The news that Charles Martinet, the iconic voice actor behind Mario, has left the job has left many fans of the Mario games stunned, as they pay tribute to Martinet’s portrayal of the beloved character. Many users express their gratitude to Martinet for bringing Mario to life, while others speculate that his retirement could be a sign of the industry’s aging.
Many people share their favorite Mario lines, or mimic Mario’s catchphrases, and we see some playful banter between users. Others wonder whether AI technology could be used to imitate voices, but they express scepticism that it will be able to capture the nuances and personality that Martinet brought to the role.
There is a mention of Chris Pratt potentially being hired, which sparks a humorous response, along with a desire for a different voice actor. The French voice actor for the upcoming Mario movie is also mentioned, but there is no clear consensus on whether this is a good replacement.
