C/D: Chris Pratt will make a great Mario.




I confirm. I believe it will be on par with Jim Carry as Robotnik. He's just so damn cute, yet a grown man. Like John Cena or Ryan Reynolds or one of those other bisexual heartthrobs.

I think he'll do alright.

it's not like there's a lot of depth to the character, where you need to explore his psyche, motivations, etc. that only a well experienced actor can do justice.

He's not going to do a horrible fake Italian accent so the worst he can possibly do is "meh"

Probably the worst choice for Mario. Mario's character is pretty much connected to Charles Martinet. There's no way the voice lives up to that, everything else will have to make up for it.

Disagree here but I also grew up with Lou Albano as Mario. Charles Martinet isn't bad but other voices can definitely make Mario work.

I don't see why not. As long as he doesn't go for a cringy fake accent, he should be fine.

Disagree. I think it would be better if Mario didn't talk. I know he used to talk in old cartoons but those were not really shows meant to be taken seriously. They never even aired in Japan. I like the idea of Mario beng mute and everyone else talking around him

Lou Albano was Mario for like a quarter of a year. Charles Martinet defined the character for multiple generations.

Why did Nintendo think they needed celebrity actors to boost the appeal of fucking Mario

Charles Martinet has like a few voice clips that play on repeat as SFX. Lou has actual lines and conversations.

Yeah and they're all way more forgettable than "It'sa me! Mario!" Mario's jump sounds in 64 is more memorable than anything Lou Albano did lol Martinet is the voice for Mario, there's no argument against it.

I highly doubt anyone at Nintendo thought this was necessary. They probably just wanted to do something different with the characters.

Live action? Or just voice over for something animated?

I'm sure he could come up with an appropriate voice for it. But I just can't see him working out for a live action Mario.

I got a little choked up watching that when he started talking about what the fans say to him. I wonder if he auditioned or if the commitment was too much for his lifestyle or something like that. Seems like a lovely man. will keep an eye out for the name Charles Martinet in the future.
