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.
