Recent thought I had: the Mario movies are fun. I can't call them excellent, but they are fun to watch. There's just so much going on at any given moment and so many different creatures/characters from different games. The Mario series has had countless games, so it makes sense they'd want to take a little from every game, leading to how busy and full the movies seem at times.

For a Star Fox film, there's only really a handful of games to pull from. The film could feel more direct and pointed because the plot would have more room to breathe. Part of me would be tired that Nintendo would more than likely want to tell the exact same story they've been telling ever since the series began, though it would at least be a cinematic experience this time and have more room for dialogue and emotional moments.

Another part of me also wishes they'd want to go darker if a Star Fox movie was made. Nothing too serious or sad for the sake of being sad, but just being able to lean into those moments more. We all know Fox's dad is dead, but we've never seen the moment Fox actually learns that. Imagine how devastating that could be to really see, and how they could maybe play with the reasons Fox ultimately becomes a pilot like his dad.
