A 3 hour epic of what?

Does every hour with Peach being in another castle?

Will Mario and Bowser have an hour long battle thats overly long and drawn out?

Will it be an hour of Luigi digging for gold?

If they do create it I hope they use the RPGs as a base for the story. I mean, movies generally don't have crap plots so why would they try to make something out of the crap plots in the main series when they actually have decent plots to work with. We all saw how the SMB movie turned out.

Yes because the SMB movie's biggest failing was following the source material too much.

Mind you I haven't seen it in ages so Im just going off the little I remember of it. It still had Bowser (Koopa) kidnapping someone (Daisy, who was obviously meant to fill Peach's role)

What Im saying is everything that wasn't completely made up in that movie was based around the crap plots in the main series. That plus all the crappy new stuff is what made it fail. If they had put more effort into the new stuff and actually took a good-storied Mario game for the plot, it could've been a great movie. (although I don't remember if even SMRPG had come out by that time)
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

Yes because Peach never got kidnapped in the rpgs and there was never at any point where she had to be saved.

Seriously, if reading the super mario adventures comic told me anything is that you can get a lot of mileage out of the basic Mario scenario.
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

But not as much as the various RPG scenarios. And I dunno about you but I want the movie's story to represent the best of Mario stories.
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

Thats a load of shit, the Main series ''plot'' is so basic that the amount of crap you can do by filling in the ridiculously huge gap inbetween is absurd.

Also if this does happen, its not going to adapt a previous story, its going to be its own thing, like the great mission to save princess peach was.

Really all it needs, all it should be about, is Mario, Luigi, Peach and maybe Toad (depending on whether they treat him as an individual or a species) stopping Bowser from taking over the mushroom kingdom/the world.

Thats the base scenario, they just need to fill that in with stuff appropriate to Mario and make it a fun, entertaining and enjoyable film that gets the spirit of the series while still being its own thing.

That would be a waste IMO. Make a new story or base it on one of the games with plots. (No I don't mean make a new crap story. Get one of the writers for Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario in there to create the story)

Yes, it would be a waste that it actually does something that people associate with the series.
