The Super Mario Bros Movie - Nostalgia Critic

12:20 Fun Fact: When Martinet auditioned to be Mario, he considered doing that but figured kids would prefer something happier. He then revisited the original idea when asked to create Wario's voice

[@pundertalefan4391]

Interesting. :03

[@beatziegraham6928]

If anything, Danny Dvito would make a perfect Wario if he was to be in the next movie. And Gilbert Gottfried (while passed away) would make a perfect Waluigi.

[@MrThischarmingman2]

I think either Willem Dafoe or Christopher Walken would be perfect as Waluigi.

If they wanted an after-credits tease for the sequel, I can think of something like this: Elsewhere in the Dark Lands, in a gloomy castle; Kamek, having escaped, enters the kingdom to a mysterious small figure ???: This had better be important Kamek: Great Prince of the Koopas, your father has been held prisoner in the Mushroom Kingdom ???: .....Is that so? A glowing jewel on a wand illuminates a red threatening light near Kamek ???: Who is responsible for this??!! Kamek: Two humans by the name of Mario and Luigi, they are allies with Princess Peach The figure soon goes to pick up a familiar bandana Kamek: What shall we do, your highness? ???: It's simple, we get papa back, destroy those foolish humans along with the princess, and bring down the Mushroom Kingdom for good! But first....I need to gather a few friends of mine to aid me in this quest Kamek: You don't mean....THEM?! ???: Yes....Them! Kamek: Your royal highness, you're a genius like your father! ???: Well of course.... The figure puts on the bandana mask and turns around to reveal himself....Bowser JR....The son of King Koopa himself Bowser JR: They don't call me Junior for nothing.... Screen goes black and we hear JR's evil laughter fill the room before fading to credits

[@prestonendresmovies]

So Mario starts off in this movie hating mushrooms, the same way Popeye in his movie hated spinach at the start. And the fact that Mario was originally supposed to be Popeye. Coincidence?? *I THINK NOT.*

[@pundertalefan4391]

Funnily enough, I think (in the case of the movie), Popeye still doesn't like spinach. Mario actually developed a taste for mushrooms (supposedly). XD

[@mrcwillis6970]

I really loved this movie. Definitely not perfect but it’s a lot of fun and gives us the stuff we were wanting to see for a Mario movie. The amount of references and little details were amazing. Love the music and animation, the scene with Mario and Luigi using the power star made me feel emotional. Get well soon Kate. 💫

[@aokhoinguyenang3992]

The whole "I am a princess but nobody is above me" remind me of a funny parody in Slayers franchise: prince Philionel El Di Saillune rule the country, is in his 40s,with 2 daughters and he is still a prince just because his father is still alive(has been in a coma for god knows how many years)

[@SBaby]

7:56 - While I do agree that with Mario, simplicity is often the best way to go, I have to say one thing. If they ever freaking put Geno in one of these movies, I bet my account that everyone in the Mario fandom would go absolutely mental. Tease him in a post credit scene and you'll have millions of fans paying to go see the next movie in theaters, guaranteed.

[@pundertalefan4391]

Remind me who Geno is?

[@SBaby]

@@pundertalefan4391 Geno is a character from Super Mario RPG, who basically acts as the mage of the group. He very quickly became one of the most popular Mario characters of all time, even though he only ever appeared canonically in one game.

Falling in love with the song, “Peaches.” It’s the best song because it explains Bowser’s obsession with Princess Peach for decades since Mario game debut.

[@paperfox19]

i'm a big believer in letting things roominnate, something a lot of shows that are binged lose, cause people will burn through a show and move on to the next one, without taking in everything the show has to offer, for better or worse. I grew up with shows premiering on a Friday or Saturday typically would watch it, talk to friends about it through the week, then before the next ep would rewatch the last ep so it'd be fresh in my mind

[@DarkKnightofAnime]

In regards to the casting of Mario and Luigi I found myself liking Charlie Day as Luigi more than I did Chris Pratt as Mario which isn't me saying Pratt was bad cause I do see a good performance trying to get out but there's an aspect to how Day portrays Luigi where you can tell he knew he was working with a limited amount of character spotlight and tried to get the most he could out of Luigi's time on screen

[@castleoffiction96]

It's like we all predicted - Charlie naturally has more Luigi mana than Pratt has Mario mana UNLESS you're thinking that fan project, Mario Warfare

[@metanightmare4454]

In regards to Cranky, though, how weird is it that the old crappy DKC tv show managed to do a better job casting for him?

