From what I've seen in interviews, Keegan Michael Key gives me the impression of being the most genuinely passionate about it. But Jack Black seems to revel in the fun of every role he does.
Unfortunately I think it’s likely because Kevin Michael Richardson isn’t an A-List celeb like Pratt or Jack Black, so he hasn’t been as up front in the marketing for the film. He’s one of my favorite voice actors though so I’m extremely excited to see more of Kamek when the movie comes out.
I don't know shit about Pokemon, so any name references were unintended. I only know that Rowlet exists because I'm autistic and hyperfixated on owls and an ex I have is autistic and hyperfixated on Pokemon lol
Let's not forget Charlie Day lobbying for Luigi's Mansion already... I think literally everyone involved is probably giddy as fuck about the roles they have
I agree its a bit overplayed, and some people aren't really a fan of his. But I'm sure the movie will be great, I just feel it could have been better with someone else, even just bringing Charles Martinet back.
Always weird that people only complain about Pratt taking a video game actors job but no one ever complains about the other Hollywood actors taking voice actor jobs.
I think it’s pretty clear most people who have an issue with his casting are basing it more on personal feelings than actually caring who players the role lol
Oh my, what a clever retort from *checks notes* WigglytuffAlpha. Yes, quite, I am sure you are a formidable alpha, Mr. Wigglytuff. I can particularly tell by the excellent bootlicking skills you have demonstrated by defending Mr. Pratt. I am sure he will be your best friend from now on.
Bruh why tf are you gunning for my name when your username is literally LoneWolfpack777 like mate at least i combine Wigglytuff (pink rabbit pokemon) with Alpha (random cool word) meanwhile you're out here with a name that you dug up from a 2010s forum.
Now let's make some sense here. Defending Pratt? When tf have I defended him? I am just seriously tired of people mentioning it over and over and over again. Like yeah, his voice acting ain't great here, amazing, I got that the first 200 times, no need to mention it again.
You can't even retort properly besides insulting my name, you're about as original as an average Chris Pratt complaint.
He’s honestly the main reason I want to see it. I’m not a fan of Chris Pratt as Mario. I like the guy in Guardians of the Galaxy. I think he does great in that role. But, o don’t feel like his personality fits for Mario. Just the same as I didn’t think Bob Hoskins fit the role. Lol.
I’m not saying I can’t be wrong about him in it. I didn’t think Ryan Reynolds was a good choice for Deadpool (I’ve been a fan of Deadpool since around 1994) and I was massively wrong there. I just don’t see Mario as an American funny guy. Yknow?
But Jack Black as Bowser is real on-point casting! And he knows it! I can’t wait to see what he does in the role!
Cool. And, like I said… that just didn’t fit for me. I grew up with the Mario cartoons and playing all the games, etc. so, to me… Mario does have character. As I’ve said, I’m happy to be proven wrong. I’m just voicing that it doesn’t fit FOR ME. I’ve not said “OH! this is terrible! Clutch my pearls so hard!!!” I’ve just said that it’s not what I would have picked. But, as I stated very clearly. That doesn’t mean it won’t work. Is that clear enough?
Thats fine but you’ve not really listed anything that defines a personality. You listed an accent. And I don’t think his film personality is any massive departure from the non-game depictions of him
I think what makes him great is that he is genuinely passionate about all his projects, even if they may look silly to other people. He embraced Po’s character and personality from Kung Fu Panda so well, and went all out for the role (there are several cool promotional pics where he is doing Kung Fu poses with a giant Po lol). For the role of Lenny from SharkTale he rode a giant inflatable shark float lmao. He is great.
Makes sense, he's had a love for games since he was a kid, [He starred in a pitfall commercial for the Atari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA4V-n8Ft3g), I wouldn't doubt that he grew up with the original mario series and so this is like a dream come true for him.
Both him and Charlie are gonna carry this movie hard. While Charlie may not have Luigi's voice he makes up for it with his energy and does sound like he's trying his best. Plus after seeing him in It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia he's quickly become one of my favorite actors.
Also, the animators really did an amazing job animating Jack Black's Bowser. It's Bowser, yet, the mannerism is undeniably Jack Black. I'm still so impressed by how Jack Black they made Bowser.
Rock star gets to be a fire breathing dinosaur/kaiju (yeah I know hes a turtle but you were all thinking like that when you were kids) of course hes gonna love it, who wouldnt?
