mayro and loogi movie 2023 let’s-a arrive

MOTHERFUCKIN UUHHHHH

MARIO BROS MOVIE THOUGHTS

it’s long, i talk about luigi a lot. and there are spoilers 

THE NOT GREAT STUFF

not enough luigi

where was luigi in the whole like second act where WAS he

idk missed opportunity for some development while he was captured. he could’ve interacted more with the other prisoners. or kamek & bowser. i feel like kamek taunting him about how bowser’s gonna kill the hell out of mario or something would’ve raised the emotional stakes a bit, like instead of sitting there waiting to be rescued luigi could be wanting to rescue mario himself 

he kinda just didn’t have any lines after getting captured, too....gimme something, movie.......he talked back to spike so easily, a little bit of defiance at some point would’ve been neat ;-; 

i saw one brilliant take that was like, bowser should’ve kept luigi around and “consulted” him about who mario is, and they’d both get just the teensiest more development that way, with both airing out their own insecurities. bowser thinking (knowing) he’s not good enough for peach and luigi wanting to be more like the brother he’s always counting on

luigi making clear he wants to be brave for once->more impact when he shields mario at the end

i was hoping for a prison break i’m gonna be real

and don’t get me wrong i LOVE kidnapping stories but i HATE it when the kidnapped isn’t allowed to do anything. wish they’d given luigi more flexibility to at least TRY something instead of essentially throwing him aside, y’know?

idk man just more luigi. 

also, pacing not good. pacing iffy. maybe bad

coming off the heels of the perfect pacing and flawless balancing of an ensemble that was puss in boots, i think moving some stuff around could’ve made room for my boy. they coulda done it.

specifically, the pacing was WAY too fast. i love when movies let emotions really sink in. luigi’s little flashback scene was really nice, more stuff like that pls

did peach ever even tell mario her name i forgot

NOT the bowser musical number i DREAMT of. hilarious af but i wanted A SONG. A BANGER. A 90′s DISNEY VILLAIN BOP

not a fan of the played out peach/bowser forced marriage stuff but it’s mario what are you gonna do

no luigi power-ups what’s up with that

the freaking illumination dog design threw me off so badly i was almost brought out of the mario immersion. i was thinking nothing could be bad enough to make me not excited to be sitting in that theater and then the fucking dog showed up. straight out of secret life of pets. it also should’ve been a scarier big dog. (his nod of approval at the end was good though 100/10)

and look mario’s a cutie pie, a sweetheart, wanna squish his lil cheeks, i loved him being ABSOLUTELY terrified of bowser when they met because who the fuck wouldn’t be, but in the end luigi is still so much more interesting to me 8′D

NO BOWSER JR. CAMEO?????

why the FUCK didn’t bowser and luigi kiss

THE GREAT STUFF

luigi

luigi’s voice

luigi’s pathetic little meeps and yelps and being so squishable

luigi & mario

mario & luigi

THEY WERE SO GODDAMN SWEET AND CUTE AND GOOD

mario tearing through the alleys like a beast and just. instinctively opening gates and leaving pathways for luigi. not in a “hurry up and pull your weight” kind of way, but like. a doting, considerate way that showed he just wanted to make things easier for his brother. i was crying screaming they were just so soft

i did NOT expect to see their family. that’s the kind of grounding, humanizing scene i was hoping for

luigi trying to eat. let him eat

mario playing kid icarus. he’s besties with pit in subspace. pit/mario friendship real

the luma

luigi doing a mic drop with his phone and just going O-O when it breaks

all the poses. all the music cues. all the mario kart. i’m a relatively new fan of mario ok i didn’t grow up with any of the games besides luigi’s mansion--

KING BOO CAMEO BTW AAAAYYYY

--but even i was squealing at all the references. like, all the moves from the games are there. down to the way mario and luigi run. and all the power-ups, and the enemies, it’s ALL THERE

but especially that mario kart scene, that’s one game i play religiously so the part where they’re choosing what their karts look like TICKLED me gdfksld

