Nintendo got everyone talking ♕with thജe reveal of the first Super Mario movie poster, but probably not about what it was expecting.

In case you missed it, today 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo announced a new Direct for this Thursday all about the Mario movie, and in doing so revealed our very first look at the adaptation. The image shows a town of Toads and mushrooms and Cheep Cheeps and all sorts of Nintendoness, and front in center is an ass so flat it looks concave. You can just make out the pouch of air in the baꦜck of Mario's jeans where a vacuum of space exists in place of his derrière.

around the sexualization of a female video game character, but the 2022 version of this caboose-centered controversy is a lot more silly, thankfully.

Behold, Buttgate '22.

As you can see, some folks are simply poking fun at the plump-less plumber, while others are arguing against Nintendo's logic here. It's true that you'd expect a far more robust ass from someone that does as much legwork as Mario, but you also have to keep in mind th♔at he's been butt-stomping hard surfaces for like, 26 years. I can only imagine the kind of damage that's done to his ischial tuberosity.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see if Chris Pratt's take on the character is any less or more flattering when the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario movie trailer debuts at New York Comic Con on Thursday.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mario movie is set to prem▨iere in April 202🔯3.
