Ah but you see, Chris mentioned Koopas and not Goombas because he was specifically talking about starting out playing the original "Mario Bros.", which doesn't have Goombas. And, seeing as Koopas were technically called "Shellcreepers" in that game, he had to catch himself so as not to give the more obscure name, and he replaced it with the more widely recognized name "Koopa", hence the pause. Clearly, he's a more hardcore Mario fan than we give him credit for!
@RomHackerPlus "Stomp" doesn't necessarily entail jumping. You can run in from the side and step on the downed enemy, and that's a stomp. Plus, you _can_ jump on them in that game if you want to. It just gives you the option of attacking them from the sides or from above.
After this, they should do a Luigi's Mansion movie! But seriously though, I think this movie has a lot of potential. Also, I'd have liked to see Peach in the trailer. Can't wish for everything I guess!
Chris Pratt’s comment actually isn’t wrong, he said the original Mario arcade game, which in that game Mario had to stomp on koopas to clear them from the stage, once removing them all from the screen, the next level would commence
I like that they don’t just cut it out, shows him buffering (as may calls it) through he’s childhood memories. Correcting himself rather than someone else corrected him after saying something wrong. Some people will just blurt it out even though it’s wrong and act like nothing’s wrong.
I hope they just fire him and call Charles Martinet for the job. It might be cruel, but it’ll help the film. And for the singing parts, maybe he has a secret voice.
If option 1: it's going to be like Ryan Renalds as detective Pikachu If option 2: it going to be like THAT Pinocchio movie, you know the one with "father when can live on my owwwn?"
I’ve read on Super Mario Wiki those were actually Bumpties (a different but related species), called penguins in the English versions of the Paper Mario games.
makes sense too since he said Bowsers fire isn't normally that powerful here he is at an ice castle, of course it's gonna demolish it like that and melt it down to the ground, it's to show some sort of power that he has. if he did that to any other castle it would only charred it and maybe break some things off. I believe them picking that castle specifically as you notice, fire and ice, is to show how powerful in a sense and intimidating bowser is for the younger audience getting into the series.
To be fair, Chris Pratt specifically said the original Mario Bros ARCADE Game. So him saying Koopas instead of Goombas is technically more accurate. My speculation for the pause was that he was gonna say Goombas but realized that in the Arcade game it’s koopas.
He's still wrong. Not only do you not stomp on Koopas (you jump under the spot they're standing and then you kick 'em), they're not even Koopas. The turtles in Mario Bros. Arcade are called Shellcreepers.
In the original Mario Bros Arcade game there were no goombas. Even koops briefly appear. Most of the enemies are spinies or crabs. Hence why he had to say koopa- that's the most recognizable enemy from the game
I’m going to make a wild guess and say that I think that Luigi accidentally fell into the pipe while (maybe) arguing with Mario and Mario went in after him, but they still got separated. That’s why we don’t see them together in the trailer, and why we see Mario in the mushroom kingdom with toad and Luigi struggling to run away with no help.
One of the concerning things for me, which is just a general concern for most big animated movies. The main cast is a bunch of famous actors not voice actors, the jobs are different. and some people can do both but you can’t just assume actors can voice act
Know that God exists. Know that He loves His creation. If you follow the Bible you will know that most all of the 1,800 prophecies has come to pass. Once the final few happen Jesus Christ will return. Jesus say, "But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?" So, believe in our Lord
"Why does everyone feel obigated to change away from the cartoony ascetic that works?" The Mario games have you play as a iltalian plummer saving a princess from a fire-breathing turtle dragon while stomping on smaller turtles in a world of sentient mushrooms, the cartoony-ness is very much inbeded into it
I’m personally super excited for this movie. The graphics look amazing, I’m glad it’s going to be comical, and I was excited for most of the casting! That said: I will say that I agree that Chris Pratt maybe didn’t meet the fans’ expectations, but to his defense, we only heard like one full line in that trailer. Maybe that was a bum line and his others are actually really good! As far as the design of the characters, I thought they all looked great! I’m not upset they aren’t carbon copies of the games because Illumination obviously has their own artistic value to bring to the animation. I’m hoping the movie turns out great and that the gamers will be kind to all who are involved in bringing Mario to life! They didn’t have to do that in the first place ;3
I have some personal predictions: i think Mario's OG voice actor will likely cameo, potentially as "Jumper Man" or as Mario's father. I get the feeling more than likely, Luigi is gonna be probably sucked into the pipe before mario does, And mario is going to be trying to find him. Im sure everyone has their own theories though
I agree with MatPat that it should have been the iconic "here we go!". Could even add some comedy by making Mario slip off a mushroom while saying the line to give it the iconic high pitched "go!" With Mario doing the "I'm ok" afterwards
I don't really mind it mainly because I think they changed it to avoid accusations that it's a racist stereotype though i definitely would have preferred the old accent
Heya kids, I'm Mario, and if you're not watching the Super Mario Brother's Super Show, you're gonna turn into a Goomba! Legit that is the voice, lmao. Fitting though, Mario does feel like he'd be from, idk, one of those New England states or NYC. I mean, the accent is meant to be an exaggerated Italian American Accent, I do believe.
