Wow neat sponsor
I’m definitely going to buy it!
I don't blame the animators, I blame the heads at Illumination...
I think Chris Pratt as Mario, and Jack Black as Bowser, are silly choices and it will probably be a lame-o movie, but I genuinely liked the Sonic movie and I'll probably see Mario regardless of how bad it is. Mario is still my favorite game franchise. I'd love to see a Zelda story movie.
I'm convinced that Arlo’s gasp and realization that a Luigi's Mansion movie could happen was completely off script and he legit figured that out while recording.
That would actually be so lit
Yeah
Image the weird voice king boo would have
Dwayne Johnson as King Boo would sound super amazing.
Edit: Wow, no, it's King BOO, autocorrect!
I laughed so hard at his reaction xD
I will say, for all the damage the Minions have done to comedy, the first Despicable Me movie was actually really charming, sweet, and had a (then) really unique visual style.
I know right lol. The little girls in the first despicable me was honestly the pinnacle of my existence, they were PERFECT in that movie. And honestly I didn't mind the minions in the first movie, because they didn't have any annoying jokes or phrases and they didn't feel like they were the main focus. And also one thing, aside from the first despicable me, there animation is AWFUL. It's so plasticky and shiny it just looks unappealing, the colors look so flat and bland it's honestly disgusting.
The first Despicable Movie was before Illumination realized that they didn't have to try to make a lot of money.
@@jeepmega629 true true
I honestly feel like the main problem with the Minions is their voices. A large part of their comedy seems to be slapstick/physical comedy which has been a thing in animation for decades (like Tom and Jerry, Loony Tunes, or cartoons from the 30's). I think they'd be less seen as a "curse on animation" if they were relatively silent.
I love how Arlo's go-to clip to use of Jack Black is the scene where he's been kidnapped by The Muppets, I would have expected nothing less.
“Actually Kane and Yoshiller edited the video” 🥸🥸🤓🤓
The man is at least 50% Muppet himself. Especially with the beard.
I love how Arlo went completely silent at the very concept of a Luigi’s Mansion movie. I would definitely watch that.
The videos of people reacting to the cast announcement alone was massive free publicity for the film.
Sonic also had that, and that was the most forgettable movie of the last few years
@@mikemcmullen5006
it still made alot of money anyway, just like the mario movie will do, probably
@@mikemcmullen5006 Sonic movie was Awesome!
Not to mention the most convenient thanks to covid and internet. How many other game-movies had that luxury?
@@mikemcmullen5006 Sonic was one of the few movies that came out in 2020 lol.
3:27 I stand by this when I say Charlie Day was the best casting choice in the entire movie and I’m excited to see him in action, just watch some of the videos where people animated Luigi over Some of Charlie’s lines in Always Sunny and you’ll see that he fits perfectly
4:11 I honestly don't really understand this take.
Miyamoto isn't a fan of big Mario stories because he thinks gameplay should always be the focus.
A movie doesn't have gameplay. The entire thing is all story.
And Miyamoto really understands how to make things entertaining, imo. He directed the Pikmin short films, and those are amazing. I'm sure he's had loads of great input for the Mario movie.
That being said, I'm also pretty worried, because Illumination convinced him to allow Chris Pratt to be Mario, and it's likely Illumination are convincing Miyamoto that some other bad choices are actually good ones... So uh... I'm not that optimistic anymore.
But at the very least, I think Miyamoto being involved is a very good thing.
Miyamoto is a massive boomer with a fried sense of what's funny and what isn't. The pikmin short films were great cuz those were short and sweet and lacked dialogue, which made it perfect for the things he's good with.
I'm mainly banking on Koizumi having a say in how things are going with this film to one extent or another.
I know it's the big thing to hate on Chris Pratt as Mario, but who would you have casted? And please don't say Charles Martinet, the man is a treasure, but having that voice for a feature length film would be incredibly grating and lack any nuance.
