mrsluigivargasAs someone who has been avoiding a lot of the trailers and promo information for the new Mario movie, I am very scared and concerned about the stuff that has managed to slip past my blocked tags anyway. I've been seeing glimpses and screenshots of, like, the Drill and Cloud and Frog powerups here, Wart and Honey Queen in the voice cast there, and Rosalina and Bowser Junior, and Tostarina and the T. Rex from the Wooded Kingdom with Baby Mario and Luigi and Yoshi to boot and, like. What the heck is happening in that movie, honestly!
The first movie was definitely a keys-jingling-in-front-of-your-face we'll make you point at the background and go, "Hey, I know that! Hey, I know that! Hey, I know that!" kind of experience, but what I've seen so far makes it seem like they're cranking it up to 11. And since I've been avoiding the trailers, I don't know if there's supposed to be some kind of proper emotional/thematic throughline or not. Or if this is just keys jangling in front of something simple again. And that's not even getting into the fact that the first movie was 90 minutes flat; how long is this movie going to be? Are they gonna fit all that into 90 minutes again? If they do I'm genuinely going to lose my mind.
There's also a Tumblr post I saw the other day that pointed out that as the Mario movies are established to be mainstay, everyone's gonna realize how there aren't any black people in there at all, and. Christ alive. They're gonna introduce Daisy in Movie #3, and she's gonna be pasty white and I'm going to sink to the ground in embarrassment for all the years I spent being fannish about this series. Not to mention they'll totally #Girlboss her in probably the exact same way they did Peach. Or maybe they'll damsel her, like they're seemingly doing to Rosalina. It will be a total shit show, I know it.
Anyway, I won't be able to watch the movie until like the week after it comes out so godspeed to me ig 🙃
