Fans Can't Tear Their Eyes Away From The Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer For The Wrong Reason

Not long after the "Super Mario Bros. Movie" trailer reached YouTube, fans began voicing what they like about it and what they didn't. While visually, the movie seems like it sticks pretty close to the video games, people couldn't help but point out that something about a handful of the character designs just didn't click. "Everything LOOKED great, but something about Mario/Luigi's eyes/face were just.... off," commented Reddit user u/BornByFireandFlames, and they were far from alone in their sentiment.

"This Mario is good, it's great... there is just... something. Can't put my finger on it," added u/mundozeo, noting that while it's different, it's not necessarily bad. They even compare it to the original Sonic design from 2019, which fans were quick to call out for being absolutely atrocious, resulting in Paramount delaying the "Sonic the Hedgehog" movie so the VFX team could make some changes. Speaking of comparisons, u/IRandaddyI even likened Mario to Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer) from the animated favorite "Wreck-It Ralph."

With these small design hiccups that we'll all likely grow accustomed to as the movie's premiere draws nearer in mind, it's important to remember that when it comes to reimagining the world of the "Super Mario Bros." games at the movies, things could've turned out much worse.