@@Yohoat Charles Martinet has voiced Mario in full sentences before.
have you watched the lego movie? Chris pratt was great in that. Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong scares me a bit...
@@MatthewKrekeAuthor Yes I have watched the Lego movie multiple times and yes Chris Pratt was great. But I don't really think that fits mario.
The first Despicable Me was a pretty unique and solid movie, so maybe they'll tap back into that for this but probably not
I think it’s most likely they probably will, considering how Illumination stated themselves that this will be unlike ANY movie they have produced. So there’s that.
All I see is Disney's marketing team buying time for the eventual death of American cinema. Aardman, Illumination and Light Chaser are superior in every aspect.
The Despicable Me franchise went from good to bad to awful. Hopefully they can buck this trend with the Mario movie.
@@MindinViolet The first two Despicable Mes were good, but Minions and the 3rd film range from okay to garbage.
I hope Mario does well enough that Nintendo gets the idea to commission a studio to make a sick Metroid show. Make it a more violent and dark version of Mandalorian.
Holy shit, the baby metroid could be a baby yoda parallel
That could either be cringe or dope as shit
Watch the entire internet bawl its eyes out after the baby Metroid sacrifices itself to save Samus
A Metroid film or show could be interesting. However, there is always the chance it could resemble Metroid's last attempt at something more story-heavy...
(In case it isn't clear, I'm referring to the infamous Other M)
Metroid is a good possibility as they've attempted to make a Metroid film before in the 2000s before canceling it. With Metroid Dread doing well, and the possible success of the Mario film, I could definitely see a Metroid film not being far off from Nintendo and Universal. However, I think Metroid would only be PG-13 at most as none of the Metroid games are M-Rated.
Unless it's something like Primal which focuses more on visuals and has 0 dialogue then no. I do not want to hear Samus talk, I do not want to hear her make quips, I do not want Metroid to be trying to copy the Guardians of the Galaxy's tone just because the MCU made it work for their space movie.
I do hope Nintendo did at least have Illumination rein back the cliches they’re infamous for.
Also I think it’d be a pleasant surprise if Chris Pratt took influence from either Captain Lou Albano or Walker Boone’s performances as Mario.
They said no italian accent
@@kolo5141 who said no Italian accent?
@@carlapaolagonzalez498 Illumination has commented on Pratt's casting, and said that he's not gonna have the accent, and they feel Charlie Day as Luigi covers the Italian side of things
@@CassidyShadewing well that sucks doesn't make any sense either both Mario Bros always had the same accent if only one does the Italian stuff then how the heck can we call Mario Mario?
The Minions movie was painfully awful. The last thing we need is a Mario movie along similar lines. The first Despicable Me film was quite charming and rather good, I thought. Hopefully the Mario movie is more like this.
The funny thing is that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie turned out to be exciting, hilarious, well-acted and sharply-written, so Mario has quite the competition to live up to.
I love the fact that he put a note saying that the Captain Underpants movie is good, and that you should watch it, so true lmao
I loved the books as a kid, and finding out WEIRD AL DOES THE SONG AT THE END!? YES PLEASE!!!!
@@PsychoDiesel48 Dav Pilkey is a huge fan of Weird Al; it was something of a surprise for him to learn Weirdathan Albert would be writing him a song
@@Fralexion excellent. So good.
I have to agree with you Arlo on basically all the points you've made. The Mario movie will be massive. I just have this sinking feeling I'm going to leave the theater a little disgusted and heartbroken
Don't give up hope just yet! If we're not fond with the trailers, history may repeat itself as with Sonic.
Aside from the first Despicable Me Illumination has never made a movie I would consider above ‘fine’. I saw an ad on a cereal box for Sing 2 and I had genuinely forgotten about that movie’s existence. So yeah my hopes are not particularly high for it being ‘good’, just a phenomena.
@@pharoahcaraboo9610 while watching this video I thought to myself, "I don't think I've seen a single Illumination movie" then he showed all of them with their budgets and gross and I realized I've seen just about every Illumination movie...
