That is.
Maybe I can wait for a dub in another language and watch that eventually. I don't exactly have high hopes for this so eh, might just make fun of bad voices when it comes out an then completely forget it existed.

I would legitimately love if they did a Ducktales thing where he’s Charles Martinet for a few minutes until a weird device makes him talk normal for a while and then at the end he’s Charles Martinet again. Second-place hope is Pratt doing a bad Brooklyn accent.
I don’t know what the ideal outcome is here. Forcing every spin-off to make all the Toads identical is still the dumbest thing that sucks out so much character. Hopefully Peach has a bit of agency in her own rescue? Whatever. I’ll definitely end up watching at some point regardless so I’ll guess we’ll find out.
This is exactly what I'm expecting. Just give me a gruff lil' dude like from the DiC cartoons, and I'll be happy.
To some extent, I get why Nintendo would want to exert more control over what's allowed in Mario spinoffs. Just off the top of my head, TTYD had a HAL knock-off who spied on Peach in the shower and helped her create an invisibility potion that required her to be naked to be used properly.
But that said, it definitely felt like they've overcorrected that kinda thing. Like, I get if they don't want some ridiculous genocidal backstory for the guy made of paper blocks in love with a fairy or whatever, but the diversity in character designs for the Toads and other Mario series staples is certainly missed.
Anyway I came here to post this: Tragic: Nobody Can Find Mario's Ass In Our First Look At The Nintendo Movie

Well, now I will be disappointed, no matter what. Because I can't imagine the movie coming close to being as great as this idea would make it possible to be.
Wow, is this a quote? I mean, probably doesn't matter, because if not, it's probably still as bad, but...wow, that IS a bad statement.
While that is a very funny (terrible) quote, it is fortunately/unfortunately from some obscure satirical website, per Reuters:
Fact Check-Super Mario quote attributed to Chris Pratt stems from satire
A satirical, fabricated quote attributed to actor Chris Pratt about his intent to portray Nintendo character Mario in his normal voice because “Mario isn’t Italian anymore. He’s normal now,” is being taken seriously by some online.

Funny you should mention that.
From the old Mario movie thread.
Happy to be wrong about this, then!While that is a very funny (terrible) quote, it is fortunately/unfortunately from some obscure satirical website, per Reuters:

At the risk of being that guy, I don't really get the objection to Pratt as Mario from a purely an expected performance stance. I mean, he's done voices in a Pixar and the Lego Movies and he was fine to good. I'm assuming they just want sort of an everyman voice, and I expect he'll deliver a fine to good such performance.
Now, I do get it from the 'if you just needed a guy, why that one?' angle. But I expect I'm more likely to forget who's doing Mario's voice than for Pratt to make any sort of impression.

I swear that's the main reason I watch those things.
A million voices, Screaming their insane demands in silence in an audience of nobody but me.
I see you, Random weirdo spamming PUT TIFA IN SMASH.
Not nintendo, not square, not even the other people in the chat are listening to you. Your stupid demand was said to no one and ignored by everyone.
Except me.

He's kind of doing a voice but not really. Very uncontroversial.
I'm here for anything with Jack Black.
