    I think that would be true, sure. The biggest issue I’ve seen, and after reading some of your comments about the SMB movie, they could’ve knocked it out of the park by:

    1: Taking the IP, and it’s respective audience, seriously and making sure it is faithful enough.

    2: Keeping it FULLY 3D animated.

    The fact they felt the need to pay these people for their faces, and (debatable) talent, they could’ve made the entire movie in animation and THAT would have definitely kept the respective audience more interested.

    I’ve been saying it since the '10s, but not everything needs “real” actors and live action acting. Voice actors with quality animation can do just as good, if not better, for these types of movies. It’s just that it’s a cash grab, and the fact that culture seems to be dead, that we can sit here and objectively shit on it as adults.

      I finally got around to watching it, and yeah you kinda hit it on the nose.

      I think it definitely suffers from being live action. It looks like it cost millions to animate, only for them to use the cheapest green screen tech available to overlay the actors.
