It had crazy reimaginings of a fan-favorite property. Now that wasn't welcome in the early 90s, but such reimaginations became all the rage in the mid 2000s. That said, the SMB movie was ahead of its time and would have been much more accepted - maybe even beloved - had it been made a decade later.

>> No.3144893

>>3144886
Agreed. Especially since production was a fucking nightmare. It still managed to be a solid movie despite all that shit.

Hell, I consider the climax very well done, and its interpretations of the source were clever (literal mushroom kingdom, turning the goomba heads into uniforms with smaller heads on top, jet boots, that cute as fuck Daisy).

I'd even argue that the wall portal inspired the portals in SM64.

Is this an alternate reality

The movie was fucking garbage with bad acting, a horrible plot, horrible fucking cheesy effects and really stupid characters that didn't represent their video game personalities at all.

I kinda agree with this. The spirit of the movie in relation to the video game is very 2000s. Something like the Mario movie would have worked better in the 00s than it did in the early 90s. People just weren't expecting a gloomy, sort of gritty version of the Mario universe, they just wanted to see the whimsical world of the games embodied in a live action movie, not a cyberpunk reimagining.
Not sure if it would have been more accepted, but it would have seemed less weird to people.
