Rosalina puts her big feet on a box back stage. --- Of all the characters I expected to draw this year, Rosalina was nowhere on the list. But after seeing the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, I started scribbling. I won’t spoil the major plot points, but this movie is terrible. The first film was a fun 5/10 at best, and this one is a 2/10. The animation is great, and there are some big laughs, but the film is so bloated that there’s no room for emotional beats. It’s barely a story; it’s an amusement park where you’re being flung from one attraction to the next without a breather. The film’s handling of Rosalina is a major failure. For her to receive less screentime than a non-Mario character is just insulting. I’ve never been Rosalina’s biggest fan. I prefer her design to Peach’s stiff doll look, and as someone with a deep affinity for magic, I like her cosmic elements. However, she’s incredibly boring. She’s defined by that lifeless stoicism, and the echo effect on her voice isn’t helping. Daisy, my favourite, is also boring. But she’s at least defined by being active and loud, whereas Rosalina is entirely passive. I’ve noticed long ago a trend among Nintendo fans of exaggerating the most minimal plot details, like claiming Paper Mario II is super dark despite the game barely having dark themes until the climax. Or claiming Super Paper Mario is one of the deepest stories simply because its plot is more in your face. It’s as if they live in a bubble where other media doesn’t exist. Rosalina’s backstory is decent, but it’s not that stand-out by normal game standards, and it hardly affects her in the present. I may not love her in the games, but I loathe how she was treated here. A movie is meant to adapt and improve characters for a medium where story matters. This lady is just a plot device. Since the studio wasn’t interested in doing anything with her, I decided I would.
『Screentime Compensation』
If the filmmakers want to ignore Rosalina, I'll pay her a little more attention. With her terrifyingly large, ethereal feet.