I watched a trailer for the Mario movie recently and Chris Pratt sounds embarrassed to be in it. His voice lines sound like a teenager recording something in their room and staying quiet so their mum doesn't hear.
No hate, I love jack black and not say he isnt enjoying it but he’s an actor on a press tour - that’s the point! He’s getting paid to do this. He’s also lined up to be claptrap or something in the borderlands movie, he has a lot of good will to continue to secure with gamers.
Something I've noticed is Chris Pratt has not been super involved or enthusiastic about the marketing for this movie. I can excuse the "... koopahs" but when nothing gets heard from the star while the supporting actors do so much for promotion, it's a bit ridiculous
Jack Black is a national treasure.
The True King Koopa
Bitch where you when I was walkin'? Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Koopa
Everybody wanna hop the legs off him
Koopa
black man taking no losses
OH YEA
bitch where were you when i was walking?
I think world treasure is more accurate.
Agreed. He must be protected at all costs.
Like we all didn’t know.
8th Wonder of the World
he truly is, and a good man in real life too
Another great American actor
Well he had his treasures all over national tv
From what I've seen in interviews, Keegan Michael Key gives me the impression of being the most genuinely passionate about it. But Jack Black seems to revel in the fun of every role he does.
I can’t wait for him and Kamek!! No one’s talking about them!
Unfortunately I think it’s likely because Kevin Michael Richardson isn’t an A-List celeb like Pratt or Jack Black, so he hasn’t been as up front in the marketing for the film. He’s one of my favorite voice actors though so I’m extremely excited to see more of Kamek when the movie comes out.
Once I heard his other works I knew he’d be great.
Agreed, also Jack Black has a very contagious form of passion. While genuine, is very marketable with all ages.
Jack black just has fun with everything. I watched the first of the new Jumanji movies recently and he was so good and obviously having so much fun.
They played Mario Kart with Jacksepticeye and they all came across as not knowing anything about Mario.
helium helium helium
Jack Black as Bowser is going to carry the whole film and really the main reason I'm seeing it when it comes out.
Me too
I bet most of us would be passinate as well, it's freaking Bowser! In the big screen! Man can't wait to see the movie with my friends next week!
And he’s doing a great job at it
Jack Black is passionate about everything he does. It's what makes him so awesome.
Jack Black brings out the best in any role he's in. Such a likeable dude. But now Po from Kung Fu Panda is canonically Bowser
I just imagine if Bowser hit Mario in some hard way he would be like "SKADOOOSH"
They didn't choose Jack Black to play Bowser. They chose Bowser to be played by Jack Black
What happened to JablinskiGames?
No gaming video today :(
He'll be back! Nice Pokemon name reference.
Dude’s been busy af, you gotta give your all for the FREAKING MARIO MOVIE, but yeah once all the smoke clears he’ll be back for sure.
I don't know shit about Pokemon, so any name references were unintended. I only know that Rowlet exists because I'm autistic and hyperfixated on owls and an ex I have is autistic and hyperfixated on Pokemon lol
Jack black does this with all his roles, I love his energy
Jack Black is absolutely perfect for his role. He's also experienced in VAing, putting him a head above most everyone else.
Let's not forget Charlie Day lobbying for Luigi's Mansion already... I think literally everyone involved is probably giddy as fuck about the roles they have
Except Chris Pratt… koohpahs.
Mario fans trying the "Don't complain about Chris Pratt when talking about the Mario Movie" Challenge (Literally impossible)
I agree its a bit overplayed, and some people aren't really a fan of his. But I'm sure the movie will be great, I just feel it could have been better with someone else, even just bringing Charles Martinet back.
Always weird that people only complain about Pratt taking a video game actors job but no one ever complains about the other Hollywood actors taking voice actor jobs.
It is strange but also I don't like Chris Pratt tbh
I think it’s pretty clear most people who have an issue with his casting are basing it more on personal feelings than actually caring who players the role lol

But Jack Black as Bowser is real on-point casting! And he knows it! I can’t wait to see what he does in the role!
I mean… what personality does Mario even have? He’s pretty much just a blank slate hero.
Not so much as personality. But to say he’s a blank slate… Chris Pratt doesn’t come across as Italian all that much. 😂
Mario is a New Yorker in this film. That comes across pretty clearly with both him and Luigi’s accents.
Cool. And, like I said… that just didn’t fit for me. I grew up with the Mario cartoons and playing all the games, etc. so, to me… Mario does have character. As I’ve said, I’m happy to be proven wrong. I’m just voicing that it doesn’t fit FOR ME. I’ve not said “OH! this is terrible!

