Is it possible to make a good movie based on the Mario universe?
If so, what would it be about?
Mario has to recover various McGuffins from Bowser and his cronies. Cue a bunch of chase/battle scenes involving fire flowers, the feather, mushrooms, caps, all leading up to the climactic battle where Mario gets the star.
Lotr type setting. Medieval fantasy save the princess from a dragon while fighting various beasts. He isn't a knight. Just a farmer with a crush
Same could be said for Zelda...but they could change that with a futuristic/modern setting

I live action one? Probably not. A animated one? Yeah, sure, would be awesome. What it would be about? Anything, really, just make a adventure with Mario and you will be good. If you want to make something more epic or a trilogy, look the Mario RPG games for inspiration.

If they ever make another mario movie this is the script synopsis. Perfect balance between nostalgia wanking, action porn and total lack of plot.

i unironically like this movie too, but the production sounded insane. imo it was a really interesting way to adapt a videogame with such a basic story

Honestly if it wasn't the fact that they had to turn it into a kids movie there is nothing wrong with that movie. The premise was pretty frigging unique and original, plus visually it was fucking fantastic.

Movie opens with Mario and Luigi working on a sink reminiscing about their former profession in a family owned circus as trapeze artists (that would explain why they're so good at running and jumping and why Mario owned a gorilla) somehow they get sucked into a pipe and land in the Mushroom Kingdom. There they meet the Toad people who say their Princess has been kidnapped by Bowser and they need to collect 8 stars from 8 distinct locations (because it's always stars) in order to enter Bowser's enchanted castle and save the Princess.

>he's a farmer
He's a fucking plumber. Mario is a plumber it's why he can jump in tubes

>what would it be about?
Mario gets cucked by a black man. He later discovers it was a future version of himself who had undergone a surgical experiment by the US military to turn him into a super soldier, but he was accidentally turned into a soul brother instead and got sucked into a time warp pipe while escaping his captors.

Yes, it possible. It's just not possible to make a good LIVE ACTION movie based on the mario universe.
It'd have to be animated like Frozen or Finding Dory.
