With The 'Mario' Movie Trailer Imminent, Fans Brace For The Worst With Jokes

The first trailer for the long-feared Super Mario movie starring Chris Pratt debuts tomorrow and will surely answer some of the internet's burning questions about the film. Will it look kinda cool, like Detective Pikachu? Or will it be a legendary flop, like the first Sonic movie trailer? And, most pressing of all, what horrors will Pratt unleash with what he does to Mario's voice?

there’s a strange air about today. everyone innately understands that the Before is almost over. tomorrow the trailer for the super mario movie starring chris pratt premieres. he’ll run into frame, open his mouth, and speak. we’ll all hear his voice. then begins the After.

While much of the internet braces like it just received the four-minute warning, it's pondered what inevitably memeworthy tone the trailer will take, firing off jokes imagining what's in store for everyone tomorrow morning.

Many joked that the film would take the form of dime-a-dozen comedy-action trailers that have sullied our screens for years, replete with cringey one-liners and obnoxious meta humor.

Others went a more absurdist route, crafting nonsensical jokes about what could potentially be revealed tomorrow.

There are even some optimistic souls holding out hope that the trailer will look pretty good, but those few appear to be greatly outnumbered by folks bracing for the worst.

Helping their case is a supposed leak that came from the ConnorEatsPants Discord that shows a design for Mario that supposedly appeared at a McDonald's, suggesting Nintendo has already sent their marketing materials out for the movie. Obviously, the leak is unconfirmed, but should it be legitimate, many users admitted the design looked pretty good.

We've reached the Dawn of the Final Day, and hours remain until we finally know what Nintendo is cooking for its Mario movie. Soon, memes of speculation will turn into memes of reality.
