Maybe that Mario & Luigi warping footage has driven me mad and now I'm just terminally stuck on MAXIMUM BROTHERLY ANGST but the fact that the Mario movie seems willing to go to a very emotional and sweet place with their relationship is killing me!!! Here are some Mario and Luigi-specific theories/possible moments I've been thinking about for the movie, all nicely compiled (and not just tossed into other people's inboxes, haha) - maybe they'll happen in some way, maybe they won't, but if they DO, oh man, I will be a puddle of goo in the movie theater they'll have to sweep up afterwards:
Mario opening up to Peach and Toad about Luigi, what their life was like in the past, their closeness, and his fears/anxieties about the possibility of not being able to save his brother (some version of this seems EXTREMELY likely in the fire flower scene) (and likewise, Luigi talking to his fellow prisoners about Mario and how much he misses his brother!)
Both brothers taking moments throughout the movie to think of each other and draw inner strength/resolve from that - for instance, Mario struggling with his training, feeling exhausted and hopeless, but thinking of Luigi in danger and how much his brother needs him and that giving him the burst of strength and determination he needs to finally complete the course
LIKEWISE, Luigi panicking or struggling to act in his scary predicaments but thinking of Mario and what he would do/say in situations like this and being able to keep going/stay brave because of that memory
BOWSER FIGURING OUT THE RELATION AND USING LUIGI AGAINST MARIO AT A CRITICAL MOMENT??? (I'm sorry, but it feels like the interrogation stuff has to lead SOMEWHERE) (Bowser clearly is looking for info/weak points he can use against Mario, and Luigi himself ultimately IS that weak point!!!)
This could play out in a lot of different ways - using an in-danger Luigi as bait for a trap, maybe there's some Magic Shenanigans where Kamek throws Luigi's voice to lure Mario away from the group during a battle, or maybe Bowser just taunts Mario about his brother and how Mario's too weak to save him from the torture he's endured/will endure. Whatever the case is, Mario's anger and Ultra Big Brother Instincts overriding all other common sense could cause him to act too rashly or make some serious mistakes in the heat of the moment. :(
Either brother thinking that the other is dead for any period of time and just being BROKEN but also FULL OF FIERY VENGEANCE because of it!!! I know, I know, put me in Angst Jail but Mario could get blown off Rainbow Road and presumed dead for a little while, which could get back to Luigi through Bowser or his minions, OR maybe Luigi escapes but Bowser lies to Mario and tells that he disposed of his brother already and he's too late. I could just see both of them breaking down at first but ultimately being ANGRY above all else and resolving to avenge the other, no matter what ;___; (and this would also make their eventual reunion even MORE emotional and impactful)
Speaking of, the brothers reuniting with the BIGGEST, MOST DESPERATE, CLINGING HUG YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE (this is truly all I care about, I just need the movie to get this right, PLEASE)
Bonus points if there's a big lead-up to it where they maybe they just hear each other at first, or they see one another from a far-away distance and they're just RUNNING and FIGHTING and SCRAMBLING to reach each other, calling out all the while, to the point that they can't even stop, they just TACKLE each other at full speed
(They've never been apart this long before! Ever since they can remember, they've been joined at the hip, and this whole time, it's felt like they were missing a limb, but now THEY'RE BOTH HERE and THEY'RE OKAY and there's a lot of fussing over injuries and frantic questions and THE BIGGEST, TEARIEST SMILES EVER and it finally feels like everything's really gonna be okay, even though there might still be an ongoing invasion/final battle to take care of)
After reuniting, there being a situation where they need to split up again temporarily to accomplish different goals in the name of stopping Bowser and Mario is actually the more anxious one for once who really doesn't want to let Luigi out of his sight after they've just found each other again, but Luigi takes a turn reassuring him that it's gonna be okay (and Mario is quietly impressed by how his brother seems a little braver after his ordeal)
ALSO after reuniting, there being a moment before the final battle with Bowser where Mario is self-doubting and isn't sure he can win, but Luigi doesn't understand that because ever since they were little and dealing with playground bullies, he's ALWAYS thought of Mario as a hero - this new role just fits him so well, at least in Luigi's eyes, and he knows that Mario can do this (I KNOW, I KNOW, A LITTLE CHEESY, but!! i just love the idea of Luigi hearing about/seeing his brother as The Hero and being like "yep, my big bro IS amazing and brave and the absolute best, this makes sense!")
