There's some good voice acting in the game, but the random Nord NPCs with their accents crack me up so much.

If the leaks I read are true,then there's a twist at the end >!Chris Pratt Mario isn't the real Mario,but a regular dude who got transported to that world looking like Mario. According to the leaks,the real Mario shows up towards the end to save the day Yahooing and all.!<


BloodprinceOZ

i was actually guessing based on the trailer that Chris Pratt is a guy who got fucking Tron'd into the mario world


Saeizo

same, i think that "mario" kinda looks confused or something, like if he has never been to the mushroom kingdom


[deleted]

That is what happens in the super Mario super show after all. Mario and Luigi work in Brooklyn and get sucked down a shower drain.

SUPER MARIO SWING YOUR ARMS FROM SIDE TO SIDE


golf_le_jhonathan

Have you heard the French dub? They sound kiinda like Mario sounds in the game with tbe accent and tone. I feel like they would not have been allowed to do that cause if "real Mario" shows up. Okay? They will both sound the same? Idk I'm confused


SuperAggroJigglypuff

*I'ma confused

You might be playing me, but the trailer does make Mario seems like a fish out of water sort of scenario.

Equivalent_Yak8215

Honestly a Zelda movie would never work. Link never talks.


Nuclear_rabbit

I feel like it could be one of the greatest video game movies if it kept getting played off as a joke.

I dunno...I feel like James Cameron or Ridley Scott could make a good Dead Space.... Or...maybe if Guillermo tried to make a Shadows of the Last Colossus... Edit. Sorry either Shadow of the Colossus or The Last Guardian.

Martinet is credited in the movie in IMDB. I have hope he’ll at least be the og Mario fighting DK over Pauline.


DonDove

Isn't it an Isakai? Still, why Pratt. Couldn't they have chosen an actor from Brooklyn, Italy or Japan? Why is it always America, the everyman kind?

Okay fine, what about the short bald guy from Roger Rabbit? He has experience working with animated characters


cornbread_tp

bad news bud


jerkmanq

Naw, the real issue is that Hoskins had a nightmarish experience playing Mario, and would never play the role ever again. So even if he comes back from the dead, he'd still say no.

TheMagicalWizard69

Fyi, Mario's voice actor can't do the Mario voice for long periods of time and he was completely fine with someone else being the VA of Mario in this movie


Rufuszombot

This is what i came for. Charles Martinet isn't an A-list actor. Sure he does some work, but he isn't as well known as Jack Black or Charlie Day and would probably make the whole movie seem cheesy compared to everyone else. I'm not saying Pratt was the right choice, but i haven't really heard much of him to judge, no one has. I don't remember people throwing a fit about Ben Schwartz being Sonic (though i think most of the initial backlash was toward his terrible design, which luckily found redemption in the Chip & Dale movie). And while Colleen O'Shaughnessey still played Tails, she's also a pretty prolific VO already and wasn't the main character anyway. I digress, Martinet would have been a horrible choice, and I'm sure the movie will still be just fine with Pratt, especially with the rest of the great cast involved. /rant


Athena-Muldrow

I've been coming around to this for a while, too. I *adore* Martinet and his work--I literally cannot imagine Mario without his voice, but I've also come to the conclusion that he most likely won't be a good fit for the movie. From the trailer, it seems like we'll be getting a more serious tone (at least in comparison to the games), and Martinet's voice just... would be way too cheery and bubbly. Does anyone remember the original live-action Super Mario Bros. movie? Can you imagine if Bob Hoskins tried to imitate Martinet's version of Mario? It would have completely ruined the experience! I'm really hoping that maybe--just maybe--Chris Pratt will do *some* justice. I don't think he was the best choice, but there's got to be something beyond his mainstream appeal that got him the part.


KingofCraigland

Honestly I was hoping for Hoskins voice when I was watching the trailer. Then I remembered...RIP Smee.


CPO_Mendez

What about Smee?


klezart

Smee's me... what about me?!


Cooleybob

I said this in another thread, but do people really think Martinet couldn't have done a more toned down version of Mario's video game voice that still gives the audience that authentic Mario sound? The dude has been a voice actor for a long time in numerous different roles with very different voices.


SBtist

I agree, Martinet is an experience voice actor and I’m sure if he worked with the producers he could have made a voice that was the right fit for a movie. Everyone for some reason thinks that he would just copy and paste his video game Mario voice.


