Yes Theyd Be The Cybertronian Parents Of The Gang!

Yes they’d be the Cybertronian parents of the gang!

I really want Elita to become a second mother to Robby, Mo, Twitch, and Thrash.

We all know that Optimus is very fatherly towards younger characters, but Elita being motherly to the kids and Bumblebee would be so sweet and adorable to see.

I don’t go here and only know ML slightly but mmmmm that shot of the Eiffel Tower between Ladybug and Chat Noir as they try to deny their feelings, which makes me think of how they’re duty to Paris is one more barrier between them (but I also don’t go here so don’t take my word on that)

YOU'RE RIGHT THOUGH

I'm gonna be honest here:

The Mario movie actually looks really nice. Despite Illumination being known for the somewhat cheap animation it's got (which isn't necessarily bad mind you) you can tell that the studio actually put a lot of effort into the movie just from the trailer alone. You can see the difference in their budget and the passion that the animators have in just the two minutes alone like I was shocked.

The VAing is surprisingly good! Jack Black as Bowser threw me for a loop because I didn't even recognize him! It was only after he'd did the little chuckle and said:

"I do not."

That I caught his voice and realized that it was him. He's done an incredible job with the character and I can't wait to see him in the movie!!!

Chris Pratt on the other hand......

Look I don't know the actor very well other than he's in the Marvel and Jurassic World trilogy but as soon as I heard him talk and say:

"What is this place?"

I couldn't help but feel like he just.....didn't care about his role. It felt like it wasn't Mario at all. Even my mom who's not a fan of video games and only knows the basics of them due to me and my siblings talking to her about, had said that he just wasn't Mario and the voice didn't fit the character. (She also said the same thing when the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer was released and she saw his first design before it was fixed. She literally took one look and said "That's not Sonic.")

Like that says a lot.

Personally I think if Chris Pratt wants to make this work he'd actually have to put a little bit of effort into his role. Or else it just won't really work. That or the studio and Nintendo get a new VA who's more excited to voice Mario.

But other than the voice for our favorite red Italian plumber I gotta say that everything else looks and sounds really good!!! The scenery is phenomenal and stunning and colorful just like the video games and the character's designs look so good and well done!! Honestly kinda excited to see what the movies like when it comes out next year!!! (They better not massacre my boys because like Sonic they deserve some respect as well).

Anyways those are my personal thoughts.

I came across a compilation of animated cutscenes from the game Miraculous: Rise of Sphinx and I was extremely surprised to find a specific flashback scene with Gabriel and Nathalie in the game. you all should take a look:

this scene seems to tell us why Gabriel chose to use Butterfly Miraculous to become a villain, and what role Nathalie played in that. to be honest, I'm shocked. I would never have thought that this will be shown IN THE GAME, but NOT IN CANON.

I LIVE for the contrast between Adrien realising he is in love with Marinette and Marinette realising she is in love with Chat Noir.

Adrien: I think I am in love.

Literally the next scene, Marinette:

Marinette: It's a disaster, I think I am falling in love.

For Adrien, realising that he loves Marinette is wonderful! Of course he loves his very good friend Marinette, who else would he??!

But Marinette is absolutely devasted by the realisation that she loves Chat Noir. Maybe she feels like she has failed on her duty as Ladybug to not let her emotions impact her work. Maybe she feels guilty for rejecting Adrien's love just to realise that she is in love with Chat Noir. In any case, it really pains her.

If we take a step back; in the last four seasons, it was Adrien who was suffering of his love for Ladybug. He cried over her in Glaciator 2. Loving Ladybug pained him, while Marinette, albeit somewhat disturbed by her fear of rejection, hadn't suffered as much so far. Maybe she was repressing it, but that's not the point.

The point is, seems like whoever likes the superhero gets their heart crushed: their duties prevent them from knowing the identity of the person they love (hence causing the whole love square schenanigans) or from loving them freely due to distraction, or worse, risk of destroying the world.

I feel like a broken record since I keep repeating that it is their superhero duties that cause them all the pain, but it seriously is. I think the writers are preparing the base for the Kwamiis Choice, where Tikki and Plagg also realise that and decide to free them from the burden of being superheroes.

mystified by the argument that videogame!Mario's voice speaking full sentences would apparently be "grating" to listen to for the length of a feature film, as if [A]: a voiced Mario game lasts less than an hour to avoid upsetting people's sensibilities, and [2]: Charles Martinet is only capable of doing one silly "WAHOO" voice

besides the quadrant of Mario, the man's the voice of Paarthurnax, the narrator for two of the Bit.Trip Runner games, Gimli in a LotR RPG, and a long history of other video-game, TV and movie bits besides that, and people don't trust that he'd be able to do a full movie? Even sticking to the instruction-booklet story that came with Super Mario Bros, the whole "Brooklyn native ends up in a strange new world" thing isn't difficult to work with - he'd be able to give Mario a more subdued voice, but still decently recognisable as the Mario voice that many are familiar with

I'm not wont to be mean for its own sake, and I'm a full year late on this cause I wasn't on tumblr for a while, but with the trailer out for real now, Chris Pratt is definitely miscast as Mario. Him phoning it in as "Chris Pratt but with a mild accent" compared to Jack Black's Bowser or Keegan-Michael Key's Toad is disappointing, and whilst I know none of what I say will have any real impact on the movie, I definitely feel like it deserved better casting in that regard.