I’m hoping if it’s bad, it’s at least a fun train wreck
@@pharoahcaraboo9610 despicable me.is like 7/10 at best as well.
"It's hard to imagine a Charlie Day Luigi."
Not really. Charlie Day is good at playing characters that are absolute nervous wrecks. Which is why a Luigi's Mansion is something I would be excited about.
Agreed. Charlie Day was the one actor announced that made me say "yeah, I can see that being a good fit for the character." I think he'll be a pretty enjoyable take on Luigi.
Charlie day and Jack Black as Bowser are the ones I said ok that makes sense
Well... Mario movie is currently on trajectory for a $1.5 billion box office, even before opening in Japan and South Korea, its biggest international markets... so, uh, yeah, Arlo was right and the box office analysts were wrong.
I really enjoy hearing Arlo's opinions on the Mario movie
I also enjoy hearing arlos opinions on the mario movie
I also enjoy hearing arlos opinions on the Mario movie
I too enjoy hearing Arlo's opinions on the Mario movie.
The rush of adrenaline I felt as I came to the same Luigi's mansion movie realization as you did in the video is astounding!
Same!!!
Omg me too
I'd be slightly less pessimistic about the movie if Illumination wasn't involved. They are competent animators, but they are truly the poster children of the "Celebrity first, eh who cares about the rest" animated feature trend. I've seen a few of their movies somewhat involuntarily over the years and they're the cinema equivalent of way off brand junk food. They're not even twinkies or store-brand twinkies, but sketchy podunk gas station knock offs that make you regret your culinary choices.
I will give credit where credit is due, the hotel transylvania movies are *phenomenally* animated, but the stories are shite. I hope the movie Is actually good though.
@@Scrittlescrattle Hotel Transylvania was animated by Sony, which is kinda ironic thinking about a mario movie lol
@@LeMiraculer PFFT YOURE RIGHT! How could I have forgotten🤦♀️
@@LeMiraculer even worse, they're gonna have the director of that film to be the director for the movie.
It would be pretty bleak if Nintendo wasn't as involved with the movie as they are.
I love the way Arlo gasped when the idea of a Luigi's Mansion movie came in. 17:06 Also with that poster, I hope the implication is Christopher Lloyd as E. Gadd and Mark Hamill as King Boo because that's casting I could get behind.
I’d love nothing more than to learn about the biology of Arlos.
I wanna get that Arlo Lore.
Arlore, if you will.
If “The Secret Life of Pets” can make 800 million world wide, I feel it’s nearly impossible Mario will be a flop money wish. Love them or hate them, Illumination is good at marketing, budgets and being “good enough”. Even if you are like me and think it’s a plague of hollow soullessness, you have to admit it works sadly.
Moviegoing audiences are dumb.
Well you also have to take into consideration that the secret life of pets was also a movie that came out before a pandemic existed so that can play a part as well.
@@iraford5788 that is a solid point
the finest wine.
17:16 I love this poster. the corniness, the actors (mark Hamil as king boo for sure), and most of all the perfectly imperfect thanksgiving release.
Anatomy we know Arlo has:
-Eyes
-Mouth
-Ears (for RayCons)
-Glarfileptor
- arms, hands, fingers
I can't believe they managed to cast the original voice of Mario- Chris Pratt!
3:27 tbh Charlie day doing his neurotic, mile a minute ramble shtick would be excellent for Luigi.
I will once again reiterate my thoughts on the cast:
Mario - Chris Pratt has proven his skill as a voice actor with the LEGO Movie (and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien which I am including here solely because of personal bias), which came out before he was famous. We don't know what Mario will sound like, but I'm sure Pratt can come up with a good voice for him.
Peach - I only know Anya Taylor-Joy from Split, but if that's anything to go by then she'll do a great job.
Luigi - Charlie Day is, quite frankly, perfect. I would have gone with John Leguizamo again because it would have been funny, but Charlie Day can absolutely portray a nervous wreck as he has proven many times.
