if I was going to play devil's advocate here:

1. Nintendo/Illumination would not want there to be fan backlash from Martinet voicing displeasure with the Pratt thing, and they would have just had him sign an NDA and paid him a shitton to voice his two small cameos
2. Charles Martinet, very active on Twitter, did not tweet any promotion for the Mario movie despite being in it as a cameo, or even like a single tweet by Nintendo/Illumination promotion the movie
3. Charles Martinet did not attend the Red Carpet premiere of the Mario movie, despite being in it as a cameo
4. On the above, Charles Martinet was doing a fan convention in Florida the weekend of the premiere. I really depends on how you feel about Charles' personality; either he went to the fan expo instead because he was salty OR he went to the fan expo because he has a loyalty to his fans. Either way, it is crazy that Charles Martinet did not attend the film premiere for a movie starring a character he has defined for decades (again he is IN THE MOVIE)

There's some other stuff that has been happening the last few months, like Charles' friends in the industry tweeting that he was having a tough time and to send him love and support, but that could have been something else

It all kind of lines up as "Charles Martinet is not happy about this" but again, it's all anecdotal. There is something there, and yeah, maybe it's all a coincidence, but you'd have to be nuts to look at everything and say "0% chance he's not a little upset"
