I don't have any issues with Chris Pratt. I certainly don't wish any harm on him. But I will say...they did Charles Martinet INCREDIBLY dirty. - (How you could even think about casting a generic Hollywood actor over the official voice of Mario is really a headscratcher). - I get it. Marquee name. Slapping Chris Pratt's name on a poster "means something". But, this would have meant the world to Charles Martinet. It was his role. It's just a load of corporate bullshit at the end of the day. Voice actors need to be cherished in the same way that physical actors are. It's not fair at all for them to be replaced when "the big one" comes around, just because their name is "not marketable". 

 

Also, this is a good time to address the obsession with making every single movie this kind of tongue-in-cheek, generic humor. Chris Pratt is definitely more suited for this brand of comedy. Arguably someone like Charles Martinet would have struggled with the role in the way they have chose to represent it. BUT...how did we get here anyway? Why does every animated movie need to have this "Minions" humor?

 

For the record, the movie looks great. I'm sure I will laugh plenty while watching it. - I don't expect it to be bad. Honestly, I expect it to be great. BUT...the generic humor situation is real. I don't think every movie needs to be like that. (Same with the generic "epic" stuff). Feels like every "kids" movie these days does little more than combine Minions humor with over-the-top "epic" cinematography. 

 

 

*Upon close inspection of IMDB, I do see that Charles Martinet is featured as a voice to some degree. Not sure how he will be used. But...at least he wasn't snubbed entirely. STILL...I don't agree with it.

I feel like the Avatar franchise should just be video games. Like...they should have made the first movie, then put all that time that they spent on the upcoming sequels into developing a really good video game in the style of God of War, or Horizon. Then just expanded on that. - I really don't think people want to see 5 damn Avatar movies. I haven't seen the second one yet, but I don't think we even needed a second one.
