00:00:00Real quick, you have not been spoiled by the thumbnail, I made it yesterday before I saw
00:00:04the movie.
00:00:05That being said, this is your final warning.
00:00:07Spoilers for the Super Mario Galaxy movie ahead.
00:00:10The Super Mario Galaxy movie has officially released, and...
00:00:13What?
00:00:14How is this video so early?
00:00:15Well, you see...
00:00:18Yes, I went to the midnight release of the movie, and gosh, it was such a really weird
00:00:22experience.
00:00:23I originally wanted to film much more than I did, but it was really hard because there
00:00:26were a bunch of people, and it's harder to do than you think, okay?
00:00:29So instead, here's a picture of a $10 water bottle, and me standing there.
00:00:33And what did I have to say when the movie was finished?
00:00:35Yep, he certainly saved the galaxy, and I was spot on with that prediction.
00:00:41There is a lot to talk about, though.
00:00:43What actually happened in the movie?
00:00:44Is it building towards something much bigger?
00:00:46How is Star Fox in the movie?
00:00:48And what's with the negative reviews?
00:00:50Are they justified?
00:00:51My name is SpookyDude, make sure to like and subscribe, now let's discuss.
00:00:56To start off, we need to go over what actually happened in the movie.
00:00:58Don't worry, this isn't going to take too long.
00:01:01Really quick before we get into it, too, uh, unlike the previous All Lore Explained videos
00:01:05that I've done, I don't actually have footage of the movie.
00:01:07That would get this video taken down by Nintendo.
00:01:10So you'll have to deal with whatever was released in trailers, terrible MS Paint drawings,
00:01:14and random PNGs moving around.
00:01:16Sorry about that.
00:01:17We begin zooming through the cosmos, landing on the Comet Observatory.
00:01:21Rosalina is here, and calls the Lumas to come read a story before bedtime.
00:01:24The Lumas, like the one in the first film, are all basically children.
00:01:28They act like kids, and they talk like kids, and Rosalina frequently refers to them as
00:01:32her kids.
00:01:33I want to pause and interject real quick.
00:01:35There's a very obviously placed moment where the door in the Comet Observatory opens, and
00:01:39Rosalina is standing there.
00:01:41Proudly.
00:01:41There's enough of a pause for applause or cheers, but my theater was dead silent.
00:01:47Like, not just for Rosalina, the entire movie.
00:01:50They never cheered at all.
00:01:51They like lightly chuckled at a joke or two, but that was it.
00:01:54Nearly packed theater.
00:01:56It's midnight.
00:01:57These people went to the midnight release, and nobody said anything.
00:01:59You know, at first I was kind of concerned that it would be annoying to hear all these
00:02:02people screaming, but I would have preferred that over nothing.
00:02:05It felt depressing.
00:02:07Anyway, anyway, Rosalina goes to her bookshelf to choose a book for the Lumas, and I will
00:02:12mention that in this scene, if you look at the books she can pick from, one of the books
00:02:16has Tippy from Super Paper Mario on the spine.
00:02:19However, because Rosalina has no taste, apparently, she picks the one about Princess Peach, but
00:02:24the Lumas don't want to hear about Peach.
00:02:25They want to hear about Mario and Luigi, and the story of the events of the first film.
00:02:29They're excited for Rosalina to tell the story, but before she can, a huge slam shakes
00:02:33the room.
00:02:34Rosalina leaves the Lumas, telling them to go to bed, only to be faced with Megaleg from
00:02:39Mario Galaxy.
00:02:40Rosalina summons her powerful wand to actually fight Megaleg, and she's pretty much winning
00:02:44most of the fight.
00:02:45She blasts it with lasers, is able to dodge all of its attacks extremely fast, and actually
00:02:50knocks it over.
00:02:51It's only when one of the Lumas shows up to see what's going on that the pilot of Megalegs
00:02:55figures out Rosalina's weak point, and fires bullet bills at the room the Lumas are in.
00:03:00Rosalina obviously protects them, but in doing so she is captured.
00:03:04Inside the robot, as expected, is Bowser Jr., who's trying to bring back respect to the
00:03:08Bowser name.
00:03:09Alongside him is Kamek, who is yet again a disliked henchman who keeps getting in Bowser
00:03:14Jr.'s way.
00:03:15Aluma tries stopping Bowser Jr., but he ends up getting captured as well.
00:03:18They're all taken inside a massive UFO ship that Bowser Jr. controls.
00:03:23Title card, and then cut to Mario and Luigi in the desert on bikes.
00:03:27If you've seen the trailer, you know what happens here.
00:03:29Mario and Luigi are in the Toasterina kingdom, and the residents are asking for help with
00:03:33a scary sound coming from the pyramid.
00:03:35Mario and Luigi go inside to explore, they eventually find a pipe, and inside the pipe
00:03:40is Yoshi.
00:03:41A cute, silly rendition of Yoshi, who's like, I don't know, I don't want to say he's
00:03:46super different than the games, but there's also this aspect to him that's kind of a
00:03:49bit odd in my opinion.
00:03:51He functions exactly like any other character would, and seems to have the same level of
00:03:55cognitive awareness, he just can't speak except for saying the word Yoshi.
00:04:00Either way, there's a pretty funny sequence showing how Yoshi got into the warp pipe in the
00:04:04first place.
00:04:04We see him hatching in the sewers from the post-credits scene of the first movie, while
00:04:09he then walks around Brooklyn.
00:04:11He eventually knocks over a T-Rex skeleton at the museum, and is chased into the sewers
00:04:15and through the warp pipe by the police.
00:04:17It is in this sequence, by the way, that we actually see a whole bunch of characters from
00:04:20the first movie.
00:04:21Spike, the dog from the first one, and Donkey Kong, and this is the only time these characters
00:04:25appear in this film.
00:04:27Anyway, we cut back to Rosalina, stuck in Bowser Jr.'s massive UFO.
00:04:30Rosalina asks where Bowser Jr. is taking her, and he shows her a massive, scary,
00:04:34Bowser-y planet, designed entirely like Bowser itself.
00:04:38It has lava, and the planet has like a big scary Bowser mouth.
00:04:41And there's spikes, and roller coaster rides, and Bowser and Bowser Jr.'s faces carved into
00:04:45a mountain, and lava everywhere.
00:04:47All of Bowser's henchmen from the first movie are now here.
00:04:51Jr. gives a speech to his henchmen about how with Rosalina's powers, they will destroy
00:04:54the universe.
00:04:55However, after tugging too hard on the chains used to hold the luma, Rosalina gets upset
00:05:00with Bowser Jr. shouting, no one hurts my kids.
00:05:02She breaks out of her chains and starts to fight with Jr.'s minions.
00:05:05The luma goes free and escapes.
00:05:08Bowser Jr., however, uses the paintbrush from Sunshine to create a goopy piranha plant that
00:05:12helps recapture Rosalina, locking her up in a chair where Jr. can start to sap her powers.
00:05:17Now back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi gear up for Princess Peach's birthday
00:05:21party.
00:05:22Mario has a present for Peach, and asks if Luigi thinks she'll like it.
00:05:26The movie has a repeating joke that starts here, where Mario is in love with Peach.
00:05:30It's not really a joke, but Luigi teases him about it, and Mario shyly brushes him off,
00:05:35and this kinda happens multiple times throughout the film.
00:05:38The three heroes go to Peach's party, and Mario finds her sitting alone on the roof.
00:05:42Peach admits she doesn't like birthdays.
00:05:45This isn't even her real birthday.
00:05:46This is just the day they celebrate, because it's when the Toads found her for the first
00:05:49time.
00:05:50Peach says she never knew her family.
00:05:52She spent her entire life wondering where they are.
00:05:55Mario offers her support and gives her the birthday present.
00:05:58It turns out to be Peach's famous umbrella, the one she uses in many of the games.
00:06:03Suddenly, star bits start falling from the sky.
00:06:05Everyone looks up in awe, only to see a massive shooting star crash nearby.
00:06:09Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Yoshi investigate, and it turns out to be the Luma that had been
00:06:13captured with Rosalina.
00:06:15Peach takes the Luma up to her room, and the Luma explains that Rosalina has always told
00:06:19stories about Peach, and said that if she was ever in danger, that they need to find her.
00:06:23Luma tells Peach that a giant robot took Rosalina to a scary planet out beyond the Gateway Galaxy.
00:06:29Peach, while encouraged by the worried Toads to stay, decides to go alongside the main Toad,
00:06:35leaving a note from Mario and Luigi saying that they're responsible for protecting the
00:06:38Mushroom Kingdom until she gets back.
00:06:40Montage of Mario and Luigi fighting enemies from the games and using power-ups.
00:06:44This ends with the scene from the first trailer.
00:06:46Bowser is tiny and claims to be rehabilitated, so he wants to be freed and turned big again.
00:06:51However, Mario sends him into frequent rages that cause him to reveal his true villainous
00:06:55side underneath.
00:06:56Suddenly, the ground in the castle begins to shake.
00:06:58Bowser Jr. has arrived with his UFO and has begun sucking up Peach's castle, as he knows
00:07:03Bowser is inside.
00:07:05Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi evacuate the Toads and face Bowser Jr.
00:07:08He asks for Bowser to be handed over, but Mario refuses and they have a really cool, visually
00:07:13impressive fight in which Jr. uses the paintbrush to turn him into cool, purply-powered-up forms.
00:07:18Just when it looks like Mario's got the upper hand, Mega Legs descends on them with Kamek
00:07:22piloting, trying to assist Jr.
00:07:24Yoshi, however, eats Kamek and turns him into an egg, jumping into the pilot's seat and
00:07:28taking over.
00:07:29Chaos ensues and ultimately Bowser Jr., Kamek, and Mega Legs are sent back up to the UFO.
00:07:34The Mega Legs robot explodes and Peach's castle falls onto the planet below.
00:07:37Bowser's still frustrated with Mario, and yet again asks Mario to return him back to his
00:07:42regular size and free him.
00:07:44Bowser finds out, though, that everything that just happened was because Jr. was looking
00:07:47for him, and Bowser is shocked.
00:07:49He says that he was a bad father, and it's surprised that Jr. wants to see him.
00:07:53Bowser says that maybe he could reconnect with his son.
00:07:56Cut to Gateway Galaxy, a big sort of traveler's hub connecting all different worlds, filled with
00:08:00crazy different species from all different franchises and Mario games.
00:08:05We see Piantas, these wooden block guys from Galaxy 2, the metal cleaner guys from Galaxy,
00:08:10and more.
00:08:11Peach walks up to a poster of Rosalina, and suddenly has a flashback of when she was very
00:08:15young and holding onto a younger Rosalina's hand.
00:08:18Rosalina, however, let her go.
00:08:20Before she can figure out what this means, Toad is robbed.
00:08:23Ukiki the monkey takes Toad's bag, and he and the princess give chase, eventually finding
00:08:27themselves in a massive, seedy underbelly of the Gateway Galaxy.
