The Lumalee joke about being depressing might seem out of character at first glance but it is actually super fitting when you think about how deep and emotional Mario Galaxy gets with the storytime stuff, Rosalinas speech about the cycle of life and death at the end of the game, and how the Lumas basically die whenever they become a part of the Galaxy

@jacobwansleeben3364 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, I think it's meant to be a joke about how the Lumas really like transforming into galaxies, which the movie spins as them thinking death is fun. The Lumas are also a parallel to Rosalina's mother. I might be remembering this wrong, but I think the story of Mario Galaxy also implied that Rosalina's mother died but her last words to her was that she'd "go and live among the stars", which was the whole reason why Rosalina went to search the cosmos for the rest of her life in the first place; to find her mother. Clearly she's matured over the centuries and understands her mother now, she even created a storybook about it.

Mario as he older brother who wants to protect Luigi. He stands up to Spike for bullying Luigi, despite the fact Spike is bigger than him and in a flashback, we see Mario did the same thing for Luigi when they were children. Luigi, despite being the younger brother who is scared of everything, always has Mario's back. When most of the family mocks Mario for leaving his job to start a business, Luigi is the one who checks up on Mario to see if he's okay and brings Mario his dinner plate that is mushroom free, knowing Mario doesn't like mushrooms. When they end up separated, Mario continues to go to the ends of the Earth to save his brother while Luigi keeps Mario in his thoughts and later ends up saving Mario from Bowser's fire breath in the climax. Also, they're reuniting as they hold each other is so adorable and shows true brotherly love.

I grew up with the Mario RPGs (games like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and so on) and those always informed my idea of how the world of Mario should be written and the kind of tone and humor it should have if you're going to add more story and character to it. When you see how Bowser is written in those games it's not very hard to imagine Jack Black's voice coming out of him. Issue is that Mario doesn't talk in those so you'd still have to invent a personality for him. If any elements from those games influence the sequel I'll be at least a little bit happy.

I remember thinking we were about to get a nice character moment between Mario and Donkey so they can finally find common ground in themselves and not just a common goal or enemy, then once they find their common ground they find a way to escape. Instead this movie just jumps to the escape and even in the theater I felt like we were missing something. Maybe it’s me but when there’s a chance for crossovers I always love when they can share their stories with each other.
