TVTranscript
00:00Hello procrastinators, Sam here, and I literally just got back from the Mario movie only a couple minutes ago.
00:06And I'm here with my good old friend, garrulous64, I could not think of a better person to yap about
00:12this movie to than him, the Mario man himself.
00:16Dylan, how are you doing, my friend?
00:18Did you just call me old? Oh, old friend. No, no, I got it.
00:21Old friend, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would never do it. Dylan, I have gray hairs now.
00:25No, I got it.
00:25Anyways.
00:26Yeah, no, no, hi, glad to be here. I love Mario.
00:29Yeah, and for this video, I feel like it's just going to be us mainly yapping, giving our brief thoughts.
00:37There will be spoilers, so I'll just say real quick, if you haven't seen the movie yet, I recommend go
00:42out and see it.
00:42If you watch this channel, if you're into gaming, I say go see it.
00:47If you're a Mario fan, go see it. I recommend it.
00:49So yeah, leave the video now because we're about to spoil it.
00:52Three, two, one. I cannot believe Princess Peach dies. That was crazy.
00:58I can't believe that her great-great-grandmother was actually Lola Bunny.
01:05You know, I was trying to find something really quick and it didn't work out.
01:09Maybe this is where we differ, but I feel like I don't have a lot to say about the movie
01:12in a weird way.
01:14And that's not to say I hate it. I had a really good time.
01:17I'll just say, again, I had a really good time with this movie.
01:20A lot of laughs. I was laughing a lot with the jokes that were in this movie.
01:25I do have some notes on my phone here. Just a few, not a lot.
01:29I will just say, going in, I saw the reviews from the critics.
01:35And that was like at, what, 35% or something like that?
01:38And I knew it's critics. After having now seen the movie, I now see where both sides land and why.
01:47Because if you're a fan and you went to see this movie and you understand the references,
01:52you played the games and you get the world enough to where things don't need to be explained every second,
01:59this movie's for you.
02:00It is fast, fast, fast. It does not stop.
02:03It is honestly very unapologetically fast.
02:07And to some respects, I could respect it.
02:09Very different. It feels like sometimes studios are very hesitant to do that.
02:13But in some respects, I could say this was, you know, it's fast.
02:16And I could see why critics who probably don't know and or give a shit about the game lore or
02:24music,
02:25its story and how things work and its quirks,
02:27why they would either feel lost or they would be pissed as to why this movie's not explaining anything.
02:36But you know what?
02:38Honestly, at the end of the day, if you're going to see this movie,
02:42it's because you're a Mario fan or you're a video game fan or you're a pop culture fan.
02:47You're not going to see this movie if you're 70 years old,
02:50unless you're taking your grandkids to it.
02:51If you are doing that, shout out to you for being so nice and bringing your grandkids to this movie.
02:55But I mean, that's what I will say in regards to the reviews.
02:59Do you have anything to say about that, Dylan?
03:01Yeah, the reviews, I had like a couple people that I know start saying things like,
03:07oh, I saw the movie earlier today, this and this and this, no spoilers,
03:11but this, I didn't like this, this and whatever.
03:13And, you know, I went into it being like, okay, you know,
03:17I wasn't going into the first one expecting a masterpiece.
03:20And, you know, it wasn't, but I had fun.
03:24And then at the same time, I was like, you know what?
03:26I'm just going to keep my, my, uh, because the way people were describing this was like,
03:31it was a literal roller coaster ride.
03:33And I didn't get that exact same feeling, at least not through most of it.
03:39Like, some of it was very fast, but I was expecting literal breakneck pace
03:44with the amount of stuff they showed off beforehand.
03:46But the, the reviews, honestly, I, I think I was like, all right,
03:50I'm just going to have no expectations.
03:51And I went in and I, I had fun, not a good movie, not a great movie,
03:55but I liked it a lot.
03:57Yeah.
03:57And, and, you know, and, you know, I'll say like when, as a Sonic fan,
04:03if I had to choose between a movie like this or Sonic movie one, I'd choose this.
04:07I'd choose this any, any day of the week over Sonic movie one,
04:11Sonic movie two and three.
04:12Those are completely different beasts, uh, in, in terms of tone and their direction.
04:16But like, I, again, this is, and I will say too, and by the way, again,
04:21we can talk about spoilers at this point.
04:22There's no, we're already in the review part of this, but I will just say,
04:26uh, the visuals are incredible.
04:31Um, this movie is clearly showcasing that front and center and, uh,
04:37illumination is just cooking, absolutely cooking.
04:40And I do want to say too, on the tone in regards to like the setting of this movie
04:45and, um, what it's, what it's doing here with, uh, not just the, you know,
04:52the, the, the, the graphics and the, and the resolution is just how beautiful
04:56this world is.
04:57The music.
04:59I will say as a Sonic fan, I'm jealous as hell that you guys get your songs
05:07in your movie.
05:08And it's not an Easter egg.
05:10It's not like a, Oh, stop breathing and stop chewing your popcorn.
05:13You got to really listen to get the five second reference.
05:16No, you guys get music in your movie and that's fantastic.
05:20I wish we had that.
05:22I want that.
05:23Um, it is really nice.
05:25It is really nice.
05:26And it is throughout the entire movie.
05:29It is always there.
05:29And you know what?
05:30Video game directors.
05:31It's not distracting either.
05:33It was nice.
05:34It put me in the immersion.
05:36It was, it was nice.
05:37You know, it was great.
05:39Huge thing about that too, is there really weren't any big needle drops in this either.
05:45Like the first movie had a lot of times where they replaced songs off of the soundtrack
05:49they made with pop culture songs, right?
05:53This movie had like one, I think like at the very start, right?
05:57With Yoshi.
05:57I think it was.
05:58Okay.
05:59I will say, dude, I will say on the topic.
06:02I don't, I don't hate needle drops, but it was very like, yeah.
06:06If you didn't like that the first time around, like the music situation is better this time
06:09for sure.
06:09It was a very funny scene.
06:11Uh, Yoshi altogether is one of my favorites in the movie, but I will just say this right
06:15now was really good.
06:17I was not expecting a Sean Diddy home song, dude.
06:23I can't believe it.
06:25I was like, dude, I can't listen to this song.
06:27Like, yes, the music's iconic.
06:29Yes.
06:29It's from the nineties, but I just, dude, it's rude for me now.
06:32I was like, what?
06:33Yoshi really is.
06:34He's one of the best parts.
06:36He was really good the whole time.
06:38Yeah.
06:38Let me, let me get this out of the way.
06:39My favorite characters in this movie, which this is probably where it might shock some people
06:43to learn this, my favorite characters in this movie are Yoshi, Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Fox.
06:53Those are my favorite characters.
06:55Fox is my favorite Mario character.
06:56Yeah.
06:57But that's the part that's so funny.
07:00I'm going to, I'm just going to rip the bandaid off.
07:02And you know, there's way more I have to say.
07:04I have way more notes, but I'm going to, on the top of this, I need to, I just need
07:08to
07:08say this Mario does like nothing for like 90% of this movie.
07:17I, it's not until I want to say the very end where it feels like Mario's not really the
07:22focus.
07:24He's just traveling for a majority of the movie.
07:27He's traveling to catch up with Peach for a majority of it.
07:29And it's just like hijinks ensue.
07:32Peach is the main character.
07:33She's the main character of this movie.
07:35She's been the main character, but she is the main character.
07:37Yeah.