00:08:31Basically the Mos Eisley Cantina of the Mario universe, I guess.
00:08:35We then see that Bowser Jr. is still searching for Bowser, while meanwhile, he taunts Mario
00:08:39into finally punching him to turn him big again, by calling him a tiny, pathetic failure of
00:08:43a plumber.
00:08:44Bowser, now big, still claims he wants to be friends with Mario and Luigi.
00:08:47He doesn't turn on them immediately like you might expect him to.
00:08:51Meanwhile, Peach makes her way to a big six-sided casino shaped like a coin block, where all the
00:08:55walls are walkable.
00:08:57It's a cool set piece.
00:08:58Peach and Toad battle with Wart and his crew, another visually impressive crazy action scene,
00:09:03and eventually get Wart to tell them where Rosalina is.
00:09:06Yes, while they started just by chasing the monkey that stole Toad's bag, they ended up
00:09:10getting info from Wart because apparently he knows stuff.
00:09:12This is kind of just one of those movies, you know what I'm saying?
00:09:16They go to do the next thing, and go to do the next thing, and go to do the next
00:09:19thing,
00:09:19and you don't necessarily have to link it up.
00:09:21Yes, they're chasing after a monkey that stole Toad's bag, and then they get to the
00:09:25place, and it turns out that they know the information they just so happen to need, and
00:09:28it's like, whatever.
00:09:29You know, there's a level of that we can accept, but we're not at that point yet.
00:09:33We're not at the criticism point yet.
00:09:36So, to continue.
00:09:38Mario and Luigi are cornered by the Queen Bee.
00:09:40As it turns out, this planet is like Honey Hive from Galaxy, and ruled by bees.
00:09:44When the castle crash-landed after the Bowser Jr. UFO let it go, it destroyed flower fields,
00:09:50and the Queen wants them imprisoned to work off the damage they did, but Bowser volunteers
00:09:54himself instead, truly expecting to do the work, no tricks up his sleeve.
00:09:59Mario tells him that he might not be as bad as he thought.
00:10:01They leave, and are brought to the Gateway Galaxy.
00:10:04We cut to Bowser working in the mines, hacking away at stones with the other bees, only to be
00:10:08rescued by Bowser Jr.
00:10:09They reunite, and Jr. reveals his full motivation.
00:10:12When Bowser Jr. was a kid, Bowser told him a bedtime story about how they would build their
00:10:16own planet called Planet Bowser, and it would have a universe-destroying canon, but they'd
00:10:21need the power of a space princess, aka Rosalina, to do so.
00:10:25This bedtime story, by the way, was told through puppets, which was super fun because it's animated
00:10:31characters doing the puppets, so it's animated Bowser with a puppet on his hand doing the puppet
00:10:37show.
00:10:38I don't know, maybe it's just, like, a me thing, but I thought it was just such a fun
00:10:42concept.
00:10:43It's puppets on puppets, you know what I'm saying?
00:10:46Anyways, Jr. has brought this bedtime story to life, and tells Bowser that he's created
00:10:51Planet Bowser.
00:10:52In the Gateway Galaxy, Peach and Toad deal with Rob the Robot, who is remarkably slow and a
00:10:57pretty funny gag, and are led to the shipyard where we see Pikmin exit a tiny little ship,
00:11:02and we also meet Fox McCloud.
00:11:04There's this great bit where Fox explains who he is, and we see him and the other Star Fox
00:11:08characters in regular 2D animated form.
00:11:11Fox explains that his warp drive exploded, blew a giant hole in the fabric of space and time,
00:11:15and now he's been sucked into a different universe.
00:11:18He's trying to find a way to go home.
00:11:20He agrees to help fly the Princess and Toad to Space Junk Galaxy, where Planet Bowser is,
00:11:24in exchange for some money.
00:11:25Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi finally arrive and meet up with Peach, Toad, and Fox.
00:11:29The 6 person team then fly in an R-Wing, while Star Fox music plays, and are ambushed by
00:11:34Bowser Jr.'s ship.
00:11:35Fox blows up the turrets on the underside of Jr.'s ship, however, inside the ship, Jr.
00:11:39has his own weapons cabinet.
00:11:41Inside of that, by the way, we see both Flood and the Poltergust.
00:11:45Jr. takes out a massive bazooka, but Bowser, however, is cautious, and asks Jr. not to kill
00:11:50Mario and Luigi.
00:11:51You can see that Bowser is conflicted.
00:11:53He loves his son, he wants to give him the life he told him the stories about, but he
00:11:57was truly starting to like Mario and Luigi, and wants to be their friend to some extent.
00:12:02Jr. decides not to kill them for his dad, and instead shoots them with the Super Scope,
00:12:06turning them into babies.
00:12:07No explanation is provided as to why this happens.
00:12:10Jr. drops the scope, and it flies down and crash lands with the R-Wing carrying our heroes.
00:12:14As Fox and Peach now on this new planet try to repair the ship, Toad and Yoshi try to get
00:12:19the Super Scope and turn Mario and Luigi into adults again, but are attacked by a massive
00:12:23actual T-Rex and have a big chase sequence.
00:12:26Finally, Yoshi manages to turn the babies back into adults, and the T-Rex back into a baby,
00:12:31and they meet up with Fox and Peach.
00:12:33Feeling hopeless, Luigi jokingly calls for help using Fox's radio and a trucker voice, and
00:12:37the Lumas from the Comet Observatory hears it.
00:12:40Meanwhile, Jr. tells Bowser that he's meant to be a bad guy, not friends with Mario and Luigi.
00:12:45Friends will just stab you in the back.
00:12:47They arrive at planet Bowser, and Bowser is awestruck.
00:12:51Cut back to Fox and the gang, as the Comet Observatory arrives, giving the heroes a viable
00:12:56ship to fly to planet Bowser.
00:12:58Peach goes to the library and reads the book about her from the beginning of the movie.
00:13:03The book reads,
00:13:04Once upon a time, there was a brave and noble princess named Peach.
00:13:07Her story begins many years ago when she lived on a small planet with her sister Rosalina.
00:13:12The two sisters were made of stardust.
00:13:14Their love burned as brightly as the stars themselves.
00:13:17Together, they could summon the power of the cosmos.
00:13:20We see, visually, a baby Princess Peach touch hands with a young Rosalina and have a sort of cosmic connection,
00:13:25summoning grass on a barren planet.
00:13:27The story continues.
00:13:29But evil forces wanted the power for themselves.
00:13:32Rosalina had to send Peach away, to safety.
00:13:35The toads raised and protected her until she grew strong enough to protect them.
00:13:39Peach realizes that Rosalina is actually her sister.
00:13:43Back at Planet Bowser, Jr. shows Bowser everything.
00:13:45They begin to absorb Rosalina's power in a massive generator to power up their big universe-destroying cannon that they're
00:13:51going to use to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom.
00:13:53Bowser is impressed, and fully commits to siding with Jr. and being evil.
00:13:58He gives a rousing speech to his minions, and the final action sequence begins.
00:14:02Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi jump from the Comet Observatory and chase after Bowser and Jr. in Planet Bowser.
00:14:08At one point, Mario and Peach fall into a pit, and we see Bowser Jr.'s advanced security system try and
00:14:13take them out.
00:14:13But from Bowser Jr.'s perspective, it's like an NES-style graphical interface showing 8-bit Mario and Peach jumping around
00:14:20a regular Mario level.
00:14:22It's super fun, that kind of thing.
00:14:24Same thing from the first movie, with all the little references and gags.
00:14:27After escaping Bowser Jr.'s trials, Mario and Peach make it to a big bridge, like in the original Super Mario
00:14:32Bros.
00:14:33Bowser appears and fights them, throwing axes and shooting fire, with Mario finally using one of the axes to cut
00:14:38down the bridge and send Bowser into the lava pit below.
00:14:42Jr. comes out, distraught, only for Bowser to re-emerge as Dry Bones Bowser.
00:14:46Mario and Peach run towards Rosalina, with Mario closing the gate behind Peach, locking him and the two Bowsers outside,
00:14:53to let Peach have the best chance at getting Rosalina.
00:14:56Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi fight with Dry Bowser and Bowser Jr. in, you guessed it, a visually impressive fight with
00:15:02lots of fun gags and references.
00:15:03The highlight of the fight is when Luigi gets ahold of Bowser Jr.'s paintbrush and uses it to draw Mr.
00:15:08Game & Watch, but says,
00:15:10What? You know, I never learned how to draw. It's a funny way to have Mr. Game & Watch show
00:15:15up.
00:15:16Mr. Game & Watch then actually fights with Bowser on behalf of Luigi, before getting cut in half.
00:15:21Jr. uses his brush to create the dragon from Odyssey as his big final attack, which, for some reason, immediately
00:15:28tries eating him instead of Mario.
00:15:30Bowser's terrified, and Mario grabs the red star that makes you fly from Galaxy, and uses it to fly into
00:15:35the dragon, destroying him.
00:15:37The fight with the Bowsers is over, as Mario is now saved, Bowser Jr.
00:15:43Meanwhile, Peach makes her way to Rosalina, and breaks her out of the generator by touching hands like from before.
00:15:49Rosalina breaks free, and Planet Bowser reforms into a grassy, nice planet instead.
00:15:54The Lumas ask to visit the Mushroom Kingdom, and say they want to see the castle,
00:15:57only to cut to the empty hole in the ground where the castle was.
00:16:00They all decide they'll build another castle, in a fun 2D sprite cutscene using 8-bit graphics,
00:16:06and Mario finishes it off by using the cape flying to the top and planting the flag.
00:16:10Credits.
00:16:12There are two post-credits scenes.
00:16:14The first shows Fox, who says that the princess has fixed his warp drive and he's going back to his
00:16:18home.
00:16:19Dry Bowser and Jr. are locked in prison together, with a Luma guard who jokingly threatens them.
00:16:23The second post-credits scene shows someone else getting robbed by Ukiki, only for none other than Daisy to show
00:16:30up, punch him, and save the day.
00:16:33The end.
00:16:34You know, I feel like that was a lot, but in reality the plot was very simple.
00:16:39This was not a very complex movie.
00:16:42I'm sure you're wondering what I left out.
00:16:45This is probably the shortest plot summary in any of these All-Lore Explained videos.
00:16:50What did I leave out? Nothing.
00:16:52Like, this was it.
00:16:54They...
00:16:55I want to save criticism for a little bit longer, but it is true that these characters in these movies
00:17:02are very passive, are very reactive,
00:17:04and a lot of...
00:17:06In both Mario movies, it's something happens and the characters then react.
00:17:10And that's the same in this movie.
00:17:12Like, Princess Peach, what did she do?
00:17:15Princess Peach got the Luma who told her to go and find Rosalina.
00:17:20So she goes to the Gateway Galaxy.
00:17:22And there she reacts to Toad getting robbed and chases after Ukiki, which leads her to Wart.
00:17:29And Wart openly mentions knowing something about Rosalina, which then makes Princess Peach want him to tell her what he
00:17:35knows.