45:08 I definitely, heavily, recommend you guys to watch sonic 2. It's way better than the original, and even though it has it's problems/moments, it does contain more fan service/stays more faithful to the source material. In my opinion, it's the best video game movie we've gotten so far, only slightly beating the Mario movie. Again, I really recommend this movie to you guys, it's pretty good.

[@pundertalefan4391]

The only gripe with the movie I have is that they didn't give credit to the guy who actually wrote the DK Rap. That sucks.

[@original__gmebvy]

The scene where they go underwater/underground to stop a pressure control valve from going off would have been the perfect time to do a Scapelli joke referencing the first film. I know that the Og Mario movie is terrible but it’s still a campy B-movie with family and friends, and it’s a shame no one made that connection aside from the Nostalgia Critic. Now whenever I watch this movie, I’ll never be able to unsee or unhear that Scapelli reference

[@wokenlunatic2849]

Koopa: but what if she said no? Bowser: *BURN HIM INTO A SKELETON!*

[@SBaby]

9:00 - The Mario movie is living proof that professional movie critics are a dying breed, and that modern moviegoers just aren't interested in the boring slow moving and awkward plots movies need to have to please those critics. We don't need a movie to spend 2 hours reminding us how much the world sucks, when we can just turn on the news and get our fix of it that way. Movies are supposed to allow us to get away from that, and many modern movies severely miss that mark. That is why people aren't going to movies anymore. This is no big secret. It's just a basic obvious truth that you only need two working eyes to see. Critics refuse to admit this because they are either in severe denial, or because they're getting paid big money to promote the crap that nobody is interested in.

Always appreciated the reactions to any vids you react to Nate and rest of Renagades and alot of the pause and talk moments are entertaining to hear and the video's format will take some getting use to but will adjust to it also love the reactions vids keep up the fantastic work Renegades.

26:50 - To be fair, Sonic has been in cars in games before. So it's not too different from what's normally going on in the games. Plus, the movies are probably adaptations of... well, I'll get to that after the third movie comes out.

You get to drive on both the moon and Saturn's rings.

I second Nick watching Signs. I admit I might be biased, it was one of the first horror-adjacent films I ever watched as a kid and I loved it. Saw it in theaters, and thought it was so cool. I even used it to introduce my kids to more intense films. (Horror-adjacent meaning I know it’s probably more sci-if, but it’s played as a suspense film. And there are genuinely scared moments.)

I think it would have made a little more sense if it was revealed that the power ups affect humans more than toads thus why they relied on Peach, and later Mario and Luigi. Also, Luigi should have snatched Spikes Pizza as he left 7/8ths of it behind ... waste not. 🍕

[@danielscott5673]

my thoughts on this mario film is the same as doug from his untitled review show review on this mario film: snobby critic: Mmm, i am so sorry, mario bros. movie. You just don't understand the meaning of cinema. Doug: It's a battle of the ego centric kingdoms that like to put their faces on everything in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. snobby critic: And as you may have noticed, it's not exactly getting the best reviews from critics and ugh can you really blame them? This is not what cinema is all about, sure it is visually very impressive, but the script simply isn't there. Why can't they make it more like 'Way of Water'? Another film that was visually dazzling, but that wasn't enough. The script was breathtaking, who has ever dared to suggest save the whales? Nobody has. You need to see it several times in order for the layers of that script to really sink in- *take off glasses* me and Doug: This movie's fine.

The new reaction format? My penny for thoughts? Hey. Your channel, you guys format it how you please...that being said. At the same time, it's flawed. I love you and your guys reaction stuff, because I'm getting a reaction AND a mini podcast. Haha XD ;D ^^ Don't get me wrong about that, this whole reaction format though. Do correct me please, it has been pointed out by yourselves and/or at least folks you reacted to towards the subject of reaction channels/videos that that format demotivates folks. Specifically, they lose the drive to watch the original before watching a reaction video to it and instead they only watch the reaction video. That AND the perspective of me watching a video and then a reaction video to it in THAT format legitimately feels like I watched the same thing twice, but one of them now has people in the corner(s) of the video.

[@willemthijssen1082]

I would not be in favor of the big screen with small cameras. For one, I think your style of the small screen is your style, and it sets you apart. Secondly, your small quips and laughs make more sense when you can see where everyone is seated (not talking about the longer tangents, but the short things) and I think it would kill the organic nature of your reactions. And thirdly, I myself am always thoroughly annoyed when large parts of the video are blocked off by cameras, since some jokes happening in the corners of the screen just don't translate when you can't see them. TL;DR, I am skeptical, but we'll see what happens.
