Was she even really that Pro-MAGA?

From (((their))) perspective, yes. Anyone who partially supports even an iota of something that conflicts with their current agenda is "literally Hitler".

The moment i saw her, i knew she was full of shit.
The moment Jason Fuckfacer went after her, i knew she was right winged.
"My job is being on the side of the truth" - no your job is licking the boots of every TDS riddled piece of shit like yourself you can find, urinalist.
Same thing for Little Cuckriboh and his ilk - they would still defend her if she was a good feminazi never trumper, and they would have crucified her sooner if they knew she was a Blue Lives Matter/anti man in dress.

Yeah, the only time these game journos ever do anything resembling proper journalism is when it might hurt their ideological opponents. I believe Schreier tried very hard not to find anything wrong with Chelsea Van Valkenberg, not that he would have reported on anything he did find

>stronk independent Peach being better than Mario

And I'm sorry, but Pratt just sounds too lazy in this roll. Too half-assed.

So Luigi is the damsel in distress? At least before they free him and complete the "fellowship" from SMB2? Whatever.
The bigger heresy is that Peach is apparently never a damsel, which wastes a perfectly fine opportunity to use a "... but the princess is in another castle *camera swoops to an even bigger and scarier-looking castle in the distance*" gag.

The (apparently) extended scenes involving Donkey Kong and Mario Kart makes me fear this is a bit... unfocused. It's like they don't expect this to get a sequel, so they decided to put in all the Mario references.
I guess the finale will involve everyone playing Mario Party.

The kids will love it (because they're too stupid to know better) and I think that's really all they care about

I think it's more that they're just trying to cash in hard on the 'that's a thing I recognise' style of Hollywood movie making

Charles Martinet not voicing Mario no mo'

I guess Martinet's done so many recordings as Mario's voice that Nintendo figures they needn't continue paying him

I mean, Mario generally utters a bunch of stock phrases anyway. 'Wahoo', 'Let's-a go!' 'Mamma mia'. Do you really need AI for that?

Plus there are so many recordings that I don't really see the need for Martinet to continue doing new recordings

It's a cheaper cost-effective alternative anyway.