Bowser - This is the one everyone seems to agree is good, so there's not much I can say about it.
Donkey Kong - Seth Rogan already kind of sounds like what DK would sound like if he had a human voice. If he just deepens his voice a little, it'll be a dead-ringer for the games.
Toad - It could be pretty hilarious if Keegan-Michael Key does a deep voice for Toad, and if that's the joke they're going for I'm here for it.
Foreman Spike - I honestly don't know crap about Sebastian Maniscalco.
Cranky Kong - I grew up watching Fred Armisen on SNL, and I can imagine him easily doing a "back in my day" kind of grumpy old man.
Kamek - Kevin Michael Richardson is usually known for his deep voices, but he has done voices that sound pretty much like Kamek before.
This movie is either gonna be a dumpster fire or the best film to grace the Earth.
Its probably going to be boring considering its by Illumination. :/
Both.
At least casting Seth Rogen as DK gives Seth "hates Christmas" Rogen a character he can accurately portray the intelligence of.
to be fair to Seth Rogan christmas is an awful holiday
@@METC500 yes, so terrible to wish peace and joy to the world /sarcasm
There’s a small part of me that wishes it would be based of Super Mario Super Show. That would probably be a terrible option but I kinda want to see it regardless.
Judging from the promos you're not totally wrong
17:04 NGL if that Mark Hamill starring role was for King Boo. That would actually be a great casting choice.
Nintendo's other franchises become insurance. Please let me explain:
When Mario does well, there will be sequels and spinoffs. Donkey Kong will happen before Luigi's Mansion or Captain Toad, but they're all up there as probable. I could even see a Super Princess Peach or Paper Mario eventually, but not likely within the first 8 movies in the series. Once it's an established series of movies, sales will start to trail off a bit eventually, but it will be a long while before that happens. To reinvigorate interest when it eventually does, another Nintendo property will be tried next. This will be Zelda, because obviously. This creates the need to tie the movie franchises together because that will allow them to also act as marketing for one another, increasing their overall effectiveness. Tying in Detective Pikachu (and whatever sequels it will inevitably get) as well would only be the smart thing to do, and they could probably get Sega on board to bring in movie Sonic (and its coming sequels), giving it a good solid base to work from of several IPs and plenty of movies.
So once they make a Smash Bros movie this way, all of these lesser known characters that are in Smash are now open for getting their own movies. (Most won't and some will only get one, but it makes a few more of them plausible, like Pikmin, which I could see being attempted as just a one-off eventually but becoming the Nintendo Cinematic Universe's equivalent of Minions, resulting in more sequels being made.) Also, Nintendo will want a way to use their Smash Bros IP effectively in the future, and there's no way for the next Smash game to top the current one, so they'll likely have to skip a console or two before releasing the next Smash game with a "back to basics" marketing strategy... But in a movie, they could sell that concept easily once established, and it could become their Avengers.
"But a billion different companies have tried and failed to create cinematic universes" - Yeah, because they all rush it too much and push overarching storylines instead of making each movie its own thing. Marvel's worked because they had enough establishing movies first, and each movie in the set works on its own (except for a couple of the ensemble movies that came in late enough to not need to work on their own anymore). Right now, Illumination isn't focusing on making a shared universe, they're focusing on one movie at a time. That is, coincidentally, the right way to make a shared universe, and the IPs exist to do it, so it's just a matter of long term success to make it eventually happen... And we all know that there will be great financial success here, for all the reasons you talked about in your video.
This will, in turn, feed back into the video games. It makes sense to release a Mario game alongside a Mario movie, right? Hype for either one feeds into the hype for the other, doubling the effect of all marketing for either. (I'll be surprised if the next Mario game doesn't come out around the same time that the movie does, even if they'll be unrelated this time through the cycle... Maybe a Mario Odyssey sequel?)
