It's been less than 24 hours and someone's already edited Chris Pratt out of the Mario movie trailer
A dub of the Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer has replaced Pratt's lines with more familiar-sounding dialogue
Mario, the squat mustachioed hero of too many video games to count, must always be protected by his fans. Despite his corporate masters at Nintendo having no problem with the lil’ dude starring in everything from golf games to early-’90s typing tutorial software, Mario’s admirers are a bit more discerning about how he appears in media.
Case in point (and contrary to the hopes of those making the film) the internet is unhappy that the character’s traditional, cartoonishly Italian accent has been replaced by the sound of a new, non-cartoonishly Italian Chris Pratt in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie.
This departure is such an affront, it seems, that within 24 hours of the movie’s trailer being released, the actor has already been edited out of it.
