My little cast of Characters........ FROM SUPER SMASH BROS!!!
So lately, I've been running out of things to do at work while I'm not working. Granted I have work stacked a mile high sometimes, but it is so mundane that my mind tends to wander. Ergo, a couple of days ago I thought to myself, "What if they made a movie for Super Smash Bros.? Who would be the cast for the characters in the movie?" SoOooooooOooo, I made up a list of people that I see fit to play the roles of the characters I remember in the videogame, and my reasoning behind it:
Mario: Jonah Hill
Luigi: Michael Cera
*Reason*: If you've ever seen the "Superbad" poster it just seems a natural fit for them
Princess Peach: Anne Hathaway
*Reason*: She's been in too many princess movies not to be typecast here
Wario: Ron Jeremy
*Reason*: THE REMBLANCE IS UNCANNY
Donkey Kong: Robin Williams
*Reason*: He's hella hairy already, you can barely understand half the things he says, and if you give him bongos he'll probably play them very well.
Ness: Danny DeVito
Lucas: Seth Green
*Reason*: I thought it would be hilarious to see these two really short actors play them
Ice Climbers: Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal
*Reason*: Because, just like the Ice Climbers, they suck
Fox: Channing Tatum
Falco: Mark Wahlberg
Wolf: Samuel L. Jackson
*Reason*: Channing Tatum because I liked how he played his role in G.I. Joe even though it sucked. Mark Wahlberg because he knows how to play a smart mouthed sidekick who pretty much wants to fight for top spot, so says "The Departed" - Say hi to ya motha fo' me. Samuel L. Jackson because he already looks badass in an eyepatch, and pretty much plays one in every movie he's ever been in.
Kirby: Block of Tofu
King Dedede: Jack Black
*Reason*: Because tofu can absorb things and spit it back out; plus there is resound proof that a block of tofu can kick ass - just like in Resident Evil 2. Plus, then you can see Jack Black try to destroy tofu with a mallet, or eat it for that matter...
Pokemon Trainer: L.L. Cool J
*Reason*: 5 words - L.L. Cool J Platinum Workout
Ganondorf: Dalip Singh Rana (The Great Kali)
*Reason*: He's freakin huge, and kinda looks like him - as seen in "The Longest Yard (2005)"
Zelda: Milla Jovovich
*Reason*: Because she looks good and is the only actress I can think of that can pull off the moves that Sheik does.
Samus: Famke Jensen
*Reason*: She seemed like a reasonable fit especially when I especially liked it when she played Jean Grey in the first two X-Men movies
Bowser: Mickey Rourke
*Reason*: He already kinda has scales for skin, is huge, and I wouldn't doubt it if you can breath fire. Was in "The Wrestler" and now in Iron Man 2
Captain Falcon: Vin Diesel
*Reason*: Both drive cars, both are ripped, both KICK ASS
Olimar: John Malkovich
*Reason*: I honestly want to see what he can personally do with the character especially for someone that pulls little colored alien plants out of the ground
Snake: Christian Bale
*Reason*: He can seem like the calm, yet crazy, soldier type especially when you look at his portfolio: Terminator 4, Batman, American Psycho, Equilibrium.
R.O.B.: Keanu Reeves
*Reason*: Hows about yous proves that Keanu Reeves really isn't a robot
Master Hand: Shaquille O'Neal
*Reason*: HAVE YOU SEEN HIS HANDS?!?!?!
Characters I could not find a match for:
Meta Knight
Link
Mewtwo
Jigglypuff
Diddy Kong
Ike
Marth
Roy
Lucario
Sonic
Yoshi
Pikachu
Pichu
Feel free to add your own input, or even change a few of the ones I detailed above. Still, I'd love to hear the reasons though no matter how ridiculous they may seem. :)
