Re: Mario Movie Crosses $1 Billion Mark At The Global Box Office This Weekend

While I don’t think it deserves to be the highest-grossing animated movie, I do think it deserves it more than Frozen 2, and most of Disney’s other recent animated movies, so go Mario

EDIT: Just realized it was the best opening weekend, not highest-grossing… still, of the 15 movies ahead of it, 11 are worse than this one in my opinion

“Let's not beat about the bush — it's not quite the critical hit many might have been expecting.”

Wow it’s exactly what I expected…

Why would an Illumination movie based on a video game with the most bare-bones story imaginable have a story? The visuals and voice acting is all that matters in this movie, and they seem good enough. Glad viewers are enjoying it (:

@Sam_TSM I don’t think anyone’s “kneeled subserviently” in front of the royal family in years… you just kneel to them because it’s a honor, it’s their title. You don’t have to serve them subserviently.

The Prime Minister, or President of the US, has more actual power. Should games not mention roles that exist across the world in everyday life?

Re: Mario Movie Directors Explain Their Take On Princess Peach

BabyYoda71

@OFFICIALMichi I hadn’t already made my mind up, I was genuinely curious (my original comment came off a bit hostile, sorry). I assumed the directors meant in the mainline Mario games, which was why I was confused (I forgot about Super Princess Peach though)

I do like Peach’s role in this movie, and it seems at the very least done in a different way than all of those examples.

Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023

@lyle_catcliffe Yes, there was, it was just Xenoblade Chronicles focused… there was also a Partners Showcase which still counts.

I was mostly referring to 2021, but upon googling it, Nintendo was actually part of E3 that year.

Anyway, for actual direct, if they don’t have one in June, they’ll probably have one sometime in the summer, or in April-ish.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden?

@romanista I just read that article, and personally didn’t really think most of that was homophobic? I don’t really understand why having a character that’s afraid to come out (like most people in real life) would be homophobic.
The only part I’d say is homophobic is that they never mentioned it again afterwards, but I’m sure that’s not the only storyline that doesn’t get brought up again.
