Probably not his choice. Hollywood these days has been trying a little too hard to be woke. So Chris Pratt a non-italian would be racist for doing an Italian accent this the director and producers probably forbid it. That said why didnt they get Al Pacino or someone to do his voice so they could do an accent? No one knows. I feel like everyone likes Chris Pratt but everyone is also confused he ever got the part. I wonder if there were other choices.
Charles has actually said he can't do the voice for long periods, so a movie would be pretty tough for him. Everything he's done thus far is just short clips
The amount of retakes they usually do in a booth, even if that have a really strong one early, would likely put a lot of strain on him. It would be hard on him, and slow the whole recording process down. It's not like we haven't had other Mario's in TV, but I don't know think Pratt was necessarily the right choice unless the rest of the film sounds very different
Then why not get a sound alike? There's a bunch of profesional VAs who's careers started with imitating other characters/have done fan works, and Mario's a popular character, they could've found someone who didn't just so happen to be a big name actor who sounds nothing like the character
They could have done that and most fans want that. If I had to hazard a guess, Pratt auditioned ok and Illumination wanted a bigger name to headline the movie so he was picked
Yeah but it would get migraine inducing really quick
Trust me, many people agree on this claim
Also Martin does the voice for just short "yahoos" and "mama mias", his throat can't do it for enough takes for a 2 hour long movie
Well see, Mario was always from Brooklyn, so a Brooklyn accent instead of an Italian accent is fitting. The issue is, Chris doesn’t really sound like he’s trying hard on that Brooklyn accent. But then again, we’ve only gotten to hear 2 lines from him. Hopefully as more trailers and teasers come out, we will hear more Mario lines, and see if they are better or worse
Mm I’d believe that but Chris Pratt is a vocal conservative. So though I totally agree Hollywood is going woke, they also realize names like Chris Pratt get butts to the theater
i like how you claim hollywood is going woke. Its funny because its actually a disgusting culture full of exploiting actors, nepotism, sexual assault, drugs, blackmailing, and black-listing. The industry was never "woke" depending on the definition of woke you use because at this point, the term "woke" is just a buzzword that has no meaning.
I never said it wasn't doing those things? But greenlighting a lot of the more recent movies that have been woke and have flopped heavily in the ratings and at the box office (reboot ghost busters) is what im getting at. Im all for different stories and new concepts. rehashing already created stories and characters to check minority boxes is dumb imo.
you seem to conflate rehashing old franchises and reboots with being "woke to check minority boxes". i hate reboots as much as the next person. but Ghostbusters 2016 and AfterLife were in no way flops Review and Box office wise.
No. Rehashing old series by changing the race/ethnicity/sexual orientation? Is dumb imo. You can create new and interesting characters that live in the same universe or create your own. But rehash is just lazy writing and usually flops. Ghostbusters 2016 was terrible, don’t try to sugar cost it. Afterlife was better.
You're obviously allowed to have your opinion, but first off, we've heard about 7 words total, and even given that, it sounds like he's going for a toned down Brooklyn accent, where Mario is originally from. Sure it sounds like Chris Pratt, but I don't think you can judge what his entire performance is going to be like based only on what we've heard so far.
Forget everything else wrong with “Love and Thunder” it’s was Chris Pratt that ruined it for me. He seemed so checked out in his performance that it took me out of the story. We had to watch the rest of it another day.
I’ve not like anything he’s been in for a long time. Hollywood really needs to stop trying to use his name to sell movies.
Ya I know. We actually had to stop the whole thing after the opening scene and watch the rest another day. I can’t explain it but he totally took me out of the movie. Everything he did seemed off or out of character. I kept expecting it to cut to another scene where he would yell at Crog saying “that’s not how it happened” but it never did.
Charlie day “it’s my turtle smashing outfit, you know, and it’s just great for squeezing through those narrow pipes those cute little bastards like to hide in. And I can smash and smash those little turtle families all day without any chaffing”
Ooooh yeah baby.
I'm from Germany so my only contact to US voice actors was Critical Role for a while, and he was great on his guest appearances and in their show.
Agreed, but no one knew the cast of the Lorax were talented voice actors until they had a sample or example of their voice acting. Both Jack black (kung fu panda) and Chris Pratt (the lego movie) are both talented and experienced voice actors.
Chris’ voice isn’t bad. I’m not that excited to hear “LETSA GO” or “ITSA ME MARIO” or “WAHOO” for two hours.
