I honestly agree with this, which is why I asked whether modern Mario even actually talks in his games. I can't really imagine how it would be like. I think I've heard "Mario" talk more in parodies ala Robot Chicken than any actual Mario media.

Oh, undeniably the redesign looked better, but that intrinsic fact aside, as an adult the film was not targeting, I didn’t understand all the other adults raising the stink as they did. Regardless how much better he looked, I still had no interest in seeing the film.Not to belabor the point, but I'm not sure that I'd count that as a mark against anyone. Sonic's original character design for the film could generously be described as off-putting, and by all accounts the redesign is a significant improvement. Never mind that the more cartoon-y redesign is itself a much more appealing design for the film's target audience.
Dude actually got roasted a bit for it in the Rabbids crossover game.
Because they had legitimate grievances, and most of them were kids that grew up on Sonic. Of course, any sane person wants to see their hero or favorite mascot at with the best representation and care. Sega had big complaints, but it was their responsibility to keep up with checking on the project in the first place. Even Nintendo fans stuck up for the Sega and Sonic fans that I had problems with the old design. The fact the top execs in Hollywood thought it would fly by with no problem, show how of depth/touch they are, and how little the greedy fucks actually care. The redesign is better, but it came at the cost of crunch, and immediately shutting the CGI animation studio down. Which shows how fucked the system still is.

Hmm, a Mario anime from 1986. I never knew about this, interesting. And Luigi's blue, haha.
We got robbed. I wanted to see the horrifying Sanic Movie, with realistic human teeth!Not to belabor the point, but I'm not sure that I'd count that as a mark against anyone.

Given the production history, no they didn't. They thought that original design was okay and that no one would have a problem with it.
The trailer makes it look sense to me. It's a Mario movie. They literally just took the plot for the original manuals, where it's two plumbers from New York that get transported into a another world that has a kingdom being attacked by an evil force.
I'm vaguely curious if they'll allude to the idea that mushroom kingdom residents were turned into blocks and that's why they give goodies when Mario hits them.
