It's really a movie for adults.
There's really things in The Incredibles that kids can't even really understand.
This movie tries to do that for the adult stuff strictly through nostalgia.
strictly through your relationship with the Mario Brothers game.
They're not trying to tell any story about Mario's existential dread.
The father and son stuff is played a little bit, but it's like, hey, remember the water world that you played in 1991?
Look, here it is on screen.
And I'm going to be honest with you.
I thought it was cool.
Some of that stuff works.
Like, I thought it was cool.
I thought it was cool to see somebody in the fucking, the toad suit, the frog suit.
I thought for the most part it was cool.
It will be interesting to see, because this movie's going to make a shit ton of money, and there'll be a sequel.
It'll be interesting to see how they approach the sequel.
A lot of the problems that people are saying that they have with this movie, they're saying they have with the first one.
This is way more cynical.
It's not even close.
And we could go back and talk about the story.
Jack Black's performance in the first movie was so unexpected, so funny.