00:17:36And that leads Princess Peach to go and find Star Fox, who...
00:17:41And it's like that kind of thing.
00:17:43It just keeps going and going and going.
00:17:44I could keep going, you know, forever.
00:17:45But it's very reactive.
00:17:47You know what I'm saying?
00:17:48Mario and Luigi, the only reason they end up getting to Peach is because the things happened to them.
00:17:54You know, the old Bowser Jr. sucked up the castle and dropped it on the planet, which just so happened
00:17:59to have a bee with a bug that would take them to the Gateway Galaxy.
00:18:02Boom.
00:18:03And that is how the plot is.
00:18:06There is very little...
00:18:09I had so much more to say, for example, with something like The Amazing Digital Circus.
00:18:12When I did...
00:18:13I think that was the last All Lore Explained video I did.
00:18:15Because The Amazing Digital Circus is filled with these, you know, dialogue moments and conversations and introspective shots.
00:18:23And, you know, you could take something like...
00:18:25Oh, I mean, I don't know how many of you have watched The Digital Circus, but if there was a
00:18:29scene where, you know, Pomni said something about her previous life to Jax and Jax reacted weird.
00:18:35You could take that and sort of analyze it from so many different angles.
00:18:39You could...
00:18:39You know, the literal angle.
00:18:40What did Pomni actually say?
00:18:42What did Jax actually say?
00:18:43And then, oh, well, what does this say about them as characters?
00:18:45The Mario movie isn't like that.
00:18:48You know, I think that something that surprised me is that I...
00:18:52As I wrote the script, I remembered, oh, yeah, Donkey Kong was in one of the flashback scenes when the
00:18:57little Yoshi segment where we saw a silly explanation as to how Yoshi ended up on the pipe, Donkey Kong
00:19:03showed up.
00:19:03And I remembered, oh, yeah, and then he showed up later, right?
00:19:07Wasn't he around?
00:19:09And I realized, no, Donkey Kong wasn't in this movie at all, except for one little cameo.
00:19:14And so that's the thing.
00:19:16Like, could you say that he was missed, that his character, you know, not having him in this film deeply
00:19:22affected it?
00:19:23No.
00:19:23You know what I'm saying?
00:19:24And so when you're listening to this and thinking like, well, wait, what was the story?
00:19:28The only real story outside of action happening because it has to happen is that Princess Peach was sad because
00:19:39she didn't know her family.
00:19:40And then it turns out that her family was Rosalina.
00:19:42And they had this sort of cosmic backstory that she didn't know about.
00:19:46So she wants to save Rosalina and she does.
00:19:49That's it.
00:19:50There is no stakes outside of Rosalina's safety.
00:19:54And I mean, there are in the sense that Bowser Jr. is going to use Rosalina to power the cannon
00:20:00that can destroy planets.
00:20:01But I mean, that's just like a like a big third act final reason that you have to stop Bowser
00:20:08and not much more.
00:20:10And so throughout this whole movie, like, there's there's not much to say there.
00:20:17There's not much to say about the characters.
00:20:19There's not much to say about the story.
00:20:20That was it.
00:20:23I want to talk more lore, though.
00:20:25And this is important because I don't really think this movie has any.
00:20:30Yes, you heard me right.
00:20:31I know that's either obvious or obviously wrong based on who you are.
00:20:34You might be saying, yeah, of course, the Mario movie wouldn't have any lore dummy.
00:20:38It's the Mario movie.
00:20:39It's probably something I think that's that's something that a lot of you would say to me.
00:20:43But others would probably scoff at me and say we just saw Piantas, Pikmin, Star Fox, Rob and Mr. Game
00:20:49and Watch all at once.
00:20:51Here's my thought.
00:20:53When Fox talked about how he's from another universe and we see him actually animated in 2D, I sort of
00:20:59thought, OK, this makes sense if they're actually doing it.
00:21:02They're setting up for a Smash Bros movie.
00:21:05Fox is from another universe, meaning that there are multiple Nintendo universes.
00:21:10Any character that doesn't make sense to be in the Mario universe can potentially join the Smash Bros movie if
00:21:15they're in a different universe from Mario and get there like Fox did.
00:21:20I almost felt like perhaps showing us this little glimpse of Fox was like teasing more.
00:21:25There could be a story in this other universe.
00:21:28However, I think this is kind of quickly thrown out the window.
00:21:30Mr. Game and Watch, Rob and Pikmin are not at all tied to the idea of being anything other than
00:21:36fan service.
00:21:37There is no establishing these characters.
00:21:39Mr. Game and Watch is even a stick figure drawing who gets torn in half rather than a video game
00:21:43character.
00:21:44There is no indication that Star Fox has any plans to join back up with Mario or re-enter the
00:21:49Mario universe.
00:21:50I saw plenty of people saying that the reason they had all these crossovers and the reason they did Galaxy
00:21:55in the first place is to cast a wide net, so to speak, introduce as many characters as they can,
00:22:00grow the Mario universe as fast as they can, and build towards that Smash movie.
00:22:05I think that's false. I don't think that's why they did Mario Galaxy, and I think that that's not happening.
00:22:10On top of the recent Miyamoto comments, which admittedly are sort of being taken out of context, he said that
00:22:17in terms of the Mario movie, it's not a Super Smash Bros. movie, and so you can't be expecting a
00:22:23Mario movie where all the Nintendo characters appear.
00:22:25However, he does like doing things like putting the Pikmin in the movies.
00:22:29However, the way he said it, I mean, I don't think there's going to be a Smash Bros. movie anytime
00:22:35soon.
00:22:36They didn't grow the Mario universe itself with this movie whatsoever.
00:22:40We see that Wart and his gang appear, sure, that's cool, but outside of that, I wouldn't say that that
00:22:44counts as growing a universe.
00:22:46Sure, the Pikmin could appear in the future, but it's not like they were anything other than a little gag
00:22:51reference for fans.
00:22:52Or take, for example, Rosalina. There was a good amount that you could have done with Rosalina that was simply
00:22:58chosen not to be done.
00:23:00Rosalina's backstory, for example, was not only rewritten with the Peach Sister twist, but everything from the original book in
00:23:06Galaxy was discarded.
00:23:08Rosalina does nothing, serves no other purpose than to be saved.
00:23:11Going into the next Mario movie, we're not in some enlightened age of Mario where, oh, after Galaxy, now we
00:23:17have all these things established we can work with.
00:23:19We have just as much as the first movie.
00:23:22I'll get into why I think this is later, but I think it's going to be more of the same.
00:23:27Maybe the next one will be called Mario Sunshine, or Super Mario and the Rise of Bowser, or something like
00:23:32that,
00:23:32and it'll be another generic adventure with Mario and his friends, and possibly a Nintendo icon who shows up as
00:23:38a helpful side character.
00:23:39Maybe next time, who knows, it'll be Kirby or Ness.
00:23:42For everything that could theoretically be spoken about here, there's nothing to actually say about it.
00:23:47What did you think of the inclusion of the Mario 2 characters?
00:23:50What could that mean for the further development of this franchise?
00:23:53Nothing, really. They were simple goons who served as obstacles for less than three minutes.
00:23:57They don't have backstory and they weren't written in a way that makes you think they'll be back for more.
00:24:02What's up with Daisy?
00:24:03Well, I don't know man, but based on Rosalina's five to ten minutes of screen time max, I doubt much
00:24:08is up with Daisy.
00:24:10Yoshi too, for as much fun as I think he was as a character, there's nothing to actually say about
00:24:15him.
00:24:15If this was the first movie, I'd have more to say about the actual deep lore.
00:24:19I'd be able to talk about the way that Brooklyn and the Mushroom Kingdom are separated.
00:24:22I'd question exactly how the warp pipes work and who built them.
00:24:25I'd try and nail down exactly what kind of world the film was building.
00:24:28But even compared to the first one, which is by no means a good movie, I don't think this one
00:24:34does any of that, even a little.
00:24:37We're taken to space, not as a way to expand the Mario universe, but as an excuse to completely change
00:24:42the scenery as fast as humanly possible.
00:24:44And to put whatever they want in front of our faces.
00:24:47I can't ask a question like, where might the Pikmin have come from?
00:24:51Because that raises annoying questions.
00:24:52We haven't seen any environment in these movies in which the Pikmin would be suited as they're so tiny.
00:24:57So the answer is either they're landing on regular planets like the ones we've seen and are blending in because
00:25:03they're so small,
00:25:04or there are specific tiny planets meant for them.
00:25:07The existence of the Pikmin and Olimar at Gateway Galaxy implies that they're aware of their size being much smaller
00:25:12than everyone else in the world.
00:25:13But the problem I'm having here is that this is a pointless question.
00:25:16There is no answer to this.
00:25:19Pikmin showed up because it's a Pikmin reference.
00:25:21That's it.
00:25:23Fox was very cool.
00:25:25I do hope we get either a standalone 2D or 3D movie.
00:25:28The brief introduction to Fox was probably the only really great part of the entire movie.
00:25:33They cut to an actual photo of Slippy, like the Slippy UI screen from Star Fox 64, and it was
00:25:39the only part of the movie to get an actual vocal, you could hear it laugh out of me.
00:25:44But I wouldn't say that Fox is gearing up to return to this universe anytime soon.
00:25:48The Mario movies, in my opinion, are like Nintendo's show floor, to utilize whatever characters they want in whatever ways
00:25:54they want,
00:25:54allowing you to test drive them around for a little while before whisking them backstage where you'll possibly never see
00:25:59them again.
00:25:59But that doesn't matter because they've already made their money on this project, and next time they'll have even more
00:26:04enticing characters show up.
00:26:06I view these movies as sort of singular things.
00:26:09It's not so much that, you know, I've told this story before, I think.
00:26:13Actually, I'm not sure, but in Halloween Horror Nights, I was at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios online for
00:26:19Haunted House,
00:26:20and, like, a couple guys in front of me were these two guys, and they were, I think they were
00:26:24a little bit older than me.
00:26:25And they were talking about the Mario movie, and they said,
00:26:27Oh, dude, did you hear that Mario Galaxy was announced? That's crazy.
00:26:31And the guy was like, Yeah, what? How could they do that already?
00:26:36And I was, I was so confused, because then the next guy said in response, which is even better,
00:26:41I don't know how they're doing Galaxy already, they haven't even introduced Yoshi.
00:26:45Now, you can say that this is, like, fake people I've made up, I promise you they were real.
00:26:49And, I mean, all power to them for liking that kind of thing, and for talking like that.
00:26:53But in my opinion, I remember thinking, like, What? Like, how could you, they don't, there's nothing to introduce.
00:27:01That you don't have to explain Yoshi before you get to Galaxy.
00:27:04The amount of people that I've seen that were like, Man, I would have liked them to take the Mario
00:27:08universe a little slower.
00:27:09I don't want to jump right into Galaxy. I wish we had gotten Mario 2, 3, World as movies first.