The result of all of this is that we could wind up someday seeing a Pikmin reboot video game based entirely on a movie version of Pikmin that are a Nintendo's Cinematic Universe's equivalent to Minions... How's that for a cursed monkey's paw wish?
Captain understands was amazing and deserved much more than what it got. No one saw it and it made me sad. My entire family loved it!
As much as I enjoyed the books, I'll admit I thought the movie was going to be terrible. Saw it on streaming a few months ago, and while it was certainly different in parts and mixed up a lot of the different stories in the series, it was great! Did the books justice while being its own thing!
"Why are Disney remakes making so much money?" That's an easy answer, they're cashing in on nostalgia.
I’m so hyped to hear Jack Black as Bowser lol. He’s gonna steal the show! (So are Charlie Day and Seth Rogan!)
I need Jack Black Bowser to have a musical number in the film. I fucking need it.
@@CBreezie ye same
@@CBreezie YES!! Lmao
Seth Rogan is the one that worries me the most, tbh...
@@CBreezie I've been meaning to see if I could use the internet to float the idea by Jack Black to cover the song Ignorance is Bliss by the Jellyfish, a song written in the 90s licensed by Nintendo wherein Bowser sings about a plan to become an oil Tycoon and grind all the Yoshi's into fossil fuel.
3:20 not gonna lie though, the more ive thought about it the more it fits PERFECTLY! Chris Prat may not have sounded right at first, but he has the right tambre, just needs to put on *some kind* of accept, could be brooklin, could be itialian, I have no clue what hes gonna do but its gonna sound like Mario. Charlie Day as luigi I think we all knew was a fit. Jack Black as bowser is simply amazing, it doesnt even really *need* to sound all gravely and grumbly, im sure he will make it his own. And for toad.... Idk anyone can play Toad if they dont want to use their vocal chords for the forseeable future.
Yep he was right.
“Especially Mario himself, who has never spoken more than just short phrases.” Allow me to remind you of the Mario Sports Mix interview with Mario, Mario Teaches Typing 2, the Super Mario’s Nintendo 3DS Tour video, Mario dissing Sony at E3 2007, and Charles Martinet doing special video performances as Mario for malls with Nintendo’s Holiday Mall Experience!
The big factors that will decide if this film makes money is
1. Are we still in A Pandamic
2. What animated films are released around it
3. How the movie is received on it first week
The movie will be competing with Avatar 2 and Aquaman 2 so there's that.
Yeah, if that his all a thing then, they should definitely push it behind.
A Luigi's Mansion movie. Arlo, you have brought light and life to my existence. Thank you for thinking of the next logical step in a Mario Movie franchise before anyone else.
I think that what most people may not know about Illumination’s goal of making cost-efficient films is how they are really made. While the character design, writing, and storyboards are done in California, the actual animation process is outsourced via Illumination Studios Paris or formerly, Illumination Mac Guff.
This is in stark contrast to Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks, which often has movies budgeted in around $100-$150 million due to the animation process being done in California.
Also, Illumination also decides very early on if a film should go straight into development or be scrapped instead of spending years on pre-production like the other animation houses have often done.
Well obviously it’s cause Charlie day is playing Luigi, just like how the Lorax did well because of Danny Devito.😆
Both Charlie Day as Luigi and Danny DeVito as the Lorax make sense ngl
Imagine if the Mario Movie opens with The Minions shouting Illumination (as usual) only for Toad to appear and throw a red shell at them to shut them up. I'm sure That would be hilarious for both people who like and dislike those Minions.
I fully agree, there is no way this movie is gonna fail. No matter how good or bad it is, it's gonna make all the money in the world. They could just c/p the 90's movie plot into CGI and I'm pretty sure it would still make bank for everyone involved.
Update: The “Super Mario” movie just got pushed to April 2023. A quick glance at BoxOfficeMojo shows the competition will be much less stiff than the Avatar 2 and Shazam 2 it would’ve faced this December.
I would actually love a Luigi’s Mansion movie!