07:38Honestly though, that's kind of, I did actually say that to someone today because, you know,
07:43someone did say, hey, Mario's not really doing a whole lot in this movie.
07:47Not really.
07:48And that's interesting because in the first movie, it was very much about him discovering
07:53where he wants to be and where he ends up.
07:55And you know, he ends up in Mushroom Kingdom.
07:56And then this movie, they sort of like harken back to the thing about Peach not knowing
08:01where she's from.
08:02And then, you know, before I realized it, this is, this was not a Super Mario Brothers
08:06movie.
08:06This was, this was a Princess Peach movie primarily.
08:10It was.
08:10And it was just like the, the, the whole thing about her like leaving and Luigi and Mario
08:16staying back to look over the, the, the, the kingdom.
08:19Yeah.
08:20It wasn't my favorite idea of hers.
08:22Like, even when I saw that, I was like, okay, that's a bit different.
08:25But then we stayed there.
08:26And we stayed there.
08:28And I'm like, oh my God, they really, they really are the ones that have to stay back.
08:34Well, it beaches.
08:34And you know what?
08:35It's weird.
08:36I guess it's, you know, I guess it depends on the tone of the, of the universe.
08:41Right.
08:41You know, maybe they don't want there to be like one main part.
08:45They want you to get in transit in the world, multiple characters.
08:48And in that respect, I guess I could respect it.
08:49It's different.
08:50It's definitely different from what we're used to, but it was nice.
08:54And again, in the topic of just jumping all over the place, I'll say another note I have
08:59here was the first two thirds of this movie.
09:04It's weird for me to say that because it feels like it really was the whole movie, but mainly
09:07the first two thirds, I'll say three fourths of this movie is reference city.
09:13It is reference after reference after reference.
09:17And in my eyes, in some weird way, and I don't say this as necessarily a bad thing as if
09:22again,
09:22I'm a fan, so I'm going to like this stuff.
09:24If you're not a fan, I could see why you were just like, what, what's the point of all this
09:27eye candy as a fan?
09:29Again, I liked it, but I will say this.
09:32It feels like they, it feels almost like they were not confident that we're going to
09:38have another Mario movie after this one.
09:41So they decided to reference quite literally every single Mario game to ever exist, including
09:49Mario Maker.
09:51They referenced Mario Maker.
09:54That's one of my favorite references in the whole thing, because as soon as I saw Bowser
09:58Jr. sit down and go, check this out, dad, I literally, I was like, is he going to start
10:03putting down like, like a million bullet bill cannons and like a ton of whoops?
10:07But also the line he said, the line he said was so peak where he was like, I'm going to
10:12be your maker.
10:13And I'm like, ah, I get it.
10:14It's time to meet your maker.
10:15And I was like, yes, yes.
10:18There was a few things that were so clever, like how it switched between Mario and Peach
10:22in the level and then them on the screen in his 8-bit sprites from Mario Maker.
10:28I just, I fucking loved that.
10:29It was really cute just how it was working.
10:31It felt like a sprite animation from like a long time ago or something.
10:34It really did.
10:35And one of the funniest moments in the movie is when they lost and it was just him and
10:39Bowser just gasped at the screen.
10:41That was very funny.
10:43Again, Bowser Jr. and Bowser are some of my favorites in the whole movie.
10:48I wish they had even more.
10:49They were great.
10:50I, listen, I keep telling you, I need you to play the Mario RPGs more.
10:54You already played Paper Mario.
10:55I know.
10:55I need to.
10:56You know Bowser's awesome.
10:57There's so many more games where he's just the best character.
11:00He's like the best character in every game that he speaks in.
11:03But like, I did want to say about what you were saying, like, oh, I didn't know if they're
11:08going to get another movie after this.
11:09I'm pretty confident at this point that they are just setting up a Nintendo cinematic universe
11:17because the only reason Fox would be in the movie and my thought was, oh, Fox and other
11:25Nintendo characters exist in this universe because Nintendo wills it to be so.
11:29Like, the galaxies are very big or whatever.
11:30But the fact that he, like, explicitly they say, yeah, I got sent through a freaking wormhole
11:38and I ended up here in a different universe that I'm stuck here.
11:41Yeah.
11:41I was like, okay.
11:42All right.
11:43So we're setting up Smash Brothers.
11:45And my theory.
11:47My thought.
11:48I think it's going to be.
11:49I don't think it's going to be.
11:51I don't think Link is going to be involved because he's in a live action movie.
11:55I think that's going to be separate, but I think we're going to get Mario, Fox and Kirby
12:01at least.
12:02And probably Donkey Kong as like a, like a, like a little, like Super Smash Brothers movie
12:08because there's no way they do the original 12 fighters.
12:11There's no way we have 12 full characters in that movie.
12:13I, so going in, I will say going into this movie because they revealed Fox and when they
12:19revealed it, I was like bummed.
12:21They shouldn't have.
12:22I was like, why did they do that?
12:23You know what I mean?
12:23They really shouldn't have.
12:24His reveal in the movie was like set up like, who is it?
12:27But it's like, you gave it away.
12:30Not even, I just, you were talking about the music earlier.
12:32Not even are they unapologetically like, here's just an entire soundtrack of Mario music.
12:36Right.
12:37Here's some fucking Star Fox arrangements.
12:40Because who the fuck cares, right?
12:42What's happening?
12:43I jumped out of my seat when I heard the Star Fox remakes.
12:45It sounded crazy.
12:47But like, I was.
12:49Yeah, it would have been so much better if they did not reveal Fox.
12:52It would like, seriously, I would have been like, oh my God, you know, it would have been
12:55so much better.
12:56Like two points higher if they didn't do that.
12:58But going into this movie, because I knew Fox in the movie, because they revealed it.
13:02I was like, oh my God, there must be setting up a Mario universe.
13:06These after credits.
13:07I'm probably going to see Kirby.
13:08I'm probably going to see Samus.
13:10I'm probably going to see Samus.
13:11The after credits suck.
13:12That sucks.
13:13We're going to get there.
13:14We're going to get there.
13:15I wanted to talk about the after credits, but I was just like, it felt like the same
13:21way the first movie did.
13:22I'm like, you guys, I don't think you guys quite understand the point of after credits
13:26the way you should.
13:27You know what?
13:28It's so funny about after credits, though, because the first time they were like, he's
13:31in Yoshi, and they were like, everyone was like, wow, they're going to do a Super
13:34Mario World movie.
13:36It's like, no, they did the Super Mario movie.
13:40It is everything.
13:41It's everything.
13:41So the fact that it's just like Daisy.
13:43Technically, you did get Yoshi's Island for two minutes.
13:46You did get Yoshi's Island because they referenced everything in this movie.
13:49Can I say, by the way, too, I have that on my notepad.
13:51In that scene, I know we're jumping all over the place.
13:54This is how it was going to be, though.
13:55So when they turned into babies in that section, that was when a very adorable scene.
14:02I was laughing.
14:04I was like, oh, my God, Yoshi's Island reference.
14:05This is, you know, this is great.
14:08And Odyssey with the dimes are and all this stuff.
14:10Right.
14:10I will say this.
14:13This is where I realized where the critics stood and why they stood where they did
14:21and why I think in some regards they're valid in regards to.
14:25The story aspect of this movie, not necessarily the pacing, but the story, because they mentioned
14:29their frustration is like they're not trying to develop anything meaningful.
14:34Like these scenes don't have time to settle.