00:27:15What, what, where's the movie in that? Where, where's the movie in, in Mario World?
00:27:21You know what I'm saying? What? Oh, well, we could have done the story where Mario has to fight the
00:27:26Koopalings, or something.
00:27:29Like, all of these Mario games are, there's a good guy who is objectively good, will never, ever ask anything
00:27:35about his character,
00:27:36because he's Super Mario and you're playing as him, and there's a bad guy named Bowser who's captured the princess.
00:27:41If you want to do Mario 3, Mario World, Super Mario, any of them like that, the movie would be
00:27:51pretty darn simple, and pretty darn similar to the first one.
00:27:54You know, like, that first one was all of those classic Marios in one. It wasn't the first Mario Brothers
00:28:00game, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:02And, and that's just this thing that I, I think is, is weird, where people were like, oh, it's the
00:28:07Galaxy movie, so they're adapting the story of Galaxy.
00:28:10When it was clear, at least to me from the beginning, they were never going to adapt the story of
00:28:14Galaxy.
00:28:14This is the concept of Mario Galaxy. It's, it's very much like how Nintendo operates with their games.
00:28:20You know how every Nintendo game now has to have some big gimmick that is sold to people, even though
00:28:24it's, it's a small part of the game.
00:28:26You know, I, to be honest with you, I have kind of been disappointed with Nintendo recently, so I can't
00:28:32even think of a good example.
00:28:33Oh, no, I can. Metroid Prime 4 had the motorcycle. Did you play Metroid Prime 4?
00:28:37Did you know that the worst part of the gosh darn game is the motorcycle? And yet that was the
00:28:42big selling point.
00:28:43They, if they had, if they could have called it Metroid Prime 4, too fast, too furious, too Metroids, they
00:28:50would have.
00:28:50Uh, they loved that darn motorcycle so much. There was an amiibo of the motorcycle, are you kidding me?
00:28:55Um, and like, if you remember any of the Mario Tennis ones, like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, the whole game
00:29:01is sold on the concept of the Ultra Smash.
00:29:04Meanwhile, the Ultra Smash is just, yeah, you know, you can charge up a special move.
00:29:08That's how I view the Mario Galaxy movie. It is not, nobody sat in a room and said, you know,
00:29:15guys, we should adapt the story of Galaxy.
00:29:18I think there's a lot there. Nobody says that. They say, okay, we need to repackage the movie we've already
00:29:25basically made.
00:29:25We want to make another Mario movie, and we want to have similar beats, similar, you know, ideas, but we
00:29:33want to put in characters that people, you know, like different characters.
00:29:36We want to put in, you know, how can we sell another movie? How can we make people go back
00:29:40and basically watch the same movie?
00:29:42And I'm not saying this in like a malicious way. This is kind of all movies. It is very rare
00:29:47that the sequel of a movie is uniquely different.
00:29:50Like, Terminator 2 is like the internet YouTube film bro answer for what a good sequel is, and it's true
00:29:57because it's so different. It completely twists everything.
00:30:00With something like Mario or Home Alone or, boy, I don't know, Sonic the Hedgehog, there's only so much you
00:30:07can do to convince people that this new movie is different enough from the first to be worth seeing.
00:30:13And one of those things is like what Mario does. This isn't Mario. This is the Mario Galaxy movie. We're
00:30:20going to have Brie Larson as Rosalina, and we're going to have, and yes, they obviously pull from the game,
00:30:25but the galaxy theming, the space theming, it's not so much because they want to tell that story.
00:30:31It's because they need some aesthetic to package the movie with to sell it as a sequel, and that's what
00:30:38they do.
00:30:38That's why Galaxy exists as it does, and that's why I see something like, you know, I want to see
00:30:45this like some other people do.
00:30:46I want to see this like the guys online at Universal did. I want to be able to go home
00:30:50and talk to my friends and say, like, oh my gosh, guys, how are they going to do Daisy?
00:30:54Like, what are they going to do with Daisy? I think the answer is they're looking for celebrities, and they're
00:31:00eventually going to find one, and they'll do either something where it's just part of the team or nothing, you
00:31:07know, like Rosalina.
00:31:09I will say, as far as the voice casting goes, because, I mean, it's kind of getting away from me.
00:31:13The cynicism, the negativity, it's escaping.
00:31:17But so before I get there, I will say that the voices were fine. I didn't have a problem with
00:31:21Chris Pratt Mario. Sorry, guys, I thought I was fine.
00:31:24I actually really liked Charlie DeLuigi. Brie Larson was really good as Rosalina. I wish she had more lines. I
00:31:32have no problem with Brie Larson whatsoever.
00:31:35No, I'm not one of those YouTubers, guys. I thought she was great. I thought, leading into the movie, I
00:31:40actually really enjoyed seeing how much she loved Mario and Galaxy.
00:31:43And like, that was like a cool thing. Like, oh, that's a perfect, perfect actor for Rosalina. You've got it
00:31:49right there.
00:31:50And then when I saw the movie and she was so underutilized, I was like, boy, what was the point
00:31:56of that?
00:31:57And I actually think it's funny because I think I know the point of that.
00:32:00And it's the same reason that Donald Glover was cast as Yoshi. I love Donald Glover.
00:32:05This is probably the lamest, most mainstream example, but I love Community. It's a very good show. Okay, I'm sorry.
00:32:14I know that's mainstream. I think he's a great actor. I think he's fantastic.
00:32:20He said the word Yoshi the whole film. Okay, I'm not going to pretend like he would give a standout
00:32:24performance here.
00:32:26And I think the interesting question is, why cast him as Yoshi?
00:32:30And I know that you might be saying, oh, well, yeah, they cast everybody as celebrities.
00:32:34But why cast Donald Glover as Yoshi? Why cast him as Yoshi?
00:32:39And the answer, in my opinion, is because they're saying to themselves, okay, we're going to have a creature that
00:32:44only says Yoshi the whole film.
00:32:46It doesn't matter who the voice is because we have enough. We have other voices that we're bringing on.
00:32:51And in my opinion, it comes from a place of what if we could get Donald Glover fans or people
00:32:58that like him or might like him to watch the Mario Galaxy movie, to cast a wider net.
00:33:04And the way I see it, you know, Donald Glover was on the press tour for the Mario Galaxy movie.
00:33:09If you watch any, you know, promotional Jimmy Fallon podcast, you know, news, any of those things.
00:33:19Or it's a good morning, America, where it's like the stars of Mario talk about the movie.
00:33:22He's there. And I mean, he should be there. He's a main character.
00:33:26But I think, in my opinion, that's Nintendo's point of hiring him.
00:33:29It's to get another face out there to potentially sell it to more people who might not like Chris Pratt
00:33:36or Charlie Day or who, you know, the people that didn't see the first one that weren't convinced.
00:33:39Here's new people. And maybe you'll be convinced to see the second one.
00:33:42I wouldn't be surprised if the third one's got a whole bunch of other other other well-known actors in
00:33:47very minor roles.
00:33:49As far as the actual deep lore of the movie goes, the only thing that I'd say is a mystery
00:33:53or worth theorizing about is when in Rosalina's story about Peach as a girl,
00:34:00there were evil forces that wanted Peach and Rosalina's power for themselves.
00:34:05What does that mean? Who were the evil forces?
00:34:08It presumably wasn't Bowser, so could we be actually secretly hinting towards a bigger bad in the Mario universe?
00:34:13Or will this never be brought up again?
00:34:15Also worth mentioning, it's confirmed that Rosalina and Peach are literally made of stardust.
00:34:20What does that mean for them?
00:34:21Again, I kind of think nothing, really.
00:34:25Another thing I think that is worth talking about, because I know I just got done saying this,
00:34:29no, there's no development, there's no characters, there's no lore, there's no deepness, you're not supposed to think about anything.
00:34:35But I will say it definitely seemed like they were trying to make the audience think that Bowser was, you
00:34:40know, conflicted.
00:34:41He wanted to be a good guy.
00:34:42Like, in the beginning, when Mario turns him big again, you think that Bowser's going to immediately flip.
00:34:48But he doesn't. He actually helps them out.
00:34:49And he genuinely makes the suggestion of becoming, you know, a worker in the mines for these bees,
00:34:56just so that Mario and Luigi can go save Rosalina.
00:34:59And it's like, okay, well, hold on.
00:35:01Maybe Bowser's kind of not totally evil?
00:35:04And then he's upset when Bowser Jr.'s, you know, trying to kill them.
00:35:07And it's like, you know, I kind of think Nintendo's doing a thing here where they're building towards Bowser being
00:35:14a friend of Mario and Luigi.
00:35:16But then they go back on that and they do a thing where Bowser's like, you know, he's angry and
00:35:21he's like, you know, you humiliate me and turn me small.
00:35:24And it's like, it was hard for me to determine as an audience member where exactly it was meant to
00:35:31be going, like, emotionally, I guess.
00:35:35Like, when you do something like that in a film, right?
00:35:38When you have a character, potential good, potential bad, and you have a character like Bowser, let's just use Bowser
00:35:44for an example.
00:35:45You sort of show that he's got a soft side to him and he actually likes Mario and Luigi.
00:35:49And then, you know, obviously he is Bowser.
00:35:50And you sort of show that he's battling with it internally.
00:35:54And when he's with Jr. on the ship and he's like, oh, I don't want you to kill Mario and
00:35:58Luigi.
00:35:59You're sort of doing a thing where you are showing that it's conflicting and is Bowser going to turn, is
00:36:06Bowser going to go to the bad side or the good side?
00:36:09Is Bowser going to fully align with Jr. or is Bowser going to instead, you know, end up saving the
00:36:14day and stopping Jr.
00:36:15because he says, like, I've been a bad father.
00:36:19I never meant to do this.
00:36:21I never meant to make you think that friends backstab you, Jr.
00:36:25I, I, you know, you gotta, if you are mean, then there's nobody in your life.
00:36:31You know, something like that.
00:36:33Which, I mean, I guess Nintendo's allergic to something like that because that would involve a character going through an
00:36:38arc
00:36:38and coming out differently at the end of the tunnel.
00:36:41But, um, I'm joking.
00:36:42But, you know, instead what they do is sort of, they have their cake and eat it too.
00:36:48They have Bowser sort of conflicted and then he fully sides with Jr.
00:36:51But then there's still a side of him that's not.
00:36:52And then at the end of the movie, Mario helps him and saves Jr.'s life.
00:36:57And there's clearly, like, an emotional level to Bowser.
00:37:01But it doesn't really change anything.
00:37:03And he's still in the same spot he's in in the first movie.
00:37:04So is it worth, you know, opening Bowser up to potential, you know, sincerity with Mario and Luigi
00:37:12if all you're gonna do is close it back down and say, like, yeah, you know, I guess he could
00:37:16like Mario and Luigi
00:37:17in some theoretical universe, but he's Bowser so he's gonna be the villain in the next one.
00:37:21Like, why do that, you know?