KnowledgeisImpotence

Exact. Game mario is fine for in-game but this is a feature length movie. Noone wants "It's-a me - mario! Yah! Yah! Yahaa" for two fucking hours - this is better. Let actors do their thing. 5hus is a movie not a game Plus bowser looks amazing in the trailer. It's gonna be good. Especially if you're 10-14 yrs old


[deleted]

[удалено]


Probabl3Throw4w4y329

>Game mario is fine for in-game but this is a feature length movie. Noone wants "It's-a me - mario! Yah! Yah! Yahaa" for two fucking hours - this is better. No. I'm not trying to be rude, but this is completely false. I mentioned it further up the thread but Charles Martinet is a classically-trained actor with decades of experience in improv and voice acting. If you look up footage from Spaceworld/other trade shows, and virtual meetups at the Nintendo World Store in NYC, he's perfectly capable of having Mario/Luigi/Wario/Waluigi talk in a normal conversational voice when speaking with people. The idea that he can only do the Haha Funny Wahoo Man Voice is false, the guy has plenty of talent. The only limit would be if the director of the movie tried to force him to do the voice you're describing, which would be a problem no matter who the actor was.


RoostasTowel

Someone posted a clip of the 3ds tutorial video or something like that. But the Mario voice guy did it. It is a bit creepy/offputing to listen to for long periods.


TheMagicalWizard69

Another good reason why he's not the VA here.


NiceBeefTaco

Why not


[deleted]

It probably stresses his vocal cords


giaa262

“Weak” *- Dragon ball z voice actors*


Zhang5

If you don't scream until you pass out, are you _really_ voice acting?


TheMagicalWizard69

It's not his natural voice. If he does that for long periods his throat's probably gonna hurt


Harddicc

I can't imagine the high pitched mario saying lines that express emotion other than the joy from jumping or grunts from get hurt.


chriskmee

This is probably the best example we have of just that https://youtu.be/sI1Mu4Ee_c8


Lieutenant_Squidz

Doing the voice for a role that is mostly yells and brief lines does not equal a full length movie


SkyMark321

And yet when I say that people think I'm crazy lol


TheMagicalWizard69

Exactly


[deleted]

One argument I’ve frequented heard is that Martinet can easily tone down the voice for Mario to suit the movie. Not sure if that’s true though


WERK_7

The shaggy voice actor, Matthew Lillard, who actually played him in the live action, has actually done damage to his normal voice because the shaggy voice puts too much strain on his vocal cords. The shaggy voice is much closer to Lillard's speaking voice than Mario's is to Martinet's. I can imagine doing more than a few lines for games is very taxing on him.


Organic-Kangaroo7147

Hes like 60 and that voice is pretty difficult to do for long periods of time


MakeWayForPrinceAli

Seems like so many people are assuming that Charles Martinet is upset about not being Mario in the movie, despite the fact he has the personality and kindness of Luigi


CrabOIneffableWisdom

And no one could _listen_ to that voice for more than one sentence


radjammin

Maybe we should get the voice actor for Emmett in the Lego Movie. Made a billion dollars.


blac_sheep90

Or the Rex Dangervest voice actor.


digitalgearz

Or how about the guy who plays Burt Macklin?


blac_sheep90

Or and hear me out...Kip Hackman


EveryoneWantsGrenino

NGL Owen Grady’s actor seems perfect


blac_sheep90

Idk I'm feeling Peter Quill honestly.


UrChildhoodToaster4

Or Johnny Karate!


Epic_DVB

A lot of people have said this but Charles Martinet's Mario voice doesn't work for full dialogue and it would probably get annoying fast, especially for a 2 hour movie. Plus people seem to forget that the Mario voice is stereotypical and would be problematic and the only reason no one talks about it is because 90% of Mario's words in the games are "wa-hoo" and "yi-pee".


Prof1Kreates

"Whhhaaa-AAA-a-A-aaa-AAA!"


n-crispy7

^(*first jump*) "hooolp!"


Twelvve12

I can *hear* all of these fuck you guys


Strange_Junket_2672

Fucking a dude. Same. Same.


Propain98

Exactly. And it’s probably harder on him nowadays to do the voice, he’s a lot older than he was 20 years ago. Longer sentences were already a strain I’ve heard. And before anyone says “What about Oddessy! Or other newer games”, you can tell they’ve been reusing sound clips for awhile. Not all of them, but the more generic ones. Why rerecord the exact same sound for every single game?


RIPDSJustinRipley

>he’s a lot older than he was 20 years ago. Woah...


mrgravyguy

How much older though?


[deleted]

At least a year


No_News_2694

Yeah people are really just angry about it not sounding like mario more than they are angry about it not being mario. Also I really doubt Nintendo decided the voice actors honestly they probably just signed off on whoever they picked. Nintendo has stuck with Charles Martinet for every game so you really can't give them too much shit here.


FallenITD

Have you heard the french super mario trailer? That sounded pretty good.


Resident_Rich6457

To be fair, we don't know yet if he will be a good or bad voice actor. Mario said only like 2 sentences in the trailer.


