I did not care for The Batman.

@frank6669996669 @queenie4rmnola You know what else would be dope? Being able to just steal everybody's shit all the time, just taking things without having to get permission or pay for it. Can you guess why we don't do that?

@queenie4rmnola Black people do too. Having slaves would be dope, you have to stop lying

White people want slaves

@Dystopianwrld17 @cahirrrrrrr @WoobackErnesto @h_m_z_h_ @UncannyKam Yes, the comics have very little of that at all. It's not really a thing Superman has ever been about. He normally does his best not to kill anyone, even his enemies.

@cakedpotatoes @cahirrrrrrr @WoobackErnesto @h_m_z_h_ @UncannyKam Why ?? because I like scenes with a bit more gore?

I love you scott but this is like a fart vs a solar flare

@Dystopianwrld17 @cahirrrrrrr @WoobackErnesto @h_m_z_h_ @UncannyKam You would hate Superman comics if you ever try reading them

@cahirrrrrrr @WoobackErnesto @h_m_z_h_ @UncannyKam Unfortunately you're right 😂....it would've been better if superman was decapitating niggas😂

@evankinney I can't imagine posting this without feeling immense shame

just saw the new mario movie don’t listen to the haters yes, it’s pure nostalgia bait yes, the story isn’t deep yes, it is everything i wanted it to be

@ToastyZelda @clericstop004 @LegendofH3r0 Project Hail Mary was so good! And I didn't even need to be a fan of the book to enjoy it!

@cakedpotatoes @clericstop004 @LegendofH3r0 You’re right that it’s a broader problem with Hollywood. Nostalgia is the reason we get endless remakes, reboots, and sequels. I’m glad Hail Mary is doing well. Maybe we can get more new book adaptations instead of endless nostalgia slop.

Not every movie needs a super serious, deep story with heavy emotional arcs or "important" themes. Some movies, especially animated family ones like these, are allowed to just be pure fun: colorful, fast-paced, packed with references, and built like a video game come to life. The critics keep treating the Mario movies like they’re supposed to be the next Inside Out or Toy y Story, demanding tight plotting, profound character growth, and cinematic "weight." But that’s not what this is. It’s a celebration of Nintendo’s world. These movies resonate perfectly with their target audience, the critics are just out of touch.

@clericstop004 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 I think it matters a lot actually because the movie and theater industry is already struggling and Hollywood continuing to churn out brainrot like this is exactly what's alienating audiences. This is bigger than one subpar movie it's part of a trend that's making the world worse.

@cakedpotatoes @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 And you dumb fuck because you want to be disrespectful calling people morons. If you have an issue with Mario movies making tons of self references for their fans. Don’t watch them. Idk why it matters if the non fans get it. Not everything is for everyone.

@SupItsGryff @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 Yeah, I think everyone is aware that there's an extremely basic plot that a lot of people just weren't satisfied with. When people say "it has no plot," that's so obviously hyperbole and it's not my fault you can't see that, so no goalposts have been moved.

@cakedpotatoes @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 That's not what this movie was though, it had a plot. If you didn't like the plot that's fine but that's not the argument that's being made here. Stop moving the goal post.

@clericstop004 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 When did I say I want zero references? Learn to read and comprehend before you put words in my mouth. I literally said references aren't the problem it just needs to be built on more than exclusively references so that it can also be enjoyed by people who aren't superfans. Moron.

@cakedpotatoes @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 So you want a videogame movie to stand on its own without any references to its 40year legacy? Why the fuck make that movie then? Is a Mario movie for Mario fans. If thats your issue than idk what to tell you man.

@MikeOdysseyYT Show me one person who said they wanted soul-searching monologues, or important life lessons wrapped in dark, brooding metaphors. Because all I've seen is people asking for a basically coherent story and I think a lot of you just don't really know what that means.

