It's mental that people are heavily critiquing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. It's a kids film, I took my 5yo son to see it today and he LOVED it. It's like they wanted shocking drama, gut wrenching monologues, life lessons, deep metaphors. It's a slightly chubby Italian plumber and his brother in their overalls, on an adventure with a screaming mushroom. That's literally all that matters. It was never intended to be Shawshank Redemption or Ben Hur, was it? I thought it was great, loads of fan service, and introduced a new generation to the amazing Fox McCloud/Star Fox 💙

I get sad thinking about the mountains of artistic talent being squandered on the medium of gacha games

I have another proposal. We swap California for Japan geographically and leave everything else as is.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie currently has a 92% user average on Rotten Tomatoes. Very similar to the story of the original movie. Hated by most critics, loved by most people who went to see it in theaters.

yes, I’m calling YOU out specifically

People being mad at the Super Mario Galaxy movie for not having a deep story when every mainline Mario game in history had on average less than 10 minutes of cutscenes and almost no dialogue is kind of silly. Did these people want a coming of age film that explores the tragedy of getting older where Mario is now working a dead end job but then one night while drinking in his shitty apartment he says "i don't know Luigi, I just don't feel super any more" but then he turns on the news and sees that Peach Toadstool (moved to New York) of Peach Enterprises (basically Apple of this universe it's like iPhone but there's a peach logo instead) has gone missing so he looks at his brother and goes "Luigi we have to do something. What do you say? One more adventure?" and Luigi sadly goes "Sure Mario. It's what he would've wanted." And the camera pans to a fuckin picture of Toad, Luigi, and Mario playing baseball (game reference)(Toad is dead btw). So Luigi says some shit like.. "are we actually going to do this?" and Mario goes "Lets uhhh... Let's a go!" So they head on a massive adventure full of trials and tribulations where Mario has to relearn how to use all of his old powers but can't make fire no matter how hard he tries. Then in his final battle against the big enemy (bowser in like a mafia setting i guess) there's a moment where Luigi and Peach are about to be killed by enemies and Mario can't physically reach them so he shoots out a massive fire blast for the first time in the movie and it pans to him and it's symbolic of him both physically and literally getting his spark back? Is that what they wanted?

"The story is bad" is a great way to say you've never played a (mainline) Mario game lol

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?
