as a screenwriter i can't watch movies normally
anyway here are two scenes i would add to the mario movie for more comedic effect bc yeah it was funny, but it could be funnier:
MARIO MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD
i wish they used luigi more so most of these are luigi centric lmao
- the scene where bowser is practicing asking peach to marry him, it would be funnier if luigi was the one used as the stand-in peach
- this would introduce the opportunity to have luigi say something along the lines of "really? that's what you're going with?"
- this could add a funny, short sideplot where luigi teaches bowser how to approach peach, since he's a human and knows humans
- there could be a lot of silly shenanigans there and it would be a fun little break from the action of mario's scenes
- after peach is threatened into marrying bowser, i would have loved if she got to meet luigi
- she's heard so much about him from mario and i think it would be a really sweet scene for them to meet each other
- she would tell him what happened to mario and luigi could reassure her that he'll be alright. he's always been the strong one.
- peach would then be called to walk down the aisle and, when luigi sees how distressed she is, comes up with a plan.
- we cut to the bride walking down the aisle, the veil hiding her face. a fun little callback to those mario comics where luigi takes peach's place :)
- meanwhile peach is hard at work freeing the prisoners and being a general badass bc i love her