chris pratt is right on the "stomping koopas on the original arcade game" because in the original mario bros there wasn't goombas, the first enemie you saw were koopas
It looks great, and I was wondering as well if anyone happened to notice the odd scenario where Mario is supposed to scream but nothing, so this just tells me that yeah they just used audio of Chris probably practicing or just giving gentle read backs of the script. Mario's proportions seem to be off to me, like they need to adjust his eyes to be like luigi's like they could be a bit bigger or something, I'm not sure it's just Mario's proportions seem odd, and not to mention THEIR GLOVES, they are missing their iconic 2 bumps! It's super strange to just seeing their gloves not having the little numbs
The penguins were a perfect pull, both for humoring the kids and for hitting the older audience with 64 nostalgia. Also there were penguins in Mario Galaxy 2.
not only that I like to think because it's an ice castle and matpat saying "his fire isn't normally that powerful" it would be on ice so it's to also show the newer generation of mario fans how powerful bowser can be. If he did that to any other castle maybe a tower would fall but just badly burnt. Not fall apart into pieces. And the lighting is stunning with it too showing the raw power he has
I mean, I think an amazing fit for Mario would be Prozd, he's a great TRvidr and fantastic Voice Actor if you don't already know him Nintendo really missed with that one
For Mario's voice, I have always thought it would be like how it was in The Super Mario bros. Super show. It'll definitely take some getting used to. But we will see how it goes.
When I heard Bowser was actually gonna sing I was like “I have to hear what Mat had to say about this!!” Also his reaction to the Chris Pratt stuff is hilarious
Man the last line where Jack goes “you make me laugh” at comic con was amazing. It was deep, guttural and intense. Can’t wait to hear bowsers “serious” voice. 🎉 I am sure that bowser, donkey Kong, Luigi and toad are gonna be the best characters. Man, Jack always strives for 110% in every character he plays.
And he wouldn't have done it because he's Chris Pratt in literally every movie he's in. It isn't Emmet, it's Chris Pratt. It isn't Owen the velociraptor trainer, it's Chris Pratt. It's not Starlord, it's Chris Pratt. And it's disappointing.
I know where they're going with the "Here We Come!" line of Chris Pratt's Mario. Mario will evolve more into the Mario we know as he travels throughout the movie. The trademark "Here We Go!" will be used as a PUNCHLINE at a key part of the movie. He will get it wrong consistently until he gets to the climax of the movie. The Mushroom Kingdom will change him.
11:05 I think Chris was _going_ to say “goombas” but then remembered that the _Mario Bros_ arcade game has no goombas, only Koopa Troopas (a.k.a. “Shellcreepers”), Sidesteppers, Fighter Flies, and Freezies (a.k.a. “Slipices”). Goombas first appeared in _Super Mario Bros_ for the Famicom/NES.
maybe Chris paused because he was going to say Goombas until he remembered that the trailer only showcases Koopas and that Bowser showing up in the Mushroom Kingdom and turning the Toads into Goombas is supposed to be a shocking scene. So he didn't want to mention them before the movie came out? Plus, like everyone else is saying, only Koopas appeared in the arcade game he's referencing.
Let me be clear when I say that this is the only channel that has gotten me to laugh out loud in a long time. Love u GTLive, keep up the amazing content!
while my first interpretation of the stomping, Koopas line was that he forgot the words, id like to believe that he was having a sort of PTSD moment there because of the trauma and hatred he has for Koopas.
