Just because there's merch doesn't mean it's popular. I guarantee you given the choice between Mario or John Fortnite or Steve Minecraft, Mario would never be picked.

Man I just got out of the cinemas for Mario with ki kid and so many kids were there wearing Mario merch. One group of kids were even there for a Mario themed birthday party.

He's hugely popular. All the sessions here in my cinema today are booked out.

My dude kids aren't playing Fortnite or Minecraft to be competitive. They are playing them because they are fun and appeal exactly to them.

I was thinking the same thing. "Lol, kids don't know Mario, his last game was in 2016! They're all about the 15 year old game though!"
Anyone saying this clearly doesn't interact with children at all. That's not to say Minecraft and Fortnite aren't still popular with kids, but pretending Mario isn't, is plain ridiculous.

Parents forcing Mario on their kids is not the same as kids naturally gravitating towards Fortnite and Minecraft because of their friends and streamers they watch.

It's been almost 7 years since the last Mario game. Fortnite and Minecraft are still releasing new content and have active playerbases. Mario is a dad game.

And yet my sister's 7 year old bought pretty much every single Mario game on the Switch without any input from his parents.
February and March are carnival months here. Carnival here is kinda like Halloween, but with parades handing out candy and no trick or treating. Along with Marvel characters and the typical princess, dinosaur,.. costumes there were a bunch of kids dressed like Mario. Know what I didn't see? Kids running around as creepers or Minecraft Steve.
Kids like and play Mario. My source? Actual kids.

No, evidence. Something you haven't provided once. I'll ask you again. Do you have kids or interact with them on the regular?

it's also okay to voice your displeasure that a movie for babies will make $130m this weekend, largely driven by embarrassing nerds who want to soyface at references and easter eggs
Lol, you sound like such a fucking cry baby, why do you give a shit other than insecurities?

Tbh the movie was quite fun, but dont let someone else hating it be an indictment of your taste. The best way to enjoy media is to not take it personally when someone criticises or shits on it. I liked Man of Steel and we know how people received that.

Yeah because Mario games are carefully considered and crafted. The other side of the coin is that most of Mario's main catalogue is so timeless that the public can endlessly replay them. And spinoffs keep the IP in the public conscious.

The stuff about it being forced on kids is just diarrhea. Are you just never actually around kids or?

Minor Spoilers: More people should be talking about who thought the fatalistic Luma was a good idea. Maybe as a single joke, but they kept bringing him back.

It's not a plot spoiler. It's just an incidental character.

But just for you, I'll block it. Because I'm a nice guy.
