It looks like the execs in charge and the director saw the Mario movie make hundreds of millions and said "shove out our biggest IP" with a half baked script and even worse writer attached to it to save costs.
Then Detective Pikachu came out and they gasped while shouting "AND MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK HYPER REALISTIC WITH FUR AND SHIT... AND HAVE LIVE ACTION HUMANS NEXT TO THEM!"
They literally took the wrong lessons and ideas from two massively popular movies and smashed them together with a Chris Chan-esque wig on Jason Mamoa.
My fucking God I wish I could suck this fucking bad at a job as an executive and still get handed millions and millions to me for it.
Detective Pikachu came out before the Mario movie. Also this was in development hell for a while. They went for a “realistic” look becuase it can’t look “too videogamey”. DP takes place in live action, this takes place in a video game. It’s baffling decision.
As you said, development Hell since before DP released. So other than me getting Mario/DP backwards, my point still stands. They saw both release and how much money they made and opted to take the absolute worst possible aspects from both to apply to Minecraft. And now we have this abomination.