Toads personality reminds me of how he use to act in the Mario show he was really snarky and just was an actual character in it that didn’t always stay to defend princess peach and got to use the power ups too and I just love it
@Jerry Loveless Fun fact: when the Mario theme kicks in during the cut between Bowser and Mario, it sounds like they sampled the Super Show version of the Mario Theme.
Honestly I think the issue with the Chris Pratt version of the Mario voice is the fact that Mario's voice has essentially become his personality. Since we don't have much to latch onto for Mario's personality, most people have come to know him by his voice rather than who he is. And when you have a character that is really known by very few but specific things you should at least try and make sure you get those things correct if not very close (especially when they are the main character), because without those the character really doesn't feel like Mario.
When I heard Bowser was actually gonna sing I was like “I have to hear what Mat had to say about this!!” Also his reaction to the Chris Pratt stuff is hilarious
I actually like Chris Pratt as Mario 🤷🏼 like you said he’s a blank slate.. not all characters have to sound the same in all forms of media 🤷🏼 maybe it’s a hot take but I’m gonna wait for the movie to come out before I judge 😂
Goombas weren't in the original Mario Bros arcade game. It was just crabs and Koopas, so it makes sense for Chris to not say Goombas, though I agree it did feel like it took him a while to remember what the turtles were called.
Thing is, apparently in the original Mario Bros game you couldn't stomp the Koopas. If you tried to, you'd die. So I don't know where he got all that from, but it clearly wasn't his memory.
@Evan Humphreys / Icy Auron yeah, I love matpat, but like it only was awkward because he kept harping on it for several minutes. Give him a break, maybe he was caught off guard when they asked him to film it.
When I first heard the people who created Teen Titans Go were directing this movie I was absolutely flabbergasted after watching the trailer.. like how the heck did they manage this?
i dont know if youve heard but the show does have some standout episodes, along with the TTG movie which was actually well recieved. basically, if they have the incentive, they can make pretty good stuff.
Not me over here just wreathing over the line itself being "Here we come!" Instead of "Here we go!" Which is so iconic that Mat even reading it as 'go' when quoting the trailer line
Just think of Mario's voice like Mickey Mouse's voice. Mickey's voice has range, and he has versions toned down; the same is easily done for Mario. There's a lot of fan voices of Mario that's a more normal tone but it's still "Mario".
I feel Christ Pratt should sing the whole song "Do the Mario" from back in the day, as a punishement for such a bad interview...we were not ready for such a bad take.
You know what, I think, the more we listen to Chris' line, the more we'll begin to tolerate it LMAO It didn't sound as bad the second time, in all honesty.
Only variation I might think could be this being the start and then on the journey with toad he talks about his past and there's flashbacks to his life before
I have faith that the movie will be good, and personally I think for the most part Chris did a good job with the voice acting. He could have been a little bit more enthusiastic but all in all I think it's good for now.
24:26 "He... he looks like Kirkland Brand Mario." LOL Bravo, Matpat. I think you nailed it, but it's not a bad design, IMO--however! Yes, I agree that there's no reason for movie devs to change him and "seem so scared to lean in to the cartoony nature" of the original 3D aesthetics.
If Pratt was talking about the Mario Bros. arcade cabinet, it's possible that he was trying to recall the enemies from the Mario Bros. game rather than the Super Mario Bros. game.
Hey guys. Know that God exists. Know that He loves His creation. If you follow the Bible you will know that most all of the 1,800 prophecies has come to pass. Once the final few happen Jesus Christ will return. Jesus say, "But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?"
@Sboink The Leg Day You had a point at first, but that last part of your comment just seems needlessly rude. This is all speculation from a a short clip, why get so heated over it man?
I got the vibes that he was thinking in his head “God don’t say goomba… don’t mispronounce this… man I better not screw this up” and he ended up windows erroring
Mario's personality is that he is mostly a no nonsense heroic kind of guy. You see this throughout all the media. Mario is usually written this way in various media including games. Luigi is mostly the funny sidekick and the reluctant hero. You see this best in the Mario & Luigi games and Luigi's Mansion 3 where he doesn't miss a beat when it comes to jumping into action.
I heard Charlie Day make a Luigi noise and I already know he's probably the best voice acting choice. I gotta hear Charlie just let out some hilarious screams for Luigi.
Remembering all the times he raised his voice and started borderline screaming in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I just KNEW he was going to be perfect for Luigi. Not disappointed yet.