14:36They don't have time to build this universe.
14:38Like for newcomers, it's go, go, go, go, go.
14:41Eye candy, eye candy, ADHD, ADHD, that type of style.
14:44They mentioned like TikTok editing.
14:46Right.
14:47I will say it's basically like in Sonic games when you know, like it's Sonic Adventure
14:52when the whale starts running after running and the whales running.
14:54Like, you know, the whales are swimming after you and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:59And then it ends.
15:00Right.
15:00That's this movie, except it's just the whale over and over again.
15:05Right.
15:05It doesn't stop ever.
15:07Like there are very brief moments where it stops, but it's for reasons that lead to more
15:11whales.
15:12And it wasn't until that moment, though, where I realized, oh, like not only do I understand
15:18where the critics are coming from, but I think they are valid in some respects to the story
15:20because Mario and Luigi was turned into babies.
15:25Right.
15:26Peach and Fox saw that happen.
15:28All right.
15:29They go.
15:30They separate because Toad went to go find them during their scuffle with the dinosaur.
15:37They get turned back into adults.
15:40They walk back into the camp.
15:44Peach or Fox, nobody questions it.
15:48No one questions how they're back.
15:49Like I was just like that in that moment when I realized like when when there was absolutely
15:54no acknowledgement of that, I was like, I kind of get where how these movies differ from
16:01something like, say, the Sonic movies, because in the Sonic movies, they would explain it even
16:05if it would be a dumb explanation, they would just halfheartedly like mention what just
16:10happened and why or whatever.
16:12Right.
16:12Or halfheartedly.
16:14But this movie is so focused on going.
16:17It's like you you can see where it's like as an outsider, if if none of these eye candy
16:23scenes are appealing to you, I could see why this is like pissing you off.
16:30It's like it's like it is like a non movie.
16:33It's got yeah, like we were saying, it's just set piece after set piece.
16:37And the funny thing about the baby thing, it's so out of nowhere to like in all the trailers
16:44when they showed the babies.
16:46I was like, huh, there's another flashback.
16:48But why is Yoshi there?
16:50Has he met them before?
16:52And he just, you know, he just didn't know because they were born.
16:56And it was like they weren't born in the Mushroom Kingdom this time.
16:59So that's right in the way that like just being a gun that turns you into a baby is both
17:05really
17:05funny and also really fucking stupid.
17:08It's so good.
17:09It's just, but it's one of those things, though, too, where it's like all these set pieces.
17:14They're good.
17:16And I love them.
17:17I think the frustration that some might have about this in the pacing is it feels like
17:25there's no better way for me to say this.
17:27And I'm sorry for how crude this sounds.
17:29It sounds like they're shooting.
17:30They're shooting their load a little too soon on all of these.
17:34Because it's like I, I, you know, I would like that whole aspect with Yoshi and the babies
17:41was hilarious in Toad.
17:43It was hilarious.
17:44I wouldn't mind a whole separate side series.
17:47That was just that I wouldn't mind a whole, uh, separate movie with Mort, you know, the,
17:54the Mario two cast with Birdo, but like seeing Mort with a W or Wart.
18:01My bad.
18:01Sorry.
18:02Wart.
18:02I was like, who the hell is Mort?
18:04What are you talking about?
18:04I've only played funny enough.
18:06Mario two was the first Mario game I actually played actually on the game boy.
18:10Funny enough.
18:11But yeah, Wart.
18:12Sorry.
18:12No, it's okay.
18:15That's, I guess, you know what?
18:16Maybe it's a good, a good time as ever to talk about just all of the characters that
18:20are in this movie.
18:22They shoved in here.
18:23And, uh, I guess I could relate it slightly to the Sonic movies.
18:28Now, some people are like, oh, if you throw in all the characters at once, it's going to
18:32be a shit show.
18:33Sorry.
18:34It's going to be a wreck.
18:34And, uh, you know, I, I, on one hand, it's like, if you put three characters into this
18:40new movie, it's probably, it's going to be a little tough, I guess, if you keep bringing
18:44every single one back.
18:46Sure.
18:46It'll be tough.
18:47The Mario movie says, I don't care about that because none of them are going to be full
18:51characters anyway.
18:52So, like, we have things like, I don't even, I'm so confused about so much of it because
18:58I, I completely forgot we were on the getaway galaxy or the, sorry, the, uh, the gateway
19:03galaxy because they go through the gateway galaxy.
19:06They get there.
19:07They go through a wall in the gateway galaxy, which is, they didn't use the Mario 64 sound
19:13effect, which like, what are we even doing?
19:15That's a good thing.
19:16Should have been a picture frame.
19:18It should have been a picture frame.
19:19Either that or it could have been a picture frame of a casino or it could have been, yeah,
19:25you know what?
19:25It could have been like the big hawk mouth thing.
19:27They could have gone through that or something.
19:30But, uh, once they get in there, like, I, I loved all the character cameos.
19:35Of course, I did not think ever that I would see Wart and Mauser, Birdo and Clawgrip on a
19:44movie screen.
19:45I couldn't believe it.
19:46I couldn't believe it.
19:47They didn't add Fry Guy, which is ridiculous.
19:51He was the only one missing.
19:52Uh, but like, the whole thing about this thing is these characters, like even Wart, who has
19:57a speaking role, gets his, he gets beaten up, which is great.
20:02And one person I was talking to was like, I mean, I've heard a lot of people say things
20:06about like the girl boss Peach and how she's, he's just doing everything.
20:09She's accomplishing everything on her own.
20:12Uh, I think it makes a lot of sense, especially in this case, because these are all Super Mario
20:17Brothers 2 characters and bosses, which she canonically can beat up on her own.
20:22Yeah.
20:22And she has.
20:23Yeah.
20:23Like, they were pretty much the most prevalent side characters aside from Toads and really
20:28Wart and those guys didn't have that much going on anyway.
20:31They really were just like, hey, there's stuff happening.
20:34Right.
20:35And a lot of those side characters were like Birdo.
20:37Like, the scene from the trailer where Birdo was shooting the eggs at, at Princess Peach,
20:44that's like, all of, like, that's it for Birdo, I think, in the movie.
20:47Like, she's barely, like, I think that's really it.
20:50Yeah.
20:51She's barely, uh, you know.
20:51Not voiced either.
20:52What you saw in the trailer is what, yeah.
20:53What you saw in the trailer is what you see in the movie, but it's like, there's not
20:56much more outside of that.
20:58Yeah.
20:59Mouser and Klogrep aren't voiced either.
21:01Like, only Wart is voiced in that casino and, uh, Yukiki, the little monkey.
21:07Yeah, oh my god, that monkey.
21:08That made me laugh so hard, because he actually got me.
21:11He got me, that damn little monkey.
21:13Dude, like, in the gateway, when he was like, oh, I've lost, I can't find my friend.
21:18Please, I'm just a little monkey, right?
21:20And Toad's like, oh, little monkey.
21:22And steals my stuff.
21:24And I was like, are you kidding?
21:26Like, I had immediately, like, I heard a vine boom in my head.
21:29Like, I was like, I would have fallen for it too.
21:33Like, damn, dude.
21:33Well, yeah, I love how pissed Toad was about just getting his bag back.
21:37He was like, so like, give me my bag back, you son of a bitch.
21:40It was really funny.
21:42It's the only thing that identifies him between other two words.
21:44Yeah.
21:45And now, it is funny, though.
21:46Speaking of side characters, uh, it is interesting.