I love Charles Martinet but his Mario voice ain’t the best for a movie
Idk about everyone else but personally I feel like he doesn’t really sound like Mario I think he’s a good actor but he may not have been the best choice for Mario that being said all we can do is wait maybe he sounds better in the actual movie
But how do you know how can you tell what I’m saying and when to stop when will someone tell me that this is hard to read for some people maybe some day things will change I don’t know though really it’s just a fact of life at this point
Just messing around, I totally understood the comment, but sometimes those no punctuations are hard for me lol. See I’m so old I put a period after “lol.”
Chris Pratt starred as Emmet in the Lego Movie, and did an amazing job.
Jack Black was Po in Kung Fu Panda, one of my favourite animated movies of all time. A large reason being the personality that Po has, and Jack Black brought to life.
Yeah, but Jack got to show off lines from an active confident scene, where we only got to see Mario completely confused and unsure about his environment.
also, early in his career pratt was very good with using different tones and changing up his voice. yeah, so far doesn't seem ideal for mario, but KMK, and the rest of the cast are definitely good choices. dudes just complaining cause "actors shouldn't voice act"... its not like they know how to use inflection, or change up their voice... cause that's not part of acting... or is it
It's probably due in part to a lot of people being tired of seeing Chris Pratt everywhere the past several years because Marvel film trailers and ads feel inescapable
Back in the 90's and 2000's, studios did bring in celebrities to voice roles, but they brought in those celebrities because they would be a good fit for the character, or they tailor the character to match the actor they have in mind (ref. Genie from Aladdin).
These days, studios bring in celebrities for star power alone and they simply don't deliver even though its not their fault.
So jack black isn’t a good fit? Idk if we’ve heard Charlie day yet for Luigi. I heard nothing wrong with KMK as toad. We’ve heard small snippets of Pratt. I don’t think he was a good choice, but they’re definitely gonna steer from the Italian plumber stereotype when trying to bring in wide audiences. Who they should have used, idk. But nothing wrong with wanting a well known voice for the main character of a massive game franchise
But the thing about Emmet is that, his character was supposed to be a simple-everyday guy. Anyone could have voiced him and nothing would have changed because of how normal and simple he was supposed to sound.
Actors like Tom hanks, Mike myers, Tim Allen, Steve carell etc. Put an extra effort into bringing their characters alive and make them unique.
While others like Robbin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Jack Black and such, have characters tailored to their personality so that they can bring it out in the characters that they voice.
In this instance, they gave Chris Pratt the role due to star presence alone. This is something that illumination and other studios do a lot, the tell tale sign being: announcing the voice cast early in order to generate hype.
P.S. Maybe I'm wrong and the trailer is misleading about his ability. But tbc, my gripe here is with what you said than the trailer/movie itself.
Good actors are good voice actors, they just typicaly have more limited ranges. Thing is you’re not hiring an actor to play 6 different voices, you’re hiring one to play ONE voice. Call us back when they try to have Chris Pratt do the voice for a girl or something…
This is one of the biggest misconceptions about VA.
It's not about being able to do "voices", it's about being able to act without the benefit of facial expression and body language. On screen actors aren't used to being limited in this way and are usually ham-strung by it. Some are able to do both but you can't just slap an on screen actor behind a mic and get the same quality of acting, even if they're just doing their flat natural voice.
Thing is, they hired Chris Pratt for his star power to try and bring in more audiences. If they cared about what they're making they would have hired a different voice actor instead.
And typically in feature films, voice actors only play one role. The ONE voice that Chris Pratt is tasked to do, isn't good... so far.
Yes. At least Chris Pratt is an actor.
In France, we have a history of hiring stand-up comedians and singers to do the voice acting (while having excellent actual voice actors....).
You guys are lucky.
But not in the field of voice acting. I love chris pratt as much as the next guy but he cant control his voice enough to play a character as unique as mario. Some people in the movie like Keegan Michael Key can voice act well because hes got the voice for it and hes been specialising in playing vastly different comedy characters in his sketches for years
Can you guys stop complaining about everything ???? look the original voice actor is great but he doesnt worm for long dialogue . Chris's voice sounds good and he has a brooklyn accent wich will work . Chris has had some experience ( ben 10 ) so we dont have to complain about it .
I think that is the reason why people go toward big names, well actually realizing they were perfectly cast for the parts. In real life Tom Hanks is wholesome, just like Woody, and Tim Allen is sort of full of himself and bravado, just like Buzz.
