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.
So it seems like the true purpose of this war is to issue another global lockdown, this time because of (fake) oil shortages. People are already proposing alternate day driving and mandatory bussing in some places.
Also, remember that oil is used for electricity in some places so expect rationing for that too.
Is Lockdown 2.0 really about oil? ⛽🛑

The International Energy Agency has dropped a paper titled 'Sheltering from Oil Shocks,' and the implications are striking.
Someone is exploiting old people and making them believe crypto is the devil and in so doing trying to get Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies effectively banned in New Hampshire through absurd regulation. The senate hearing was packed with old people from AARP and passed the senate disturbingly!
Help save cryptocurrency in New Hampshire!
The address for the house version of the bill is Tuesday April 7th at: 1 Granite Place, Concord, NH 03301.
The hearing is on house bill SB482. "Granite Place" Room 159.
This bill will mandate full KYC for cryptocurrency vending machines, put a $2000 per day limit on purchases, put a 14 day hold on your funds, and make vending operators liable for 3rd party scams if users send their crypto to scammers. It will also mandate chainalysis.
This effectively this bans the sale of cryptocurrency through vending machines as it's economically infeasible to ensure little old ladies buying crypto don't send their crypto off to scammers after acquisition. If even a small percentage of users did so it would completely eliminate the margins on selling and therefore WILL put every vending machine operator out of business in New Hampshire.
The scary thing is this already passed the senate.
It's extraordinarily important that everyone who cares about financial freedom show up to the hearing and testify against this bill. Testifying against the bill is easy. You just sign up and tell the reps why you think this bill should not be passed.