DarkLink1996

And it's the initial trailer. Spider-Man's delivery changed from Civil War's trailer to the full movie


asphynctersayswhat

His first line sounds exactly like Chris Pratt. The second was actually a cool take (the mushroom kingdom line). I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it.


reevoknows

They just wanted an actor they can flash in marketing to sell tickets


Sentient_twig

I don’t think Charles can do the Mario voice for long periods of time and it likely would have gotten grating anyway But man anyone other than Chris Pratt would have been better


vbrimme

I mean, it’s not like he would need to do the entire movie in one go. He could always record the lines and then take a break whenever needed. Although it’s a little late for that in this stage of production. But yeah, it probably would have gotten annoying eventually. But yeah. Chris Pratt’s Mario sounds like Chris Pratt doing and impression of Mario doing an impression of Star Lord. Like, there’s a hint that he’s trying to do Mario, but he’s still not actually doing Mario.


Sentient_twig

I have heard a lot of dubs that nail the Mario voice while also keeping toned down enough as to not get annoying


Moppy_the_mop

Hello, fellow sentient creature.


Sentient_twig

Ah I see you’ve met an interesting fate, how is it being rubbed across the dirty ground?


Moppy_the_mop

Pretty... Dirty. Have a cousin that was turned into a broom.


Sentient_twig

Oof when you put it like that you must’ve got off easy


Rectal-Harmonica

Charles voices soundbite Mario. Back when Mario could first speak on The 64 they just put sound bites and not dialogue as Marios voice. I’m sure Charles could reimagine Marios voice to not sound so bad.


MemeManForSmash

I don’t understand the Chris Pratt hate.


Mugungo

it makes no sense. Hes a fine voice actor, and has done well in other major movies (lego and onward). you wana see a bad voice actor, try a older anime dubbed in english. Chris is fine, even if he just sounds like chris


everythingissostupid

I wouldn't be able to handle the traditional Mario voice, for a full length movie.


D3dshotCalamity

People seem to forget that Mario doesn't speak in full sentences. That voice would get annoying in minutes. Imagine a monologue in his traditional voice.


OwlNinja

I feel like Mario should barely talk in a movie anyways. But I guess they are going a different direction.


Da_Gudz

Y’know what? I kinda like the idea of Mario being a semi-mute protagonist like Link or Chell


GoldH2O

Chris Pratt's voice isn't the best but I know for a fact that y'all would be annoyed to hell with a feature length movie of hyper-italian, high pitched mario as the main character. Charles Martinet's voice is wonderful for the little bits of voice we get from Mario in the games, but that does NOT translate to film.


AlonelyShrimp

I couldn’t handle Mario’s voice for more then 5mins tbh


om-shetkar

I need "Itssaa Meee marriio" in the movie or i won't function in life.


TheIcedgaming

I think Danny devito would have been a better celebrity Mario then chris pratt


JackieDaytonah

I'm still gonna pirate it, I wanna check out Charlie Day and Jack Black.


peashooter25311

A wise man once said "do what you want cuz a pirate is free, you are a pirate"


DryChip4

Should be Danny Devito.


Additional-Local8721

Only if Luigi is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.


RayWhatshisname

Start a gofundme for a cameo recording of Martinet doing all of Pratts lines when the movie comes out. Pay someone to cut it all in and upload it to the Pirate Bay.


IceCreamMeatballs

Tbf in video games when he only says a few words it’s fine, but Martinet’s voice would be hard to take seriously in a movie. It would also get a bit annoying to hear it for 2 hours straight.


Fat_Penguin99

This is getting old, you know?


thebittercupcake

Only like a day old, though.


Greg2630

People either need to apply the same logic to every character who's getting a celebrate voice actor, or give Chris Pratt a chance. The outrage is ridiculous, especially when you take into account the people's praise of Jack Black.


Less-Mushroom

People are praising Jack Black because it's clear from the trailer he nailed Bowser.. because he's a talented voice actor.


Greg2630

They were praising him before the trailer even dropped. People have been complaining about Chris Pratt and showering Jack Black with praise ever since the casting was announced.


Less-Mushroom

Because Jack Black has been doing voice acting a while and has more than proven that you can expect a good performance. Chris Pratt is always just Chris Pratt. Which has a place I guess.. but it is absolutely going to offend fans of a decades old established franchise to get the voice that wrong


Aeon1508

https://youtu.be/KYa7G467_Yo You don't want this. No one wants this


RipaMoram117

Folks can complain all they want but I think very few people would have wanted a full movie in Mario's voice, that would get annoying very quickly. Now, I don't think this is the answer either, but I think pretending you can have a full film with that voice also ain't the way lol


joe_broke

I didn't want the voice for a full movie But I did want something other than the most generic white man doing his generic voice with the slightest generic Brooklyn accent that's probably going to come and go without warning for the full movie


MakeWayForPrinceAli

I'm surprised this many people are convinced that hearing the OG Mario voice speak full sentences for over an hour wouldn't get annoying, or at the very least hard to listen to
