Movie 2 should bring in Wario and Waluigi. New found heroes vs dopellgangers is a classic plot device and one that's kinda been used in Mario, just not with the Wahs.

Apparently, Jack Black wants the next Mario movie to be a full muscial.

I say go for it! Other than introducing the Koopalings, I'm not sure what else I'd want from a sequel.
Nah, absolutely not.

If it's a full musical, base it on Super Mario Bros. 2. I feel like that would work better.

Well, unless they REALLY take the "it's a play" element of SMB3's presentation to heart. Then that could work.

I mean, if The Lego Movie 2 was able to pull off being a musical... Why not?

I don't even remember there being any songs besides that one.

They had that whole fake end credits musical sequence of "Everything's Not Awesome" (minus an actual credits scroll, of course). Several members of the audience actually walked out of the room during that song thinking the movie was over, when I saw it in theaters.

Now y'all made me go look up the Queen's "Not Evil" song and hot damn did I forget what a storyboarding nightmare it must have been to animate her!

In todays age where the vast majority of movies are doing mid/post-credit stingers, if people are walking out when the credits start they only have themselves to blame.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

It's an american movie! Unless it's prefaced with "to be continued" it always ends on an high note. Anyone dumb enough to walk away during a song literally called "everythings not awesome" (when it's a not a czech republic art house film.) deserves to miss the real ending.

To this day, I still see people get up from their seats to begin leaving when the credits start rolling for MCU movies. They only pause their exit if the (first) credits scene plays soon enough to catch those people's attention, but once that scene ends they don't wait for any more. I stick around to the end, but by then, it's only me and, like, two or three other small groups left in the audience. The majority of people still leave and miss those credits scenes.

On the flip side - the end-credit scenes seem to show up on YouTube on a regular basis.

I still think the one at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming was absolutely worth the wait, though.

Knowing that there are people either not aware of the post-credits scenes or not bothering to watch them does make it feel a little more special. More like an actual hidden thing that only the superfans are privy to.

I've been doing it since I was a kid. They're just more common now.

Earliest I remember seeing was -- ironically -- Super Mario Bros. Street Fighter had one, too.

now, the earliest movie I saw that I'm aware of having one offhand was Masters of the Universe, but I didn't find that out until it was on tv or something years later, because my parents weren't sticking around.

I watched this last night. While it was a decent attempt it was worth the wait for this to drop in price.

Over all it was an OK movie.

I feel there should just be the one movie and that's fine.

Strange Brew (1983) had a McKenzie brothers skit play as the credits were running. That could have been to satisfy the occasionally onerous Canadian Content rules to get production credit funds, though. 🙃

Things that were interesting

1. The use of the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme

2. Donkey Kong and Mario working together.

3. Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart.
