Chris Pratt’s debut as Mario is like a beast that has been unleashed on the first trailer. For years Fans grow up listening to Charles Martinet as Mario’s voice actor. He have a think Italian accent and has the iconic cartoonish voice. Chris Pratt’s Mario sounded like Chris Pratt sounded like Star-Lord and Owen Grady. To make it simple he sounded like Chris Himself. He didn’t try to sound like Charles Martinet because I guess it is Production’s decision.
My speculation is that they Chris Pratt’s distinctive speaking style because he is such a well-known actor. Him trying to Sound like Mario will hide the actor recognition. Despite previous efforts to Cancel Culture him, the fact that he is now a star in multiple movie franchises is evidence that his name is still well known.
Super Mario is one of the most Iconic Video Game characters of all time. He is even in the Guinness Book of records for most popular videogame character.
When The first trailer of Suicide Squad got released years ago, Some fans got upset that Margot Robbie doesn’t sound like Arlene Sorkin or Tara Strong. Fans eventually got used to her interpretation of Harley. The trailer last year had Chris Pratt tried Italian accent but Universal Studios eventually decided to go to a different direction.
Chris Pratt as Super Mario
Fans are divided on how they feel about Chris Pratt’s interpretation of the iconic character. The movie is still under production so we don’t know what changes could happen in the next few months. Will they stick with this version or will he try to sound like Charlie?
Chris Pratt saying he worked so hard on the Mario voice only for it to sound like Chris Pratt is the funniest thing

This comment reminds of the fans celebrating when Colleen O’Shaughnessey reprises her role as Tails in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the movie. Some fans would have preferred Charles Martinet.
I am not sure who is to blame about this because I had seen Chris Pratt Video on Instagram and he can sound like the Mario he know. I think it is indeed Marketing who did this. They wan’t the casuals to recognize it is Chris Prat.
He lied, He promised on this video he will work hard to sound like Mario.

People have right to be angry at him and not just the powers there is.
I am really excited! The usage of penguins and the abundance of easter eggs in the background give this game a genuine sense of being built with love for the Super Mario series. I am in love and am eagerly awaiting the release of the movie. I’m pretty impressed by Jack Black’s performance as Bowser; I’ll give Chris Pratt’s performance as Mario a little more time, but aside than that, I adore the animation; it looks burning hot.
Charles Martinet deserves better. He is Mario all his life and they give the to role an actor who cannot give him justice.
People, Give him a chance, that small trailer doesn’t define the whole movie. Casual audiences might get annoyed by the Italian accent so they decided to go with that voice.
He didn’t even bother to get the accent right.:mad:??
Is it lost on any of you that Nintendo could very well be mocking its fans with this trailer? What you heard was just Pratt’s voice, unadorned. Or maybe it was only a test trailer to gauge interest. Now that they have received all of the feedback that is necessary, they may concentrate on improving the areas that have been identified. Who here endured the first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer nightmare? Because of this, the film will have to be postponed or put on hold while they search for the ideal Mario.
What I don’t understand is why the original voice actor, Charles Martinet, who deserves this more than anybody to play Mario, wasn’t cast in the role of Mario in the first REAL Mario movie.
I mean, Chris Pratt’s fine and all, but the guy who voiced Mario in the first place would have been perfect for this. Charles Martinet is in the movie but they gave him a different role.
The movie may fail because of Chris Pratt.
Honestly, they can’t find anybody that sounds like Mario?
It’s horrible to listen to that voice. Who’s Genitalia did Chris Pratt devoured to get this role?
What the heck were they thinking when they cast Chris Pratt? Jack Black, a Hollywood legend, truly does his best as Bowser and sounds fantastic in the role. But alas, Chris Pratt once more plays…Chris Pratt, because Chris Pratt.

I’m also wondering why he wasn’t cast in the role… He deserves it more.
Chris Pratt sounding like Chris Pratt. This actor will never win an Oscar.
