Parents beware, your kids might start asking for a real blue star plushie soon.
The real star (pun intended) of Super Mario Bros movie Is that elegant, glowing little slave who mocks the talker of death relief, the absurdities of life, and the never-ending unknown that haunts us all. As Mario (Chris Pratt) and Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) venture out to defeat Bowser (Jack Black), this cute star is determined to contribute to the quest by reminding everyone just how futile it all is. It’s funny. He is very sweet. This is very terrifying.
If you are not familiar Super Mario games, allow us to show you who this little blue star is. It’s Lumalee (voiced by Juliette Jelinek), a character in the original Super Mario Galaxy. Lumalee is part of a kind of stars, the Lumas, who have all been adopted by an intergalactic princess named Rosalina. In the Super Mario Galaxy In the games, most Lumas are yellow and usually help Mario by joining him as a sidekick. However, Lumalee is a beautiful shade of blue with a unique role as a shopkeeper, usually appearing right before boss fights to sell Mario some power-ups.
Review of ‘The Super Mario Bros. Ultimate’. Movie’: What if Mario had father issues?
Lumalee is actually a really cute superstar, always introducing himself in games by singing “Lumalee! Lumabop! Welcome to Luma Shop!” causing him to take it Super Mario Bros movie Even more hilarious. Turning a young star who speaks exclusively in rhyme into a manic (yet cute) nihilist was a sweet thing that will surely make Lumalee even more of a fan favorite. while Super Mario Bros movie It gave a new kind of life For both of Nintendo’s core characters (like Peach being more of a damsel boss than a damsel in distress), their take on Lumalee was totally unexpected – yet totally logical.
Of course, a tiny star drifting through an endless galaxy would sap wisdom about how small we all are in the grand scheme of things. Lumalee has seen the great outdoors that none of us will ever understand, and he’s just saying his piece on the matter. I think Rosalina did a great job raising him, and I can’t wait to hear what else he has to say.
