You already gave them ticket money though.
Thing is... There isn't a reason for a Super Mario Galaxy movie to exist, and if you think about it, the only reason they did one, is because that's the one beloved Mario game people of the Z generation remember. The Super Mario Bros. 3 of this generation you could say, so of course, it's about calling your attention with that name you know, but then the movie it-self, can't replicate what made the GAME beloved, and what it stands for the franchise. It's a movie that released. And will practically just be shrugged off after they already got the money they needed. These aren't movies that need effort to be honest, they just know people will buy these, over and over again. And that's why I said I won't be watching any more of these video game movies.
There was something to be said about the 2021 Sonic movie, it had nothing to really go off of, it had to genuinely try to come up with its solutions. People expected it to be crap, but they were shocked that "it wasn't terrible". It may not have been great, but it had to try something. But starting with Sonic movie 2, they stabilished this formula that, all they need is some story beats of a certain game, maximum fan-service, and there you go! Make a sequel bait in the post-credits scene, people will buy it again. And again. And again. And again.
But all of these video game movies are basically just doing Sonic movie 2 again. They don't have to try, they found the perfect formula.
What do you even expect to watch the movies, and why do you watch them? Why not just play the games they're based on, that, made you truly love what these things are, these are things that movies can't capture. Super Mario Galaxy exists because of new ideas they had to come up with to refresh things. But the movie never had to try anything. It's not what Super Mario Galaxy is all about.