I honestly love him for luigi in the teaser, it just works, my only issue is that at leazt in that short clip there was no hint of newyork/italian like with marios voice, which wouldn’t make sense being brothers and all, but even so stand alone the voice is just *so luigi*
In my own personal opinion, I actually really like Chris Pratt's Mario, as I've never imagined Mario to always have that "YIPEE!" voice, but more of a laid-back one, especially when you take into consideration that he most likely came from New York or a New York-inspired city.
I remember seeing the live action in theaters. Never thought it was as bad as everyone said. I can't wait to take my kiddo to see this. Other than Pratt I think it will probably be pretty good.
To be fair, I've played almost every Mario game out there and I still have to think about what Koopas were called lol I just thought they were turtle people lol
I think Mario's voice is fine! We barely hear enough to judge it in the first lace, but I reckon they're going for a mix of his Italian origins with the New York/New Donk accent. Also yeah, bear in mind when you judge the accent that it is a fictional world, with fictional places, fictional languages and therefore fictional accents. Bowser is obviously amazing as is Luigi, and Toad. I personally don't really see the problem with Mario here, and I am now hyped for a movie when I've got at least 6 months to wait!
Everything looks beautiful. Mario has just two lines, for everyone on the internet that is upset with Mario, it is better than the live action Mario. It did some nods to the game, but it was a let down. So I'm ready to go see it
I think Matt's idea of what these characters should sound like might ruin the movie for him, its for enjoyment and to see our Mario gang on the big screen! Most (if not all) of these characters have never had voices or arcs before!! This movie is going to be give our beloved characters their voices in their playful worlds we know and love. None of these characters should have set voices or accents like we have here in real life. Theyre not from NYC, Italy, Scotland, ect. The most Mario's really ever said was his name, grunts, yells, laughs, and other small expressions. Giving him a set accent wouldnt do him justice, it would contain his character and the artist approach on finding Mario his voice. It would be like if we all decided what Hylians should sound like and immediately assuming that Link would speak that way, too. I think this movie with this superstar cast and production team is going to ace this one
if they made mario less wide, made his accent slightly heavier like a New York Italian accent with a slightly higher pitched voice, I'd have no issues with him
I'm not sure I need a higher pitched voice, but I definitely need to hear a voice that's less like Chris Pratt. Not saying recasting Chris Pratt, but less just him doing quarter of an accent.
To be fair, to my knowledge there were no Goombas in the original Mario Bros. arcade game. The Koopas in it WERE called turtles back then I think but after decades of calling them koopas that's a mistake that's excusable.
@Yami 🖤 pause could just as well have been to pre edit what he wanted to say so he didn't violate NDA. I've done that kind of self editing on the fly...
I think the voice of mario on this is quite similar to the show they made seeing its a lot less Its-A Me A-Mario and a lot more of a new york/Brooklyn sound
I think the fact we hear Chris Prat say the "Here we come" line without seeing mario's face doesn't help. If we had seen his face I think it would seem to work a bit better. I also think (/hope) that line was just a poor chose for the trailer, and his voice is better fitting in the rest of the movie
If I’m not mistaken, bowsers personality seems to be mostly based on Mario & Luigi’s Bowsers Inside Story and I love it because he was this menacing and joking type of king
I think it’s quite fitting that all the non-interactive _Mario_ releases (the 1989 _Super Show,_ the other two TV series, the questionable live-action movie from 1993, and now this) give the Brothers a NY accent while the games (excepting _Hotel Mario_ for the Philips CD-I) give them an Italian Accent with Charles Martinet as the VA.
You know that feeling where you see something good, but it also looks like it might be painful, but it might just end up being PAINFULLY average, to the point you might not talk about it more then once? That's the kind of vibe this movie is giving me based on this trailer. Excited for bowser, in pain listening to mario.
I actually like Mario’s voice better, Bowser’s feels more weird to me. Neither seem like the right casting option though, but I feel its passable. The animation looked great to me, didn’t notice the changes to Mario’s design that much. Also felt very similarly about Chris’s interview.
“Mushroom kingdom here we come”…. Chris Pratt doesn’t have bad voice. It just doesn’t fit. Mario is supposed to be energic. 😞 I do like every other voice yet. Bowser is insane. Toad sounds great. Mario just need a bit more energy in his voice and I think it could be great.
