We can only pray Nintendo had people supervising it the way Charles Schultz's grandkids supervised The Peanuts Movie to make sure Blue Sky didn't fuck it up.
Because Illumination is to me the most creatively bankrupt animation studio these days. They started off okay with the first two Despicable Mes but it was all downhill from there. Minions 2's final trailer was the most obnoxious shit I've seen all year. Just tons of screaming and barely anything else. I pray to god Nintendo doesn't let them release a Mario movie that is the usual Illumination shtick because if so:

Looking at the poster just makes me wish that nintendo had more powerful hardware, just imagine a great looking Mario game at 60fps.

Mario is skipping squat days...

If anything, this just proves there is little to gain with that.

Well that poster looks amazing. We'll see about the rest I guess.
The issue is, writing in Mario games is never strong, the story is never anything but basic, Mario is a character like loves shrooms and turning into animals when he touches random objects, that's it, also he's some kind of cuck for the princess.
If this story that they shit out is pure drivel I just hope it doesn't become cannon, we don't need a talking Mario in the games, those are fine just the way they are.
If anything, this will just be a cruelty to fans showing what a Mario could look like if it was on a machine with power... yes it wouldn't be CGI quality, but it could at least be rendered much nicer and a closer analog to this animation.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but my gut reaction is that it's going to be so "kid friendly" that parents are going to be bored and kids are going to feel patronized.

I have extremely low expectations for the film, which is fine, since it's for kids and I don't want my sick stranglehold on my own childhood nostalgia to prevent an actual child from experiencing joy over this.
That said, aside from the weirdly excessive texturing on Mario's clothes, the poster is actually kind of awesome. I like how it captures the verticality of the games' landscapes. It's definitely more artful than I was expecting.

I want to see Bowser.
Also, the more I see the preview picture, the more I want to explore this world in a game with these graphics, damn, it's beautiful !
Marketing and advertisement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love how with everything going on in that pic your first reflex is to check out his ass.
Maybe they have a cast discussion.

Plot twist.
Nintendo secretly used switch 2's hardware to display the movie graphics as their way to lowkey reveal their next console.

Is CGI falling out of favor? Why the push for live action with games?
Same with live action Anime on Netflix, That One Piece live action, is there any hope at all for that?

It is, the movie was so bad they had to delay it because everyone who saw it hated it. This is absolutely gonna be minions bad.

Just like superhero movies. Writing means nothing when it comes to blockbuster success these days, it's about hype.

they couldn't even get Ghost in the Shell or Death Note right which was much easier to do live action for, let alone very cartoony and over top anime like One Piece.

Huh? I'm pretty sure this is a fully computer animated film. There's no live action as far as I know. Look at the poster.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
So no Silksong shadow-drop this time either, uh.

Everyone waiting to hear Mario, but I'm more pumped to hear Charlie Day's Luigi.
