HylianFox 04/10/23 10:49:18 PM #1:	Because it had a minimalist plot and didn't really have a moral (aside from "Together, we can do anything!") https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anti-woke-super-mario-bros_n_64343f58e4b0859acb954791 The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a super success at the box office over the weekend, and some conservatives had a bizarre explanation for why: anti-wokeness. The animated film sold a whopping $377 million in tickets worldwide in its first five days, making it the biggest opening of 2023, despite some initial criticism for casting Chris Pratt as the voice of the mustached Italian plumber made famous in the Nintendo video game. In addition, John Leguizamo who appeared in the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. movie criticized the new film for failing to include a Latin character. They messed up the inclusion, Leguizamo told TMZ last week. They dis-included. Just cast some Latin folk! Were 20% of the population. The largest people of color group and we are underrepresented. Leguizamos frustration seemed to be a source of glee for some in conservative media, with Turning Point USAs Charlie Kirk praising Nintendo because it refused to let Mario Bros go woke! Mario Bros just grossed $377 milliona new record for animated featuresdespite John Lequizamo boycotting the film because it messed up the inclusion casting two white men, Chris Pratt and Charlie Day, as the Italian American leads. Nintendo refused to let Mario Bros go woke! Others piled on. The original creator of Mario, Miyamoto, was heavily involved with the production of the animated film and insisted that it have as little plot as possible and just feel like one of the games It has no woke narratives and all the characters are exactly like the original games ---- Its hard to find movies to see with the kids that arent woke and full of brainwashing trash. Super Mario Brothers was good ---- The anti-woke Super Mario Bros movie just set a global record. The stir left some people confused. Wait. Stop. Hold on. Now Super Mario Brothers -isn't- woke? Weren't these chuds marching up and down declaring it was woke trash because Princess Peach was shown to be competent? ---- Do you ever have any other thoughts or are they all this obsessed? ---- I guess that is like Bud Light still selling beer even though crybabies like @KidRock & @Travistritt arr boycotting them. Hmmmm One person tried to get specifics on what made Mario Brothers anti-woke, which led to this head-scratching exchange: What was anti-woke about it? ---- That it wasn't woke. You are either with or against the woke mob, and since it wasn't with, it is against. This new conservative appreciation for the film is a far cry from when the trailers first came out last fall. Back then, some conservative types got into a tizzy because the trailer featured Rainbow Road, the climactic course for every Mario Kart game, according to TheGamer.com. One person accused producers of including woke pride flag nonsense into the film. Others feared the movie would send the wrong message by portraying Mario as is bumbling and pathetic, and Princess Peach as a girl boss who saves the day. --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:972763668] in Right-wing...