21:50Uh, I think the thing that confuses me about this movie maybe the most is the fact that
21:56it's called Galaxy.
21:57Because it really is a celebration of all of Mario.
22:01Yes, there is prominent galaxy parts in this movie, but there's a lot, there's a lot.
22:07Fox is in this movie more than Rosalina.
22:10More, yeah.
22:11That's the big elephant, the big fox in the room, is that, uh, Rosalina is sidelined harder
22:16than Luigi got sidelined last time.
22:19It's just so, it's so, it's so funny.
22:22It's just like, it's like if, uh, it's like if we have, like, Sonic Movie 4 in, uh, Cosmic
22:27Kiryu is in that movie over Metal Sonic.
22:30It's like, what?
22:32That would be, Sega, please do that.
22:34Please hire someone to play Kiryu.
22:36Dude, actually, I wanted to talk about Rosalina specifically because the trailers made her out
22:41to be such a massive part of this movie.
22:45And it's, I have so much to say about that, I know we were almost getting into it right
22:49before this, but, like, there's so much about Rosalina that makes sense as to why they did
22:56that.
22:57It's because of that scene where she destroys Megaleg or she, you know, tries to.
23:02Yeah.
23:02She is stupidly overpowered compared to everyone else in this movie.
23:07Yeah.
23:07Like, even Bowser, I would say.
23:09Anyway, and, uh, if she was just on the main cast running around with them trying to stop
23:14Bowser, they would have to nerf her another way.
23:17Yeah.
23:17Um, and I think that's why she was sort of held as a power source the whole time because
23:24if she wasn't, like, you saw she broke out of that pod once and it was almost over already.
23:29Like, she was, like, throwing hands immediately.
23:33Um.
23:33Yeah, she, like, destroyed it immediately.
23:35She was, she's, she's OP.
23:37I get it.
23:38Like, I get why they did it.
23:39It does stink because I think she could have had a lot more going on and I assume she'll
23:43have a bigger part in the next movie or whatever, but.
23:45I, I think it's one of those things where, um, this movie was doing so much, so many different
23:53things.
23:53So it was just, like, the power scaling of, like, a lot of the galaxy, you know, especially
23:58with Rosalina and, and when you think of, like, Bowser, Bowser, Bowser in, in Galaxy 2.
24:03Like, he was, like, if you remind me, if you remind me correctly, didn't he, like, destroy,
24:08like, a universe or something like that?
24:10Like, so it's just, like.
24:11Uh, in the first game, he, Bowser's reactor, he causes a black hole or, like, a supernova
24:17black hole to appear and then Rosalina has to basically reboot the whole universe.
24:21Yeah, so, like, it's just, like, you know, so it's, it's so interesting how Rosalina seems
24:28to be just as powerful as she is in, in, in the game.
24:31Like, she is just OP out of the gate, uh, but they just had to lock her up immediately
24:35so this movie could happen.
24:37Yeah, I guess it's also really realistic in the way they do it, too, because she is
24:41kicking ass immediately.
24:43Like, she's dominating Megaleg.
24:44There's no chance he's gonna win.
24:46And, uh, the thing that stops her, obviously, is Bowser Jr. aiming at the luminous
24:51which is ridiculous.
24:53But, like, what a little creep.
24:55So, that made perfect sense to me as a narrative thing as to why she got caught.
25:00She had to really, like, lose focus on the threat and trying to protect the children.
25:05Right.
25:06Um, but as a whole, Rosalina was so interesting to me because at the very start, when we start
25:10with the storybook and she's got a book about Peach, the movie hasn't happened yet, or I
25:16didn't think it happened.
25:17I was like, oh, maybe this is, like, a, like, an after the movie.
25:20I'm gonna tell you a story about how we saved the world.
25:23But it turns out to be, oh, I have this book about Princess Peach, but we don't tell you
25:29why.
25:30We don't, we don't tell you why.
25:31And then, I was like, are they setting up actual things that I'm, like, that I want to
25:37think about in this movie?
25:38And they, they did.
25:40They did.
25:41They set up a mystery and they actually had, like, little threads to it.
25:45I liked that.
25:46It does feel like there's moments in this movie where I could see where a rewrite has happened.
25:50Like, I feel like originally this was going to be a galaxy movie through and through without
25:54any other, like, it was going to be a galaxy movie.
25:58Starting with the story, going, like, playing out that way.
26:01Like, telling a story from Rosalina's perspective.
26:05Um, then something changed along the production because, yeah, it's, like, immediately, it
26:10changes from there.
26:11And that is something I do want to go into, uh, because I know it's fresh on our minds
26:15and that is something I'm dying to talk about.
26:18Um, confirming that Rosalina is Peach's sister.
26:23Um.
26:24Yeah.
26:24Yeah.
26:25I was shocked.
26:26I didn't think we would ever see something like that in a movie like that.
26:29So that was, that was a fan theory, correct?
26:30That was never confirmed in any capacity whatsoever, right?
26:35So, there's never been any confirmation, but all of her concept art is still very Peach-like.
26:42There is, obviously, she still looks Peach-like.
26:44Like, even as a kid, I was like, are they related somehow?
26:48But Nintendo doesn't do a lot of story.
26:50But in Rosalina's storybook, if we think about Galaxy back, back up, way back, which
26:56they had to hide, apparently, from Miyamoto, I heard.
26:59They had to hide that in the game.
27:00Yeah, I remember that story.
27:01Yep.
27:02Which is probably why we don't have any story in the movies, because Miyamoto's working
27:05on them.
27:06But, uh, so, the thing about the storybook is Rosalina leaves the Earth as a young girl,
27:13thanks to the Lumas.
27:14She gets stranded in space.
27:15And, by the time she gets back to Earth, after traveling throughout the cosmos with
27:20the Lumas, the Earth isn't the same anymore.
27:24It's like a new cycle, almost, like a new thing.
27:28And, the things that Rosalina says in this book, or the things that are recorded in this
27:32book about Rosalina's parents, are very, like, I think they were very specific traits
27:37that, like, they could have been alluded to Peach, or they could have been alluded to
27:40Mario or something.
27:41So, the theory, for a bit, was that she was the daughter of Mario and Peach, and a game
27:48theory said it was Luigi and Peach, because of, uh, certain things.
27:52But, like, I obviously think it was Mario and Peach.
27:54Maybe the intention was Mario and Peach, and she, you know, outlived that cycle of the
27:59universe, and now she doesn't belong anywhere, yada, yada, yada.
28:01But, so, having this be the connection between her and Peach, and actually having Miyamoto
28:08being the one to be working on it and stuff, is actually so cool, because it really does
28:13give a connection to all of this stuff from such a long time.
28:18And, it does explain why Rosalina, not that you feel silly saying this, it explains why
28:24Rosalina sticks around, you know, like, instead of doing her own thing.
28:28Right, and it is also, but it is interesting that this is something the movie touched upon
28:34out of everything.
28:34You know what I mean?
28:35Like, it's like, we, because we're talking about, and maybe I'm wrong on this, but from
28:40my knowledge, when it comes to Mario, is, there's not a lot of story in a lot of these
28:45games, but the one that had the most story is Galaxy.
28:47Galaxy, and the whole story with the whole diary, and all that stuff, is probably, that's
28:52like the equivalent of, like, our Gerald's Journal.
28:54You know what I mean?
28:55It's very, uh, lore-heavy types.