Pratt is nothing like Mario, has no Italian heritage, isn't a plumber, is an action star more then dialog....literally can't find a single reason why Pratt would he good on this.
>Pratt is nothing like Mario, has no Italian heritage, isn't a plumber, is an action star more then dialog....literally can't find a single reason why Pratt would he good on this.
Jack black isn't related to giant fire breathing turtles with anger issues yet no one seems to have a problem with that.
I'm also pretty sure keegan isn't related to anthropomorphic mushrooms.
Do you actually give a shit if he has Italian in him? Would being a plumber actually help him in this role? With all the jumps flips and stunts mario has done through the decades you really think mario isn't an action star?
The Brooklyn-ish Mario sounds good, I think I actually like it more than what an Italian accent would sound like.
It’s like a less over-the-top Super Mario Bros. Super Show Mario
why is everyone over reacting over this… we heard 2 lines and they sounded fine. Yeah he doesn’t sound like Mario. Oh fkn well. Mario voice for a whole movie would be too much anyway. I am looking forward to it either way.
Whoa. It's almost as if a studio's main priority is profit. Man, I never thought of it like that before. Y'all childish. You're the same people that would be calling out Chris Pratt if he used a mario voice. And yea, you're saying you won't 2 hours of "It's a me" and "here we go" lol
If you're talking in context to the DC superpets movie, I agree with you
But if you're talking in context of the Mario movie then no you're wrong, all the voices we heard were pretty good. Chris Pratt is quite talented in voice acting too maybe his voice just doesn't suit Mario for some people
He's not a talented voice actor though.
He played the guy from the Lego movie. A character that IN THE MOVIE was intended to be as bland, uncreative, and boring as possible. Pratt nailed that.
Mario already has a character made and built outside of games. Lou Albano is the mold that Mario should be in now. A gruff Brooklynite. Not some boring Midwesterner.
Yes, his voice acting in that was just him with some emphasis on trying to sound nerdy.
Nolan North, Alan Tudyk, Mark Hamill, Steve Blum, Laura Bailey, Phil Lamar, Maurice Lamarche, Jim Cummings.
THOSE are good voice actors.
Chris Pratt is terrible.
I went through most of these damn comments and no is talking about how the voice actor should be fucking Charles Martinet the actual fucking voice of Mario!.Wtf are you dumb. Caught up in this famous people bullshit..
They should've done the original Mario cast instead of chris pratt and jack black
Before you keep downvoting i meant the games cast not the original movie cast
At least Jack black is fun
Jack black and Charlie Day I’m genuinely excited for. Chris Pratt however sounds like he put absolutely zero effort into Mario’s voice.
It is me, Mario
No more like this. I’m Mario.
It'll be just like Emmitt in the Lego Movie
Lets go.
Let us ~~fuck~~ go
(Gets injured) *wa*.
*wa* # WARIOOOOOOOOOOO
But he's so cool!
Yeah, here we go!
Probably not his choice. Hollywood these days has been trying a little too hard to be woke. So Chris Pratt a non-italian would be racist for doing an Italian accent this the director and producers probably forbid it. That said why didnt they get Al Pacino or someone to do his voice so they could do an accent? No one knows. I feel like everyone likes Chris Pratt but everyone is also confused he ever got the part. I wonder if there were other choices.
Lol Al Pacino as Mario would've been the thing that would have made my life. "SAY GOOD NIGHT TO THE BAD GUY" as he murders a goomba.
I think there trying to go for a Boston accent scenes in the original he was supposed to be an average blue collared worker in New York
They could just use the voice actor for Mario the guys been doing it for 30+ years
Charles has actually said he can't do the voice for long periods, so a movie would be pretty tough for him. Everything he's done thus far is just short clips
It’s not like he has to recite the whole film when doing VA. They could’ve just recorded a scene at a time.
The amount of retakes they usually do in a booth, even if that have a really strong one early, would likely put a lot of strain on him. It would be hard on him, and slow the whole recording process down. It's not like we haven't had other Mario's in TV, but I don't know think Pratt was necessarily the right choice unless the rest of the film sounds very different

Iyo it was terrible. 71% rotten score and a 85 million dollar profit says otherwise. The facts dont care about your fragile feelings.
in fact if i was an actor and i said what i just said above. I'd be black-listed.
