Agreed.
Genuinely, what was wrong with just using normal Mario? It's not like they made a bunch of major changes to make him more expressive or easier to animate. Besides slight proportional changes that would've been achievable with normal Mario.
As it stands it's just unnecessary detail for the sake of having unnecessary detail. A very "Hollywood" thing to do. We can't just have normal Mario or normal Sonic or normal Pikachu. They HAVE to look "more real" even if the changes are just adding loads of flashy shit like fur and individual eyelashes that muddy up the designs and make them look worse. Hollywood will never understand that sometimes simpler is better, because normie audiences have somehow developed an expectation that a "movie version" of a character can't just look like the fucking character.

Visually speaking I have to agree with OP, movie Mario just doesn't give the same vibe as game Mario. He is less expressive, less jolly, the art here doesn't give the impression that he is going on a magical adventure in space and shit as well as the game version does.

>>151223447
Dude fuck off, Mario Galaxy is one of the most soulful games to ever grace our screens.

>>151223199 (OP)
Mario's pink lips on the right look uncanny and awful. Oh and how does a 2007 render look better graphically and have a look of higher fidelity than one now? Seriously using harsh rim-lighting in space is a no-brainer and high contrast lighting as well just works better.

>>151223199 (OP)
Why is this the 2nd movie? Super Mario World/Land would have made more sense.

>>151223991
Why would they do a second movie that is barely different in setting from the first movie?

>>151223890

Oh baby boy

>>151223959
>Oh and how does a 2007 render look better graphically and have a look of higher fidelity than one now?
The 2007 one was intentionally made to look good.

>>151223959
The picture on the right is a zoomed in shot of a photograph of a cardboard cookie box, it is not what the render looks like natively. You can tell from the washed out colors even.

>>151223447
>>151223517
>>151224111
Mind you, I never said the game itself was good. I was merely comparing the renders.

>>151223199 (OP)
Are we going to get a new SUMMER pasta for this movie?

>>151224422
It wouldn't be as funny now that we know the movie is going to be boring and nonsensical and safe instead of normal Hollywood slop.

That is better.

Why should we hate the Galaxy games?

>>151224176
>>151224202
Yeah I knew anons would say this. I mean yeah I get companies don't care as much for merch renders sometimes but I dunno, Mario's lips just look the worst to me. Like Despicable Me mouths don't belong on Mario.

>>151223890
If you're an underage soi eater, maybe

>>151226213
You're a Mario fan. You're everything you cry that other people are.

Probably related to merchandising revenue.

>>151226146
64 babs who have autisticlly played the Mario 64 to total mastery hate it for not controlling like 64 and cube babs hate it because they hate the Wii in general for abandoning the slightly more edgy and gamer focused direction of the Gamecube.

You have austism face blindness

Why are retards pretending that Galaxy wasn't a good game now? Why do you get off to being so performative? Do you need the approval of contrarian faggots on this website that badly, does it get you going or something? I don't get it.

Yes

>>151227563
The M64 fans have hated it for years now, its just that they have been getting louder and bandwagoners are hopping on.

>No Mario! You don't understand! Spaghettification is not what you think it is!
kino

he looks even fatter now.

>>151227563
It's just 64 and sunshinefags bitching as usual. Nevermind that Galaxy has far superior level design, atmoshphere, story and music.

>3 weeks later the Michael Jackson movie comes out

What's going to happen to Mario's box office?

>>151228038
In an ideal world it would bomb and Nintendo would stop wasting moneys on bad movies, but sadly you can't expect autistic millenials from not going to see it and parents with kids just want something that shuts the kids up for 90 minutes, so it has nearly guaranteed success unrelated to Michael's existence.

>>151228038
was this guy really famous enough to get his own movie?

>>151228038
>What's going to happen to Mario's box office?
Nothing. Mario made a billion before it got to Japan and S Korea in a week. It'll be fine.

>>151228038
nobody cares about some dead weirdo musician
Mario's gonna make bank

>>151228213

YES. King of Pop, bro.

Either too young or you weren't born yet to get it.

>nobody cares about some dead weirdo musician
the teaser trailer already broke the record for highest views for a musical biopic in a day with 116 million views

>>151227563
Galaxy was never good or popular, it's the definition of forced meme and shilled slop as displayed by Mario.

>>151229144
So true bro, Nintendo makes bank by pretending their game sell as everyone knows, It's a perfect plan!
I left the basement of the third world world slum at least twice in the last two decades and I've never seen any kid playing Mario, they are too busy being beheaded by drug lords and shitting on the streets, and I'm sure the rest of the world is all like this

>>151223199 (OP)
Mario needs to say "ALL TOASTERS TOAST TOAST" or I'm boycotting

I feel like this tweet best describes the issues with the Mario movie designs, they aren’t too far off from being in that generic Disneyfied/Pixar/Dreamworks style we see in every generic animated kids flik these days.

Basically, these designs are fixing what isn’t broken, and are a good example on how small changes can ruin a character design.

>>151229144
You didn't play it and the game was universally loved. You're trying too hard to be le epic 4chan contrarian

He was the most famous person to ever live, Anon. There were literally uncontacted tribes in the Amazon whose only exposure to the modern world was Michael Jackson. Everybody knew him. EVERYBODY.

>>151226402
It's unironically this. You gotta give Mario a collar shirt, splits in the cuffs of his gloves, and shoelaces so you can sell Mario movie-specific toys and merchandise without it being identical to existing products and turning away potential customers.

>>151228213

lmao

mario galaxy isn't even a zoomer game

>>151224503

you are wrong, mr. gay

>>151227563
i always liked the galaxy games. some people will just never like any 3d mario other than 64, and it's not a small number.

I actually really like the models used in the movie. That particular poster recreation is a bit weak, but in general, I really like how everyone looks.

>>151233597
I don't mind how Luigi looks but Mario is just so wrong somehow. Illumination does nothing to try to shake their reputation as the "other studios wouldn't hire me" studio.

>>151233597
i like how all the sonic characters look more in their movies compared to how mario is treated personally. if the movie designs were used in a sonic game i wouldn't care it would be fine, if the movie designs were used in a mario game i would be pissed.

>>151229492
Nigga it's all Nintendo. Why would that matter?

>>151234788
>Nigga it's all Nintendo. Why would that matter?
Because they want to make MORE money. It's more profitable to sell 2 versions of Mario than just the one. Understand?

God, even his hat and the white oval for the "M" are too round.

I fucking hate it, is there a single writer in Hollywood who knows how to write something other than the most generic Hero's Journey possible? The fucking live action movie did a better job of telling a story about Mario and Luigi getting sucked in to a mysterious other world.
