Luigi, Peach, and Bowser have some pretty decent casting, but who thought Chris Pratt as Mario was a good idea?! And Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong? And KEEGAN MICHAEL KEY AS TOAD?! What on earth?!?

Maybe, just maybe, we as a culture can perhaps move past the stereotypical Italian caricature trope? No, okay, just checking.
Mamma Mia!
Didn’t say I liked the casting per se, but I do think Mario could use a new voice in the film from what we’ve had in the games.I mean they can not have the stereotypical Italian caricature AND someone who fits better?
I'd need a lot of drinks to enjoy thatMy bet is on a Jumanji-type of story (normal human characters get transported into bodies of the game characters). Explains away the stereotypical accents.
Anya Taylor-Joy is an absolute gold casting as Peach. I just don't like how heavily comedic the lineup is.These announcements made made laugh so hard, but I genuinely love them minus Pratt as Mario. I don't get the hate for everyone else.
I know what to expect from Illumination at this point so i'm not surprised, but I don't really get what happened to them. Their first film they ever made (the very first Despicable Me) was full of heart. Everything since then has been nonsensical.Was anybody expecting a Mario animated movie from Illumination wouldn't be a full-on absurd comedy, though?
It's going to be extremely broad silliness, just like all Illumination movies, with a few stabs at "heart." I expect lots of pop needle drops that will be dated in about two years, too.
Illumination is perfect
