    In the early 1990’s, Mario and Luigi were all the rage. The Nintendo video game franchise had become a massive worldwide phenomenon, so it only made sense for Hollywood to try and cash in on it. The Super Mario Bros movie was the first movie based on a video game ever made, and it did not exactly inspire confidence in the genre.
    Starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper and Samantha Mathis, the movie is completely bonkers and raises a whole lot of questions. Like how did dinosaurs also evolve into humans? Why do none of the characters have anything to do with their video game counterparts? Why did they go all-in on the plumbing aspect? Why does President Koopa not just go through the portal? How did they think this would get a SEQUEL?!
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Super Mario Bros! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Seriously, he looks EXACTLY like Ryan’s cat and hugs in the EXACT same way-just lays on top of my shoulder and stays there drooling until he’s had his fill. On top of that, my cat was hugging me at the same EXACT time I watched this video. My jaw dropped when Ryan’s cat did it-I couldn’t believe the timing.

    When this movie came out, I was a typical 8-year old (or rather 9 when it came out on VHS, since I didn't watch it in the cinema), whose whole personality was basically centered around Nintendo. I cannot put into words the excitement I felt when I heard there would be a Super Mario movie. After finally getting to see it, I think this was the determining experience that prepared me for dealing with life's constant disappointments.

I went in prepared to laugh at how absurd it was.

    8:29 Since you asked, I was 6 years old, and it was my first movie experience as a kid. I kinda remember some people walking out at the sight of the Goomba transformation dragging their children along with'em, who were profusely enjoying the weirdness. My mother wasn't fazed, she generally zoned out on movies and just wanted me to have a great day. Ah, memories...

    I was SO hyped for this as a kid. Bob Hoskins was such a good fit for Mario, and I'd liked him in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so it didn't even occur to me that the movie could be bad (I was only 12). I was confused for most of it, but I remember being mad that Goombas were the exact opposite of in the game. As for the rest, it was almost too weird to react to at all, but I didn't regret seeing it.

    I actually kind of loved this movie as a late 80s kid. Had it on VHS and probably watched it at least a few dozen times. In many ways I might even call it unironically good. The soundtrack/score is great, many of the action set pieces are well done, many of the special effects hold up surprisingly well, the zany world building is interesting, Dennis Hopper hamming it up is a treat, etc. I was actually really surprised when I grew up and learned just how much vitriol and hate other people have for it.
    Now I had basically zero attachment to the source material (I was absolutely horrendous at platformers, and didn't own any video game consoles anyway so I only played computer games - meaning my only engagement with Mario in the early-mid 90s was the TV show/cartoon with Lou Albano). So I'm sure that played a part for me not being disappointed. But I do think if many of the haters would try to let go of that and treat it as its own thing rather than an adaptation^, they might actually enjoy it for itself.
    ^The complaints about it diverging so much from the source material instead of "faithfully" following the story of the games ring pretty hollow for me. When so many of the core story elements are already nonsensical/insane to begin with (a jumping, shapeshifting plumber battles various creatures in a land full of mushroom people) and most of those earlier games had very little actual story/plot to them (the plumber wants to rescue a princess kidnapped by a weird turtle/dinosaur/dragon monster - that's basically the entire story right there).

Recently (the last half a year or so) I was watching some of your "first guy who ever". series and it starts off so simply, and goes pretty deep. Encapsulated within each episode, and also across them all. Also, recently (same time frame) discovered your time traveller series. And that stuff is also hilarious and horifying in a deeply funny way that helps absorb the events of the "recent" past from a detached standpoint that leaves me laughing and shaking my head.
