Message: [QUOTE="Sumea, post: 101507, member: 569"] I rewatched this movie with a guy few years back and had this same outlook. It is absolutely funny movie for an adult viewer with loads of fun and creative things even if they are also almost like watching one of those "Corrupted Mario" flash things but funded by Nintendo themselves. The scene where they save the "princesses" and one of them adamantly has a smoke between her fingers in every shot. Even every shot of a tube down is absolutely funny. While no masterpiece and not all that in grand scheme, I felt after the rewatch that especially with Minions team behind it, the new movie would be quite soulless in comparison, and in my books, that was true. The 1993 romp still has soul from some mad scientists behind camera and the mess it was during creation process lends more character to the finished product than overall safety of the new one. [automerge]1740681026[/automerge] To be fair, that also is "good" for antagonistic force. Our lens decades later is quite different when Nintendo has hard established the cuteness in everything Mario, Koopas Goombas it all. But back then, goombas were more abstract representation of an enemy that left their look outside the pixel art somewhat ambiguous. I think if ugly things are meant to look ugly, and they do look ugly, that is mission accomplished rather than failed. [/QUOTE]