DIDDY KONG DIDDY KONG DIDDY KONG

yo were mario and donkey kong kinda.....were they like.....*flips hand* y’know.....?

action scenes were all stellar. had no right to go that hard. 

blue shell being a relentless, vicious force of evil

peach power-ups

peach’s wedding dress

peach in general 

toad and his kart of choice

“lu”

“you can’t be scared all the time, luigi” “you’d be surprised”

“my dad thinks i’m a joke too” “well your dad is RIGHT”

a lot of people don’t want mario and peach to ever end up together, and as a rabid hater of zelda/link i COMPLETELY understand and could not be more sympathetic. but i do ship mario and peach so i personally really liked their little flirty moments 

luigi bringin mario some spaghetti 

nice little snippets of characters like bowser and dk having underlying problems. leaves lot open for sequels n spinoffs.........i’m sure that totally wasn’t their intention...........

me: “if mario doesn’t grab bowser by the tail, twirl him around and throw him, then i don’t wanna know about it”

movie: *has mario and luigi do this TOGETHER*

me: “a    h”

bringing the fight to brooklyn had me so excited and i don’t even know why

THE 80′S SONGS HELLO???

bowser’s castle looking like a rave like in the og games

nervous bowser

the 4 hour long sex scene between luigi and bowser was so tastefully done, i was impressed and moved 

memory bad but i WILL probably add MORE

[gnocchighoul]

Could we perhaps get the other brother's relationship with Tater Tot please? 👉👈

Anon,,,,,,, you absolutely can, i am Always down to talk about miss tater 🥺💗

(Don’t know Tater Tot? She’s Lucifer and MC’s pet kitten chimera from my fic, Operation Hot Potato)

~

Mammon

Mammon is lowkey freaked out by Tater Tot.

He doesn’t know how to treat her. Can he pet her? Should he not? What does it mean when she rubs her cheeks all over him but then nibbles his hand?! Is her tail supposed to move like that?!

(A few days after MC brought the lil white kitten home, Tater somehow wormed her way into Mammon’s bedroom and curled up on top of his bare back while he was sleeping. When he woke up and realized that it was her, he freaked the fuck out lol)

He ends up talking to her like she’s a person and it’s honestly hilarious. He literally talks to her like she’s a grown ass human adult when anybody else is around--if he even spares a glance her way, that is. 

Around everybody else, he pretends to be indifferent towards her (at least at first)

BUT.

As soon as he’s alone with the cat.

He treats her like she is his BABY. Literally. He literally holds her like a baby and just absolutely gushes over her. He’s a cooing mess. It’s lowkey embarrassing. He doesn’t care.

Tater Tot loves him though. She likes to groom his hair (lowkey she thinks that he’s her kitten because of their matching white hair lmaooo)

Levi

Thinks she’s cute but is Terrified of her getting into his room and chewing on all of his cords, so he keeps his distance. 

Doesn’t want the weird cat thinking that he likes it or anything, cause then it’ll get attached to him and demand entrance into his room. Blegh.

His plan backfires.

It doesn’t take long for Tater Tot to become curious about the one household member who won’t give her any attention, so she sets out on a quest to discover why. 

For a week straight, Tater follows him everywhere. She stalks him from the shadows, from around corners and doorways, trying to understand the weird resident otaku--trying to figure out why the hell he won’t give her any love. 

Lowkey she scares the shit out of him during that week. He just catches glimpses of her out of the corner of her eye--he starts to think that he’s losing his mind.

Until one day, he opens the door to his room and she ZOOMS inside before he can stop her.

And Levi screams. He’s Terrified that she’s going to destroy everything he loves (or make a snack out of his cables and electrocute herself--Lucifer will kill him if that happens.)

He turns around, expecting the cat to already be wrecking shit, and--

She’s just sitting in his tub. 

