Join us as we discuss topics such as:
Devio and Drewigi
Your Princess in another castle
The Music actively took away from the film
Music tried to set a nostalgic period but it didn't hit
Started feeling a little too Shrek and not enough Wreck it Ralph
Drew had a moment with the Movie Clerk
Nostalgia bating was heavily front loaded
Fan service versus knowing and honouring the source material
The elder sibling is always Mario
Payed homage to Luigi's Mansion
Was the inclusion of Mario Kart too much?
Needed a separation of Smash Brothers and Donkey Kong
Was nice that the Kart scenes were not portrayed as a race
Including the smaller details of Donkey Kong's world
Nintendo does own all the Donkey Kong characters, Rare owns a bunch of them
Did a great job of copying the aesthetics of the different Mario games
Nhilistic Luma is the best
Bob Hoskin's Mario Brothers is the pinnacle of film making
Starfox has one game that's been done 6 times
Maybe this will open the door for more video game adaptation
Potential for Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid series
Metroid should be an Anime
Starfox could be a cellshaded film
Zelda the musical, let's go
The story of Zelda is already being told in the most optimal way
Aeon Flux is a good proof case for a Metroid series
Characterization in the film was in tune with the demographic
Nothing special about the story or characters
Mario and Peach have the least personality of all the characters in the Mario world
Just a reminder... Peach is the ruler of a Kingdom in wartime
They did not overdue the Girlboss
Girlboss was not her defining character trait
Mario is a blank slate, a neutral mask
Luigi's arc was a tearjerker
I'm sorry, Bowser being a simp is canon
There was no need to push complex characters for proper movement of the story
Sunshine and Galaxy are the best Mario games
Refreshing that the movie was not pushing social commentary
A wild old-man Drew and old-man Dev appeared
Tanuki Mario is best Mario
Drew would like a few more Easter eggs
This is a Mario thing, this is a Zelda thing... never shall the two meet
Drew and Devon discuss their console gaming history
Now, Sonic is a complex character
Drew and Dev talk about the move previews for TMNT - The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and Into the Spiderverse
...
Move over Rayearth Mario is the greatest Isekai
