So the first Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer came out last week, and above all else — everyone loves Jack Black’s take on Bowser.
Not that there was ever any doubt. Black is a natural showman who brings 110 percent to every role. It’s just, you know, the first big-screen Super Mario adaptation didn’t go over well with anyone. So there’s already loads of nervous energy floating around the fandom, particularly regarding Chris Pratt’s Mario – the jury is still out on that one.
However, fans went absolutely gaga for Jack Black when the new trailer went live. Below, we’ve put together a list of some of the best reactions from Twitter.
Everybody loves a bad guy

I just realized you could imagine Jack black’s bowser saying like ANY line from the paper Mario / Mario & luigi games and it would be PERFECT. Like that’s just HIM pic.twitter.com/ncEF9LmkMN

You can tell Jack Black was so excited for this role lmao
As soon as I heard the voice I knew he put his all into it, but I expected nothing less from Jablinski Games

How’d they get Bowser, a fictional animated turtle-like creature, to look so much like Jack Black? pic.twitter.com/ad4VsgRK6R
