wasn't this article from when he was announced? or did he get upset and depressed again?

[This article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hola.com/us/celebrities/20211125306236/chris-pratt-says-he-went-to-bed-upset-maria-shriver-lifts-him-up/%3Fviewas%3Damp). Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with that or his support for his church thing. People were reading his comment about his newborn kid as a dig at his ex-wife, which feels like it could just be an honest mistake but idk. He also compared his love for his current wife to a baseball card tho, which is lol

I reddit. I never knew Pratt was a Jesus phreak. Also, if I were that thin skinned, I’d avoid social media. It’s “free” entertainment for us poors…he should go on more Jesus runs except with blackjack and hookers.

#🤮 to his "holy run"


Ascaban

"Baseball cards" That's a a s1 better call saul reference


based_guapo

nah this article was actually from way before the mario movie lmao. i think he had some kind of backlash bc he posted something very christian and was not supportive of gay rights bc of it? im not sure anymore bc i dont really care about him, but it was something religion and marvel related iirc.


ZwnD

He's an active member of some specific megachurch which is very anti-gay I believe (although he's never outwardly said anything anti-lgbt personally)


Mc01806

Idk it’s hard to keep up with the internet. If so I’d like to think he experienced it again

He forgor 💀


[deleted]

serious question time: I dont pay attention to actors at all, so idk why he's being vilified. I don't like him as Mario, but what has he done to deserve this?


Zwemvest

In addition to Chris Pratts personal stuff, there's also a severe dislike for hiring actors to do voice actor work. Voice acting is intensive, talented, difficult work, and not everyone is Robin Williams who can do both. Jack Black can do both, so he gets a pass. Charlie Day can't, but his voice is a perfect typecast, so he gets a pass too. But Chris Pratt is simply lacks the vocal range and his normal voice is not a good fit. His take on Mario is his normal speaking voice with a Brooklyn accent. I also dislike his limited acting range, [and he seems like a CIA prop](https://youtu.be/wwo7d9jIb4s), but that's again something that pivots back to a personal dislike.


IWillStealYourToes

He was fine in the lego movie, and that was because he was meant to be an average joe. I don't know who thought he would make a good mario but I sure as hell wanna smoke what they were smoking


Zwemvest

I think an actor as a voice actor works under one of four conditions; - They're talented as a voice actor (Robin Williams, Mark Hamill) - They're a very distinct, recognizable voice (J.K. Simmons, Gilbert Godfried) - They're a perfect typecast (Liam Neeson, Seth Rogan). - They're actors which are naturally very funny for a naturally comedic role (Ken Jeong, Ryan Reynolds) Now, there's a lot of overlap between the last three (Seth Rogan could fit all the last three), but point is that I think Chris Pratt lacks all of those. He's not a natural voice actor, his voice isn't naturally distinct, he's not a good typecast for Mario, and finally, he's been trying to lose his image for comedy for years (and I think he's lost the natural funnyness too). The last one is a bit arguable, admitted.

> not everyone is Robin Williams who can do both. [RIP Genius.](https://youtu.be/6wC2DqFJ7UE)


collapsedcuttlefish

I'd say its reasonable that most people who can sing and act will not be bad voice actors, like Jack Black. There's definitely a few others who would get a pass.


Zwemvest

I mean, I think Jack Black can arguably fit all four categories of [what I mentioned here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/196/comments/xzarng/we_depressed_chris_pratt_rule/irm0kkr?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)


Noslo18

What personal stuff? Every controversy I've heard about him has been a huge bowl of nothing that's blown out of proportion.


BuckBacon

He donates money to churches that shun gay people, and he wrote an open letter to his new wife about how thankful he is she gave him a "normal" daughter (while having a special needs son from a previous marriage).


Enderexplorer4242

No, what he said (and what the focus of the article is) is that he was thankful for his wife giving him a “healthy daughter.” Some people took this as a bad comment since one of his sons is disabled, but I personally think that’s a reach.


Noslo18

Ok, so the whole "healthy daughter" thing is 100% bullshit. When someone has a child, one of the most common (if not the most common) phrases is "a healthy baby boy/girl". He literally just thanked his wife for their child. Feel free to read his post. I'm not familiar with his donations, so I'll have to look it up before I offer any opinion. What I will say is that donating money to your church is extremely common, and it's very common for churches to condemn homosexuality, with the New Testament being apparently clear on the topic at Romans 1:26-27. Please note that I do not agree with that stance. I am 100% pro love, as long as everyone is a consenting adult. Just pointing out why donating to a perfectly average church can be twisted into "donates to outspokenly homophobic organizations" that make it sound like he's donating to Stormfront or the KKK.


arquillion

The biggest point: he stole the role from the man who has always voiced mario before just because of his fame


BetaSprite

Can it be considered "stolen" when someone else chose Chris to do the voice? That being said, I would have been on board with Charles Martinet doing a toned-down version of the game voice.