00:37:22I actually think that just the little thing I've suggested here, um, make Bowser turn.
00:37:29Make Bowser in the end of this movie decide not to kill Mario and Luigi and say, like, Jr., no.
00:37:35You know, you could have had the emotional arc.
00:37:38You have Bowser.
00:37:39I mean, I'm sorry, I sound crazy, but you've got a character who has a clear flaw
00:37:49and you have the potential to make them go through a narrative arc in which they realize that they're wrong
00:37:55and come out better.
00:37:57I know this ties into two more of my opinions.
00:38:02I'll get to it in a minute.
00:38:04Making Rosalina and Peach Sisters destroys the Mario canon.
00:38:07No, I'm joking.
00:38:08But for real, I do think it's indicative of Rosalina not having anything to do in this movie.
00:38:13So to try and glue her back into the main plot, they add this random twist.
00:38:16I think it's also because Nintendo is allergic to expanding their franchises.
00:38:21When they have the key brand icons locked in, there is no going back.
00:38:24Quick, I want you to do something for me.
00:38:26Are you ready?
00:38:26Think of Super Mario Birthday Decorations.
00:38:30Did you think of the new Super Mario Bros style?
00:38:32Of that one Monty Mole render on, like, a happy birthday sign?
00:38:36Of Bowser with his arms crossed?
00:38:38That's what I'm talking about.
00:38:40Mario games will only ever have Bowser as the main villain.
00:38:43The plot will only ever revolve around rescuing Peach.
00:38:46And it will go on like that forever and ever.
00:38:49This is, in my opinion, an example of that.
00:38:51You can't have some random, unknown character showing up and being all-important.
00:38:56Rosalina needs to be tied to Peach in the eyes of Nintendo.
00:38:59Somehow make them related so that she feels more like an extension of Princess Peach than her own character.
00:39:04This is sort of bleeding into my own thoughts on the film, so I don't think I need to hide
00:39:08it anymore.
00:39:09I was not the biggest fan of this film.
00:39:11The thing is, it wasn't as insulting as people are claiming.
00:39:14It's just not really a movie.
00:39:17When the first FNAF came out, the FNAF movie, I should say, I specifically criticized the way that fans just
00:39:22watch to see things they like on the screen.
00:39:24No nuance, no interesting takes on the source material, just things they know.
00:39:28They want to see it presented.
00:39:31I said specifically they want, basically, visual encyclopedias.
00:39:34That is very much still true.
00:39:37And to an extent, I think this movie checks that box.
00:39:39Warp, Birdo, Mr. Game & Watch, Rob the Robot, Fox McCloud, Bowser Jr., Mega Legs, and then they all jump
00:39:46and fly and fight like action figures.
00:39:48The obvious problem that everyone has said already is that there's no story.
00:39:53This is, in my opinion, a Pandora's box-like statement, as I think it goes so much deeper than a
00:39:59statement as simple as, it needs a better story.
00:40:03So, let's finally talk about this, okay?
00:40:05You've seen the Rotten Tomatoes scores.
00:40:06They're very bad.
00:40:08Is the Mario movie bad?
00:40:09Is the Mario Galaxy movie bad?
00:40:11What is the problem, and what does it mean to have a bad story?
00:40:15I think that there are two central problems that go hand in hand.
00:40:18Okay, first of all, by the way, to answer your question, yeah, the Mario movie's bad.
00:40:21The Mario Galaxy movie is also bad.
00:40:23And the reason I say the word bad is because I'm not the kind of person to say, like, oh,
00:40:27it's okay.
00:40:28Oh, that's okay.
00:40:29I feel firmly.
00:40:32I'm sorry about that, but I feel firmly.
00:40:36And as much as I didn't hate the Mario Galaxy movie, I wouldn't tell anyone with a straight face it
00:40:41was a good movie.
00:40:45Here's the thing.
00:40:46There are two words that are used very frequently.
00:40:49One of which is obviously story, and the other of which is pacing.
00:40:52To talk about pacing very quickly, I think that the biggest problem with the first Mario movie was probably the
00:40:59pacing.
00:40:59And I think pacing is a bad word to use because nobody really knows what they're talking about.
00:41:04I saw someone say, right before the movie came out, like, it was a review of Galaxy.
00:41:08This was, like, yesterday.
00:41:09One of the reviewers said, like, oh, you know, this was breakneck speed.
00:41:13Things just happened so fast, and nobody was properly introduced, and, you know, we never have time to emotionally sit
00:41:20with any B, and there was no underlying narrative that tied these things together.
00:41:26Things just kept happening.
00:41:27And one of the comments was from, like, Super Mario Evan, number one Mario fan 11, who said, like, so
00:41:35is the pacing bad this time, do you think, or no?
00:41:37And it's like, I'm sorry, but people are using the term pacing without really understanding.
00:41:44They're seeing that the common trend is, you know, in fandom Twitter, in Mario fandom, oh, the pacing of the
00:41:50Mario movie was bad.
00:41:52And in my opinion, I think the problem is the word pacing itself.
00:41:58I think a better word for pacing, because pacing implies speed, how fast things are happening.
00:42:03But I don't think that that is a valid way to judge the pacing of a movie.
00:42:10Like, I can think of movies with lots of things happening very fast, you know.
00:42:13I could describe movies that feel slow and feel fast, and I could make them feel the opposite way, by
00:42:19the way I describe the plot.
00:42:21Like, you know, I'm trying to think of an example off the top of my head.
00:42:24I'm never good at that.
00:42:25I'm never good at that.
00:42:26But I think you could take a movie like Bullet Train, and you could say, Bullet Train has this happened,
00:42:34and this happened, and this happened, and this happened, and this happened, therefore it's bad pacing.
00:42:37But I think the pacing is fine, because I think that you have time to sit with everything.
00:42:41There is no thing has to happen, you barely introduce anything before it happens.
00:42:47You have time to sit with everything.
00:42:49And that's why I love that movie so much.
00:42:53In the case of this discussion, I think that it would be better to not use the word pacing.
00:42:58I think it would be better to use the word digestion, which is a gross word to say about movie
00:43:03facts, about how good a movie is.
00:43:05But I do think digestion is a better term, because the problem isn't so much that things have to happen
00:43:11fast.
00:43:11The problem is how long you have and how well you digest everything that happens in the movie.
00:43:18You know, I just, I re-watched the Mario movie the other day to get a good idea of just,
00:43:23you know, what to expect for the Galaxy movie.
00:43:25And the thing that shocked me the most was that I think it was like the third, Peach and Mario's
00:43:30first conversation was just so awkward, right?
00:43:32Mario shows up, and Peach says, what? You're a human? Oh my gosh, where did you come from?
00:43:39And Mario says, me and my brother came from Brooklyn, and then I fell in this pipe, and he's in
00:43:44the pipe, and he's in the Dark Lands, or whatever.
00:43:48And Peach goes, oh my, if he's in the Dark Lands, it might already be too late. Bowser's going to
00:43:53kill him.
00:43:54And Mario goes, what? How can we stop him? And Peach says, let's go see what you've got.
00:43:58And then takes him to the obstacle course. And it's like, slow down.
00:44:01Like, these are two characters meeting for the first time.
00:44:04You need to have Mario introduce himself.
00:44:08You need to have these characters.
00:44:09Like, the third thing Peach says is, okay, let's go see what you're made of.
00:44:13Let's go to the obstacle course.
00:44:15Like, who are these characters to each other?
00:44:17You know what I mean?
00:44:19I think that the problem is digestion.
00:44:23We don't have the... I'm going to use Bullet Train for example.
00:44:25Okay, here's Bullet Train.
00:44:27We have to establish two assassins.
00:44:30And we have to establish how they're different from each other, what their personalities are, and also who they are
00:44:35as a group.
00:44:36And so within a few minutes of each other, of itself, we get a scene where we see them argue
00:44:42about how many kills they got on their last assassination mission.
00:44:47And it's funny because you see their personalities in the argument.
00:44:53And then they cut back to show you what the actual truth was as they go through the assassination mission
00:44:59and they show how many people they killed.
00:45:01And then we cut back and we then see that the one assassin is a big fan of Thomas the
00:45:07Tank Engine and uses Thomas the Tank Engine stickers to describe people.
00:45:10And it's just, like, this is not anything crazy.
00:45:14I'm not saying, like, listen how good this is.
00:45:16It's just, hey, look, they had two characters.
00:45:18In order to make them unique and interesting and different than the other characters and also different than each other,
00:45:23they had unique personality traits.
00:45:26They had... they just had them talk to each other.
00:45:28You know, they had them talk to each other.
00:45:30They didn't do that in the Mario movie.
00:45:33Mario barely has time to talk to anyone.
00:45:34Like, 90% of conversations in the first Mario movie is Mario going, hey, what?
00:45:38Hey, wait a minute.
00:45:39Wait, where are you going?
00:45:40Hey, wait a minute.
00:45:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:45:41And it's like, like, Toad meets him and he's like, oh, hey, Mario.
00:45:44All right, come on.
00:45:45Let's go.
00:45:45Mushroom Kingerman.
00:45:46Mario's like, hey, hey, wait a minute.
00:45:47That's the whole thing.
00:45:49And then, um...
00:45:54I think that, you know, a lot of people said, oh, I saw this post on Twitter that was like,
00:45:59the scene on the Rainbow Road from the first movie where Mario and Peach are sort of, like, being flirty
00:46:03and talking back and forth.
00:46:04And Donkey Kong comes and makes fun of Mario.
00:46:06That's so good.
00:46:07They should include more scenes like that.
00:46:08And, yeah, they should because that's, like, the first time that any of these characters have actual characterization in the
00:46:14film that's, like, done properly.
00:46:16So, yeah, I think pacing is a potential issue.
00:46:20I don't know how bad I thought the pacing was in this film.
00:46:24And that really comes down to the second thing, which is the story.
00:46:28Your characters need to be something.
00:46:32I said earlier that Donkey Kong wasn't in this film and that I wasn't... I didn't realize it until after
00:46:37the fact.
00:46:38And I think that that's a very bad thing because if all of your characters are replaceable with other characters,
00:46:44if none of your characters have any element of uniqueness that makes them who they are, that's bad.
00:46:50Like, when you're writing a story, very rarely is it, hey, let me come up with a fun world, let
00:46:57me come up with a crazy character, let me come up with a ridiculous villain, let me come up with
00:47:02a whole society and a weird, unique system.
00:47:06Oh, shoot, now I guess I gotta come up with a theme for all this and some story stuff, don't
00:47:10I?
00:47:10That's not how it works, right?
00:47:12When you are, you know, John Pixar, you come up with a, I'd like to make a movie about environmental
00:47:17stuff and, you know, this and that.
00:47:22And then you make WALL-E based off of that.
00:47:24Or you say, oh, I'd like to make a movie about, you know, I don't know, I don't know, I
00:47:30can't think of the, gosh darn, I want to make a movie about the, the, I can't think of a
00:47:35movie for example I am, I hate coming up with examples.
