Movie https://www.geekfeed.com/hilarious-new-spot-for-the-super-mario-bros-movie/ Tue, 14 Feb 2023 16:02:29 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=73368 A lot of Nintendo fans are gearing up for the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie this April, and Illumination Entertainment has decided to ride along the Super Bowl hype with a new TV spot. The spot essentially plays out like an in-universe ad for Mario and Luigi’s plumbing service, and there’s a neat Easter Egg for longtime Super Mario fans.

Check it:

As some fans online have pointed out, the voice of the woman in the ad is actually provided by Jeannie Elias, the original Princess Peach (or Princess Toadstool) in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

Another crazy detail that fans spotted in the trailer is that you can actually see the color of the green screen on Mario and Luigi presumably from when they were shooting the sequence:

Besides that, you can see that a lot of the original character designs from the games were used for Mario and Luigi’s plumbing service, and we also have a hint at the iconic Super Mario theme, which was also played during the scene where Mario is introduced to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Though a lot of people were originally apprehensive to the casting of Chris Pratt as Mario, it looks like the film is going to be one great animated action adventure. Besides the fact that a lot of the film looks great, we also have a lot of Easter Eggs pointing back to the original game, from boss levels to all kinds of other Super Mario charactrs. They even found a way to work Donkey Kong into the film.

Catch The Super Mario Bros. Movie when it hits theaters on April 7.

]]> New Super Bowl Banner for the Flash has New Looks at Both Flashes https://www.geekfeed.com/new-super-bowl-banner-for-the-flash/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 11:54:33 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=72729 The upcoming Flash movie promises two new suits for Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen—one more streamlined suit that the Justice League one, and another one made out of a Michael Keaton batsuit.

The first trailer is set to drop this February at the Super Bowl, and we have a new banner that gives us a look at both Flashes. Check this out:

We don’t know exactly where the new Flash costume comes from, but the suit definitely only looks good from certain angles. A lot of the suit we’ve seen so far have admittedly been kind of goofy, but it some shots, it does look pretty amazing.

I am actually more partial to the improvised suit, because a lot of its design tells a story from the spray-painted lightning bolts to the cut off ‘ears’. I guess I’ve always been a sucker for messy, DIY suits from the Ironheart Mk. 1 suit in Black Panther 2 to Peter Parker’s homemade outfit from Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Going back to The Flash though, here has been word going around that test screenings have been overwhelmingly positive. With James Gunn and Peter Safran planning a huge overhaul of the franchise, it’s curious how The Flash movie is going to end, especially with all the characters it was allegedly setting up.

I guess we’ll just have to wait for the movie to find out what happens.

Super Bowl Sunday takes place on Feb. 12. The Flash is set to come out in theaters June 16, 2023.