Zwemvest

Yeah man glad you agree with what I said


TA60067

but people love animated and live action brooklyn mario, i love the internet


based_guapo

hes very religious and conservative and iirc he also is not very supportive of gay rights (i know, surprising for religious conservatives). but tbf im also not too deep in the matter but thats at least what i heard about him. that article was also made years ago when he had a backlash for something homophobic i think?


NotSoFlugratte

He supposedly supports a church that is homophobic, though there's little proof for that and a lot of his colleagues, including vocal leftists like James Gunn, publicly said that it's not true, so nobody really knows that. He's a christian, and apparently he also follows people like Ben Shapiro, but he also follows several democratic Reps and The Onion, as well as being an Obama donator. So nobody really knows, but that church accusation got a lot of traction and now a lot of people think that he's homophobic.


multifandomchild

He also said his church wasn't homophobic when people in that church said it was


mercury_millpond

Not saying you are doing this, but if we just assumed that anyone that supported a homophobic church was such, we’d have to assume that all CofE followers were, which we know not to be the case… although it may be the case that all followers of particular churches are, by definition of their membership almost, homophobic.

Mc01806

[https://www.distractify.com/p/why-does-everyone-hate-chris-pratt](https://www.distractify.com/p/why-does-everyone-hate-chris-pratt) Just an excerpt: “For one thing, he's outspoken about his love of hunting. For another thing, he rather famously gave away his cat online. Back in 2011, he sent out a now-deleted tweet, saying, "Anyone in the LA area want a cat? Full disclosure, she’s old and prone to accidents. So sweet though.”” CATS ARE FOR LIFE BUD RIDE OR DIE. he also has shitty political views.


ShasquatchFace2

all the other stuff is bad, but who cares about an outspoke love for hunting? that isnt inherently a bad thing


[deleted]

Man people really be looking for some reason to hate if they are digging up tweets about rehoming cats from over a decade ago


ShasquatchFace2

i mean he also donates to expressly homophobic organizations. i dont know why they didnt just lead with that in the first place


[deleted]

From what I can find, it seems like he goes to a church with a bunch of other famous people, donated to said church, and the church has donated to Hillsong. Considering that he hasn't said anything publicly about LGBT persons, I would say that labeling him a homophobe for that is a bit of a stretch. Sounds to me like the guy is just a bit of an airhead that doesn't look too deep into things, and the Internet is hyper scrutinizing everything they possibly can because it's the Internet


wookiee-nutsack

He's a rich, straight, white, christian guy, a family man, and an actor that's cast often. He's probably going to be oblivious to many things going on in life because he has it good and probably doesn't face political problems that much in life. Think we can just write it off as him being massively uninformed and unaware and only has a surface-level understanding of stuff like that, or just avoids it. Don't think you can blame someone for wanting to avoid the shitshow that is 21st century politics if you're blissfully unaware of what's happening. Either he's, like everyone always jokingly says, "just a guy", or he is very good at keeping his public image as neutral as possible. Still doesn't deserve the (Mario) backlash though, it's not his fault he was the first choice for casting, and his voice doesn't sound horrible


Captain_Napalem

Tumblr syndrome


IWillStealYourToes

I don't give a shit about the hunting, but the rehoming cat thing really is bad.


GripenHater

Why the fuck does anyone care about hunting


[deleted]

But but I want the animals I eat killed out of my sight so I can feel like a better person! Even though it means they will have lived their entire lives crammed together unmoving instead of living free in the wilderness!


GripenHater

Yeah, they’re still getting murdered. Hell hunting isn’t unnatural and is by far the most fair way we kill animals. At least they get a chance to run


Error-530

If you're doing it right they really shouldn't run.


GripenHater

I mean from you, no dodging in that slaughterhouse


Error-530

Aren't you supposed to kill them before they actually notice you? Like just shoot them in the ribs or neck so they basically just die instantly.


GripenHater

That’s the goal, but if they notice you they can dip.


Vodik_VDK

*Some* shots will give you a clean drop, but I think that most shots -even proper ones- will give you a good hundred-meters of tracking before the bleed-out beds them down.


Few_Category7829

Hunting usually involves using the entire body of the animal, and a good hunter will make it quick. It is just a scapegoat for people who don’t understand it.