I'm not too worried about Miyamoto. He has said in interviews that he consider games and film to be two completely different medium that has very little in common, and that if you ask him, story is not the point of video games. It needs to be there to set the player in a context and give them a goal, but that's about it. So he doesn't hate stories in general, he just doesn't think it's important to have lot's of plot in video games.
So for the past 4 years, I have been trying to create a Super Mario Bros. Fan Film out of Pure Spite for Illumination. My friends & I have been hard at work creating a Fun Movie. Not a Stock Image Movie, a GOOD movie. I am very proud of what Wii have accomplished and I hope that you all will feel the same once it’s complete! (The Film will be available on my UA-cam channel “Water Me Loan 64” & our team channel “Fruit Salad Films”!)
When and where can Wii see it?
So how would Wii be able to keep up with the development of this movie?
Could Wii get any sneak peeks?
I gotta see this--!
It's not official so it doesn't matter.
17:05 I love that you are just floored at the possibility.
Oh heck yeah we get to learn more about arlo's anatomy!
7:42 I’m glad Arlo/Kane knows about the absolute magnificence of the Captain Underpants movie!
Personally I think if the movie ends up successful then nintendo could make movies and Tv shows for there other properties (Ie. Kirby, Metroid, Splatoon, Zelda, star fox ect) personally I would love to see a kirby movie in threaters, soooo I am hoping this movie is at least succesful enough to tell Nintendo "Hey, that Mario made a lot of money! So movies of these other properties are profitable too!"
Kirby did get an anime and Zelda also got a cartoon series
@@NostalgiaConnoisseur Ya but what I am saying is that Nintendo could start making more of them if this movie is successful (Like giving more of there franchises movies and TV series like how they did in the 90s)
@@NostalgiaConnoisseur There was never a Zelda cartoon, just like there was no Last Airbender movie or Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
@@matthewmuir8884 Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE me princess
@@NostalgiaConnoisseur The point of my reply was that it was a denial of those things' existence because they were terrible; I'm well aware that, unfortunately, those things I listed exist.
On one hand, Super Mario is the only Illumination movie I want to see; none of their other films peeked my attention because of the writing and visuals. I don't blame the animators, I blame the heads at Illumination.
But on the other hand, casting big name celebrities is what Illumination does for ALL it's movies. Most of the budget goes to the actors and marketing, while the animators are barely given enough to work with.
Like I said, Super Mario is a movie I want to see; but it comes with cautious interest.
Odds are Illumination will botch it up, or they'll actually step it up and give it their all. We'll just have to wait and see...
I'm not the only one who thinks Mark Hamill is fit to voice King Boo
All those questions Arlo asked had me respond "Pikachu." For gosh darn sake, Pikachu is a mouse just like Mickey.
I hope they make a new 3D Mario to coincide with the movie, Bowsers Fury was made by Nintendo of America, so its a possibility.
wait what? was Bowsers Fury made by and American team?
This just gives me Ratchet and Clank flashbacks. Please don't put movie scenes in my games.
Ngl. This could be the first movie to break 4 billion in box office sales
I’d say this will surpass Sonic and Detective Pikachu due to the fact it’s a complete CG film. Every single video game movie has been a live-action insert “these creatures live in our real world” or “this character came through a portal into our world so now they just exist with people”. To have a video game movie that’s like a multi-million dollar super long cutscene, that would open the doors to many similar video game movies.
PLEASE let the Luigi’s Mansion become a reality. I’d say 2028 - 2030, maybe!
Well, I mean, that could still be the case for this movie, we really don't know much about it, haha
Not if it's bad it won't and as someone pointed out in the comments it does have some serious competition if they keep the movie where it is. So if it's bad Mario won't just be able to coast by on guiliability.
i am so hyped to read through the millions of comments and twitter posts talking about how bad it is once it finally releases
and the memes. the memes will be legendary
and the film roasting channels. december 2022 is going to be great
Disney's ex creative director John Lasseter's mantra was always "where's the heart?" when telling a story. Through all the slap stick, the high action, the humor of the animated film, there has to be that special visceral gut punch that makes the story special. And you know what I'm talking about with Pixar movies. I can't even write about them without getting misty. It doesn't matter how well it's animated, who's voice talent it is, and how many nostalgic easter eggs that will charm the fan boys. If the story is fundamentally missing that special something, it will simply be one of those countless heartless, soulless, loud, farting, belching, celebrity voice driven drivel that with any ounce of success will lead to sequel after sequel after creatively bankrupt sequel.
