>/v/ really thought the movie would touch upon Rosalina's backstory and the storybook lmaoooo
>>736129748Not really, they announced brie larson as rosalina so i knew shit was fucked.
How bad is this movie that even the usual shills won't resort to the "its just a kid's movie lighten up" excuse? So far every review just says its a shallow, ADHD pastiche of references and toilet humor. I mean goddamn even your usual Dreamworks movie is NOT that bad.
>>736130191Someone on reddit said it reminded xhem of AI and they all lost their shit.
>>736129748>Mario Game>Mario Movie>Story??
>>736130639Yes? When you bring a game to movie form some sort of story is expected otherwise its just one long screensaver
>>736130728Having expectations for a property so generic they call him "Mr.Video Game" like its positive was kinda fucking stupid
Can't wait for the 3rd movie to be Odyssey themed and it's just more 90 minute I GET THAT REFERENCE slop
>>736130639They should had just called it Mario 2. Putting Galaxy made people think it'd be focused on that since it's the title.
>>736130842Are we devolving into people saying it doesn't matter if it has a plot to defend the movie?
>>736130947and it somehow is still among the greatest of all video game movies ever made. Jesus the game -> movie pipeline is cursed.
Does Miyamoto hate his protégé Koizumi?
>>736131071I aint defending shit im just saying youre retarded for expecting a fucking bing bing wahoo movie to be goodits MARIOMario has NOTHING interesting to it, its a fucking mass appeal farm, not even an ounce of originality.
>>736131221Begone tourist.
>>736130842the fact that a wii game where most of the focus went on gameplay and waggle gimmicks still has a far deeper, more coherent and well executed story than a movie really tells you how dogshit and devoid of passion the movie is.
>>736129748>say you're making a movie based on the ONE Mario game with a more fleshed out story than "save princess peach">be surprised when fans of that game expect the movie to borrow from that original storyI hate Illumination so much
>>736131339>"The Quiet Sadness of Mario Galaxy" but unironicplease bro
>>736131221You could've answered the question sincerely instead of defending the movie by saying "Mario was never good."
>>736131430bro the movie is just ADD reference slop and cringe failed attempts at humor.literally anything is better and has more heart than that trash.
>>736131567Even The Last Jedi?
>>736133497TLJ was better than TROS and it sounds like the Galaxy movie is on the same level as TROS.
>>736133726Oh right i managed to forget TROS was a thing, okay that sounds about right
let me guess, she's just another ebin girlboss in the movie?
>>736133905Worse, she's a damsel in distress who only has 15 minutes of screen time and gets kidnapped by Bowser Jr.
>>736129748I didn't really expect groundbreaking cinema but I would have liked something more than blitzing through like ten mario games and throwing in fucking starfox for no goddamn reasongenuinely baffling movie, it looks like they didn't think they were getting a 3rd movie so they just crammed everything they could into it
>>736130191It's quite literally jiggling keys in your face references the moveIf you thought the pacing in the first movie was bas its like 10 times worse
>>736134010they made sequel bait at the end as well. They're going to milk it for a 3rd movie, regardless if the movie flops or not (it won't but I bet it won't do as well as the 1st)
>>736133989>having girlboss peach be kidnapped would fuck with their baffling direction they took her so fucking rosalina gets kidnapped instead despite that not fucking happeninggenuinely retarded
>>736129748MattPatt came up with a better backstory for Rosalina than Nintendo. In the game, she has this air of being an ethereal, fairy like character. When the universe is destroyed, Rosalina remains so I got the impression that she was some kind of immortal cosmic being. Making her just be Peach's Sister kinda detracts from her appeal for me. Meanwhile, MattPatt's idea of her being from an earlier incarnation of the universe elevates that appeal.
>>736130191Makes sense that with the success of the first movie Nintendo would take a step back and let Illumination do what they do best. Make movies that suck shit.
>>736134010People think they're doing a speed run to a Smash Bros. movie.
>>736131405Illumination can't do an emotional sad story like that, because there's no room to insert a luma screaming SIX SEVEN or mario acting like an incompetent retard so token female can do it better than him.
>>736136071They didn't learn from DC and other faggots, that to get your big payoff team movie you need to take your time and actually flesh out everyone. They'll make a shit 3rd mario movie with half the screentime taken by pikachu, samus, and fire emblem man, none of it will matter beyond key-jangling, just so at the very end they can have a post-credits master hand scene or some shit like that, then dive head-first into a retarded smash movie.Which honestly I hope it goes that way, I don't trust these fucks making a good Star Fox/Metroid/Earthbound movie.
>>736136071I saw someone compare it to scoob trying to jumpstart a fucking hanna barbera cinematic universe and it just seems really aptunfortunately I don't see this tanking like that did so we're probably getting a fucking incoherent illumination romp through all the nintendo shit as the 3rd movie
>>736130842>Mr. Video GameIt's Mr. Gay, anon.
>>736130191>I mean goddamn even your usual Dreamworks movie is NOT that bad.DreamWorks has been mogging Pixar for like the past decade
>>736133989 lmao so they managed to piss off both sides >not a girlboss >not a dignified cosmic entity either >just sidelined for 80% of the runtime so bowser jr can have something to do what was even the point of hyping her up in all the promo art then?? galaxy had this whole melancholy space-mom vibe and they turned it into saturday morning cartoon kidnapping fodder. illumination really saw one of the few mario characters with actual mystique and went “hmm yes, marketable hostage.” absolute key-jangling cinema.
>>736129748>Rosalina's backstoryWho cares? Unless its about her "backstory", if you know what I'm sayin.
Miyamoto finally got his way on Super Mario Galaxy after 20 years.
It's actually worse than I was even led to believe>>>/co/153043401Peach isn't just Rosalina's sisterThe reason she's so strong isn't because she trained with the Toads since she was a baby, it's because she also inherited her super cosmic powers and uses them in the climax when she saves her from Bowser Jr's MacGuffin
>>736140948Je. Sus. CHRIST.But hey the sales will totally heckin own the snoys or whatever so it's okay
>>736140948Peach? Gigastacey that doesn't need Mario.
>>736131405Seriously. It's fucking Galaxy. It doesn't need to borrow from any other game. I hate Illumination, but I hate the insufferable cunts who are going to be like "it's a kids movie!!! stop being critical!!!" way more.
>>736131221You would have a point if we didn't have RPG titles like Superstar Saga or Paper Mario 64 that are actually good. Fuck off.
Nintendo fans deserve this.
>>736140948>Peach is Rosalina's sisterExcuse me, what?
>>736129748Isn't rosalina implied to be a previous princess?
>>736140948>>736141954Is that gonna be canon to the games now?
>>736140948This dosen't make any sense in the story book it's obviously the far past, peach and rosalina can't be from same era.