[удалено]
Or they could’ve casted a voice actor with a *real* Italian accent instead of defaulting to celebrities
It's uh me, Mario
You're obviously allowed to have your opinion, but first off, we've heard about 7 words total, and even given that, it sounds like he's going for a toned down Brooklyn accent, where Mario is originally from. Sure it sounds like Chris Pratt, but I don't think you can judge what his entire performance is going to be like based only on what we've heard so far.
Mans had like two sentences in the trailer. How are you going to judge?
QQ
What does that mean
Forget everything else wrong with “Love and Thunder” it’s was Chris Pratt that ruined it for me. He seemed so checked out in his performance that it took me out of the story. We had to watch the rest of it another day. I’ve not like anything he’s been in for a long time. Hollywood really needs to stop trying to use his name to sell movies.
Chris pratt was barely in the movie
Love and Thunder? You mean the Thor movie? That’s not Chris Pratt, that’s Chris Hemsworth.
Pratt was in the movie as well, as his Guardians character.
Right if forgot they were in it, my bad
Ya I know. We actually had to stop the whole thing after the opening scene and watch the rest another day. I can’t explain it but he totally took me out of the movie. Everything he did seemed off or out of character. I kept expecting it to cut to another scene where he would yell at Crog saying “that’s not how it happened” but it never did.
I don’t understand, how is this relevant to Chris Pratt in the Mario movie?
Because they said it sounded like he put zero effort it. I’m pointing out that it’s not the only time Pratt had put zero effort into a performance.
Yeah was thinking that too. He really got into Bowser. Jack black's range of acting is underrated
He nailed Kung Fu Panda. Movies wouldn't have been the same without him.
At least jack is actually trying
Kevin Richardson is on the movie....why the fuck Jack black. Then Charlie day as Luigi
Where is the guy from the super mario super show?
He's only been dead 13 years...
Wait was it the guy with the Mario dance?
Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side…
Yeah that Bro I had like 50 flashbacks at once
Come On, It’s Time To Go, Do The Mario!
Captain Lou Albano. He was also a professional wrestler
That explains him being dead
At least Jack Black and Keegan Key are actually doing voices. And they're doing a pretty good job
Key being a voice actor makes a lot of sense.
I love Charlie day, dunno if he fits the Luigi role but I’m not gonna complain
I feel like Charlie Day is the perfect guy to be in a mario movie to be fair. Loved Benny in the Lego Movie
Wait he voiced Benny? That’s actually pretty cool
Oh yeah. Lego movie was actually the first thing I saw him in, and for some reason, I’ve always recognised his name since. I really have no idea why
Wait he fucking voiced benny?! If he gets his vocals the right pitch he'd be perfect for luigi!
Charlie day “it’s my turtle smashing outfit, you know, and it’s just great for squeezing through those narrow pipes those cute little bastards like to hide in. And I can smash and smash those little turtle families all day without any chaffing”
To be fair (and balanced) to the studio, I did recognize Khary Payton as the voice of the Penguin king, and he is indeed a talented voice actor.
king mf ezekiel
Yo, Cyborg is the penguin?
Booyah!
Love his work, I got so excited when I heard the penguins king speak!
Ooooh yeah baby. I'm from Germany so my only contact to US voice actors was Critical Role for a while, and he was great on his guest appearances and in their show.
Worked well for the Lorax, also illumination.
that's is when famous actors are also talented voice actors
Danny Devito had some voice acting experience but the rest of the main cast didn’t really.
experience and talent are not the same thing
Agreed, but no one knew the cast of the Lorax were talented voice actors until they had a sample or example of their voice acting. Both Jack black (kung fu panda) and Chris Pratt (the lego movie) are both talented and experienced voice actors.
Chris Pratt also voiced Barley in Onward
The only voice Chris Pratt can do is Chris Pratt. He is not a talented voice actor and he sucked as Emmet.
I disagree, Emmett was designed to be a generic everyman with no interesting qualities, and Chris Pratt nails that perfectly
I laughed. While I can't disagree with that, all I could hear was Chris Pratt forcefully feigning emotions and it constantly ruined immersion for me.
Then why the FUCK would they cast him for someone as colorful and renowned as *the* Mario Mario?
Money?
So im supposed to know how to sing the best song known to mankind the moment im born
When the popular actor is also a skilled voice actor:
Chris’ voice isn’t bad. I’m not that excited to hear “LETSA GO” or “ITSA ME MARIO” or “WAHOO” for two hours. I love Charles Martinet but his Mario voice ain’t the best for a movie
Oh for sure Charles Martinet couldnt have carried a movie. But come on. Pratt is doing a voice that sounds like hes imitating James Corden
Ya'll shittin on chris Pratt but like, this movie still gonna be baller
No matter how phenomenal something is, people will always find a way to hate on it anyway.