Lounging on his pillows (not the expensive dakimakura, though, just the normal ones) and staring at him with an expression that’s weirdly smug but also very content.

They quickly come to an agreement after that, and Tater becomes his gaming buddy. (She mostly just sits in his lap and snoozes, but it’s about the principle.)

Satan

Do I even need to say that he loves Tater Tot? Because he does. He loves her so fucking much.

But he also has beef with her.

He just can’t wrap his head around how smitten Tater is with Lucifer. Seriously, the damn cat loves that jerk--he just doesn’t get it.

Like lowkey it pisses him off but he just can’t stay angry at her--especially not when she rolls over and shows him her lil belly, or lets him squish her pink lil toe beans.

Satan and MC compete to see who can spoil her the most. 

He’s basically Tater Tot’s rich aunt that constantly buys her presents. It’s something new pretty much every day--a new cat tree, toys, clothes, snacks--

With MC’s permission, he even takes Tater to pet stores and will let the fluffy little baby choose her own presents.

His bedroom is basically one big playground for Tater to explore--but only AFTER she learns how to control her fire-breathing tendencies. 

He loves her but he fears for the safety of his books.

(Also, he totally steals her away from MC and Lucifer as often as she will let him) 

(It’s a part of his plan to annoy MC so much, that they’ll convince Lucifer to let him get his own cat. Preferably one that doesn’t sneeze fireballs.)

(Which eventually it works)

Asmo

Asmo is thrilled to have a cat in the house because now he can appeal to an entirely new community on Devilgram, lol

He definitely makes her an account and they have weekly photoshoots. She becomes a pro model in no time at all (thanks to his absolutely wonderful mentoring, of course)

He quickly discovers that Tater Tot is just as obsessed with his bath as he is, and he’s shocked but not surprised because who wouldn’t love his bath? 

She also likes to sit on his vanity and watch him apply makeup, and he decides that he loves her because of it. 

He talks to her all the time. Tater Tot knows more secrets about him than anybody else in the Devildom. 

He gets pet-safe nailpolish and gives her weekly manicures. (sidenote, nail polish is toxic to real cats, so please don’t actually do this) (Miss Tater is fictional and also not Actually a cat so it’s okay for her sdfghjkl)

Honestly Asmo loves Tater Tot, but he has one gripe about her: she gets hair EVERYWHERE.

Beel

Diavolo help him, he is so soft for this cat.

Tater Tot very quickly realizes that Beel always has snacks, and he very quickly becomes one of her favorite demons because of it.

MC tries so hard to keep Tater Tot on a feeding schedule (she’s a little glutton--they think it has something to do with how she spent the first 2 months of her life on the streets) but Beel just. Is not helpful xD

After being fed, Tater will go straight to Beel and pretend that she’s starving, and he falls for it every. single. Time.

It’s a good thing that she isn’t a real cat, otherwise she would probably be SO chonky dfghjklkjhgf

Tater likes to stand on everyone’s shoulders, but Beel is her favorite because of how tall he is. He’s learned how to stand very still because sometimes she’ll stand up on his shoulders with her front paws on top of his head, just to experience The Tall.

Belphie

:D

If Tater Tot can’t be found causing chaos with MC or pestering Lucifer (or being spoiled by Satan) then it’s pretty much guaranteed that she’s napping with Belphie. 

She especially looooves napping in the hood of his sweater. 

When she’s still small, he’ll sometimes forget that she’s even there--she’s just so tiny and light!!

If he has to leave the house, he won’t think anything of it (half the time just completely forgetting that she’s curled up in his hood) and he’ll be like,,, checking out at a store when the cashier is suddenly like “um,,, sir?” and Tater just meeps in his ear.

(meanwhile Mammon and MC are tearing apart the house of lamentation looking for her)

He totally has at least two cat-pouch-sweaters. 

Belphie loves her. Finally, he has a reliable nap buddy.