28:58Not necessarily lore-heavy, but, like, very interesting, uh, lore stuff regarding that,
29:01her character, and, like you mentioned before, the story of the game, where it had to be,
29:05like, snuck into the game.
29:07Couldn't tell Miyamoto, because he would have probably axed it, uh, because it's not a story
29:10guy, um, but the fact that, like, this movie glosses over a lot of stuff in the Mario universe,
29:19but it, it goes straight to the core, it goes straight to that, something that is very,
29:24like, I would probably say niche, a very niche, uh, tidbit, uh, but to get that confirmation,
29:32I guess, through a movie, cool, you know, interesting.
29:36It's, like, because in the games, obviously, she doesn't need an origin story, and neither
29:39that is Mario, and neither does Luigi or Bowser, like, we don't need to see where they started
29:44for most of these games, to make sense.
29:46Right.
29:47But, just, uh, thinking about that in retrospect, like, there's so many things I can point to
29:51and think of now, that I'm like, oh, well, no shit, Peach is a space god, or whatever,
29:58she can float just by holding, like, her arms in the air, and she can, like, like, she,
30:04she has magic powers in some games, just inexplicably, she could, this is stupid,
30:09but in the, you know, in Super Princess Peach, she was the only one that could actually control
30:15the main thing of that game, like, the emotion power-up, like, she was the only one out of
30:19everyone in that entire game that could actually control her, her powers.
30:24Right.
30:25It's so fun to just get something weird like that, because the Sonic movies are different,
30:30right?
30:30Like, they're not the same continuity.
30:32Like, nothing they confirm in their, like, it could be fun little headcanon stuff, like,
30:36you know, Maria teaching Shadow to skate, I was like, that's, you know, the cutest thing
30:40I've ever seen.
30:41That's, that's actually a great reason as to why he would skate and use airshoes.
30:45Right.
30:45But, you know, ultimately, that's like a, oh, that's a cool idea, like, it's a fun little
30:49thing.
30:50Yeah.
30:50We're not saying, like, this is explicitly canon now, 100% in concrete, but the fact that
30:56Nintendo and Miyamoto are working on this side-by-side with them, like, that's a thing that they
31:02had to approve.
31:03Very interesting tidbit, that, I think that is kind of, like, the core surprise of this
31:07movie.
31:07Like, that was, like, kind of the thing.
31:09And, it was really nice.
31:11It was cool to see.
31:12Uh, again, very, very brief with, uh, I guess, you know, Rosalina, just like, she's kind of
31:17in the beginning, she's there in the end.
31:20Um, and it was, it was, it was cool.
31:22The ending of this movie is fantastic.
31:24Uh, it's, it hits on a lot of cylinders.
31:27Great comedy.
31:28The, the big Bowser, Bowser and, uh, Bowser Jr.
31:33Bowser has bones.
31:34Uh.
31:35You know, I really wasn't expecting them to burn Bowser's skin off in this movie.
31:40Yeah.
31:40That was, that was not expected of that.
31:42When he fell in the lava, dude, and, and Bowser Jr. was looking over the edge, and, like,
31:46that was actually, I felt a little bad about that.
31:49Yeah, because the whole, the subplot with Bowser actually, like, coming to like Luigi and Mario
31:57a bit before Jr. picks him up again, I think was cut off way too fast because it made it
32:04a little bit, it's weird.
32:07They, they cut that off too fast and made them split up.
32:09Yeah.
32:10And then, they didn't really rush Bowser, I guess they didn't rush him as fast back to
32:16evil as I thought they would, but, like, it's interesting to me that they were trying
32:20to do that.
32:22Yeah.
32:22I wish we got more, because they were a really fun little quartet there for a bit, like,
32:26if they had done some obstacles together.
32:28It was, that was, like, that was an interesting part of the movie because I, I thought it was
32:33going to be very, like, cut and dry, like, oh, he's just gonna, he's gonna act
32:37right now, but then, he's gonna go bad, like, very soon.
32:40But no, it goes on, yeah, it was genuine, I was like, wow, they're really humanizing
32:45him.
32:46I liked it a lot, I thought he was gonna stop Jr., like, I thought he was gonna be
32:49like, no, we can't, like, don't do this by the end of it, but.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Yeah, and I really, and I really liked, you know, it being his son to kind of bring him
32:58back into that world.
33:01But no, on the topic of Bowser getting melted alive, the moment I saw the axe, I was
33:07like, oh, it's gonna play out like, oh, it's gonna fall in the lava.
33:10Like, I knew it was gonna happen, but.
33:13That was so cool, though.
33:14It was just like, man, I'm just like, I just can't, I just can't believe, like, how many
33:20references are in this movie.
33:23I need a reference counter.
33:25Like, I.
33:26That would have been me if I was doing next year.
33:28Game & Watch was in the movie.
33:30That was so good.
33:32I'm so glad they didn't ruin that in the surprise.
33:35Like, that would have been so mad if they showed him in, like, a trailer somewhere.
33:38Oh my god.
33:38Because that's so funny.
33:39Dude, I literally said, there were, there were, like, two other people in my theater,
33:43and when Game & Watch, it was, there was two times.
33:45When the Pikmin came out of the tiny Olimar rocket, I literally went, oh!
33:50Like, I made a noise, and I was like, sorry.
33:52And then, when the fucking Game & Watch was there, and he was beating up Bowser, or whatever,
33:57or he was beating up the dragon, I was like, the hammer!
34:00Like, I literally said, get him with the hammer!
34:02And he, oh, yeah.
34:04Oh, it was so good.
34:06That was so funny.
34:07But, like, also, him spawning from Luigi just not knowing how to draw.
34:11It's just so good.
34:12Doodle Bob rolls.
34:13Yeah.
34:14And, oh my god, Luigi was so funny, too.
34:16Like, even when they came back, and the castle was gone, he's like, the castle died!
34:20Like, he said that, and it was, what does that even mean?
34:23Oh my gosh, it died!
34:25Yeah, it's, it's died, it died.
34:27And they rebuild it.
34:28Dude, they rebuild it in the little Mario world.
34:30Yes!
34:31Yeah, it, it, I need to geek out about this specifically.
34:34They used, wait a minute, was it actually, they, I can't remember,
34:38because I, I might have been freaking out a little too much,
34:40but they used the sprites for Luigi from the Super Mario All-Stars version of the game,
34:45which is not the one from Mario Maker, they're different.
34:48So they went and used those specifically, which is really strange,
34:51and they made custom Rosalina SNES sprites.
34:54Oh.
34:55Wow.
34:55It was very cool.
34:57Now, uh, because, because I know that, you know,
35:00we're about to, uh, come up on 40 minutes here.
35:03Yeah.
35:03So, uh, I'm gonna keep it kind of, because I, because I know,
35:05this is gonna be a YAP session, so, you know, it's what it is.
35:08Maybe we can stream at some point, and we can talk more about this.
35:11No, for sure, but I, I will say, because in the end,
35:14I will say, this movie was great as a fan.
35:16If you're a fan, you're gonna love it, obviously.
35:18If you're just a gaming fan, you're gonna love it.
35:20If you are not very knowledgeable in Mario,
35:23and you, you, you are curious,
35:27I will say, err on the side of caution,
35:28just because you're not really getting a full-on story here.
35:31You're not getting an arc.
35:34Maybe some, but you're, you're,
35:37this movie is, honestly, for people to point at the screen and say,
35:41I know what that is.
