Regular actors should stick to regular acting and leave voice acting to voice actors.
Is this a hot take?
Chris Pratt as Mario was when a lot of people went "wtf why?"
A lot of people wouldn't even know about it if Chris Pratt wasn't in it
A lot of people would not have known about Mario? 🤨
Oh man, the idea that you consider the worst Chris to be a bigger draw than Mario. Wow
I think it's more about drawing other audiences. Kids and gamers will absolutely watch Mario. If you cast Pratt, you could probably pull marvel fans as well. Using the og Mario voice actor may miss out on those sales
Again he's the worst Chris. He's not a draw for anybody. Great actors can't be draws. That ain't him.
I think you highly underestimate the cultural catchet of Mario.
Too much of a hot take for the hot take post?
I wouldn't call it a hot take, just kind of a silly one, akin to saying the Nike logo isn't that recognizable.
I was talking to someone about that movie, and I brought up Chris Pratt. They didn't know who he voiced in the movie.