At any point, Mario actually seeing Bowser hurt/threaten Luigi and just going ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC because of it. RIP BOWSER, YA IDIOT
Possibly related to the above, but it feels like a pretty sure thing that the final battle has to be Bowser VS Mario all the way, that's how so many games end, but! I do think Luigi could provide important assistance at one or two moments. Like maybe Bowser is startling to struggle and goes for the power star, but Luigi has already beaten him to it and manages to throw it to Mario before Bowser reaches him - but then he gets STRUCK HARD or even knocked out by Bowser and Mario's anguished reaction sets off the star's power! (I did see that somewhere else, not my original idea - the concept that the star can only be activated by an intense, pure-hearted emotion - but I love it <3)
That's all I got for now - again, even a FRACTION of these happening would be officially Too Much for my little, feeble heart. I'm just so grateful that from everything we've seen so far, the movie really does seem to be centering the brothers' relationship (even if they're not physically together for most of it) and how much they mean to each other and that is everything!

Here's my Pitch for a Luigi's Mansion movie
Opening scene is King Boo getting word of the Mario Brothers, and sending Boos to spy on them.
By now, the brothers are firmly established in the Mushroom Kingdom as the Mario Brothers, and when we first see them now, they’re putting up fliers offering their services.
But immediately, we can see that when someone stops to talk to them, everyone seems to be gravitating towards Mario. Which is fine, and even expected, as people know him as the guy that saved the Kingdom.
But it’s not long before Luigi’s insecurities rear up their ugly heads, to the point where he feels like he can’t even tell Mario about them.
What insecurities exactly? The one’s you’d expect: only being known as Mario’s brother, or the guy that got trapped in a cage that needed Mario to rescue him. Which get worse when someone makes an offhand comment that gets under his skin. It’s essentially a parallel to what their dad said to Mario: about holding Mario back now that he’s a hero.
But here’s the secret: those comments don’t really bother him. It’s already been established that Luigi has been Mario’s #1 fan since before they even knew the Mushroom Kingdom existed. If people gush over Mario more, they’re just repeating what he’s known since they were babies. Why would that kind of talk start to bother him now?
No. For Luigi’s insecurities to be as bad as we’re being shown, it has to go deeper than that.
The real fear is that one day MARIO will see that, and just decide he’s done looking out for him. You thought he was heartbroken when trapped in the cage? NOTHING compared to what happens upon thinking of that.
However long that takes, everything comes to a head when Luigi gets the notice about winning the mansion in the mail, and he decides to go check it out. 
Whether it’s because he suspects something is up or he’s too distracted by his insecurities, does not matter. What does is that he decides to go alone to prove he’s not just Mario’s little brother.
And I will emphasize this right here and now: Luigi does not blame Mario for ANY of this. He loves Mario the same as he always has, if not more, and it’s that exact love why he’s so scared of losing him.
He shrugs off Mario’s questions as to why he’s going alone, and leaves. Which then prompts Mario to check out the notice himself, and after some research, realizes Luigi’s about to walk into a trap, and runs off to try and stop him.
While all this is happening, we need two different sets of flashbacks, wherever they make sense: flashbacks of them growing up, to show how their relationship changes into what it is now. And snippets of a more recent one, with Mario telling him he’s moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, offering him a chance to come with; Luigi panicking because a) he’s still traumatized by what happened, and b) he’s scared of losing his brother again if he says no.
Eventually Luigi makes it to the mansion, and it plays out like it did in the game. I trust Nintendo’s ability to make sure it stays as true to the game as it can be. It’s still about getting rid of the painting ghosts and all that, but keeps coming back to the insecurities.
And if there's a way to add their Twin Sense to the story, preferably when Luigi finds something of Mario's, that would be AWESOME.
Mario, on his side, is not just trapped in a painting. The painting itself is essentially a pocket dimension where he can see everything that’s going on, as one of King Boo’s cruel torture tactics, but no matter how loud he screams or yells, Luigi can’t see or hear him unless in the throne room, because that’s where the physical painting actually is.
It's revealed the Boos had been observing Luigi for weeks to figure out the best way to mess with him, and while they usually just do what we’ve seen them do in the games, they tried something different because Luigi essentially did all the work for them, and enhanced his insecurities to lure him to the mansion to trap him there.
And of course, when he faces King Boo, he gets hit where it really hurts: the fallout of all those flashbacks: every time Luigi got hurt or was picked on, and Mario stepped in. Or only Moving to the Mushroom Kingdom to make Mario happy. King Boo laughing at him and saying how he’s so weak he can’t even fight his own battles, no wonder Mario got taken so easily.