35:42I clapped, I clapped.
35:42I've seen that.
35:43It really is.
35:43I like that.
35:44It really is that, and it's unapologetically that.
35:47And that's what I was doing the whole time.
35:50Yeah, I was too.
35:51Fine enough, and again.
35:52Whoa, gear mode, look at that.
35:54Wow.
35:54I will say, you know, this movie didn't, you know,
35:57tease, like, a, a, a, a, a, a smash movie
36:00the way I thought it would, as, as supposed it would,
36:02but I do want a Star Fox movie now,
36:04because he was a highlight.
36:06I liked Fox McCloud.
36:08He was great.
36:08That was great.
36:10And, uh, the voice was fantastic.
36:12It was literally perfect.
36:12His quirks were perfect.
36:14I, the fact that they did the,
36:17the Lumas showed up,
36:19and they, they were, like, his backup Star Fox team.
36:21Yeah.
36:21Like, the whole thing.
36:23Fox was, he really gave the energy of, like,
36:27oh, gosh, there, there's a really specific character
36:30of just, like, when, you know,
36:32when everyone's, like, focused on the cool stuff,
36:34he looks like an awesome, cool guy,
36:35but then it's every other moment of his life,
36:37he just kind of seems like a weird little weirdo.
36:40Dude, like, you know.
36:41Him, him, like, crying over his shit.
36:46Look, because it's his father's ship.
36:48It's his father's artwork.
36:50Yeah, it, like, I get it.
36:52His father's dead.
36:53I need more of him.
36:54I need more of him.
36:56And I hope this wasn't, again,
36:58I hope this wasn't them shooting their load too fast
36:59and thinking, like, they're not going to get a chance,
37:01so let's just put everything in here.
37:03It's like, no.
37:03It's got to be a Smash movie.
37:05People, people will.
37:06It's a Smash Brothers pilot.
37:08It's, it's a backdoor Smash Bruise pilot.
37:10That's what it is.
37:11I'm hoping.
37:12Because you mentioned other universes.
37:14Like, my thing was, like,
37:15if I saw Kirby in this ending credits,
37:16I was going to scream.
37:18Yeah, I was expecting it,
37:19but it never happened.
37:20I was, but, man, um,
37:22but I will say,
37:23on the topic of the after credits,
37:26Daisy.
37:29I, I didn't actually see that one.
37:33Really?
37:34No, because I, uh,
37:37listen, so,
37:37every time I go to the movie theater
37:39and it's a movie I really want to see,
37:42I, unfortunately,
37:44have to pee really bad.
37:46I was, I was holding my bladder at that point.
37:49So, yeah, like,
37:50about halfway through the movie,
37:51I was like,
37:52I need to Google how many scenes are in this,
37:54and I didn't check,
37:55you know, I didn't see what they were,
37:56but I saw there was one at the middle
37:58and then at the after,
37:59like, final,
38:00and I was like, okay,
38:01and I got to the point,
38:02and I was like,
38:03middle credits, that sucked.
38:04Alright.
38:05Then I looked it up,
38:06and I was like,
38:06what is the last one?
38:07And I checked,
38:08it was like,
38:09Daisy's hand.
38:10Alright, I'm leaving,
38:11I'm going to pee now,
38:13see you guys.
38:14Like, I was like,
38:14listen,
38:15I don't,
38:16I don't mean to be like,
38:18I like Princess Daisy.
38:19She's great,
38:20she's very fun,
38:20she's definitely like,
38:21the most personality-based
38:23of the three of them,
38:24so far,
38:24but like,
38:26the fact that we had all this shit
38:27in this movie,
38:28and their idea of teasing the next one
38:30is showing Daisy,
38:31like, once,
38:32it's like,
38:33dude,
38:33what is Daisy going to do
38:34that we didn't do this time?
38:36Like,
38:36I don't know,
38:37like,
38:38I don't mean to be mean,
38:39but, you know.
38:40these after credits
38:41did not excite me
38:43the way I feel like
38:44after credits should.
38:45Like,
38:45I'm curious,
38:46I'm interested,
38:47obviously,
38:48but...
38:48I'll watch the next one.
38:49I'm going to see whatever they do next.
38:50I'm going to watch it,
38:51but I'm just like,
38:52but I wasn't like,
38:54holy shit,
38:56what's going to happen next?
38:58I never,
38:58because first off,
38:59the first after credit,
39:01they showed that already,
39:03as a teaser
39:04to this movie,
39:06with the,
39:06with the Luma,
39:08call it,
39:09like,
39:09like,
39:10don't do that,
39:11please.
39:12Don't tease.
39:13I forgot that that was in there.
39:15Like,
39:15don't use an after credit
39:17as a trailer,
39:18okay?
39:19Like,
39:19I,
39:20you know,
39:21it was funny,
39:22it was funny though.
39:23It was funny,
39:23it made me laugh,
39:24but I'm just like,
39:25okay,
39:25that was the funny one,
39:26now what's the next one
39:27that's teasing the next movie?
39:28Daisy,
39:28to me,
39:30I,
39:31I don't have that much
39:32knowledge about Daisy.
39:34And I'm,
39:35I,
39:35I turned to Kenny's brother
39:36and I was just like,
39:38what,
39:38what is so special
39:39about Daisy?
39:41Like,
39:41what,
39:42what,
39:42what are they going to do?
39:43And he didn't know either,
39:45and he's a huge Mario guy.
39:46I'm like,
39:47okay,
39:47so Dylan,
39:49I'm going to ask you,
39:50huge Mario man.
39:52Yeah,
39:53so,
39:54what's there,
39:55like,
39:55is there a reason for me
39:56being excited specifically
39:57about Daisy?
39:58Is there like a lore thing there?
40:00No,
40:01not really.
40:02Like,
40:02what,
40:02what the thing is with Daisy
40:04is she was,
40:05she was introduced
40:06to Mario Land 1
40:07on the Game Boy
40:08and,
40:08you know,
40:09her sprite was like,
40:10that is a girl,
40:11I think.
40:12You know,
40:12like,
40:12that's a woman.
40:13She was essentially like,
40:14the peach of that game,
40:15right?
40:15She was,
40:15she was just a princess.
40:16She was just like the person you saved.
40:18There was no anything,
40:19just a different name,
40:20Daisy.
40:21Later on,
40:22they bring her back
40:22for mostly spin-off,
40:24it was only spin-off things,
40:26Mario Party,
40:27Mario Tennis,
40:28Mario Sports,
40:29like,
40:29all those things,
40:29and she's like,
40:30they characterize her as,
40:33I mean,
40:33for a bit she's kind of just like Peach for a bit,
40:37but then like eventually they characterize her as more bubbly,
40:40she's louder,
40:41she's very into the sports stuff,
40:43like her animations are really,
40:44type of thing,
40:45yeah.
40:46And she has like a,
40:47sort of a,
40:48I think there's some clips of her just being very frustrated and angry and stuff,
40:52so it's like she,
40:53she has a very different personality from Peach.
40:55She's very much the Luigi to Peach's Mario,
40:58where Peach is the,
40:59or she used to be the,
41:01oh,
41:01I'm just the princess,
41:02and you save the princess,
41:04and it's,
41:04you know,
41:04like I'm baking a cake,
41:06but you know,
41:07Luigi was,
41:09to Mario,
41:09where Luigi was like,
41:10I have a personality a bit more,
41:12I have,
41:13you know,
41:14more this and that,
41:15or whatever,
41:16Daisy's kind of like that in my mind.