PLEASE do a video about all these hypothetical spin-offs and what they could be about.
Nintendo: (*turns on profits scouter*)
It’s over 9 billion!!!!!!!!
A spin off series exclusively focusing on Luigi’s mansion would be a pretty solid idea to make I mean it’s Luigi’s main title where he is the hero. He goes from being player two to player one and all the ghosties he has to deal with would make for a very suspenseful movie
I remember watching despicable me when I was like 10 and thought it was the best movie ever. Because of that, I still love all Illumination movies, because I was basically tricked into thinking they were amazing when really they were cheap and bland
Honestly I think the first Despicable Me is actually alright. The other ones not so much though.
Megamind on the other hand?
Timeless.
@@chickennugget6684 Megamind is not an Illumination movie though, DreamWorks made masterpieces now they try to copy Illuminations strategy with movies such as Boss Baby and Trolls
@@rain7895 ok i may have gotten the companies confused.
..still timeless though.
Wait, why does that Luigi's Mansion movie sound genuinely amazing?
Charlie Day makes a perfect Luigi
The thought of Mark Hamill playing King Boo in a Luigi's Mansion movie makes me so happy!
This movie is obviously going to do well financially, so I wonder how it will impact the Super Mario brand?
Up to this point, Nintendo has kept Mario away from multi-media ventures to maintain the brand’s integrity, so this is a big change to that philosophy.
I felt myself twitch at the shot of Captain Underpants and immediately calming down when the text message "this movie good" appeared. :D
“Pwning scrubs is my thing”
- Arlo 2021
16:58 I felt that epiphany in the depths of my soul and cannot stop laughing!!!!!
16:52 I would unironically love a Toad movie XD
I'm surprised Arlo didn't talk about a possible Zelda movie when it came to series that could have enough pull like Mario does.
I don't think a Zelda movie would be a good idea; I think Zelda is a series that would be best adapted as an anime or animesque TV series. I've seen some people suggest live-action, but I don't think that would work because it would have to require so much CG that you may as well fully animate it. Plus, animation would be better for making Link expressive while keeping him a silent protagonist, since we all know what happened last time a TV show gave Link a voice...
@@matthewmuir8884 We can't rely on old stuff for how the new stuff will be, seeing as most stuff released in the past didn't have the heavy hand of Nintendo making sure stuff isn't going too far off from the brand. I think anything before the Pokemon TV started, we can assume it was a case of some studio just got the rights to make the TV show or movie, and that was mostly it, Nintendo was mostly hands off at the time.
@@miquelfire My last remark was a joke, though I do genuinely think any Zelda animation should keep Link being a silent protagonist (as well as Link being left-handed, but that's beside the point).
The irony of getting a sing 2 ad on this video is awesome
17:20 Mark Hamill is definitely King Boo.
It may or may not be an objectively good story, depending on whether or not Miyamoto can stay in his lane if regards to the actual story. Considering the main cast choices feature a ton of people who are familiar with comedy films and projects, it will be undoubtedly be a family safe film. A funny one, enjoyable probably. But nothing that will win awards. A truly incredible film from these two would require both Nintendo to let movie Mario be a distinct entity from game Mario while making sure Illumination doesn't let the star power (hur hur) of the actors and IP get to their head as a coasting slam dunk. Lazy writing makes a bad movie.
But there is part of me that wishes we get a good smattering of that ol' 90's sneaking crap past the radar innuendo. I doubt N would let M play like that, not safe enough.
