I think this is it for me, too. Mario's look in the games is more like a toy than an actual person.
Can you articulate what's so bad about it to generate such an extreme reaction?
My thoughts exactly. People will overreact to everything nowadays.
He looks like a pedophile, like an Unreal engine 4 fan model, I hate everything about this movie already and that Chris PRATT is voicing him.
I don't what you all are mad about, it's literally just Mario.
There's nothing inherently wrong with different animators/artists doing their own take on a classic character. You see it done all the time.
This design will likely allow the animators to display a greater range of expressions than the game design, which is fairly stiff and looks more like a toy.
Cool cool, we're all very impressed with how repulsed you are and how a cartoon plumber's design differences that amount to half-percentages make you want to end your life because he looks like he molests children. Any other gruesome and dark real life atrocities you'd like undermine by assigning them to a children's mascot looking slightly different? Worse than the holocaust maybe?
I agree with your overall point (even though right now I don't like this iteration) but it's definitely not between Smash (Brawl specifically I assume?) Mario and Odyssey Mario. The face is the same basic shape, proportions and design on those two, but it's different here. The extra realism in the outfit is Brawl-esque, but it's still overall a new design that I wouldn't say is between anything on that scale - it's another new step.
This is just another iteration of mario - as there have been many. Nothing really wrong with it. It's somewhere between Smash Mario & odyssey Mario
I meant the outfit is like smash, with realistic textures - the mustache is like the promo art for odyssey. The eyes/mouth and arms being shaped slightly different is of course it's own thing.
It's not even in the same universe as ugly Sonic. You can tell Nintendo actually approved this design.
It's fully animated, they confirmed this when it was announced.
Nintendo has always been fiercely protective of their IP. I'm sure they were very hands-on with this movie.
It's Illumination it's going to be 100% CG. They've not usually done any live action in their recent movies (Pets, Minions, Despicable Me, Sing)
That's the reason why Nintendo became protective of their IP'sAlways huh? ;)
That movie though did result in years of Nintendo cancelling any large scale plans for more tv shows/movies of Nintendo IPs for the next couple decadesAlways huh? ;)
