I want to see a live action Banjo Kazooie movie. Cast Dave Bautista as Banjo and Sarah Silverman as Kazooie

I'm not familiar with the games, is Kazooie often tortured and murdered in the most abhorrent manner imagined? Because that's the only way I'm on board with your casting choices.

Yeah Bowser's voice was pretty lackluster in contrast to the penguin king (who presumably is in the movie for all of 3 minutes), which is disappointing. Does look fun though.

Why did they out out a trailer with a temporary voiceover for mario just reading his lines?

I bet they could bring Martinet in for half a day to redo the whole thing and still have time for a splatoon crossover dlc.

Thought Jack Black sounded ok as Bowser, Pratt sounded like Pratt (more like Mario is playing Chris Pratt). Beyond that the animation looks great, I would expect a ton of easter eggs from all the games. I also realize that for the most part I'm not the target audience for this and I'm ok with that.

why doesnt Mario have a Mario accent anymore? since when is anyone afraid of offending italians? Italians really do speak a the english like a that.

Italians don't have to be offended, some blue hair will be on their behalf

I don't think it was for any woke reason, I think they just wanted a name and Pratt was great in the Lego movie.

Like I said before, I don't mind it. I wouldn't want to listen to a high pitched exaggerated Italian accent for two hours. Kids will love it, it'll make millions and it looks alright otherwise.

I get why some may not be a fan though.

If you can play Mario and listen to the comically Italian wahoos and shit for 2+ hours I'm not sure why it'd suddenly not work for a kid's movie.

IS this a bad time to tell you I never play games with sound on and listen to music instead?

I don't need an exaggerated italian accent for it to be Mario, but I don't want to listen to Pratt just voicing Emmett again.

Appropriate time as any. I'd hazard a guess that most kids playing Mario games don't fall in that camp though.