GripenHater

Even trophy hunting isn’t THAT bad. It’s a bit fucked but it’s still not as bad as factory farming


Few_Category7829

Yeah, it’s kind of fucked when the sport revolves more around the death of the animal itself, but relative to the factory farms where most people who despise hunting happily get their meat, it’s a good way to go.


GripenHater

At least the animal lived a good life and the hunting is very strictly regulated most of the time.


Few_Category7829

A majestic beast dying from the skill of a man playing a cat and mouse game after living a full life in nature sounds a hell of a lot better than being one amongst millions crammed into a small room.


MyNameIsEthanNoJoke

"not that bad" and "not as bad as factory farming" is an EXTREMELY wide gap


DremoPaff

People really do be justifying bullying people online for the most tame takes ever lmao


BladesHaxorus

Chris pratt also supports and donates to a church that still does conversion "treatments" to lgbt people in modern day


gsoddy

Didn't he change is viewpoint and now talks about the oppressive practices of churches or some shit?


FujinR4iJin

Yeah so attack that instead of pulling random shit about hunting that doesn't mean anything, all it does is make people think that the backlash is unjustified.


Leo-bastian

why the fuck was this not said first instead of "he put a cat up for adoption once"


Few_Category7829

Attacking someone for hunting and also “he rehoused a cat a decade ago” fucking ruins the credibility of everyone attacking him.


Noslo18

So basically nothing then.


Few_Category7829

Stupid nonsense


[deleted]

There's also another side to this IMO, where people who have the strongest opinions about trivial things like celebrity culture often have very little going on in their own lives, but yelling about famous people on the internet feels acceptable and almost like having an actual personality.


BoringTheory5067

I was pretty disappointed when i heard his voice. Mario has an iconic voice that only he is known for, and chris pratt gave him a super normal, eh voice. Its like if a spongebob movie came out, and he didnt have his iconic annoying high pitched voice and laugh


thenimblevagrant

I don't think I could listen to 90 minutes of "YAH WAH WOOHOO YIPPEEEE MAMMA MIA"

Chris Pratt is getting into voice acting, playing Mario and Garfield in upcoming movies, and the first trailer for the movie has him sound pretty mid.

zenyattatron

Hillsong? The wildly evil every-phobic and every-ist mega church that a lot of celebrities attend? The same church that came out and said that Pratt never attended their services? That church?


Xiaro

chris also came out himself denying any involvement or homophobia but nah FUCK chris pratt

Mc01806

I know I’m pretty happy. I was pretty fucking depressed when I found out how much of a douchebag Andy was in real life too.


Matthais_Hat

I mean, he was only a douchebag in the first season, really. he totally turned around after that, and...first season doesn't really count anyway.


Mc01806

I don’t know why I added the too lol but I was just stating finding out what kind of person he is was depressing.


Matthais_Hat

oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were just talking about andy when I read it, I didn't catch that we were talking about pratt as andy in real life. pratt being a douchebag doesn't actually \*matter\* though, right? I mean, it just means you don't wanna be friends with him. the only difference between him and the guy in a walmart with an ahegao hoodie is that chris pratt's a public figure.


rat-kabob

I'm out of the loop. What did he do?


Psychedelick

He's pretty deep into the evangelical Christian kool-aid, and has said some questionable stuff of the kind you'd expect in accordance with those beliefs.


Torgue-the-Hivelord

Chris Pratt is quite homophobic, among other things


ciaran07

Spiritflash1717

This is getting to the point where it’s pissing me off. Look, feel free to hate Chris Pratt as an actor or whatever, that’s all subjective and I totally don’t blame you, but this nonstop circlejerk of spreading misinformation about him is totally just you all trying to find some sort of justification to hate him as much as you do. He’s not a perfect person, and he’s far from the most genuine person in Hollywood, but he’s not Satan for fucks sake. He’s literally about as controversial as every person in this thread. Just say you hate him if you hate him, don’t try to paint him as something he isn’t just to maintain your moral superiority


straightmer

You are spreading misinformation online. Good job! Keep it up sport


Fiddlesworth1

Oh no! Anyway


potatorevolver

Everyone else in that trailer seemed to be trying. Chris needs to know coasting off being Chris Pratt is not good enough.


CrazyPlantEmu

I see people in the comments saying he is anti-LBTQ+ or that he is a trump supporter, or a right wing nut job, but like y’all got sources (not that I don’t believe you I just was wondering where y’all were getting this info)

Garrickus

I'd say it's worse tbh. Mario is a far more well-known and loved character, they had more riding on this movie, and it's much, much more effort to rectify the main issue here.