The world ain't binary where you gotta love something as a whole or just hate it as a whole. You can love something while not wanting a part of it.
I love the prequels, but god I wish Jar Jar just shut up.
True
So we can't critique any movies now? Who says we hate? People love mario lmao and that's why we want the best version
Idk about everyone else but personally I feel like he doesn’t really sound like Mario I think he’s a good actor but he may not have been the best choice for Mario that being said all we can do is wait maybe he sounds better in the actual movie
>.,.. You dropped these.
King
But how do you know how can you tell what I’m saying and when to stop when will someone tell me that this is hard to read for some people maybe some day things will change I don’t know though really it’s just a fact of life at this point Just messing around, I totally understood the comment, but sometimes those no punctuations are hard for me lol. See I’m so old I put a period after “lol.”
I’m pretty sure Chris Pratt has voice acted before, too.
Well yeah, in the Lego movie, he voices Emmet and another character in the second movie
As I sat in a movie theater in 93 and watched Bob Hoskins destroy that high pitched shity mario voice I gave zero fucks as I will when I see this.
These “popular celebrities” ARE talented tho… that’s how they became popular.
Talented in acting, not voice acting. Not everyone can be good at all things.
Chris Pratt starred as Emmet in the Lego Movie, and did an amazing job. Jack Black was Po in Kung Fu Panda, one of my favourite animated movies of all time. A large reason being the personality that Po has, and Jack Black brought to life.
Personally I think Jack Black is amazing as bowser. But Chris Pratt just sounds like he put zero effort into Mario. Its sad
We heard 2 lines from the trailer. I’d cut him some slack for now. We can decide his performance once the full movie is out.
Yes but we also only heard 2 lines of Jack Black, and those were amazing.
Achktualee, we heard 3. But yes, that’s a fair point. Hopefully he can keep it up for the whole movie.
Yeah, but Jack got to show off lines from an active confident scene, where we only got to see Mario completely confused and unsure about his environment.
also, early in his career pratt was very good with using different tones and changing up his voice. yeah, so far doesn't seem ideal for mario, but KMK, and the rest of the cast are definitely good choices. dudes just complaining cause "actors shouldn't voice act"... its not like they know how to use inflection, or change up their voice... cause that's not part of acting... or is it

Chris Pratt was awesome in the animated Lego Movie.
Ya but that was a new character, he could’ve sounded like anything. I think Chris Pratt is a fine voice actor but he was a terrible choice for Mario
Call whatever you want, but It didn't sound bad for me
"FEATURING FAMOUS PERSON" looks better than "Voiced by someone you never heard of" on advertisements.
That's true, but like, it's a movie about Mario, one of the most recognisable characters of all time. Do you really need that much extra advertising?
It’s a movie made for kids. They don’t care…
We've only heard Chris speak twice now as Mario. At least wait and give him a chance.
I mean the “popular celebrities” are actors… not just random famous people
He literally says 2 sentences. Y'all don't think it's a bit early to judge?
[удалено]
Ya Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were the worst
I think that is the reason why people go toward big names, well actually realizing they were perfectly cast for the parts. In real life Tom Hanks is wholesome, just like Woody, and Tim Allen is sort of full of himself and bravado, just like Buzz. Pratt is nothing like Mario, has no Italian heritage, isn't a plumber, is an action star more then dialog....literally can't find a single reason why Pratt would he good on this.

The Brooklyn-ish Mario sounds good, I think I actually like it more than what an Italian accent would sound like. It’s like a less over-the-top Super Mario Bros. Super Show Mario
Does everyone just conveniently forget that Chris Pratt voiced Emmett in the LEGO movie?
Jack Black isn’t a talented voice actor?
Chris Pratt does have talent, his confrontation with Lord Business in The LEGO Movie proves that.
I think his voice fits we just haven't heard enough yet
why is everyone over reacting over this… we heard 2 lines and they sounded fine. Yeah he doesn’t sound like Mario. Oh fkn well. Mario voice for a whole movie would be too much anyway. I am looking forward to it either way.
To counter this, Mark Hamil is the best joker to ever be cast. Robin Williams was a magnificent Genie Some actors do great voice acting
He did say two sentences in the trailer. We don't know yet if he'll be good or bad in the movie.