00:47:38But in a case like this, like, all your characters need to do something for the main story, okay?
00:47:43They all need to tie in.
00:47:45I think that there is a good children's animated film that has a good story that is enjoyable for adults,
00:47:52that is a children's film that does not have a very deep story, and yet it manages to be extremely
00:47:58enjoyable because it does everything right.
00:48:00And I think it's Despicable Me, which is probably not the movie you'd think I'd say at you, you'd think
00:48:05I'd give you something like Toy Story or Monsters, Inc., but those are too easy and too actually great to,
00:48:11to really use as an example.
00:48:13They're too easy to say, yeah, well, those are perfect.
00:48:15Mario movie's not going to be a Toy Story.
00:48:16I think it could be very much better than a Despicable Me.
00:48:20Despicable Me is a very fun movie because it's fun to see the characters.
00:48:24You are immediately introduced to, to a very unique character you've never seen before, who is, is Gru, and he's
00:48:29a villain.
00:48:29And he's not just a villain in the supervillain sense.
00:48:32He's a villain in society, and he freezes people to get ahead on the coffee shop line, and that's enjoyable
00:48:37to watch as someone who will never do that, you know?
00:48:40You're not going to do that, and it's enjoyable to see him do these things that you kind of wish
00:48:44you could do.
00:48:45And so that's fun.
00:48:46And then you see the three girls who are, you know, they're orphans, and they're sort of really badly mistreated
00:48:53in their adoption home, and you sort of feel very bad for them.
00:48:56So when they go to Gru, and Gru starts to, like, destroy the world for them, that's extremely satisfying.
00:49:04With the scene where Gru wins, what's her name, the doll, the unicorn, because he, he destroys the carnival game
00:49:12that the guy was, like, being a jerk with.
00:49:14Like, that's really satisfying to watch, and it's also fun to see Gru talk with the girls, because those characters,
00:49:20you know, bounce off each other really well.
00:49:23And on top of the characters, there's also a good story as a whole.
00:49:28There's also, you know, like, the plot is very interesting.
00:49:31Gru wants to steal the moon, and you see through the plot who Gru is.
00:49:35You see as when he, you know, when the bank chooses not to fund him and instead gives the money
00:49:39to Vector,
00:49:40you could see that he sort of still powers through with the help from the minions,
00:49:44and, like, you get a full sense of who Gru is as a character.
00:49:47And then you watch his arc.
00:49:49You watch that change go through.
00:49:51You watch him become a better person and, like, a father through the course of Despicable Me.
00:49:56And whatever you think about it, being probably like, oh, it's a stupid movie,
00:50:00it's, it's really good for that reason.
00:50:03The Mario movie doesn't have any of that.
00:50:05And I think that the biggest thing that upsets me is that it doesn't even need all of it.
00:50:10It just needs one, right?
00:50:11Like, I personally would be more inclined to share a clip, as much as I love The Amazing Digital Circus,
00:50:17as much as I love it, I totally love it,
00:50:19I would be more inclined to share a clip online with friends of The Amazing World of Gumball than The
00:50:25Digital Circus,
00:50:25a funny scene from The Amazing World of Gumball.
00:50:27Because the characters are so well written, because the dialogue is so fun and feels realistic,
00:50:34and all of those characters are, they're so unique, and it's so enjoyable to see the things they say.
00:50:41They have a, and the show has a unique tone of voice.
00:50:43Like, because of that, The Amazing World of Gumball is not something that I would ever be embarrassed about
00:50:48finding enjoyable as an adult.
00:50:50If I saw a YouTube short of a clip from Gumball and said, oh, that's super funny,
00:50:53I'd never feel like, oh, that's stupid.
00:50:54Here I am watching a stupid kid's show.
00:50:57Because it doesn't matter if it's intended for kids or not.
00:51:01What matters is if it's good, you know?
00:51:03And so, with something like Gumball, okay, there's a good example of, you know,
00:51:08maybe every episode doesn't have, like, some kind of central arc or a theme or a great story,
00:51:12but the character interactions alone are enough to make it enjoyable.
00:51:15The Mario movie does not have that.
00:51:16There is no really enjoyable character interactions.
00:51:19Everybody's generally positive and pleasant.
00:51:22Jack Black is the closest you get to anything like that in either film,
00:51:27but he falls short because there's nobody really to bounce off of.
00:51:31Like, Bowser and Mario don't have the sort of dialogue exchange I would hope that a film version of Bowser
00:51:40and Mario would have.
00:51:44I think that you could also do, you know...
00:51:48A lot of people are saying that the big problem is that Mario doesn't change.
00:51:53I've seen so many people say, oh, the Sonic movies are better than the Mario movies
00:51:57because Sonic and the central characters in the Sonic movies go through a central arc.
00:52:01They change.
00:52:02And the Mario movie...
00:52:03The characters in Mario do not.
00:52:06And I think that this is one of the biggest missteps when, like, critiquing these films
00:52:11because, yes, it is true that, typically, if you're writing a film,
00:52:16you would be advised to make your main character go through a sort of central arc
00:52:19in which they change from A to B.
00:52:21Obviously.
00:52:22That is film 101...
00:52:24Film 100 is 0.5.
00:52:27Even before 101, you learn that.
00:52:30And that's totally fair.
00:52:31And there is, however, a problem,
00:52:34which is that Nintendo would never do this.
00:52:39Here's the deal.
00:52:40In any movie, you could name...
00:52:41In most movies, you could name a character who goes through a central arc
00:52:44who starts as A and that is bad
00:52:46and then learns to be B, right?
00:52:51Michael, the gruff cop who lost his partner years ago,
00:52:55doesn't trust anyone and he has to learn to trust again.
00:52:58There's A to B.
00:52:59There you go.
00:53:00Stuff like that.
00:53:01You know, every kid's movie typically has it.
00:53:03And, you know, Gru goes from being, you know,
00:53:06a selfish villain to a good father,
00:53:09even though he keeps that villainous attitude.
00:53:12And that's what most of these movies have.
00:53:14And that's fair.
00:53:16The problem is that you'd have to have a character with a flaw then.
00:53:20And you'd have to potentially bounce that flaw off of the villain
00:53:24or another mentor character who sees the right way to go about it.
00:53:29And so it all has to be based around some central flaw of your main character.
00:53:34And the problem here is that you would never catch Nintendo dead giving Mario a flaw.
00:53:42There will never be a flaw that they would say,
00:53:44Yeah, Mario, you know what?
00:53:45He's greedy.
00:53:46Or he's not brave.
00:53:49Mario is the Mickey Mouse of video games.
00:53:52Mickey Mouse has no flaws.
00:53:53He's not...
00:53:55He can be mischievous sometimes, but that's not a flaw.
00:53:58That's played for comedy typically.
00:54:00In the same way, Mario never has a flaw.
00:54:03Mario never has to get over anything.
00:54:05I think that one of the reasons I really like the ending of the original Luigi's Mansion,
00:54:09despite the fact that it's very, very simple,
00:54:10is because Luigi cries after saving his brother.
00:54:14Going through, like, something that you can tell is very clearly difficult for him
00:54:18because he's scared.
00:54:19And as simple as that is as a story,
00:54:22I'm not pretending that that's a great story or anything,
00:54:24it works for me.
00:54:26Whereas Mario has never had to struggle with anything.
00:54:30And, you know, I've seen people say,
00:54:32oh, no, no, no, you don't understand.
00:54:34You know, Mario had to learn that he was enough.
00:54:39That's like the only...
00:54:40I saw a post on Twitter the other day that said something like that.
00:54:42Luigi had to learn to be brave,
00:54:44and Mario had to learn that his attitude was the right one to have
00:54:49and that he was doing the right thing.
00:54:51Which is like, that's...
00:54:53No.
00:54:54That's like saying my A to B was learning that I had to go from A to A.
00:54:57Like, no.
00:54:59That's not an arc.
00:55:00An arc is not, hey, you know, I have this attitude towards life.
00:55:04You know what?
00:55:05I think that's the right one to have.
00:55:07That's not an arc.
00:55:09And Luigi becoming more brave, we didn't see that.
00:55:11We didn't see that at all, you know?
00:55:13And so in Galaxy, we have the same problem.
00:55:17There are no central arcs.
00:55:18There are no characters that change over the course of the film.
00:55:20Mario and Luigi are the exact same at the end as they are at the beginning.
00:55:24So how do you do it?
00:55:26How do you do it?
00:55:26How do you give Mario a flaw that ties into the core narrative
00:55:30and makes it so that he has to change by the end of the film?
00:55:35You don't.
00:55:36I think that you'll have a very hard time thinking of one.
00:55:38I'd like to see you think of one genuinely.
00:55:40Genuinely.
00:55:41My favorite kind of comments are the ones in videos like this
00:55:44where it's like, give me your pitch for something unique.
00:55:48Because it's creative.
00:55:49It's like creative writing.
00:55:50It's fun.
00:55:51And so, yeah, I mean, if you could think of a good central flaw to give Mario,
00:55:56go for it.
00:55:57Tell me, please.
00:55:58But I think instead, it's more interesting to think of what else you can do.
00:56:04All of these videos that say that Sonic is good and Mario is bad
00:56:07because Sonic goes through an arc and Mario doesn't,
00:56:09they're missing the fact that you don't actually have to go through an arc
00:56:12to have a very good character or a very good film.
00:56:16One of the best films of all time,
00:56:18a film that my film professor in high school called a perfect film,
00:56:22capital P, perfect film, that I personally agree with,
00:56:25is Back to the Future.
00:56:26It is an incredible film,
00:56:28and its character is completely passive and does not go through an arc.
00:56:31He does not, in the first movie, in the first movie, in the first movie.
00:56:35He does not change.
00:56:36He is, his sort of rebellious attitude that he has in the beginning of the film
00:56:40is what he carries with him into the ending of the film.
00:56:43And even though you could argue that he got more,
00:56:45he was mature.
00:56:46No, not really.
00:56:47He's the same character in the end as he was in the beginning.
00:56:50Back to the Future is about a kid, Marty McFly,
00:56:53who is in high school.
00:56:54His crazy scientist pal, Doc, Doc Brown,
00:56:58he invented this time machine,
00:56:59and it goes wrong.
00:57:01Doc dies, and Marty, escaping the people that shot Doc,
00:57:04accidentally goes back all the way to, I forget the specific year,
00:57:07back when his mother and father were in high school,
00:57:10and he needs Doc's help to get back to the future.
00:57:12So what happens?
00:57:13Is there time travel shenanigans?
00:57:15Is there all kinds of crazy mix-ups?
00:57:18No.
00:57:19The story is about Marty getting his parents back together.
00:57:22Because the real character in Back to the Future is not Marty.
00:57:26It's Marty's father, George McFly.
00:57:28And in the beginning of Back to the Future,
00:57:30we see that George McFly is a loser.
00:57:32Marty's father is a total loser.
