What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made? - Divisions by zero

> "We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a
pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact
that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality
products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year
America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and
attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its
responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "
It _could _ have been great. But it ended up - like the Mario movie - being a formulaic piece of drek.
I feel better knowing I’m not the only one who didn’t like the new Mario movie for the same reason.
Ok but which mario do you prefer? The new one or the 90s Mario Brothers?
The 90s one at least has some creativity and is hilarious for the fact it is nothing at all like the games.
Hmm, I wonder if they kept the story and actor voices but CGI’D it… nah that could possibly.
The trouble with something like that is we already have the 90s Mario movie, and the actors’ performances (visual as well as voice) and the delightfully bonkers direction and production design are the best things about it. There’d be absolutely no benefit to throwing everything but the soundtrack out and redoing it line-by-prerecorded-line as a cartoon, when if you want a Mario cartoon which looks like the games you can more easily just make a new cartoon (which is what they did.)