41:18The reason,
41:18the thing about like her being like a,
41:20she's obviously a fan favorite character,
41:22she got into Smash Brothers,
41:24she's been a requested character for plenty of things,
41:26they put her in Mario Wonder,
41:28because she's a big character.
41:29Yeah,
41:29I think it's great that she's there,
41:31but like being the main person?
41:33She doesn't have anything,
41:34like there's not any major appearance for her,
41:37so anything they're going to do with her,
41:39is probably going to be completely new,
41:42which is interesting.
41:44It's like,
41:44it worries,
41:45yeah,
41:46it'll be interesting,
41:47and it makes me wonder,
41:48you know,
41:49will she be like a main character in the next movie,
41:52or will she just be like,
41:53will she just be like Rosalina?
41:55Will she just be there for like two minutes?
41:57Like,
41:57I don't know.
41:59I want a Sunshine movie.
42:03I want a Sunshine movie.
42:04They could do that easily now,
42:06because they could have the,
42:07they could be like,
42:08they don't want to go to Isle Delfino on the planet,
42:11the Mushroom Kingdom's on,
42:12if that's not a thing.
42:13We've seen Piantas,
42:15we've seen Ocean Planet,
42:17so we can go to that.
42:18Actually,
42:19I think,
42:21I actually do have a good idea,
42:22what the next movie is going to be,
42:23if they were smart,
42:25in their approach here.
42:26Yeah,
42:26If you caught in the movie,
42:28Bowser,
42:29was talking about,
42:31being heartbroken,
42:32from his wedding.
42:34Yeah.
42:35And I was like,
42:36hmm,
42:36Odyssey maybe,
42:37like maybe,
42:38and I thought maybe,
42:40oh,
42:40the end credit,
42:41when he was talking about this stuff,
42:42I was like,
42:42oh,
42:43maybe I'm going to see Cappy at the end,
42:44Cappy at the end of this movie.
42:46It doesn't happen.
42:48That'd be interesting.
42:49I thought,
42:49I thought we were going to get,
42:50like an Odyssey tease,
42:51I thought like,
42:52we were going to go straight into Odyssey,
42:53like Bowser trying to reignite,
42:56the whole marriage thing,
42:58and like,
42:58Flame or something.
42:59Yeah,
42:59that flame that doesn't exist.
43:01That flame that doesn't exist.
43:02Oh,
43:03I,
43:03but,
43:04dude,
43:05okay,
43:05so that's what you thought was going to happen.
43:07How about,
43:08since we are getting to,
43:10I mean,
43:10I can talk as long as you want,
43:11but like,
43:11since we are getting up there in time,
43:13what do you,
43:16what do you,
43:18where do you think it's going to go from here?
43:21Where do you,
43:21where would you want it to go?
43:23Realistic or unrealistic?
43:24I'm just curious.
43:25Where do you think it would go from here?
43:27I truly am lost at sea right now.
43:30I have not the slightest idea we're going here.
43:33Like,
43:34I could say,
43:34like,
43:35vaguely,
43:36like,
43:37potentially we're going,
43:38we're leading toward a Smash movie with Fox being in here,
43:41and the whole multi-universe.
43:43By the way,
43:44I want to say real quick,
43:44that animation,
43:45that 2D animation,
43:46that was so good.
43:47Oh my gosh.
43:48Oh my God,
43:49it was insane.
43:49I couldn't believe I was looking at the same,
43:51not that the main movie was bad.
43:52I want that to be a whole movie.
43:53I would watch a whole thing of that.
43:55Give me two hours of that.
43:56It was amazing.
43:57Oh my gosh.
43:58Yeah.
43:58But no,
43:59like,
43:59like,
44:00vaguely,
44:01potentially,
44:01uh,
44:02you just remind me to Slippy Toad
44:04on the movie screen in 2026.
44:07Where the fuck is this?
44:08Where are we?
44:09Yeah,
44:09I don't know,
44:10because there's so many power-ups.
44:11It feels like,
44:13that's why I don't know where we're going,
44:14because this movie referenced everything.
44:18Every movie,
44:19every video game you've ever played with Mario
44:21is referenced in here.
44:22I'm sure there's a tennis racket in here somewhere,
44:24if you think,
44:24if you look hard enough.
44:25There is.
44:26You know,
44:27there was,
44:28I don't know,
44:30because that's what was my worry.
44:31I was like,
44:31I feel like this movie might be doing too much.
44:34I feel like they're worried
44:36they're not going to get greenlit for a third movie.
44:38When,
44:39clearly it's going to be successful.
44:40You got time to,
44:41to do,
44:42to do a,
44:43a Yoshi's Island side series if you want to,
44:46or to do,
44:47like,
44:47some more Odyssey stuff.
44:48Yoshi's Island Netflix.
44:49You know?
44:50The,
44:50the,
44:50the whole intro,
44:51by the way,
44:52where we're at the Odyssey location in the desert,
44:54and they introduce Yoshi.
44:55This movie immediately is like,
44:58we aren't questioning anything.
45:00Yoshi's part of the crew now.
45:02Toad is like,
45:03oh,
45:03there's a green dinosaur,
45:05and now he's just part of the crew?
45:06Okay.
45:07You know,
45:08this is the most real one.
45:10I like,
45:10I like that Yoshi,
45:11from his very brief time in Brooklyn,
45:14learned enough social,
45:15and just awareness,
45:17etiquette of everything around him,
45:18that he is basically just fully able to understand,
45:22every situation he's placed in with no,
45:24like,
45:24questions asked,
45:25which is really funny.
45:26No question.
45:27Because like,
45:28Stimuli was just bored,
45:29right?
45:29Like,
45:29he's only like,
45:30a couple days old.
45:31They wanted to just immediately,
45:36get on the,
45:37by the way,
45:37yeah,
45:37that whole,
45:38like,
45:38flashback with Yoshi,
45:39and him getting chased by the cops.
45:41Crazy.
45:42It was hilarious.
45:43But you can tell,
45:45they are rushing.
45:47They want all of the cast readily available,
45:50as fast as possible.
45:52But like,
45:53part of me is like,
45:54for what?
45:55Like,
45:56do you have a story in mind that you want to tell,
45:58that you just can't do without all these characters?
46:01I guess not.
46:02Does that exist in the Mario universe?
46:04I don't think it does.
46:05So it's like,
46:05I feel like,
46:06that's why part of me is like,
46:07worried is like,
46:08I hope this movie is not rushing.
46:10I hope,
46:11you know,
46:11it,
46:12it knows what it wants to do in the future.
46:14It's not just doing everything all at once.
46:16Now.
46:16That is definitely where Sonic and Mario change.
46:21Like,
46:21there's a difference in these movies.
46:23If you like,
46:24if you like the,
46:25the,
46:25the universe being built up slowly,
46:28and we're talking like two to three characters introduced max,
46:32you're going to like Sonic.
46:33If you like balls to the wall,
46:35no breaks.
46:37Like go,
46:38go,
46:38go show me what I want to see.
46:40Show me the love.
46:41Show me this world on the screen.
46:43Mario.
46:44Mario movie is like.
46:46Interesting.
46:47Cause it's so usually the opposite.
46:51It's opposite.
46:52Sonic is usually the one rushing,
46:53but now it's like,
46:54Mario is like,
46:56so it's like,
46:57yeah,
46:57it's like,
46:58it's so much so that the after credit character was Daisy.