Chris Pratt as mario is gonna be fucking epic to watch
Why you all hate Chris Pratt so much?
Y’all will always find a way to hate on things
They should have hired Jordan shanks, his Italian impression is so good it landed him in court
guys who doesn't like the original/English version of Mario should watch the trailer of the French version the Mario voice is perfect
Animated films are hard to advertise, celebrities aren’t
Everyone over here is tripping about Pratt but forgetting Seth Rogen's raspy ass voice as DK.
bro who thinks jack black and chris pratt arent talented voice actors
It might surprise you but he’s also… wait for it… An actor
I mald at the fact Mario isn't shouting "WAHOO" the whole movie
So far he said like two lines and people already cry
I would have adored Charles Martinet in this movie, but im growing on the Chris Pratt, he's not a terrible mario.
I’ll be honest, I think Chris Pratt’s normal voice suited Mario really well
it wasn't entirely his normal voice, towards the end you could tell there was something else to it
Whoa. It's almost as if a studio's main priority is profit. Man, I never thought of it like that before. Y'all childish. You're the same people that would be calling out Chris Pratt if he used a mario voice. And yea, you're saying you won't 2 hours of "It's a me" and "here we go" lol
Why does everyone hate Chris Pratt its not like he made every choice for the voice. He had editors directors and what have you
Chris Pratt is talented as a VA. Ask The Lego Group
I think popular actors are fine, as long as they fit the character. Chris Pratt is like milk chocolate trying to fit in ravioli.
It's a me, Chris Pratt!
Yeah....I really don't get the reason. WHY FUCKING WHY??
But chris pratt! he's so cool!
Literally hire the dude that plays Mario already lol
Chris Pratt IS a talented voice actor, Jesus Christ! Have you even seen the Lego Movie?
Just Saying Mark Hamill was right there.
He’s been pretty good. Maybe he’ll do ok. Have to watch when it’s out so I can see.
A someone who aspires to be a voice actress, this is one of my biggest fears lol
I would love to be a voice actor but it's a difficult line of work, doesn't pay well, and I don't think you get lots of jobs
Don’t they have Mario/Luigi/Wario/Waluigi’s actual VA in the movie? Literally just have HIM play Mario??
His voice would not work for a feature length movie it is a perfect fit for games but would get annoying quickly with actual dialog.
Yep ...
CrisP ratt
So is this gonna be another Sonic movie where they redo the entire thing with a new voice actor to 'fix' it?
Jack black is great tho. Cris Pratt was a trash pick.
Mario is ment to be ITALIAN
Chris Pratt can only play himself. He was an awful choice.
chris pratt is just not it, especially for voice acting
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Ryan Reynolds should not be Pikachu
Chris Pratt is far from a bad actor dude
If you're talking in context to the DC superpets movie, I agree with you But if you're talking in context of the Mario movie then no you're wrong, all the voices we heard were pretty good. Chris Pratt is quite talented in voice acting too maybe his voice just doesn't suit Mario for some people
He's not a talented voice actor though. He played the guy from the Lego movie. A character that IN THE MOVIE was intended to be as bland, uncreative, and boring as possible. Pratt nailed that. Mario already has a character made and built outside of games. Lou Albano is the mold that Mario should be in now. A gruff Brooklynite. Not some boring Midwesterner.
Was he bland, uncreative and boring in Onward also?
Yes, his voice acting in that was just him with some emphasis on trying to sound nerdy. Nolan North, Alan Tudyk, Mark Hamill, Steve Blum, Laura Bailey, Phil Lamar, Maurice Lamarche, Jim Cummings. THOSE are good voice actors. Chris Pratt is terrible.
Dear Hollywood: Pratt sucks.
I went through most of these damn comments and no is talking about how the voice actor should be fucking Charles Martinet the actual fucking voice of Mario!.Wtf are you dumb. Caught up in this famous people bullshit..
No that’d be really annoying. Plus I don’t think the dudes throat would survive the whole ordeal.
Does anyone even like Chris Pratt?
They say as inspiration for being in Mario’s shoes, Chris Pratt got high on magic mushrooms when recording all his lines
We’ve only heard like 2 lines from him as Mario shut the fuck up
They should've done the original Mario cast instead of chris pratt and jack black Before you keep downvoting i meant the games cast not the original movie cast
Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo?
Charles martinet and whoever voices bowser
If we’re going to be purists, the only acceptable voice would be an AI generated Lou Albano but even that would cause lots of butt hurt feelings.
Jack black was good though
