I remember in the 2000's they did a CG TMNT movie where presumably they ran out of money before they could hire celebrities for all 4 turtles, and had to use their placeholder actors. (All four of which were prolific voice actors.) One of them said in an interview that he and the others didn't realize they were actually in the final product until they were invited to the premier. Bit of a ramble, but I guess the point is the only time talent gets prioritized over stunt casting is when there simply isn't money for stunt casting.

Reinbach

Probably not, yeah. I heard he got offered some token role, but that's just a rumor and by the sounds of things I doubt he took it if so.

Reinbach

I think Jack Black killing it so hard as Bowser is a big part of why Chris Pratt is getting judged so harshly by comparison lol. XD

The trailer for the movie looked fantastic (provided it has a good story and not just some generic fetch quest adventure), but idk why it's so hard for them to just get a voice actor instead of using Hollywood star power. Fans aren't happy because he doesn't sound like Mario, and Twittards aren't happy because they hate Chris Pratt.

So while it's true that Martinet hasn't OFFICIALLY voiced Mario long-form in any games, doing study for how much work the dude put INTO voicing Mario made me think the yeah, the dude could have managed it perfectly. Dude's did promo tours, in character. Did live talks at a Super Mario 64 reveal promo, in-character. I've no doubt the dude could have given an A+ performance for an entire movie, as he's been Mario for twenty years. There's videos of Martinet reading entire books to kids, in-character, as Mario. The whole "Well could he have done an entire movie?" makes me think "I dunno, did anybody ask him to try?"

I don't think that Martinet has the acting chops to carry a whole movie, but Chris Pratts Mario sounds like Linda Belcher (Alriiiight!). I think that a different voice actor could make it his own, like Jack Black did with Bowser so far (which I loved)

Sophia Dearden

Maybe. I don't really know voice actors so I couldn't say myself. I just have a bit of a knee jerk favoritism for getting proper voice actors to do more voice acting in major pictures.

Reinbach

Thanks! The more I think about it, Martinet might have been able to pull it off if he'd been free to expand on his limited performance from the games, and maybe should have been given a shot. Funny thing, though, if it wasn't going to be him, or Chris Pratt, who then? I'm trying to think of who should have been the big celebrity to play Mario and I'm drawing a blank. Only Bob Hoskins comes to mind, and even if he was still with us I doubt he'd have said yes lol.

Oh no I don't blame Chris Pratt at all. Frankly given his most recent stuff I think he needs the work, haha. And I can't really blame the studio either. Charles Martinet does not put butts into seats is probably what the reasoning was. Whether that reasoning is correct is a different story of course. I get why they went with the known actor, I just don't think it's because Martinet couldn't have made the voice work.

Reinbach

I'll agree that Martinet probably could have made it work, even with a full speaking role. He has a ton of range indeed and could have adapted his Mario voice for a full speaking role. In fact, that probably would have been the best case scenario here and my waifu is right. But I don't think this is Chris Pratt's fault, as studio heads ignoring the obvious choice in favor of a big name likely wasn't his call to make.

Reinbach

I'll have to look her up, can't remember her off the top of my head. I never messed wiht any of the Paper Mario games either, might be some ladies hiding in there. XD

Reinbach

I think that's the perfect fit for the games, yes. Mario really doesn't need to talk there. And since the games have been 99% of his media presence for the last few decades, I can see why it's weird now that he has to talk for sure.

Reinbach

Ultimate max combo of hot and talented indeed! :D

Reinbach

You mean Wendy? I might have to do some serious backflips to make her conventionally attractive lol, but I do love a challenge every now and then. XD

RenegadePhantom

While it's true Martinet has never fully voiced Mario and the game Mario voice would sound silly in a movie, the man has range. I mean he voiced Paarthunax as well, about the furthest you can get from Mario voice wise. I don't know of course, maybe they tested him and didn't like the voice. But then they did like Pratt's take so... yeah.

Sophia Dearden

The picture is awesome. I also feel the same about the Mario casting. I think they probably could have found a better person to cast, but Martinet has never voiced Mario speaking full sentences and whatnot.

ScuzzBucket

Beautiful picture of lovely, well-proportioned breasts and a great amount of cum! I will say that simping for a voice actress and calling her a future bride is SUPER ICKY and I would never do it. Now excuse me while I immediately re-check Idina Menzel’s marital status for the fiftieth time :D.

Well you've already drawn Bowsette but there's still Boosette.

I would prefer Mario be a mostly silent protagonist and let the side characters do the talking, much like how it was done in Super Mario RPG. Mario pantomiming his dialog worked really well.
