So, I just watched the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and I was disappointed that despite taking place in space, they didn't include Tatanga in the movie.

If you were going to skip a Super Mario Land movie, you could have at least included him instead of fucking Fox McCloud.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie spoilers 

So I might as well give my general thoughts on the movie, but I don't have an overall opinion on the movie as a whole and I'd rather talk about individual moments of the movie.

* Skipping all the way to Galaxy - I think doing a Mario World or Land movie before this one would've been better, but I guess Nintendo doesn't want to spend the next couple of decades churning out Mario movies.
* Yoshi's appearance - I don't like his portrayal because the games establish that he can speak in full sentences (though they have never been fully voiced as far as I know), but he only says his name in the film. He also spent brief time in the "real world", and that is the only part of the film that portrays it. Which is a shame because it also suggests that government agents in the real world are currently hunting any creatures from the Mushroom Kingdom after the first movie.
* Fox McCloud - I think it would have been better if his appearance was unannounced and they made it a surprise cameo. It's out right stated that he is from a different universe. Honestly, he is the most logical choice for a crossover cameo given that he is from a sci-fi franchise and Metroid, F-Zero, and presumably Kirby take place in a version of our future so their appearances would even make less sense. But despite all of that, they missed an opportunity to bring back Tatanga from Super Mario Land, but nobody remembers him (yet the first movie brings back Spike who hasn't been relevant since Wrecking Crew).
* Peach and Rosalina are sisters - This is the twist of the movie and I don't like it. For one, the first movie suggested that she is actually from the real world, being the token human and knowing what "human" means, but she is actually from some dwarf planet with Rosalina and they were the only inhabitants on that small planet, being created directly from stardust.
* Daisy's cameo - Oh yeah, she appears in the post-credits scene, hinting her role in the next movie. I wonder how she is going to be portrayed, given how both Peach and Rosalina are tomboyish in this movie.
