I had to look up what SMB was; wow, hard to believe a movie based on a VIDEO GAME would do that well! Sort of speaks to our current state; too many people want nothing to do with reality.
Dude, movies based on video games have been popular for decades. It's not new.
The FIRST Super Mario Brothers movie was made in 1993.
Then there was Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Doom, Lara Croft's Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Pokemon, Sonic, and many more I can't remember at the moment.
And all movies, other than documentaries, are a form of escapism.
It's hard for me to believe that the idea of movies based on video games is that shocking to someone.
Not shocked that there are movies based on video games, just that the number one movie is based on a video game :) (I haven't seen a single one of the video-game movies you listed, but then, I have only seen about 10 movies in a movie theater in the past 20 years)
Mario has been in video games every year for, what, 40 years. That is a wide demographic. Kids are seeing it to see their video game heros on screen and the older people are seeing it for nostalgia. They knew this nostalgia thing was a bankroll when the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's started selling for more than Ferrari and Lamborghini.
We all have nostalgia for the past. We remember the good times, and usually forget the bad :) I have a hard time knowing if I like something because of nostalgia, or because it is just good.
It's just good made by people who care about us. Tucker said something on Russle Brand that really made me think. He got on the subject of the shift in architecture over the years. His opinion was that all the old, beautiful, buildings, made from local stone and materials were so beautiful because those who designed and built them cared for their community. As opposed to the ugly totalitarian structures that are built today, he feels those are designed by people that hate us. If you haven't seen that interview, it is a different side of Tucker. https://rumble.com/v2yn47a-live-tucker-carlson-world-first-interview-since-leaving-fox-163-stay-free-w.html
Speaking of Russell brand, saw this clip last night that explains why they want Trump gone. It’s a very clever explanation and worth a few minutes time

Ok, thanks. Sounds like Tucker decided he would rather go with truth than cash (but he is likely to get both now :) )
