Why did Nintendo go with Illumination to make the Mario movie? They could have gone to anyone with their popularity, and went to the shovelware studio. Even if they wanted to stick to Universal they could have gone to DreamWorks. It could have been kino.
Because Mario games are shovelware
>>215045214You faggots can try all you want but this movie was fucking great. The pacing was a little fast, and Peach girl boss shit almost ruined it, but was still a 9/10.
>>215045379You are a literal retard and are undeniably not old enough to post here
It was probably impossible to make a Mario movie the critics liked as much as fans. the Mario universe is too weird for people used to movies. Better to appeal to fans.
>>215045214Because Illumination directors and writers just do what they're told by executives, in this case by Nintendo executives. Nintendo would not let some uppity fucks (like Pixar) try to push their "vision" onto such a sacred cow franchise. Japs are brutal capitalists for better or for worse.
Illumination destroyed gen alpha with the minions. There should be a nuremberg trial for them
>>215046336I thought minions were most popular with 50+ year old facebookers
>>215046336Tarantino said Despicable Me was the first movie his 4 year old son was interested in watching through.
>>215045214Because they wanted to play it safer than safe. They're still traumatised from the first time. To this very day.Or it's because they don't know/care that much about the American film industry. The only one they're actually going to take seriously is Zelda, which will be a 10/10 movie.
>>215045531That doesn't answer his question, and that's not even what they did. This movie felt nothing like a Mario game and everything like a generic Illumination movie. It was made to appeal to everyone and to be a commercial for the games.
>>215045214Real answer is Illumination is cheap, therefore less risk.And they with Universal in the first place to start building theme parks.
>>215045214Someone like Disney probably would expect a lot more creative control over the property and would just do whatever they want. Illumination has been much more successful than Dreamworks for the last decade or so.
>>215045214nintendo can say whatever and they'd do it, compare that to dreamworks where they generally have more pushback
>>215045214It was visually stunning.Everything else sucked.
>>215046404mob of kids with brocoli hair in suits going to see minions.webm
>>215048166Disney pitched "Mario gets kidnapped and Peach leads the other characters on a rescue mission" and Nintendo told them to fuck off.
>>215049802that was honestly nearly as funny as a Habbo Hotel raid, zoomers can be based sometimes
>>215045214Jews.That's all.Same reason their having a fag filled live action Zelda instead of a ghibli or ufotable big budget anime.>>215045379It was mid and no one was likeable.
>>215050474Fun fact, the Zelda movie casted the two whitest people on Earth as Link and Zelda and they're actually the correct age. Link is only 16 and Zelda's like 21. Also they're both attractive. And I think the Link guy was born in the same town as Robin Hood? That's a big deal to the briish I think. Nintendo will never put fags in any of their things.>instead of ghibliWhen asked the director said it will be closer to ghibli than lotr. Kys joo
>>215045379Its a terrible mario movie, it was just a fun kids movie, thats all
>>215051637More faith in this movie than in the next mario movie, but knowing reality it will problably be a good fun for the whole family adventure famtasy movie
>>215050383Sounds plausible. Modern Disney is run by fucking retards who have absolutely zero understanding of the appeal of their own IPs let alone others.
Nintendo is extremely cheap and has little quality control, so of course they'd go with some asshole studio that shoves pop songs and girl bosses in every movie. I could write a better script in 2 days for a tenth of the cost but the nips think it's best to just go for the basic bitch blockbuster template instead of trying.
>>215053444>little quality controlc'mon. tons of passion is put into their first party games.