00:57:33And he's bullied by Biff Tannen,
00:57:36the, um, I forget what job he has.
00:57:39He's like a mechanic or something in the modern day.
00:57:40Or, I forget.
00:57:42Um, but he's sort of just bullied by Biff
00:57:44and taken advantage of, and George is a loser.
00:57:46And Marty, you know, it feels bad for his father.
00:57:48So then when Marty goes back in time,
00:57:50he has the chance to,
00:57:51he sees that on a family photo,
00:57:54he's disappearing.
00:57:54Because whatever he did,
00:57:56made it so that his parents will never meet.
00:57:57So now Marty has to get his parents to meet
00:57:59before he can go back to the future,
00:58:01or else he'll never exist.
00:58:03And so, in doing so,
00:58:05Marty helps George confront
00:58:07all the things that make him a loser
00:58:09and a weird nerd.
00:58:10And in the ending of the film,
00:58:11we see George McFly actually confront
00:58:14and punch Biff in the face.
00:58:15And it is such a satisfying moment.
00:58:18Despite the fact that George isn't actually
00:58:20the protagonist, it's Marty.
00:58:21And so, what's going on here?
00:58:23Well, you don't have to have your main character
00:58:25go through an arc.
00:58:26You can have a secondary character
00:58:28be influenced by your main character.
00:58:29If your main character is going to be deemed perfect
00:58:31in the eyes of the world of the film,
00:58:33you can have a secondary character
00:58:35be influenced by them
00:58:36and have it just as effective
00:58:38as if it was a main character
00:58:39going through the arc.
00:58:40Look at Elf.
00:58:41Or, I guess I said,
00:58:43like I said, Back to the Future,
00:58:44Elf is a movie where Buddy the Elf
00:58:45is never in the wrong.
00:58:46Well, he isn't in the wrong
00:58:48when he's creeping in the women's bathroom.
00:58:50But in terms of the film,
00:58:52Buddy the Elf is never wrong.
00:58:54They never criticize him.
00:58:55They never say you have to be less Elf-like.
00:58:57They just say, you know,
00:58:59people think he's weird.
00:59:01That's the worst slap on the wrist Buddy gets.
00:59:04Buddy doesn't change in the film.
00:59:05Buddy doesn't have to change.
00:59:07As a matter of fact,
00:59:07when he's so depressed
00:59:09because he thinks he's been doing everything wrong,
00:59:10he is reaffirmed by Santa
00:59:12and told,
00:59:13no, you've been doing everything right.
00:59:15It's actually Buddy's father,
00:59:18Walter Hobbs,
00:59:19who has to change,
00:59:20who goes from being stuck up
00:59:22and, you know,
00:59:23you've seen the film probably.
00:59:24and then by the end of the film,
00:59:26he's fun and jolly
00:59:28and a family man,
00:59:30all because of Buddy's Christmas spirit.
00:59:32That's an example of how you could also do it.
00:59:35Have your main character
00:59:36be the perfect example of a person
00:59:39in the world of your film
00:59:40and then have a secondary character
00:59:41who is completely not
00:59:42who gets affected by that main character.
00:59:45And so,
00:59:46again,
00:59:47we run into some problems.
00:59:48How would you do this with Mario?
00:59:50Would you have Mario have some flaw
00:59:52that allows him to go through an arc and change?
00:59:54Would you have some secondary character
00:59:55from Mario
00:59:56who is deeply flawed
00:59:58and has to be influenced by Mario?
01:00:00What is Mario's unique attitude
01:00:02that makes him perfect
01:00:03in the eyes of the world?
01:00:04And this is where you come down
01:00:06to the real problem,
01:00:07which is that
01:00:08the games they're based off of
01:00:09don't provide this.
01:00:11You know,
01:00:11I've seen a ton of people
01:00:12talking about how Galaxy
01:00:13should have taken the Rosalina backstory
01:00:15and the ending of Galaxy.
01:00:17I've seen so many people
01:00:19online on Twitter
01:00:19over the last few days saying,
01:00:21I'm so disappointed.
01:00:23I guess it's over the last day
01:00:24that I'm so disappointed
01:00:26that they didn't adapt
01:00:27to the ending of Galaxy.
01:00:28Now,
01:00:29if you don't know,
01:00:29in the ending of Mario Galaxy,
01:00:31Mario sort of reshapes
01:00:33the entire universe.
01:00:34Like,
01:00:34the universe is reborn
01:00:35and it's sort of weird
01:00:38and at least when I played it,
01:00:39I thought it was like confusing
01:00:40and a little abstract.
01:00:42But basically,
01:00:42Mario helps the universe
01:00:44become reborn.
01:00:45And the Rosalina backstory
01:00:47involved Rosalina
01:00:48and her parents
01:00:49and how Rosalina was alone
01:00:51with the Lumas
01:00:52and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:00:53It's like 11 pages of,
01:00:55or it's like a billion pages.
01:00:57The problem with adapting
01:00:58either of these things
01:00:59is that I don't think
01:00:59they'd work for the film.
01:01:01I don't think that
01:01:02the rebirth of the universe
01:01:03makes any sense for this film,
01:01:05for a kid's film,
01:01:06for something that
01:01:07has to lead into
01:01:08a potential sequel.
01:01:09It just doesn't make sense to do.
01:01:11It also wouldn't feel
01:01:12very effective.
01:01:13You know,
01:01:14there's a difference
01:01:14between the Mario Galaxy movie
01:01:16and the actual Mario Galaxy game.
01:01:18If the world was reborn
01:01:20in the end of Mario Galaxy,
01:01:21the movie,
01:01:22first of all,
01:01:22how weird would it be
01:01:23if the world was reborn
01:01:25and reshaped?
01:01:26Like,
01:01:26that's just confusing
01:01:27and strange.
01:01:28Second of all,
01:01:30it wouldn't be emotionally
01:01:31resonant whatsoever
01:01:32with what we have just seen.
01:01:33The Mario movies
01:01:34are action-packed.
01:01:36There is no,
01:01:37you know,
01:01:38the quiet sadness
01:01:39of Mario Galaxy.
01:01:40There was no quiet sadness
01:01:41in the Mario Galaxy movie,
01:01:42okay?
01:01:43And as far as
01:01:44the Rosalina story goes,
01:01:47how could you have adapted
01:01:49that into the film
01:01:50and made it mean something?
01:01:52How could you?
01:01:52You would have needed
01:01:53Rosalina to be
01:01:54a main character.
01:01:55You would have needed
01:01:56a way,
01:01:56a natural way
01:01:57to dump
01:01:58all of this
01:02:00exposition
01:02:00about her backstory
01:02:01into her character.
01:02:02and you would have needed
01:02:03to make it
01:02:05mean something
01:02:06in the long run
01:02:06for her character.
01:02:07The ending of her
01:02:08character's story
01:02:09would have had to
01:02:10tie into it.
01:02:12And they don't have that
01:02:13so they didn't do it
01:02:14and they can't do it.
01:02:17And I think that
01:02:17a lot of people
01:02:18don't get it.
01:02:19Like,
01:02:19this is why I said earlier
01:02:20that what people want
01:02:21is an encyclopedia,
01:02:23a visual encyclopedia
01:02:24of things they know.
01:02:25If Mario Galaxy
01:02:26was like a loose adaptation
01:02:27of the Galaxy story,
01:02:29there was no real
01:02:30meat to it.
01:02:31it was just stuff
01:02:32from Galaxy repurposed
01:02:33and Mario was on
01:02:34the Comet Observatory
01:02:36and Mario,
01:02:37you know,
01:02:38read the book
01:02:38about Rosalina.
01:02:39Like,
01:02:39people would be like,
01:02:40oh,
01:02:40that was awesome.
01:02:41But it wouldn't make
01:02:42anywhere near as much money
01:02:43so they'd never do
01:02:44something like that.
01:02:47So I don't know personally,
01:02:48to get back to the
01:02:49original point,
01:02:50I don't know how
01:02:50I would fix this issue.
01:02:51I don't know
01:02:52what I would say.
01:02:54I don't know
01:02:54a fatal flaw
01:02:55I could give to Mario.
01:02:56I don't know
01:02:57a big flaw
01:02:58that I could give
01:02:58to another character.
01:02:59I don't know
01:02:59what I'd say
01:03:00about Mario
01:03:00that makes him
01:03:02above others
01:03:03in terms of
01:03:03the Mario world.
01:03:07The games
01:03:08are not as deep.
01:03:09They don't have
01:03:09story that people
01:03:10could make a film
01:03:11off of.
01:03:12Not at all.
01:03:12I'm sorry.
01:03:13Like,
01:03:13I'm sorry to say.
01:03:14And that's not me saying,
01:03:15oh,
01:03:16what did you expect
01:03:16from a Mario movie?
01:03:17They're not that deep.
01:03:17Of course not.
01:03:18I'm saying the films
01:03:19don't have the stuff
01:03:19to make a film.
01:03:20I'm sorry,
01:03:21the games don't have
01:03:22enough content
01:03:22in the story
01:03:23to make a film.
01:03:24So you have
01:03:25to write the film.
01:03:25like if you want
01:03:26to make a good movie,
01:03:28you write the film
01:03:28itself.
01:03:29You don't take it
01:03:30off in the game.
01:03:32I feel like I'm just
01:03:33talking in circles,
01:03:34but ultimately
01:03:34at the end of the day,
01:03:35what it comes down to
01:03:36is the fact that
01:03:39Nintendo is making
01:03:40so much money
01:03:41from this.
01:03:41And fans are sort of
01:03:42like scattershot,
01:03:44scatterbrained,
01:03:44and not fully sure
01:03:47if it's good
01:03:48or it's bad
01:03:49or, you know,
01:03:50you can't have
01:03:50a good Mario movie
01:03:51or you can't have
01:03:52a good Mario movie
01:03:53or if it should have
01:03:54deep themes
01:03:54or if Mario should
01:03:55go through an arc
01:03:57and, like,
01:03:57I'm sitting here
01:03:58laying down my thoughts.
01:03:59I ended up talking
01:04:00about this for way
01:04:01longer than I thought
01:04:02I would.
01:04:05And it's like,
01:04:05man,
01:04:06to some extent,
01:04:07here I am saying,
01:04:07like,
01:04:08you could have Mario
01:04:08go through an arc,
01:04:09you could have another
01:04:09character go through an arc
01:04:10and get affected by Mario.
01:04:13Does it matter?
01:04:14You know?
01:04:15Does it matter?
01:04:16I think Mario is
01:04:19sort of,
01:04:20you know,
01:04:21the book Save the Cat,
01:04:23which I reference
01:04:24very frequently.
01:04:24It's sort of like
01:04:25a baby's first
01:04:27screenwriting book
01:04:28if you were,
01:04:28not a literal baby,
01:04:29if you were starting
01:04:30screenwriting,
01:04:31that is always the book
01:04:32I'd recommend first.
01:04:33That's the book I see
01:04:33tons of people
01:04:34recommending first.
