You underestimate how early in the 2000's shrek 2 was. It is definitely a Gen Z movie as well imo. That being said, idk what you would even name the gen after Gen Z, and tbh I also am losing interest in the generational labels as time goes on.

"He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight." "I'm Holding Out for a Hero till the morning light." Why do those lyrics weirdly fit with Mario, Peach and everything else as a whole?

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

In my opinion, that iconic 80's Song sung by Bonnie Tyler really suits Mario more than Shrek when you review carefully the lyrics

[@quangamershyguyyz7166]

To be fair. It just kinda fits anything with a heroic character in it. It’s not really that specific.

Can anyone help pinpoint exactly what's different about the movie version vs. the regular album version from 1984? I saw "Super Mario Bros" in the theatre yesterday with a friend, and when this song played I turned to him and whispered "is this a cover? or really Bonnie Tyler's original vocals?" because its audio sounded SO different from the LP Version 39 years ago. I noticed in the ending credits that someone named "Harvey Mason Jr" is given credit for Additional Production on "Holding Out For A Hero" and I think there were some additional vocalists listed in the ending crawl too. So did they what, just remaster the song from the original multi-stems and/or add new vocals? I'm dying to know!