Luigi starts to believe it, maybe even starts crying, I won’t object, but then he hears Mario banging on the painting, making him look up.
Whatever Mario says here is meant to get Luigi to look back again, and we see a flashback montage. Sure, Mario stepped in at first, but when Luigi got older, he started doing the same. And even had Mario teach him to defend himself, despite the fact that it scared the shit out of Mario every time he fell or got hurt. The very last flashback is of when Mario finally made him talk about moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Luigi admitted how scared he was about the whole idea. And you guessed it, Mario gives a bona fide Good Big Brother speech that ends with another Bro Hug.
And THAT is what gives Luigi the strength to get back up and kick King Boo’s ass straight back into the painting where he belongs.
Keep the game’s ending in there, or the fans will riot, then give us a Proud Big Brother moment after they’re home safe.
Then it ends with them hanging up more fliers all over the Mushroom Kingdom, but now we see there’s a new thing added to their services: Boo Hunting.
Oh yeah. And to keep with the first movie's continuity: soundtrack only has music from or before the year the game came out.
This would be November 2001, so use your imagination.

Do you think the Mario movie sequel should show conflict in the bros' relationship? I know you've said before that you do not like the idea of them having a cliche argument that ends up in them splitting up in anger but their relationship isn't without problems.
See, Mario is someone who will jump headfirst into any situation with reckless abandon and that causes problems if he's picking fights with people who are much stronger than he is, and he was lucky enough to have access to power ups to increase his strength.
But what if he jumps headfirst into a situation he cannot easily get out of? Luigi seems to be more of the voice of reason and he probably doesn't speak up as much as he should so I could see a situation where he's getting increasingly frustrated with Mario's recklessness and that could definitely cause problems.
I definitely think conflict could be in the cards, but I'd be interested in seeing it play out in a way that doesn't involve a fight or a third act breakup.
Actually, this bit of concept art by Joe Pitt comes to mind:
Tumblr media
The thing is Luigi does speak up! It's just that Mario doesn't really listen all that much– not because he doesn't value his brother's opinion, but because he gets too wrapped up in his own impulses to listen to anyone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way I see it playing out is that, while the first movie was about Mario learning what he was capable of and coming into his own, the second movie could be him figuring out how to temper his reckless, because he definitely didn't learn that in the first movie.
Tumblr media
And I imagine, with victories under his belt and Luigi at his side, Mario feels more inclined to feed his impulses than ever before.
In the meantime, Luigi is trying desperately to keep up with his brother without getting overwhelmed. While he was able to put up with Mario's shenanigans with saintly patience when they were plumbers, the constant threat of death is too much.
It comes to a head in one of two ways: 1. Mario finally bites off more than he can chew and barely gets out alive. Luigi drags him to safety, and once they're in a place where they can talk Luigi lets loose his pent-up frustration, ranting to Mario about how he never listens and nearly got himself killed. This time, however, Mario does listen. He apologizes to his brother, and continuing forward he does what he can to give Luigi agency over what they do and what battles they undertake.
2. Mario finally bites off more than he can chew, but Luigi pays the price for it, and that is enough of a lesson in and of itself for Mario to snap out of it and realize what he's been doing.

Little fic drabble I thought of (will have a part 2) some eventual Bowuigi
******************
Luigi in the Fungeon
(Taking place during the movie that I haven't seen yet so prepare for speculation)
From his cage dangling above the lava pit, its hot glow emanating with the heat to throw everything into red light, Luigi could see several of the neighboring cages swinging wildly, spinning, and some dropping down too close to the lava for comfort, only to be lifted back up while the prisoner inside screamed
It happened with the penguin king and his subjects, and the little talking star, and then Luigi's stomach dropped as he felt his own cage lowering.
It swung around and lowered much more slowly than he'd seen the others' do. It didn't stop him from giving an involuntary shriek as the chains clanked, causing him to sway.
As his cage finally halted, he heard a high, childlike giggle from just behind him. It almost sounded like the little star, but perhaps a bit younger.
His cage spun around and around before abruptly halting before a miniature sized version of that hulking dragon-turtle man that had interrogated him about Mario.
"Hi new prisoner, I'm Junior!" 
Luigi blinked at him, at a complete loss for words but unable to forget his manners so he was able to give a small wave.
