In 2019, a year that seems so long ago, we were blessed with the masterpiece that is detective pikachu. Then a year later, we were given the not-as-good but still great sonic movie. now, the Mario IP is being tossed over to illumination, we’re getting a sequel to sonic and detective pikachu, that got me wondering: is Nintendo/Nintendo’s collaborators like sega attempting to make a somewhat cinematic universe? It seems VERY unlikely, but it could be possible, if pulled off right. (Obviously the main thing would be subspace emissary or world of light as the big thanos of the saga…)
Anywho, it would probably work as the rings being multiverse portals as seen in the sonic movie.
But the one thing against this theory is how many studios the IPs are going to. And every time I think illumination is making the Mario movie, it saddens me slightly knowing that their gonna ruin it somehow.
