and kids-movie-ish and played it safe in most regards, then the success of that one with kids and adults led to a 2-hour sequel that expanded in every direction and went hard on lore.
And it makes me wonder.. after this massive success, will Nintendo/Illumination just make a sequel that mirrors this first movie's strategy, or will they open up and go for broke next time?

I just hope a Mario sequel doesn't have an unfunny 15 minute segue way that completely kills the pacing and has next to nothing to do with any of the characters that actually matter.
Godamn it, Sonic 2.
Edit: To add to the discussion further, I'd like to think Nintendo retain an interest in keeping Mario as prestige as possible. Hopefully they treat the movies like the mainline games in the sense that they continually try to find ways to improve - regardless of sales.
I fully believe Miyamoto is within the list of people that would want both Mr. Blue Sky and Take On Me in a Mario movie, so this story checks out.Original 'Mario' Creator and Composer Unlock 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'

If Sonic 3 is adherent to SA2, they'd be juggling the six playable characters alone, plus potentially Amy. Tom, Maddie and Agent Stone are probably the main non-Robotnik humans who will have a role, plus the GUN Commander.I think we'll see a much tighter direction for Sonic 3 in that regard. SA2 is a damn breakneck paced storyline for good or ill.