47:02I am.
47:03I'm just praying for where I want to see this go,
47:06where I think it's going.
47:07Like we said a couple of times now,
47:10I don't know why they put Fox McCloud and talk about other universes in this movie.
47:13If they're not making the smash brothers thing,
47:15or they're not trying to,
47:16I don't know if there's going to be,
47:17I don't know.
47:18Like I could see them doing a DK movie first,
47:21maybe a Star Fox movie.
47:23If we're lucky,
47:24I guess,
47:25but like,
47:26yeah,
47:27where I would like them to go.
47:29And it would be so much simpler than shoving every single Mario game into everything.
47:33Just take one of the RPGs.
47:35I'm begging you.
47:36Just take any of the Mario Luigi games.
47:38Just have a Mario Luigi Superstar Saga movie.
47:40And I'll,
47:41I'll go see it.
47:42Yeah.
47:42I'll watch it every day for the rest of time.
47:44A whole Paper Mario movie.
47:46Like,
47:46that was,
47:47yeah.
47:47That's what I'm saying though,
47:48is like,
47:49you have time to do side series.
47:51You do have time to do multiple movies.
47:55I was thinking maybe Toad.
47:56Remember when Toad was like,
47:57my novel's in there.
47:58I was wondering if that novel was going to turn out to be the Paper Mario book.
48:03As like a reference.
48:04But I could not tell,
48:06because they threw the book on screen so fast.
48:08Yeah.
48:09And it was just,
48:10yeah.
48:11So,
48:11I mean,
48:12I guess just in the end,
48:13movie was great overall.
48:15I,
48:15I enjoyed my time.
48:16If,
48:17again,
48:17Mario,
48:18you know,
48:18if you,
48:18I mean,
48:19I would,
48:19if you're watching this video this far,
48:21thus far,
48:22you,
48:22you would have already seen the movie.
48:24Or you just like us a lot.
48:26Or,
48:26yeah,
48:26that too.
48:27But I enjoyed it.
48:29Dill,
48:29it sounds like you enjoyed it overall.
48:32I enjoyed it.
48:32I think,
48:33take a Mario fan to see it.
48:35Go,
48:35bring a Mario fan in your life to go see it.
48:37And I think you'll have a lot more fun than if you aren't a Mario fan and you go see
48:40it on your own.
48:41Yeah.
48:42Bring a Mario fan.
48:42I will say though,
48:43at the same time,
48:44I think the critiques for this movie are valid.
48:46I think there are things they could learn for next time.
48:49I think just because it's Mario,
48:50just because it's Nintendo,
48:51doesn't mean it doesn't have to have a very surface level story.
48:54I think they could slow down a little bit.
48:56They could take their time in these locations.
48:58If they,
48:58if they stayed in some of these locations a little bit longer,
49:03built up some of these characters to introduce them more,
49:05and had more of an adventure with us,
49:07that in that location,
49:09people would still have a great time.
49:11So I'm wondering where they're going to go from here.
49:13I literally have no idea.
49:14I thought I did before I saw this movie.
49:16And I walked out having more questions.
49:18I guess I have like one,
49:22one tiny last thing about this movie compared to the first one.
49:26I've seen a couple of people say like,
49:28the first one's definitely more rewatchable.
49:31I think that's probably true just because of how that movie's laid out.
49:35It's definitely laid out better than this one.
49:38It's a bit of a,
49:39like a,
49:39like a roller coaster.
49:40Like we've been saying,
49:41it's very go,
49:42go,
49:42go,
49:42go,
49:43go.
49:43But the thing is,
49:44I do want to mention,
49:46they did keep a little bit of the elements from the first movie about family.
49:52And they did tie it into a couple places.
49:55Like I could see them trying to do a few things here and there.
49:57Like in the first movie,
49:59it's obviously about Mario trying to find himself and find something to make his family proud or like make himself
50:05proud mainly first.
50:07And that's obviously big family values,
50:09big family thing.
50:10In the second movie,
50:12we have family.
50:12Mario and Luigi,
50:14it's really played down.
50:15They don't really have as many family moments for Mario and Luigi,
50:18but they do kind of adopt Yoshi.
50:20I guess.
50:21Yeah,
50:21they do.
50:22We do have Bowser and Bowser Jr.,
50:24which is a really weird thing because he kind of just abandoned his son,
50:27but then he tries to repair the relationship,
50:29which Bowser Jr. is not even upset about at all.
50:32So like they had something going there.
50:34I thought maybe they would have more back and forth about it,
50:37but you know,
50:38it was still family.
50:38And I do think there is some sweetness to Bowser Jr.,
50:44like we said earlier,
50:45being the one to bring his dad back to the side of pure evil,
50:48even though it's opposite character.
50:50It's a character regression.
50:51Technically,
50:51I think it's sweet because it was Bowser Jr.
50:55and his father.
50:55And not to mention,
50:57Kamek is Bowser's father,
50:59technically.
51:00He raised Bowser.
51:02So,
51:03Kamek hanging out with Bowser Jr.
51:05and Bowser,
51:06which they didn't get much screen time together in this one,
51:08Yeah.
51:08is another family thing.
51:09and then of course we have Peach and Rosalina being siblings.
51:12So,
51:13we have this big thing where they're like,
51:15there's elements of it there.
51:17Like,
51:18they want to tell a story about family,
51:19I think,
51:20and they just don't have a story.
51:22They're not going all the way.
51:23Yeah.
51:23It feels like they're hesitant.
51:25Just go farther.
51:26Or,
51:26like,
51:27either,
51:27either it's,
51:28Illumination wants to,
51:29Nintendo's either telling them no,
51:30or it's,
51:31there is none.
51:33Or,
51:33I will say this,
51:35or they probably think we wouldn't care about these characters'
51:38actual stories.
51:39Well,
51:39I'll say this right now.
51:40We do.
51:42We would love to see that.
51:43Seeing these,
51:44seeing some of these characters that are usually surface level,
51:46more humanized,
51:48and put more depth into,
51:50in this,
51:51it's what makes the movie special.
51:52For what little they have.
51:54It's great.
51:54For what little they have.
51:55For what little they have.
51:55And,
51:56unlike,
51:57I would say,
51:58like,
51:58Sonic movies that have,
51:59like,
52:00a set lore for each character,
52:01where,
52:02if the movies don't really follow a certain script,
52:04people would hate it,
52:05Mario movies are the opposite,
52:06where these characters are surface level,
52:09a lot of them are kind of like a blank canvas.
52:11You kind of have a bit of creative freedom to,
52:13like,
52:14make something out of nothing.
52:17Make something unique.
52:19or something that people would like more.
52:21I think,
52:22confirming that Rosalina is,
52:25is Princess Peach's sister,
52:28was a great example of that.
52:29And,
52:30I would love to see more stuff like that in the future.
52:32In whatever the hell,
52:34conglomerate movie they're making next time.
52:36I will definitely see it.
52:38Honestly,
52:38like,
52:38they actually,
52:39like,
52:40we were just,
52:41I was just talking about it,
52:41but they,
52:42they even gave Mario and Luigi a full family.
52:44in the previous movie.
52:46not even to ignore that.
52:47They have a full family,
52:48and they all have names.
52:49Full on,
52:50yeah.
52:51That's cool.
52:51I love that.
52:53Yeah.
52:53So,
52:53yeah,
52:53they should,
52:54it's okay to leave more into that.
