No care
15 July 2023
The complete absence of care.

Mario & Luigi are treated like objects. Cliche one liners. No time to breathe. Only panic attacks. Bullying each other. Doing what they're told. Rush rush.

Mario is not permitted to possess discipline, courage, imagination, heart, backbone, standards, have value in society and be proud. He hides, has anxiety, and wins by chance.

Villains are worshipped. Allowed the breathe. Parade. Be the victim.

All scenes have the single most cliche music possible.

The start of the film puts you in a panic and blows your synapses using panic music, one-second cuts, and the sense of doom. It's also shot to put you on the side of the villain - before there is even a victim introduced yet. What are you supposed to think? Doom is exciting, interesting, and worth watching?

The villains aren't shot with a backstory except for "shock & awe". Even in lord of the rings, villains were shot as slaves.

Why make the film?