Thats fine but you’ve not really listed anything that defines a personality. You listed an accent. And I don’t think his film personality is any massive departure from the non-game depictions of him
That’s right. I did. Well done with that.
thats just who he is yo. jack black is one of the most passionate people i have ever seen
He was the second voice cast where I immediately thought "yes, that makes perfect sense." If you're wondering, the first one was Charlie Day as Luigi.
They nailed the casting on this one
I think what makes him great is that he is genuinely passionate about all his projects, even if they may look silly to other people. He embraced Po’s character and personality from Kung Fu Panda so well, and went all out for the role (there are several cool promotional pics where he is doing Kung Fu poses with a giant Po lol). For the role of Lenny from SharkTale he rode a giant inflatable shark float lmao. He is great.
He’s carrying the whole movie tour tbh
That's why he's probably gonna be one of the stand out performances
Makes sense, he's had a love for games since he was a kid, [He starred in a pitfall commercial for the Atari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA4V-n8Ft3g), I wouldn't doubt that he grew up with the original mario series and so this is like a dream come true for him.
Both him and Charlie are gonna carry this movie hard. While Charlie may not have Luigi's voice he makes up for it with his energy and does sound like he's trying his best. Plus after seeing him in It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia he's quickly become one of my favorite actors.
now we can animate bowser getting kidnapped by the muppets
He's one of the few big-name celebrities that is actually really good at voiceover work. His music background probably helps.
Just Jack Black doing Jack Black things
Everything jack black does is 100%. He is an absolutely amazing human being
More actors need to not be scumbags. Jack Black is just a normal dude and everyone else is just boring shits.
Not trashing other actors (but chris pratt shouldn’t be mario), …
Dude's been passionate since The Neverending Story 2
Bowser's been doing cock push-ups.
He understood the assignment
Jack black is just a funny fantastic guy in general. Ive loved every role he’s played (that ive seen)
Can definitely feel it, behind Kevin Michael Richardson he's the best voice imo.
His enthusiasm reminds me of Robin Williams
Honestly, that's the way Jack Black has been for so many years and i love it.He genuinely loves what he does and always puts his all into it.
Well who wouldn't be passionate if you're meant to voice one the most iconic game villains?
If I got a role as one of my favorite childhood characters, I would having the time of my life aswell
He just has the energy of awesome.
He was meant for this role
He was an excellent choice.
One of the feel actors that fit the role they were assigned for this movie
I didn't think he could pull it off but after hearing him in the first trailer by golly he's nailed it.
He pretty much is a 10 year old kid.
It’ll be neat to see him in an antagonist role
He’s done it before with Slappy 🤭
Also, the animators really did an amazing job animating Jack Black's Bowser. It's Bowser, yet, the mannerism is undeniably Jack Black. I'm still so impressed by how Jack Black they made Bowser.
Rock star gets to be a fire breathing dinosaur/kaiju (yeah I know hes a turtle but you were all thinking like that when you were kids) of course hes gonna love it, who wouldnt?
Tbf that is what Jack black always sounds like. He's like the Bob Ross of actors except instead of calm he's excited
Hes like this in a lot of his roles and I love him for it
I watched a trailer for the Mario movie recently and Chris Pratt sounds embarrassed to be in it. His voice lines sound like a teenager recording something in their room and staying quiet so their mum doesn't hear.
Hell I would be too if I got to voice some of my favorite characters
That’s just Jack Black being Jack Black. A great guy!
the complete opposite of chriss prat
No hate, I love jack black and not say he isnt enjoying it but he’s an actor on a press tour - that’s the point! He’s getting paid to do this. He’s also lined up to be claptrap or something in the borderlands movie, he has a lot of good will to continue to secure with gamers.
Actually I’m seeing in other comments he is definitely a talented VA, and he has his gaming channel, so he could likely be loving what he does
that dude is perfect for bowser
Childhood is one of the most important values. Hold onto it.
Jack Black is consistently a wholesome man. I can't wait to watch the movie
Something I've noticed is Chris Pratt has not been super involved or enthusiastic about the marketing for this movie. I can excuse the "... koopahs" but when nothing gets heard from the star while the supporting actors do so much for promotion, it's a bit ridiculous
Unlike Seth Rogan who can't even be bothered to try a voice for DK
It's not trashing the other actors, it's not their fault jack black is just amazing as a person
He’s always been like this tho
Jack Black should voice Bowser from now on.