I'm feeling heated and this needs to be said. Some critics and content creators are out here treating The Super Mario Galaxy Movie like it just failed a college-level film theory exam.42% on Tomatometer? Really? Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach blast off on a wild, colorful adventure across an entire galaxy full of wonder, power-ups, gravity-defying madness, and pure Nintendo charm — and somehow that’s not enough for some people. They wanted drama. They wanted soul-searching monologues. They wanted important life lessons wrapped in dark, brooding metaphors. Newsflash: That’s not what Mario has ever been about.Mario has always been simple, brilliant storytelling at its core: One crazy event (a kidnapped princess, a new galaxy in peril, Bowser being Bowser) kicks off an explosion of pure adventure. You jump in, you explore, you have fun, you save the day. The “message,” if you even want to call it that, is light, wholesome, and timeless: enjoy life, cherish your friends and family, and embrace the ride. It doesn’t need to preach. It doesn’t need to lecture. It just needs to be fun.Yet here we are — grown adults with serious review voices acting disappointed that a Super Mario movie didn’t deliver the emotional weight of an Oscar-bait drama. Creators like Andres from GameXplain openly expressed their letdown, and they’re not alone. The huge gap between the critic score (42%) and the audience Popcornmeter (91%) says everything. Here’s the reality check they desperately need:Turn your brain off for two hours. Stop looking for subtext that isn’t there. Stop demanding every children’s movie be a profound commentary on the human condition.Mario isn’t trying to fix your existential crisis. He’s trying to make you smile, cheer, and maybe hum the Galaxy soundtrack on the way home.Some of these reviewers have completely lost touch with what made Mario magical in the first place. It was never about deep, heavy messaging. It was about adventure — pure, unapologetic, galaxy-spanning joy.If you can’t enjoy that anymore… maybe the problem isn’t the movie. It’s you.

@clericstop004 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 Is any of that enjoyable for people who don't know the references? No, it's not, hence the fact that the movie can not stand on it's own, you need to have extensive experience with the rest of the franchise to enjoy it. This is a problem for any franchise.

@cakedpotatoes @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 Yeah cuz the movies are celebration of all those games & legacy. A fun ride with callbacks to older games & set pieces like the castle getting taken away from Galaxy 1, finding Yoshi in the sand kingdom. Wart owning a casino with tons of Mario 2 references. Yall just hate fun😂

@rafaelcarollo_ @quinde_jeffrey @LegendofH3r0 Dog you have like thirty posts in a row glazing the movie and complaining about critics obviously you care quite a bit lmao

@quinde_jeffrey @LegendofH3r0

@clericstop004 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 You can jump into just about any of the Mario games with no exposure to the rest of the franchise and still have a good time because the gameplay is good enough on its own that you don't need to have played the others to enjoy it. It's the opposite with the movies.

@clericstop004 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 No, it's not. If they made a Mario game with no platforming and you just run in a straight line past a bunch of references to other Mario games in the background, that would be a trash game because it has bad gameplay. That's essentially the game equivalent to the movies.

@SupItsGryff @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 Enjoying references isn't the problem, the problem is when something's only appeal is just references. Most Zelda games can stand on their own with gameplay and art direction and wouldn't lose much if the references were removed. Same goes for Mario games that make references.

@ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 So in other words what every Zelda fan does when there's a reference to a past game in the newest one

@LazySage7 @ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 So it's basically just an ad that you pay to watch

@ToastyZelda @LegendofH3r0 Yeah it’s not standing on its own. Not trying to either. It’s a companion piece to everything that is Mario. It’s brand building. Merchandising. It exists by standing on 45 years of previous media, not by trying to stand on its own. You can like/hate it but understand wht it is.

@LegendofH3r0 People keep acting like the only options for storytelling are extreme drama Oscar-bait or brainless slop and there's actually a pretty comfortable middle-ground where Mario should aim for. That's what the Sonic movies do, that's what comic films mostly do, and it works well.

@LegendofH3r0 Nobody's actually asking for some deeply profound, emotional revolution of a narrative. People are asking for the bare minimum: a coherent narrative with events that feel like they matter and build towards a satisfying climax.

@elgoritv @vaelor0 Who's Spawn?

@vaelor0 Luke Cage.?? ? what??? STORM, BP, Blade and Spawn

Black Panther, Storm, Luke Cage and idk who else

@Skooch I never wanted a Mario movie at all, actually. The first one was already a mistake, and now they're doubling down on making slop.

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 "if you expected a [video game] movie to have actual depth that's on you 😭" argument that people are absolutely gonna have as a reaction to not liking this movie is why we're never gonna have good video game movies lol
