I think Giygas could be made into a good constant threat if they really fleshed out the idea of Giygas' control over people and creature's minds being the reason for them becoming violent. In the game it's just there as a way to explain the diverse cast of enemies but in a more cinematic medium they could really take advantage of it by showing how people would fall into subservience to a cosmic evil.

Mother 1 - the most simplistic of the three, thus you could do whatever you wanted to it. Only a few key battles prevents too many fight scenes. The characters got enough personality to generate dialogue. It’s problem is recognition, not many people recognize the name Ninten. Mother 2 - The most recognizable and definitely a fun plot, but alas, it doesn’t translate the best if you want to retain the sanctuaries as that is just too many fights. Mother 3 - Most easily translated into cinema, beautiful story, and lovable characters. As for the size of the plot and the number of fight, we run into our first problem. It would have to be more than one movie, likely a trilogy, and that requires faith. And that leads to second problem, the lack of localization, which translates to lack of faith. Of course we must keep in mind that Nintendo does take less known genres and bring them j to light, such as Kid Icarus on Smash Bros.

I personally think Ness can still be a silent protagonist in a TV series, and still work as an emotion-filled character. However, the only way I see Earthbound working is with these conditions: 1. Mother 1's story is briefly explained 2. Some fan theories have to be confirmed. If Buzz Buzz was Ninten, the entire beginning would be so much more narratively compelling, and he could give a lot of exposition. 3. The Sanctuary Guardians need to be some sort of depth to them. I once saw a video that had little bios for each Guardian, and it made them so much cooler. If the entire cave/dungeon were specialized for the specific Guardian, it'd definitely make it more compelling. 4. Additionally Paula, Jeff and Poo all speak, but Ness does not say a word. 5. Itoi has to be in charge of this project or else it'll be not good. With these 5 conditions I feel like it could legitimately be a fun show. That being said it's totally not happening, especially with the fifth condition.

In my opinion if we did get a earthbound movie it would definitely be a side story that happens during when ness is on his quest but has a different character in a different story while also some overlap with the game and the movie. Like maybe the character(s) are on a quest to help ness out yet fail to so much that ness doesn’t even notice, except the end where they indirectly help him and his friends (maybe explaining how they ness and everyone else got back to the present after killing gygus. But it could just be set in the earthbound world because of all the things different from our world and earthbound’s.

I can understand China not wanting Paula to defeat Giygas with prayer. That could be easily changed with Paula just clenching her eyes and telepathically asking their friends to focus their own mental energies for them without aid from any deity. But (1) the Happy-Happyists are one of the crucial points in the game; it's how Ness meets and rescues Paula, a main character. (2) without delving into the "teachings" of the Happy-Happy "religion" (just like the game does not), it could be said that it is simply a "dangerous cult"--something that China should be pleased to point out given their stance that ALL religions are basically cults, although people who are actually in real cults may be offended by the Happy-Happyists.

Threed to winters is the first big one, but you also have summers to dalaam, and then the whole issue of going back to pink cloud and magnet hill, theres just no hints there naturally that the characters think to do that sure, the intermissions could help in the long run, and even add reasoning to the length.

Movies are one of (if not) the most widely consumed form of art, apart from perhaps television. As for games/books providing "more potentially personal and thorough experiences," that's completely subjective, as any piece of art of any medium could be personal and thorough, as that's more a matter of the story being told, longer doesn't equal better inherently. Don't disagree that those also provide incredible experiences in their own right, just that film is held in such high regard due to its incredible mass appeal.

Obviously that movie would never be made but if it was it could be amazing and it definitely could capture the spirit of the games (especialy if they took it in an artsier direction as you said). Great video though.

This is a small pet peeve of mine, but I don't buy the "Ness is a anagram of SMES" idea. Mostly because in Japan the console isn't called the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), but the Super Famicom. Since Mother 2 is a Japanese made game, the anagram idea doesn't work. Sorry for this tangent.

@@MonkeyNess I respectively disagree. The game is still developed by a team of Japanese people and in the original Japanese version (Mother 2) had more references to Japanese culture compared the the Western Localisation (Earthbound), such as the Octopus statue and Apple kids coment on not using the Octopus eraser near a restaurant selling takoyaki (octopus dumplings) as well a Nude Ness in Magicant, which was replaced with Pencils and Ness dressed in his pajamas. This is another reason why the Ness is a anagram for SNES is a western misconception.

@@Igronavt360 That’s an incorrect use of the term “Mandela effect.” Though the game absolutely makes references to Japanese culture, elements such as Ness’s nudity in Magicant aren’t explicit references to anything Japanese, but merely uses of Japanese storytelling tropes, which is not the same thing.