The mini-dragon-turtle - Junior-  tilted his head in curiosity. He gave Luigi a long, appraising look followed by a series of sniffs through the bars all over his body. 
"You smell funny," he concluded, his little mouth curving upwards to reveal rows of small but sharp teeth. "But good too. You must worry a lot."
Luigi quirked an eyebrow. "How can you tell?" He asked. Now that he surmised he wasn't in any immediate danger, he was finding the young creature as interesting as he was finding Luigi.
"I can smell it," Junior said. "You kinda smell like my Mama. She used to worry a lot, too."
"Really?" Luigi found it hard to believe that the mother of this kid - if she looked anything like him - would worry about anything.
Junior nodded. "Yeah, about me, about Papa, about the other Koopas. She tried not to let me see but I could smell it."
Luigi removed his cap to wipe away the sweat from his forehead, fanning himself with it while he had it in his hand.
Junior didn't seem to be effected by the heat at all, but he did notice the kid's smile had slowly disappeared upon the mention of his mother. It hadn't escaped Luigi that he'd been using past tense to talk about her.
"May I ask, is your Mama around now?"
He blinked at Luigi, his gaze lowering and he shook his head.
"The bad king got her."
Bad king? Luigi hadn't seen much of this world before he was captured, but the idea of a king worse than Junior's papa gave him even more reason to sweat.
When he didn't respond, Junior continued.
"But it's okay. Papa's gonna destroy the bad Mushroom Kingdom so nobody will be hurt by them again."
Replacing his hat to his head, Luigi grasped the bars of his still-dangling cage.
"I'm sorry about that--- your mama."
Junior had been avoiding his gaze, but he looked at him then.
"Everybody says that, I mean, all the Koopas anyway. But they knew her, you didn't. Why are you sorry?"
"I don't have to have known her to be sorry for you," he answered. "I can imagine it being tough for you."
Junior sniffed, wiping his face and trying to make it look like Luigi's words hadn't made him tear up.
A pang of guilt hit him in the stomach. He hadn't meant to make the boy cry. He decided to change the subject.
"And your Papa, he's the one who put me in here?"
Junior nodded again. "Uh huh. But if he comes don't tell him I was here, okay? Papa doesn't like me coming to the dungeon by myself."
"I wanted to play 'torture' though and I don't have anyone to play with."
"So that's why you were shaking the cages around," Luigi concluded.
"It's fun!" Junior exclaimed. 
"Not for the one in the cage," he mumbled.
Junior scoffed. "Come on, they love it, right?" He gestured to the other prisoners who all jumped to attention and gave various hurried, fearful exclamations of agreement.
"See?"
Junior appeared to notice Luigi's skepticism, for he pulled out a remote control with several large red buttons, mashing one and lowering Luigi's cage to the floor of whatever Junior was standing on.
Another button pressed and the door to his cage sprang open, Junior waving him out enthusiastically.
"Here," he shoved the remote into Luigi's hands and nearly leaped into the cage, slamming the door shut and pointing back to Luigi.
"You use the remote and fly me around some. I'll show you how fun it is!"
Luigi blinked again, flabbergasted that it was this easy to be let out like this. He could escape now, easy. All he had to do was use this remote to lift Junior high enough that he couldn't follow him and boom, he was free.
His eyes flicked from the remote in his hands to the entryway Junior must have come from. It *would* be easy...
"Let's go already!" He heard Junior whine impatiently from the cage. Luigi turned back to see the boy bouncing and swinging the cage himself, anxiously waiting Luigi to start the game.
It would be easy, but then what? Where would he go, where could he go? And how would he get there?
It wouldn't be fair of him - even if he did manage to get out of this Darkland place - to leave all of these others behind.
And this Junior kid--- whatever his papa had done to him, Luigi truly felt a kind of sympathy for him. He was just a kid, a kid who'd lost his mom. It wouldn't be right to trick him or betray his trust however misguided.
So, feeling like he might regret not taking the chance later, Luigi pressed several buttons in succession and flung Junior about the dungeon, spinning and dropping him in the same way he had been doing.
He probably should not have been surprised when all of the screaming the boy did was of delight, interspersed with wild, high pitched squeals of laughter.
After a few minutes of watching Junior fly and dive and scream with joy, Luigi almost forgot where he was.
Almost.
He was reminded quite abruptly when a large yellow Koopa guard took hold of him and wrenched the remote from his hands.
"What are you doing?" The Koopa barked at him, Luigi instinctively cowering in his grip. "What do you think you were doing to the prince?"