01:04:35It's one of those books
01:04:36where a lot of people
01:04:36are like,
01:04:37actually,
01:04:37you shouldn't read that,
01:04:38but that seems to be
01:04:39the contrarian opinion,
01:04:40not the actual opinion
01:04:41because the actual book
01:04:42is super,
01:04:43super knowledge
01:04:44knowledgeable and helpful
01:04:46and it basically details
01:04:47the three-act structure
01:04:48and the hero's journey
01:04:50that everyone follows
01:04:53and the Mario movie
01:04:55doesn't follow that.
01:04:56The Mario movie
01:04:57doesn't follow that at all
01:04:58and one of the things
01:05:00that it says too
01:05:00is like there's a genre
01:05:01of a movie called
01:05:02the superhero genre
01:05:03where it breaks down
01:05:04the basic genres
01:05:05of what a movie could be
01:05:05and I don't even know
01:05:08where I'm going with this.
01:05:09The Mario movie
01:05:09fits into the category
01:05:11of what it claims
01:05:12is a superhero genre
01:05:13which is that there
01:05:13is one or more individuals
01:05:15who are elite
01:05:17or above the others
01:05:18in the world
01:05:19and they use that power
01:05:22to make the movie.
01:05:23That's why the movie
01:05:24is interesting
01:05:24because there's someone
01:05:24with extraordinary abilities.
01:05:29But they don't,
01:05:31like,
01:05:32I don't know how
01:05:32to explain it.
01:05:33I don't know
01:05:33how to explain it.
01:05:34The Mario movie,
01:05:35theoretically,
01:05:36every single little thing
01:05:38where you're like,
01:05:38okay, well,
01:05:38let's give it a little
01:05:39leg room here.
01:05:40Let's give it a little
01:05:41bit of room to stand on.
01:05:43You know,
01:05:44there's nothing.
01:05:45There's nothing.
01:05:46The story is nothing.
01:05:49It's empty.
01:05:49There was no story in this.
01:05:51There was just characters
01:05:51doing things
01:05:52because they have to go
01:05:52do things.
01:05:53The characters,
01:05:53the interaction,
01:05:54okay, well,
01:05:55you know,
01:05:55whatever.
01:05:55No big deal.
01:05:56No good story.
01:05:57That's fine.
01:05:57What about the interactions
01:05:58between the characters?
01:05:59Is there fun character interactions?
01:06:00No, there's nothing.
01:06:01There's not even a little bit.
01:06:02Okay, well,
01:06:03what about some arcs?
01:06:04Do characters go through arcs?
01:06:05Do characters influence
01:06:06others to go through arcs?
01:06:07No, there is nothing.
01:06:09Okay, well,
01:06:09maybe it fits into the stereotype
01:06:11genre of superhero movie
01:06:13where Mario is an exceptional,
01:06:14you know,
01:06:15whatever,
01:06:16whatever,
01:06:16super-powered individual.
01:06:17No,
01:06:18it's not
01:06:18because everyone in the Mario movie
01:06:20has superpowers
01:06:20and Mario isn't really
01:06:21that special whatsoever.
01:06:23Like,
01:06:26it really is.
01:06:28Like,
01:06:29there is no difference
01:06:30between the Mario Galaxy movie
01:06:32and the picture of the Mario Galaxy movie
01:06:33on the side of a box
01:06:34of a Happy Meal.
01:06:35It does the same thing.
01:06:37It sells you Mario.
01:06:40You know,
01:06:41I have such
01:06:42deep,
01:06:43dark,
01:06:45depressing thoughts
01:06:45about the way
01:06:46that it works
01:06:47and the fact that,
01:06:48like,
01:06:48nothing that I've said
01:06:50is really going to matter
01:06:51in the long run
01:06:52or people aren't going
01:06:53to take this
01:06:53and say,
01:06:54like,
01:06:54you know what?
01:06:54The Mario movies
01:06:55are actually no good.
01:06:57You know,
01:06:57everybody's sort of realizing that.
01:06:59Same with the FNAF movie,
01:07:00but it's too late.
01:07:01Like,
01:07:01you've let the cat
01:07:02out of the bag.
01:07:04I personally think,
01:07:05and now this is going off the rails
01:07:06and this is where I'm going to stop.
01:07:08I'm not going to get into this
01:07:08because this is, like,
01:07:10truly dark territory.
01:07:11I think the problem is fandom.
01:07:13I think the problem is fandom
01:07:14because in order for fandom to exist,
01:07:17it requires
01:07:19inherently positive viewpoints.
01:07:21You know,
01:07:21if a fandom exists,
01:07:22let's just say
01:07:23Five Nights at Freddy's,
01:07:24for example,
01:07:24the fandom has to be
01:07:26inherently positive.
01:07:27They have to like the thing.
01:07:28they can't say
01:07:28the thing is bad.
01:07:31Otherwise,
01:07:32what are they fans of?
01:07:34Like,
01:07:34when I,
01:07:35when Security Breach came out,
01:07:36I remember it felt like
01:07:37we were at this sort of
01:07:37weird tipping point
01:07:38where so many people
01:07:39were like,
01:07:40this is terrible.
01:07:41And then all of a sudden
01:07:41there was just this massive
01:07:42group of people
01:07:43that were like,
01:07:43you know what?
01:07:43Five Nights at Freddy's
01:07:44Security Breach is great.
01:07:46And it's like,
01:07:47man,
01:07:48there's this sort of
01:07:49inherent positivity
01:07:50that's required
01:07:51with any fan base.
01:07:53And I think that's why
01:07:54something like the FNAF movie
01:07:55can succeed.
01:07:55That's something like
01:07:55why the first Mario
01:07:57Gallop,
01:07:57the first Mario
01:07:58movie could succeed.
01:07:59And it's because
01:08:00it has to.
01:08:02It has to for the fan base
01:08:03to exist.
01:08:05And then when something
01:08:05like this happens
01:08:06where it's like,
01:08:07hey,
01:08:07this is bad
01:08:08and the fan base
01:08:08has almost shifted
01:08:09to being a fan base
01:08:10of hating on it.
01:08:12It's like,
01:08:12well,
01:08:12that's too late.
01:08:14Like,
01:08:14the discussion has,
01:08:16I don't know.
01:08:17I don't know.
01:08:17I don't know.
01:08:18I have already seen
01:08:20reviews of people saying,
01:08:21what did you expect
01:08:21from a Mario movie,
01:08:22bro?
01:08:23I saw all the things
01:08:23I like in it.
01:08:25And that's fine.
01:08:26That's fine if you see
01:08:26the things you like.
01:08:27I highly recommend
01:08:29the Star Wars
01:08:30visual encyclopedia,
01:08:31the Five Nights at Freddy's
01:08:33visual encyclopedia,
01:08:34the Super Mario
01:08:34visual encyclopedia.
01:08:36You'll see characters
01:08:37you like,
01:08:37you'll see things you like,
01:08:38you can read about
01:08:39events that happen
01:08:39that you like to hear about.
01:08:41It's fantastic.
01:08:42It's really,
01:08:43really great.
01:08:44At the end of the day,
01:08:45I thought the Mario Galaxy
01:08:46was subpar at best,
01:08:47and that's at best.
01:08:49I thought that
01:08:51I had more emotion
01:08:55watching the
01:08:55Paw Patrol trailer
01:08:57beforehand
01:08:59for some new
01:09:00Paw Patrol movie,
01:09:01even though that
01:09:01emotion that I felt
01:09:03was sort of
01:09:04embarrassment
01:09:05and disgust
01:09:06that I was being
01:09:06shown this trailer,
01:09:07and I was wondering
01:09:08what it was saying
01:09:09about me,
01:09:09a grown man
01:09:10at midnight
01:09:11at the Mario movie,
01:09:12preparing to spend
01:09:13my night making
01:09:13a video about it.
01:09:15I felt like
01:09:16there was no good
01:09:17story to this.
01:09:18There was no story.
01:09:19If somebody asked me,
01:09:20what was this?
01:09:20Oh, what's the Mario movie about?
01:09:21It's about nothing.
01:09:22A princess gets kidnapped,
01:09:24and all of the Mario characters
01:09:25run around
01:09:26and fight
01:09:26and smash into each other
01:09:28like stupid action figures
01:09:29for hours.
01:09:31Ironically,
01:09:32this is my one
01:09:34big truest statement.
01:09:35If you could take
01:09:36any statement from this video
01:09:37and crystallize it
01:09:38in what I think
01:09:39is pure truth,
01:09:41it's this one.
01:09:42And it's that
01:09:42this should have been
01:09:43a video game.
01:09:45This Mario movie
01:09:46should have been
01:09:47a video game
01:09:48because
01:09:50the story,
01:09:51despite being nothing,
01:09:53was above
01:09:54the video games
01:09:55on some level.
01:09:56I thought that
01:09:57the Bowser,
01:09:57Bowser Jr. thing
01:09:58was fun.
01:09:59That was the best part
01:10:00of a film,
01:10:01in my opinion.
01:10:02Well, second only to Fox,
01:10:03but imagine if this was a game.
01:10:04Imagine if this,
01:10:05it looked like this,
01:10:06and it had the environments
01:10:07that looked like this,
01:10:07and they made a Mario game
01:10:08where it was like,
01:10:09oh yeah,
01:10:10you know,
01:10:11you go to all these
01:10:12different places,
01:10:12and you see all these
01:10:13different things,
01:10:13and you fight
01:10:14all these different people,
01:10:15and you go to this big
01:10:15like hub world,
01:10:16and the hub world,
01:10:17it's got Pikmin and Piantas
01:10:18and Rob the Robot,
01:10:19and Star Fox shows up
01:10:20and helps you save the day
01:10:21at the end of the game,
01:10:21and Bowser's got this
01:10:22massive planet
01:10:23that's like a theme park.
01:10:24Like, that would be
01:10:25the greatest Mario game ever.
01:10:27You know,
01:10:27we'd all say like,
01:10:27that was the coolest Mario game.
01:10:31But instead,
01:10:32it's a movie.
01:10:35It's a movie.
01:10:40So this was Super Mario Galaxy,
01:10:42all lore explained.
01:10:43I also tried the title
01:10:45Full Story Explained.
01:10:46I don't know which one
01:10:46is going to get it.
01:10:47I don't know which one's
01:10:48going to win the A-B testing.
01:10:49If it's Full Story Explained,
01:10:51I'm sorry.
01:10:53I'm sorry that the plot summary
01:10:55itself was very short.
01:10:56If you actually wanted
01:10:57a plot summary,
01:10:57and were hoping that this was
01:10:58an hour and 12 minutes
01:10:59of plot summary,
01:11:01I couldn't.
01:11:02There's literally,
01:11:03I could barely stretch it
01:11:04to 20 minutes.
01:11:05I skipped nothing.
01:11:07I hope you enjoyed the video.
01:11:10I had a lot to say, clearly.
01:11:11A lot that I didn't expect to say.
01:11:14Please, if you want more