@@MonkeyNess That's fair, I have edited my comment to something more appropriate. The fact there are references to Japanese culture and philosophy already acts as a problem. If the seting was ment to be America then they should have delved into more western themes, perhaps more biblical references to Magicant as nudity is more of a Budist idea. Not to mention the Ness is a anagram for SNES would go over most Japanese players because most Japanese gamers at the time of the games release would not have known that their console had a different name outside their country, not to mention that the Mother series as a hole is more popular in Japan compared to the west, so yeah. There is a lot more that I could use to explain why Ness = SNES is not true, but I don't want to waist your time and flud your coment section. I think Ness was just a name Itoi picked without any deeper meaning and the SNES anagram is just one big coincidence.

I’d honestly feel like the Mother games would not be a great fit for film. Too niche for your average Joe normy and I feel like none of the games stories could be confined in a single hour and a half flim. However an animated series would be a dream come true. A television series would not have to face the same censorship and could actually cater to a specific audience better I.E. fans. Even though Mother 3 had a perfect ending as it is, a series following Lucas and Co after the final needle is pulled would be absolutely amazing albeit a pipe dream.

9:03 Yeah, I wouldn't say Sonic's narrative is "minimal," it has years of lore and the stories mostly got more complex as the series went on. Mario is usually more simple, but even that series is capable is delving into more complex territory with the RPGs (something i'm disappointed wasn't seemingly taken into consideration when the Mario movie was made). But with Earthbound, I always thought it was easier said than done, especially considering the main villain turns into a fetus. Heck, Mother 3's story is so controversial that it never got localized in the west. Plus considering Nintendo got Miyamoto to oversee the Mario movie, I feel like they wouldn't do it unless Itoi gave the go-ahead (pretty sure that's the reason why Mother 4 never happened). Heck, if the Smash movie ever happens, I get the feeling they may just replace Ness with someone more popular.

Sonic has complex lore for sure, but the film adaptation is based mostly on the plot/ideas of the first game. As for Mario, all screen adaptations have been based on the platformers, which both of which were what I was referring to.

The thing is it can be adapted into a movie with slight changes made too it like parts cut out that aren't needed for the plot movies also move faster than games so it can be more fast paced with certain scenes and it doesn't have to follow the plot all the way through either it can be adapted though so never say never.

Eh, Im not sure how much of Mother 3 is contingent on being a sequel to Earthbound. Pretty much the only connections it has to Earthbound are Porky and Dr Andonuts, everything else is more or less just a "hey rememver this thing" kind of callback that doesnt really impact the plot very mu h. And even then, the story of an evil greedy kid who viewed the world as his plaything and abused time travel to achieve his goals can be told without relying on Earthbound to really set that up. Not that it really matters in the end becauss there isnt a chance in hell any of these games is getting adapted to abything, but still.

@MonkeyNess I mean sure, but how much of his story is contingent upon it being specifically "from Earthbound"? You can pretty easily set up hin coming from an awful, abusive home as the reason he is the way he is without necessarily having to lean on the Cosmic evil of Giygas being a directly corruptive force guiding his actions. Other than his connection to Giygas very little really ties his character to Earthbound other than it just being another "Hey remember that thing" kind of situation.

I’m not sure if I’d trust anyone except Itoi to direct it, and considering how old he is, I don’t think that’s possible.

If Mother 2 were to be made into a movie, the directors could just use Benimaru Itoh or Saroi Kumi's retelling as a basis since they work better as a typical story. In fact, when Itoh was first adapting Mother 2 as a comic, he had second thoughts because of how long Mother 2 is. Itoi eventually convinced him to take creative liberties. I could see a studio Itoi trusts doing the same thing. But yeah, a Mother movie wouldn't work simply because it's not financially feasible compared to Mario or Pokemon. And Mother 3, being a Japan only game, would far off worse as a movie business wise because the main market for films is China and the US. Also Mother 3 is even WORSE when it comes to music samples. Mother movies probably shouldn't use the games as a basis either. Look at Final Fantasy's movies as an example.

I know my comment was really long, but point is, I do mostly agree with your sentiment. Benimaru Itoh's story as a basis is the most logical choice, but A, most people who know Earthbound aren't familiar with the comic and may find its interpretation to be ugly or weird, and B, from a business perspective, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Besides Terry Crews, you can't attract celebrities to a movie based on a niche video game franchise that hasn't been relevant since 2006.