Junior's sounds of enjoyment slowly died as he became aware of what was happening.
One of the flying Koopas zoomed up to stop the cage from spinning, aiding its descent back onto solid ground.
"It's okay, Junior," the flying guard tried to comfort the boy who only whined and rolled his eyes. "We'll get you out of there and this human will be swiftly dealt with."
"But we were just playing," Junior whined. "He was gonna go back in the cage when we were done, honest."
Luigi made to speak up and agree with him, but the guard holding him smacked him across the back of his head, knocking off his hat.
"Quiet you!" The guard said. "Junior, you're lucky we got here when we did. Who knows what this human was planning?"
The flying guard came up beside his fellow, taking hold of one of Luigi's arms. "Yeah. We'll have to take him to your papa now and see what's to be done with him."
As the two koopas began to drag him away, Luigi saw Junior pick up his hat, scrunching it in his claws as tears filled his eyes.
Luigi wasn't sure if Junior was fearing for him or for himself, but he did know that he was about to come face to face with this koopa king once again.

just an observation to share, maybe my hearing is awful and this is not true, but I have listened to the Mario & Luigi clip probably north of 50 times at this point (i'm TOTALLY normal about this movie, i am NOT drowning in a sea of emotion at all times about the sweetest brothers of all time, I SWEAR) and I feel very convinced that Mario doesn't actually say "It's gonna be ok/all right as long as we're together." I believe he says: "I've got you! Nothing can hurt us as long as we're together." Which honestly, I like better and even has a slightly stronger vibe of "we've been treated badly by people in the past but we've always had each other to turn to and lean on no matter what and that's made all the difference." And now, for the first time in their lives, they suddenly won't have that and i cry and cry and CRY
I really hope this clip is the one being shared over the weekend too because 1) pls don't release any more footage, MY FEEBLE HEART CAN'T TAKE IT AND I JUST WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE AT THIS POINT, and 2) I just want to know what the actual lines are for 100% certain, my brain is rattled from trying to tune out the much louder talking, haha.
We're all totally normal about this movie 8D Nothing abnormal whatsoever here.
Ok, so I went back to listen to it again, and someone has managed to subtitle the whole thing, and it looks like it's the correct lines!
(bold text is the 'new' lines)
"We'll be fine! We'll be ok!"
"How is it gonna be ok?!"
"I'm telling you, everything's gonna be alright as long as we're together!"
So yeah I'll admit I've had a feeling that I got the line wrong. Other people have been adding their own ideas, but yeah this one seems to be the official version.
At the time my ears picked up what I thought it was saying (difficult trying to hear past loud talking, as you are aware!) And since then my brain had been getting mixed up with what I thought I heard, and what other people were suggesting they heard.
Oh but my heart if it had been "Nothing can hurt us" 😭 It just fits. Maybe it will appear later in a different way.
I do hope this is the clip being shown on Saturday. I've heard some speculation that it will be more of the DK fight, but I really hope it isn't. We've seen enough in my opinion to get us enticed. Why do they need to spoil even more of it? Just let us see it when the movie comes out.

Tumblr media
A 3rd AU anyone???
I joke, this is just a mock-up of an idea that popped into my head, I probably won't do too much with it seeing as I still have Viral Virus and Meme Plaza to take care of but still :3
So I've jokingly called this "Smg3- I shrunk our friends-" (obviously a reference to a movie I've never watched but see referenced a lot)
Basically, the cast except Smg4, Smg3 and somehow Mario get poofed back to when they were kids
Obviously some of them are gonna have to be speculation cause they never actually were kids, like Saiko

Absolutely nothing can stop Mario now. He's fought his way through the airship, he's found Luigi in the middle of a jailbreak, and he's finally about to reunite with his brother. What could go wrong?
Bowser happens to be nearby, though. And he's just had an epiphany about his new foe's biggest weakness.
(Alternatively: A Hypothetical Version of Mario & Luigi's Reunion in the Mario Movie That Would Cause Me Irreparable Psychic Damage.)
(I decided to clean this up a little and post it on AO3 too! A slightly rougher version is still available here on tumblr, but if you'd prefer this format, here you go!)

If they made a Super Princess Peach Movie
Would Bowser be smart enough to know to put Mario and Luigi into the same cell until it was time to fight Peach?
I like to think yes. When that game came out, they'd fought so many times already, enough to know their strengths and weaknesses.
AND from what i saw in the game, his goal wasn't to torture, just imprison and leave the Mushroom Kingdom defenseless.
