Looking at the release date, the delay makes sense

Early April of next year seems pretty barren when it comes to notable releases, with little to no real competition box office wise

Meanwhile it's initial Dec '22 release would've had it the week after Avatar 2

Let’s be real though, Avatar 2 probably isn’t going to do as well as they want it to.

Universal is just embarrassing themselves if they think the Mario movie is gonna be as good as the Sonic films were.

They're leaving it in the hands of Illumination, the same company behind Minions.

Damn it...

So I now say it won't be shown/teased at CinemaCon this week.

Somehow I'm not surprised considering we have not seen any form of advertising since the cast reveal.
Still funny the Mario movie will be released exactly a year after Sonic 2.

They should've went with DreamWorks Animation instead of Illumination. Then again they could always get them to do a Kirby or Splatoon adaption, the latter especially feels like it'd work as a DreamWorks film given its artstyle.

Unless they end up delaying it agian.

I can't just see Jack Black doing a deep gruff voice.

They should've went with someone who could.

Such a cast feels so out of place. Chris Pratt I can at least see doing a decent Brooklyn accent for Mario.
I don't feel Bowser necessarily needs a gruff voice. I feel for an Illumination movie, Jack Black could actually work out as a more comedic Bowser pretty well.

Super hot take, the animation fandom weirdly overhates on Illumination big time.

They've made some solid films (The entire Despicable Me trilogy is solid, and I actually liked Sing) And most of their lower stuff is still 5/10-6/10 material.

I like to assume people are just sick of Facebook moms spamming minion memes, so they need to vent their frustration somewhere

When I look at Bowser and the way he sounds and how he especially talked at the end of Super Mario Sunshine, a gruff deep voice is exactly how I'd picture him talking like.

The Despicable Me films are genuinely good films for some reason. I've rewatched Despicable Me and Despicable Me 3 a couple times (I had nothing better to do and they weren't showing anything better) and it's been enjoyable each time.

Before all this I was collecting potential rumors of the movie but not read them to avoid spoilers.

Now that I have almost a year to waste, might as well read them now.

Honeatly, one of my biggest issues with the animation community is that just can't let things go. In the example of Illumination, yeah Minions was mid but... it was also 7 years ago, Illumination has made better films. Please, let it go.

There's also the issue of realizing that some movies are just not made for them. When minions came out, I was a little too old for it, I hated it, despised it, but I remember a couple years later I was at a family friends place and her kids+their friends (all a bit younger than I am), loved it and talked about it. And it hit me: it wasn't made for me, so I should let it go. Sometimes, things are just for kids and that's ok.


Now how it gained a massive Facebook following is beyond me.

TBH I kinda thought in the back of my mind this was possible.

The dead silence was getting really weird for how late we already are into the year.

Placing my bets Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be delayed.

That whole film is just a total production mess to begin with.

Which all could've been avoided if they just recast Chadwick Boseman.

Jack Black is still the oddest choice to cast for Bowser.
As a counterpoint: Helen Mirren.

(Jack Black's definitely got the comedic chops, especially if Bowser's handled similarly to how he's written in Paper Mario, and his voice seems deep enough.)
