Jack Black has shared more of his Bowser voice at New York Comic Con

I find his style to usually be overtly obnoxious and super tryhard. I generally don't mind him when he actually acts and isn't being a living cartoon character. But he's got a schtick he usually leans into, and I don't blame him. A lot of people enjoy it. It's just not for me.
Kinda interesting that Black's voice performance is being heavily promoted, but Pratt's was barely revealed.
I wonder if they're still kinda figuring out things with Pratt's Mario voice.

Jack Black as Bowser was one of those castings that seemed perfect from the moment i heard it, glad my gut was right here
Anya has risen in recent years but she's definitely not commanding the type of money Chris Pratt would after nearly of decade of regular major blockbusters, nor I would think Black who's been a mainstay for decades.
A Mario Wrestling spin off would be absolutely amazing TBH đź’Ş
He's awesome. I love Jack Black doing Jack Black stuff in a way that works for Bowser but he can also do menacing in a convincing way I wasn't expecting.
Dude cares about everything. It's really inspiring tbh. I just saw Tenacious D in concert a few weeks back. Hes playing for his die hard fans. He could have came out, sat down, played the songs and everyone would have loved just being there. Nah, dude was flipping across stage, dancing everything he could do to make that show great. By the end of the show he was so drenched in sweat that you could see the steam rising off of him.

Jack Black is Video Game royalty. People need to settle down, Bowser couldn't be in more capable hands.
This is how I feel about Will Ferrell. The difference for me being that Jack Black actually seems genuine, whereas Will Ferrell's whole vibe is "I NEED ATTENTION WHATEVER THE COST."
Jack is cool. Dude always looks like he's actually having a good time.
I'd MUCH prefer actual voice actors instead of the movie prioritizing star power over everything else like they all do. But at least Jack is the kind of celeb who puts in the effort.
RAWK HAWK. KICK OPEN THE PLANE DOOR, AND GRAB THE PIANTAS WHO HAVE ALREADY MADE THE SACRIFICE *SKRONK* AND DRIVE THE CONTROLS INTO ISLE DELFINOOOOO
I don't know if this helps, but I've had the pleasure of meeting Jack a few times back stage at Tenacious D shows, including once after he twisted an ankle. Not any official meet and greets, just managed to become friends with someone in the crew that gets me back there.
And even when he's laying on a couch in pain with a twisted ankle after a 3 hour show, he just oozes personality. It's just genuinely him. He's just always a big happy kid. Especially now that his boys have gotten older and he is spending more time with them.
Always been a huge Jack fan, but prior to meeting him the first time, I always feared it was just a tv personality and he'd be a dick behind the scenes and was so happy to know that he's just genuinely Jack Black.
The voice really works. Can't wait to see the full performance in the movie.
Came to say this, exactly. Seems like he'll be a highlight of every scene he's in at this rate, at least for me.

I was there! The audience seemed really into it, but him mentioning that the heavy metal influence is going to affect some musical stuff made me very concerned tbh
Would really hate for there to be musical numbers in the movie haha

At this point Jack Black has done a lot of voice over work across movies, shows, and games.
Yeah, I'm not sure where this dichotomy comes from. Mark Hamill is an actor who has also done a lot of voice-over work - does that mean he isn't a voice actor?
You know thinking about it more, they could still have used Charles Marinet to voice Mario, but instead of using the same old video game voice, maybe they could have gotten him to come up with a new voice for Mario. That way, we'd still have a talented voice actor voicing Mario, but with a new take on the character. I think it's a win-win for everyone. But I guess we're stuck with Chris Pratt.
As soon as Bowser spoke, I was like "YO!! This is perfect!!"
I had no idea how I wanted Bowser to sound like until I watched the trailer.