If he wanted them to stay quiet, he should definitely know the best way to do that is keep them together.
Alternatively: if he DIDN'T already know that, Mario would immediately start screaming and yelling until he did.

I know there's some speculation that the next Mario movie is going to be a spinoff rather than a sequel since Shigeru Miyamoto worded the announcement as "a new animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros."
Tumblr media
However, in that same announcement, the CEO of Illumnation said the movie will be "a return to The Super Mario Brothers," so consider this:
The specific wording wasn't a hint that the movie's going to be a spinoff, but a hint that it is going to be loosely based on "Super Mario World."

With the Mario sequels being inevitable and the talk about a possible trilogy, I wanted to share some ideas to what I think those movies could take inspiration from.
Note: this is just speculation and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.
Also, since there are ALOT of games in the Mario universe, I combined some of the games to bring as much of this franchise to the big screen as possible.
Option nr 2:
Super Paper Mario
Tumblr media
Some of my favorite trilogis have simular patterns. The first movie is the one who gives you the basic structure of the movies (the tone, the style, the characthers and more), the second movie keeps the style but goes into darker tones themes (for exemple death and genocide), and then the third movie is a little more light hearted comedy driven but with an emotional conclution to the characters. All combined into one big story.
With these in mind I think SUPER PAPER MARIO is a fitting story for the second film. Not only does it have high stakes, but it lets all of our main cast (Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser) have importance and good moments.
Tumblr media
It also fit well with the big main story of super mario bros, which is the bond between Mario and Luigi. This story could put there brotherly love for eashother to the test and we could also see how difrent kind of love is showned (from friendship to romantic to family and even love that isn't reciprocate) with the chaos and pure heart at the center.
The story goes the same as it does in the game with small changes, like building up luigis character more and a look into Tippy and count Blecks background. Even go hammy with some of the bad guys personality

So, that Zelda movie...
I was just watching a thing on Youtube about the upcoming Zelda movie - just a fan speculating on what he wants to see. He made mention of how, over the years, Zelda-fandom has, by and large, imagined a potential Zelda movie as animated rather than live action. I actually have some thoughts on that - why Nintendo probably chose the live action medium. I imagine that it is because they want Zelda be to be more serious than the Mario movie. (I have yet to see the Mario movie...). The "cartoony" CGI style fits with a Mario story, wherein Zelda? The Zelda games have a very epic feel and while, I, myself, would have loved to see a good anime movie of it (as in, the ultimate dream for a Zelda movie is Studio Ghibli, am I right?) I can just imagine how some of the talks / speculation with Nintendo went regarding medium-decision. The Legend of Zelda is a game series that is more popular in the West than in Japan. They probably had in mind Americans as the main fanbase and there remains a depressing trend in America concerning animation. Loads of us love it and understand it as a serious medium - but we often have to find our serious, mature and generally epic animated films and movies from a foreign market (mostly anime). Most studios in the United States seem to still think of animated fare as "children's / family entertainment" or else, the adult stuff, which started catching on in the 1990s due to the success of The Simpsons as "comedy sitcom with edgy humor." That is the dichotomy of Western animation - either it's "for the family / kid-geared" or it's got raunchy sex jokes in it and isn't particularly deep. And those Western animated series that DID get deep? Still with that kind of edgy humor. (Seriously, I do think that Bojack Horseman is one of the deepest shows I've ever seen, but it still was "wacky adult edgy humor sitcom" half the time and even most of the time before it got to the deeper stories it wanted to tell). And I believe that Nintendo, in conjunction with Sony? Whomever... on the idea of making a film based on a very beautiful, sweeping, epic fantasy game series (with a notoriously critical fanbase) couldn't risk the constraint of having it be relegated to being marketed as "kiddie," nor did it fit the other big Western animation market. And they probably thought that homegrown anime would be a hard sell for the American market, only accessible to geeks rather than a mainstream audience. And so... they chose live action in hopes of capitalizing on successes of recent live action + cgi fantasy series such as the Lord of the Rings films, the Game of Thrones TV series, The Witcher and similar. Probably a wise decision. Unlike the youtuber I was watching, I hope they actually use Adult Link in it, although, like said youtuber, I hope they use an unknown actor. I also want him to be soft-spoken and given only a few words, because that's everybody's idea of Link (unless they want to go with the buckwild version that everybody's been playing in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom lately)... but I really, really don't want to see a live action link torturing those poor koroks.