I can’t wait for THE SCARENING 13, coming next Presidents Day.
I honestly really relate to Arlo’s sense of humor. One of my fav channels!
Yeah and it’s probably going to be awful considering illumination is making it
Christopher Lloyd as Professor E. Gadd would be amazing.
Even though I am an Illumination supporter in my opinion, the theories you made does make sense. I’m looking forward to this film and I hope for the best that it could be a good film. I’ll probably see a lot of advertisements to the Mario movie next year everywhere I go.
I was really hoping that he would talk about Pixar more and show how much of a amazing studio it is!
And Oh yeah Illumination can go to hell!
I think the point he makes where he said that people seek comfort in movies is true to an extend. I don't think all people want is comfort, but if you only have the budget to go to the movie theater once a year or so are you gonna choose a movie that might be really good or a complete misfire/mixed bag for you or a movie which you know you'll like, maybe not love, but really can trust it's gonna be a fun time? Yeah I thought so
11:25 nostalgia, that's why. Also remakes exist so that the IP doesn't go into the public domain
It’s rare that I go back to the beginning of the spon section, love your ads Arlo! 💙
The Mario movie will be big because it stars Chris Pratt, and he’s so cool
Now you're getting it!
OK. That moment at 17:00 REALLY got me. I do think that could be quite good but all of your spinoff ideas were golden.
Also Miyamoto values gameplay over story
He always has but that's probably irrelevant due to the fact that it's a movie and not a game so there is no need to value gameplay when there is non
The Luigis Mansion bit was hilarious! Watched it three times.
I completely forgot there was a movie in production. The most I remember after accidentally clicking on this while I watched a video on the ringing of the ear, was the fact that Jack Black is in it.
Clicked faster then those bots could say "Congratulations if you're early and found this comment!"
Same
Lmao
same lol
That moment when “Goooo Video Games!” becomes the new “Butternut Squash? Yes please!” reference
The new animated Mario movie is going to be awesome! I’m so hyped for it!
Arlo talking not only about video games but now also on movies? yes please
Never thought I'd see America's Sweetheart, Rich Evans, in an Arlo video, but here we are, and I'm loving it
This is an excellent point on why this movie is probably gonna do so so so fucking well. The casting had me absolutely rolling on the ground laughing and that was enough for me and my friends to say “we are going to see this movie” despite how bad it might be. Now that they just released a short sneak peak of what the movie is actually gonna look like visually too I’m like.. shocked by how nice it actually looks. I despise illumination and they’re whole icky way of phrasing how they make movies just leaves me with a gross feeling in my stomach. The jokes arent funny, the characters and story’s are so bland and so “safe” it’s absurd. But this is the first time since I was a little kid and saw despicable me 2 in theaters that I actually wanna go and see one of their movies which is astounding to me cause it looks like, despite how weird the concept is, this movie could actually be kinda good?? Idk!!! I’m so curious to see
"All this time we'd been wondering exactly how you can have all the Mario characters we've known and loved for decades speaking enough to carry a whole movie."
It's actually really simple: You have them say words.
Yes, but the fact that Martinet's voice is so closely tied to the characters, yet would be really hard to listen to for a whole movie, was a point of concern for many.
@@Yohoat Back in my day it was Captain Lou that we connected to the voice of Mario.
Foreman Spike is in the movie, so I'm kinda hopeful.
A Luigi's Mansion movie would be amazing! Put Jack Nicholson as King Boo and I'll lose my shit.
Ticket sales will be limited to 1,000 (scalpers only) and it will only be in a few theaters for two weekends.
I'm the kinda guy Hollywood execs love. Easily entertained, will laugh at a joke I found funny the first time over and over again regardless of how good it is, and willing to overlook animation quality dips if I like the flashy colors. I've seen Sing, Secret Life of Pets, Boss Baby and Minions, and was totally fine with them (didn't watch their sequels, I know better now). I'm 20, I'm a dumbass, and I'm gonna *love* this movie
