You now remember Mario had a panic attack in the first movie.
What about it
>>152939123DO THE MARIO!
>>152939123He was fighting a god damn ten foot tall fire breathing lizard. He'd be stupid if he DIDN'T panic.
>>152939123okay?and?
>>152939123Wario is coming.
>panic attackhe was attacked by bowser
>>152939123everyone worries sometimes, its a childrens movie.teaching children that its bad to worry is not gonna have a positive impact.
>>152939123IS THAT A REALISTIC PANIC ATTACK IN MY CHILDREN'S ANIMATED MOVIE!? OH EM GODDESS!
>>152939175no its not a real panic attack, he didnt start taking his clothes off because hes too hot and start walking in circles.
>>152939123>Mario has only one personality trait in the entire movie: he never gives up>Every single problem he has is solved by single minded determination, never taking no for an answer >Climax happens and the writer realizes Mario hasn't grown or changed and this is a movie so the character needs an arc>Suddenly Mario is pissing himself at the first obstacle to success, and needs the commercial he fucking made to give him courage so he can finally...not give up Illumination is a jokeGood thing for them this is clown world
>>152939149He didn't panic in the games
>>152939202but you did.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I let my guard down to enjoy the climax.
>>152939221this isnt reddit, you can enjoy the movie and just say that.
The real Mario wouldn't hide from Bowser like that. No, he would've just dropped a fire flower from his inventory out of nowhere, spam Y on the gamepad and kill Bowser. Then, go in a pose and say "THATS A SO NICE!" while victory music plays.
cargo cult self help therapy is a poor substitute for writing.
Too unrealistic, only wypipo get panic attacks
>>152939201Clown world is a popular franchise getting a popular movie? I'd hate to see what your world looks like.
>>152939202He has multiple lives in the games.
>>152939238The real Mario has fought Bowser dozens of times already.
>>152939202He's just a regular paisano from Brooklyn in the movie.In the games, he grabs and yeets a massive turtle dragon like he's made of styrofoam.
>>152939123looks more like he's having a heart attack. All that pasta.
>>152939954OOF!
>>152939123>defenseless person fear a dangerous monsterwow, it's nearly like it's normal and shit.
>>152939238No, this is how the real Mario would beat Bowser.
He wasn't panicking, he got seriously throttled by Bowser and was beginning to doubt himself. Also, people are conveniently ignoring that this Mario is not the exact one from the games, but for the sake of argument, let's say he is the same one. This is his first time fighting against Bowser, so of course he's going to feel small and somewhat powerless.
>>152939966Mario if he vaxxed.
>>152939123why a character can't just be scared shitless now, everything have to be panic attack this, anxiety that. its funny they try to write 'real emotions' but don't even know how to write a real romance or romantic emotions for real,
>>152939123No, because I didn't watch that shit.
Everyone crying over modern Mario should watch the old anime instead.
>Mario spends the entire movie training and trying to improve himself>Luigi spends the entire movie caged up and doing nothing>The opening sequence of the film even shows that Mario is much more physically capable and less clumsy than Luigi>During the climax of the movie, both Mario and Luigi get a superstar, and are able to take on BowserLiterally everything Mario did in the movie was pointless. Luigi was able to accomplish everything Mario did by being given the convenient power up item both of them received at the same time.
>>152939163>teaching children that its bad to worry is not gonna have a positive impactNot having a panic attack =/= teaching children that it's bad to worry Worry isn't even what a fucking panic attack is. Maybe you should read more about it if you want to be able to help kids.
>>152940472Luigi is just that good, and also sexy.
>>152940472It's a pretty accurate depiction of their dynamic in the games, Luigi has more natural talent (he can jump higher than Mario) but less skill (his jumps are floaty and harder to control), which makes sense considering their personalities: Mario is the one who actively throws himself into dangerous situations, so he gets plenty of opportunities to hone his skills, but Luigi would much rather stay away from danger because he's a notorious coward, so he doesn't have quite as much experience as Mario. Remember the games where Luigi wasn't even playable, only Mario?
>>152940472But together they're the Super Mario brothers. Without him, he's just... regular Mario brother.
>>152939966>Mario when he reaches a part of Peach's castle he had never seen before>It turns out that he hasn't reached the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-basement and he only found the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub basement
>>152940500No, that's wrong though in the context of the movie. This opening scene shows early on that Mario is physically fit, and capable, while Luigi is clumsy and stumbling.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxTFQ42Cg2IIt's just genuinely bad writing in the movie. Luigi is not capable. Doesn't get an arc to make him capable. But receives a power up that (even just temporarily) puts him on the same level as the powered up protagonist, to defeat the villain on equal footing with Mario. Why did they do this? Because literally this. >>152940501 They needed a big shot at the end with Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad, standing as heroes.
>>152940501Is their last name still Mario?
>>152940520>This opening scene shows early on that Mario is physically fit, and capable, while Luigi is clumsy and stumbling.It's not a physical thing. It's all in the head. Luigi is naturally risk-averse, but when he overcomes his fear, he's just as capable as Mario. He didn't need a power up to save Mario from Bowser, did he? He did that entirely on his own. Mario couldn't beat Bowser until he had Luigi by his side, and that's why it's called THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE. Peach couldn't beat Bowser, Donkey Kong couldn't beat Bowser, Mario on his own couldn't beat Bowser, so who did beat him? THE FUCKING SUPER FUCKING MARIO FUCKING BROTHERS.
>>152940598So you get my point? Mario has a character arc, but Luigi doesn't. He gets to be as capable as Mario, randomly, because it needs to be "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," and they need to put Luigi on a lunch box. This isn't a well written movie. There's a reason it has like a 50% on RT.
>>152940472Luigi gained the confidence to get shit done after saving Mario from Bowser's fire breath.
>>152940621>Mario has a character arc, but Luigi doesn't. He gets to be as capable as Mario, randomly, because it needs to be "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," and they need to put Luigi on a lunch box. >This isn't a well written movie.NTA but I get that. Which is why it's weird how Mario struggled with the obstacle course but was able to do a bit of parkour at the construction site earlier in the film. It's like the writers forgot that little detail they wrote in there. I guess they had to show how capable and confident Peach was.
>>152939145COME ON DO THE MARIO!SWING YOU COCK FROM THE SIDE TO SIDESLAP YOUR DICK AGAINST HER FACECOME ON DO THE MARIO!CUM ALL TOGETHER NOW!
>>152940645It's not really weird. It shows that Peach isn't wasting her time by subjecting Mario to the obstacle course, because he has the skills he needs to get through it, he just needs to adapt to how they do things in the Mushroom Kingdom.
bing bing wahoo
>>152939123I don't remember that. I just remember him taking cover and getting a breather
>>152939184>he didnt start taking his clothes off because hes too hot and start walking in circles.Oh damn. So that's what that was.
>>152939201This is a perfect example of how midwits have just enough media literacy to get themselves into trouble. The Mario movie isn't a masterpiece, but you're imagining an issue where it doesn't exist just because you watched a few youtube vifeo essays on what a "character arc" is.
funny how Mario from the 1993 film was a much better "Mario" than the modern one.
>>152940800holding your chest = panic attack
