I have since written up an alternate history for if Joe Dante had directed the 1993 film using the fantasy draft.

Another idea I had was an adaptation of Star Fox using combined puppetry, models, and CGI that is produced in collaboration with David Mitton and other people who worked on the Classic Series of Thomas & Friends. The main reason being that they used to work on Thunderbirds, which was a major...
I would've much preferred if they had made the voice direction for Daisy in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour permanent. It gives off a sassy 'girl next door' vibe that I feel would have not only made Daisy stand out for the better, but also given her a larger fanbase more quickly.
I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured since most people here liked The Super Mario Bros. Movie, I would say this all here.
I get that Nintendo can't be on a Hollywood studio's case 24/7, but that movie seriously needed at least another rewrite or two. With that in mind, here's what I...
I think they went with actors who aren't doing that well so hastily because, in Martinet's case, they began to see him as being linked to Mario in a way that was a liability. Particularly after the backlash against him not being cast in the movie.
While Nintendo has been ethically questionable before, I think it's only gotten worse since Iwata died and Reggie left. Unfortunately it seems that even if Switch 2 ends up losing steam at some point, it's not gonna be enough of a failure for Nintendo to undergo its next course correction.
Still I hope that Nintendo ditches Cup of Tea Productions (the voice acting agency they've been using lately) at some point soon. Because frankly the actors they're casting for the Mario cast are not doing that good a job at even trying to sound like their predecessors.
Not sure if this is unpopular, but shafting first Charles Martinet then Samantha Kelly when they've made it clear they wanted to keep voicing their characters as long as they could is truly disgraceful. Same goes for Deanna Mustard and inevitably Kenny James.
Even if this would still happen...
