You know what’s worse than a bad movie? When a potentially good movie has a main character that is not loved by the fans. That appears to be the case in the recent trailer for the Super Mario Bros movie since everyone was so excited about it…until Mario showed up. Oh!
In a now-deleted tweet by Twitter user @rustypolished, they claimed that during the Nintendo Direct live stream at New York Comic-Con, everyone cheered when Bowser and Luigi showed up. But unfortunately, Mario received silence from the audience. The user deleted the tweet when he noticed his post became popular.
In case people have any doubts about the now-deleted post, assuming it may be fake, the videos during the trailer premiere were able to back up the claim. These videos made it clear that people at New York Comic Con were excited for every other character except Mario. Mamma mia, imagine that the audience is not enthusiastic about the main star of your movie.
It could be assumed that people wanted to pay close attention to the voice of the famous red plumber. But when the rest of social media started calling Chris Pratt’s performance as Mario ‘average’, you know there’s a problem. Either that or people still wish Mario’s actual voice actor, Charles Martinet, was used.
It seems that fans are not yet eager to hear the voice of Pratt, the iconic character of the video game. Despite that, fans agreed that the other voice actors, like Jack Black, did an amazing job in their roles. But maybe it will get better once the movie is released on April 7, 2023, as we’ll see more of Mario and his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom.
