TBH after how successful (and decent) Mario was I woulda argue if they learned anything they would have gone to the same team that made that work.
If anything giving up too much creative control and Nintendo not being hard to work with could also be a problem.
It will never cease to amaze how how a paragraph of information from Nintendo (or anyone) can be turned into a long article likely focused on SEO that doesn't really say anything.

Giving up creative control was what led to the original 1993 Mario film, which certainly made use of that creative freedom but was head-scratchingly bizarre (and a flop).
- 29athrowaway 3y agoThe 1993 Mario film was horrible. They discarded everything from the source material and replaced it with nonsense.
- LegitShady 3y agoIt's so bad it's actually funny to watch if you're watching it to marvel at how bad it is. An unintentional comedy.
- sharkjacobs 3y agoThe source material is that a new york plumber is travelling through a psychedelic fantasy landscape to rescue a princess from a tyrannical dragon turtle.
- mcmcdtx 3y agoI love the 1993 mario movie, I think you really summed up why I was so forgiving of the liberties it took. As a kid I had superimposed my imagination on the very limited source material and the movie just did that in a direction I didn't expect. I have also heard that in its development there were the designs of a much darker cyberpunk world which was ultimately vetoed somewhere up the ladder, that sort of explains some of the weird choices.

- sleepybrett 3y ago... as was the 2022(3?) mario film. Terrible in different ways (and not because of 'girl boss peach').

- 29athrowaway 3y agoA monarch is technically a boss (authority), so I don't see the problem here.
- sleepybrett 3y agoindeed, but just wanted to say 'the new movie is also kinda shit' without people putting me into the bucket of misogynists that review bombed the movie.
- dspillett 3y ago> It will never cease to amaze how how a paragraph of information from Nintendo (or anyone) can be turned into a long article likely focused on SEO that doesn't really say anything. That is only going to get more common, until a time (which may never come) that both the general public and search/index algorithms are entirely numb to it. There are a few outlets that keep getting promoted at me by facebook (“suggested for you” links despite the fact I've shown little or no interest in the past, in fact actively hidden previous content) where when I do look at the article it reads like it is either AI generated or is deliberately written to appear like some automated construct put together by an entity that didn't understand, or even hasn't seen, the event/show/what-ever it is reporting on. The volume of that sort of thing has increased significantly (or maybe is just being promoted to me significantly more) in the last year or so.
- inanutshellus 3y agoI'd suspect that a "gister" (as in "give me the gist") website comprised of a ChatGPT/LLM with retrieval-augmentation would be able to destroy this behavior. 1. Some gister app scans your favorite site for new articles 2. Gister sends LLM the news outlets you're interested in 3. LLM gives you the gist without the sensation of all the news. ... Honestly I suspect it'll be so distruptive that it'll probably require all news outlets paywall or die.
- vlunkr 3y agoSo articles will be written by AI, then we'll use a different AI to condense them into actual information. Very cool future, good work everyone.
