The Mario Movie is a poor man's The Lego Movie. The biggest problems about it is how underthought the plot was and poor character writing, yet the audience(which includes Mario fans), praise it and makes excuses such as "Mario games never had much of a story anyway". Many character interactions should have been explored more such as Donkey Kong and Mario's sudden friendship and Peach and Mario's relationship. Luigi was so badly sidelined which disrespectful to the name of the movie. Instead of being a partner to Mario, he spends most of the movie locked in a dungeon, waiting for Mario to do something. Peach's presence in the movie is to blame for how Luigi was potrayed. Basically, she was just another generic warrior princess like Wonder Woman who pretty much didn't need Mario. Bowser was a complete joke. His love for Peach was too exaggerated. He's just a jealous clown which is shown when someone mentions Peach or when it's about Peach like when Bowser killed a Koopa Troopa, wanting Mario dead because he was hanging out with Peach and sacrifing his prisoners for his wedding with Peach.

Awful movie. The plot sucked and had awful pacing humour, and dialogue were subpar(like the octopus joke). and they couldn't think of anything better so they brought back some old characters which still didn't save this poorly written film. One bad dialogue scene was when the 3 Spider-Men where making jokes about Tobey's organic webs which was just awkward and humourless. And to add to that, Tobey saying that "my back" joke and Norman Osborn repeating "I'm something of a scientist myself". Just why?! The film could never decide whether it's a comedy or a dark action movie. This movie certifies that Tom Holland is the worst Spider-Man. With great power comes great responsibilty and MCU Spider-Man lacks that. He's had 6 movies and still acts like an inexperienced, immature, not independent, not smart and acts like a rookie. And the whole plot started because he couldn't think of an alternative to get him and his friends to college so he got Doctor Strange to go and make a spell so that everyone will forget that Peter is Spider-Man(also doing it without his friends consent). And of course with Peter being the doofus he is, he messes up the spell which causes the multiverse to colide. There's a reason why his messes are always cleaned up by someone better than him. One of Spider-Man's best traits is his quick thinking and it was so inevitable that after messing up the spell, he decides to go and talk to the headteacher of the college for a placement(same scene where Doctor Octopus appears). You'd think he would have learnt his lesson about trusting villains in Far From Home but no; he does it again which caused Aunt May's death. It could have been avoided if he had just sent them home, but no they needed to be "cured"(which is odd because The Lizard was cured in the Amazing Spider-Man). It just made him look sappy and too Disney like, thinking he can change their fate. It's also not smart to invite dangerous villains into your house with a non superhero family member there. How could he trust them that quickly? When you see it, you find it hard to feel bad for Peter because you're like "yeah this guy sucks" The emotional scenes in this movie were pretty awful, especially how long and stretched May's death was and they still tried to exchange jokes and had her standing up right before dying(also re wording Uncle Ben's infamous line which sounded wrong). Family member deaths are always before the character becomes a hero so doing it after feels cheap. It wasn't even basic superhero bad luck, just Spider-Man not thinking straight. Marvel really need new writers(especially in the comedic department), because they've released 4 bad movies this year and a TV show that messed up a timeline just like No Way Home did. And they've also ruined Spider-Man's character by not properly developing him and just throwing him into the Avengers drama. They are cash grabbers and only adding him because he is popular and it will get the movie ticket sales up. Watch Spectacular Spider-Man if you wanna see a better version of a teenger superhero. No Way Home is one of the few movies that make me wish the villains had won, and the reason is that the plot armour on Spider-Man was too strong. Like when geometry was somehow the answer to get out of the mirror dimension. Green Goblin was right about his morality getting the better of him. Overall this movie was just an ovehyped, over budgeted nostalgia bait and Spider-Man is the real antagonist of this film. Always puts people in danger for no reason. J. Jonah Jameson was right about him messing things up and being a "Spider-Menace". It won't be long till Marvel outmilk him.

Replying to IAM GREAT Stfu. Breaking bad is overrated
