#Donkey kong was fun actually I rly liked him

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

Out of all the things that threw me through a loop in the mario movie, the bros taking their gloves off was the most oddly jarring. I said out loud “they have flesh hAnds!-”

#y'know among other things #beating an absolute decomposed horse here but. Chris Pratt's voice acting was somehow. worse. than I was expecting. #the um. the random real songs? Mr. Blue Sky and Thunderstruck? that was weird #the other music was WONDERFUL #I know Mario has been canonically like 25 for a while but it's still weird seeing him with his young parents and being fussy about food #and playing video games in his lil teenager bedroom #speaking of- the Mario-hates-mushrooms thing? what? #and his personality in general was just fucking weird but it would have been less jarring without the. lazy shit voice. sorry. dead horse ik #thought there'd be more luigi tbh #kamek and bowser absolutely stole the show they were fucking great #peach was generic... I didn't dislike her but. myeh. another Illumination quirky girlboss go off I guess #Donkey kong was fun actually I rly liked him #his beef with Mario was entertaining #anyway ok enough about characters #the movie was a visual feast and the action scenes were. fucking excellent. so clever. #which. says. a. LOT. given how much I normally hate illumination movies visually #oh yeah toad. he was there. same way I feel about him in the games so #dude I kept my eyes PEELED for Funky Kong. he should've absolutely been the mechanic or SOMETHINg. so sad. #it's funny the longer the movie went on the more and more and more I realized. oh. this is an illumination movie alright #take that as you will #anyway I sound like I hated it I didn't I fucking loved every second of it #when you go into a movie with the mindset of ''I'm going to tear this to shreds as light-heartedly as possible'' you have a great time #and you get pleasantly surprised along the way! #like I said! visual feast! clever fights! some fun characters! music! background gags and easter eggs! #bowser!

The Mario Movie Trailer is gonna start rly whacky and silly with at least one fart joke and then the fun pop song is gonna go silent and it's gonna cut to Mario going "I need to do this, Luigi. Its not just about saving the princess anymore. This is my chance to prove that I am more than just a plumber. This is my chance to be a hero." and then Wake Me Up by Avicii will start playing and you will see Mario and Luigi travel through various locations that kinda resemble places in the games

And in the actual movie there's gonna be the second act lowpoint scene where Mario loses faith in himself after a big failure and he walks away from the evil castle and Luigi is gonna be like "Where are you going?? We need to save the universe!" and Mario is going to take off his hat and look at it while saying "who are we kidding, Luigi. We're no heroes. I'm done." and he will drop his hat into the dirt and it will cut to luigi taking a few steps reaching his hand out like "but-,." before he lowers his head and then it will be a closeup shot of the hat while wind blows more sand or smth on it and in the background you see Mario's feet walk away

Then we will get a sad montage of Mario going back through all the previous places they travelled through, but in every place there are Mario characters that thank him for helping them previously in the movie, and slowly build his self confidence back up, it will culminate in a donkey kong scene or smth where DK seth rogan voice is like "i was just an angry ape before i fought you and you made me see reason, if anyone can do this its you.... Super Mario." and Mario will be like "but...." and you'll hear Luigi's voice from off the screen "not buts about it, big bro." and there will be a fwwwosh sound as Mario's hat is being thrown back to him. Mario looks at Luigi, who goes "Us brothers need to stick together. What do you say?" Mario looks at the hat. "I say..." puts it back on his head. "...we have a princess to save!!" Action music starts playing, cut to the same setup as before where he failed but this time he does it
