#mario would NOT act like that

Replaying Mario the Music Box with my roommates and.. yeah...hm

[acrylicqueen]

My hot take: Nintendo constantly mischaracterized Mario in the early 2000s just so they could tell jokes at Luigi's expense. I've been playing the remake of TTYD recently and this phenomenon is ESPECIALLY noticeable in that game.

Like, I'm sorry Intelligent Systems, but Mario would not fall asleep listening to Luigi recount his own journey in the Waffle Kingdom. That motherfucker would be on the edge of his SEAT listening to his brother talk about the adventure he'd been on. He'd be so proud of him!

Likewise, Mario wouldn't just stand around and purposefully choose to do nothing if Luigi was being yelled at and antagonized by a toad. That's INCREDIBLY ooc for Mario to do, and the bit of poking fun at Luigi to an almost cruel degree was never funny in the first place tbh.

Y’all seem to be ignoring the fact game Peach would absolutely adore movie Peach

Proof:

I’d like to imagine someone talking to Mario and just dropping the most insane lore about him and. his daughter is like:

PFF I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT 😭😭 Like Rosalina causally talks with Mario about the time he witnessed the death and birth of the universe, and Clementine is just like "he what."

Is anyone else still extremely baffled as to who reviewed this (apparently) finished sequence and decided that those last few seconds HAD to be cut from the final movie??? It's such a weird transition!! Look at how cute Peach and Toad are as they try to help!! I truly don't get it!!

I need to draw Booigi real soon, the lack of them is making me itchy

[srirachaz]

how do voice actors feel about chris pratt? (and by extension other celebrity voice actors) like imagine spending years honing your craft and learning how to do crazy things with your voice only for major blockbuster roles to go to a guy that can’t be bothered to even pitch his voice differently or add any kind of inflection that’s different from how he usually speaks

please for the love of god tell me im not the only one who doesnt want keanu reeves shadow everywhere i go people are saying it but i dont get it at all and it feels like people are just saying it because hes played "edgy" characters or whatever and they think that that alone means he would be good for shadow

The horde of Dry Bones crawling from the ground like the undead and attacking Luigi sure gets funnier during the wedding scene when we find out they're literally still normal Koopas capable of speaking and acting civilized. Dramatic little fuckers I support it tbh

[ladyluckqueen]

What if Mario, Peach and Bowser were faking the kidnappings to avoid having to interact with other nations?

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

Out of all the things that threw me through a loop in the mario movie, the bros taking their gloves off was the most oddly jarring. I said out loud “they have flesh hAnds!-”

Pre-relationship 4-6 for the Mario Bros.! (Or your favorite of those questions if you only want one haha)

Yes!!! More Mario Bros ramble!!! Blessed!! Thankyou!!

4. Who felt romantic feelings first?

Hard to say, sense they've always been like this. There's not a specific moment either of them could go back to and say when they fell in love, they've always loved eachother, you know?

Though Luigi was the first to recognize these feelings as romantic, and different than how he loved, say, their mom and dad, and that that was something important. Mario didn't think it mattered what kind of love they had, their mama had taught them Love is Love, so what does it matter, right?

This happened when they were like 7.

5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

Maybe not quiet resist, but Mario did consider it for a while.

Around middle school-ish age, 12 or 13, their mom sat the brothers down to explain the difference between Familial and Romantic love, and why that difference was important, kind of assuming they didn't really know the difference in their emotions yet.

The whole thing made Mario feel awful. He'd made his mother worry, his father angry, and worst of all he, the older brother, put Luigi on the line for his own selfish reasoning.

The only reason he didn't fully withdrawal from Luigi and stew in an early sea of self deprecation was Luigi rubbing it in Mario's face that he was right, that the love he has for Mario and the love he has for the rest of their family is different. He did an "I Told You So" dance and everything. He was right and Mario was wrong ha ha ha ha ha!

So yeah. Mario considered resisting his feelings for all of about 20 minutes before Luigi snapped him out of it, and reminded him why that would simply never work. Not for them.

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

Mario doesn't believe in soulmates, he's a simple guy and not all that romantic in the grand scheme sense. Luigi on the other hand is all about Cosmic Connection and the "Over and Over again, life after life, I will find you, and I fall in love with you again and again" kind of cheesy nonsense. He'd be over the moon about it.

Just Another Day at Luigi's Flower Shop

Idea for an episode with an unusual format; The main plot follows a character outside of the crew, while the crew are having one of their usual big chaotic adventures in the background.

The focus character is Amitie from the Puyo Puyo series, who Luigi has hired to help out at his Flower Shop. There's a few reasons he decided to hire some help. The first is that, with the shop gaining popularity and taking up more of his time, having employees around to shoulder some of the load just makes sense for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. There's also the fact that he's constantly getting dragged into the rest of the crew's bullshit or called on to help deal with some major crisis, and in both cases he currently has to close up shop whenever that happens. If he's not the only one working there, it can stay open during regular business hours even when he's inevitably dragged off into adventure kicking and screaming.

Anyway, Amitie's there for her first day at work, and dealing with the usual trappings of a retail job in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom. That is to say, Idiots, Karens, Memes, the actual Karen as one of the few actually decent customers, and an attempted holdup by Wheeler (Shroomy's career criminal grandpa who stole Mario's liver that one time) that she manages to solve through a Puyo Puyo match because of course she does. Also Marcy buys a cactus for her apartment and names it Pinchy.

Meanwhile, Professor E. Gadd buys some fertilizer to experiment with, and ends up creating a giant plant monster that swallows him whole and attacks the city. The crew jumps in to stop it as usual, grabbing Luigi to help since he's the one most knowledgeable about plants. They spend basically the entire episode fighting it in the background, with Bob making at least one hentai joke because of course he does, and then Meggy and Mario get the idea to defeat it using the flower shop's entire stock of weedkiller. Mario uses the Professor's credit card to pay for it on the grounds that he's the one who caused the problem so he's gonna pay for the solution.

Then at the end of the episode when the giant plant stuff has been resolved and Luigi and Amitie are closing up shop we get this exchange;

Luigi: Sorry your fist day was so hectic.

Amitie, as bright and chipper as ever: That's okay Mister Luigi, I was kind of expecting it.

Luigi: Really?

Amitie: Yep! You and your friends kinda have a reputation. If I didn't think I could handle crazy stuff like that I wouldn't have applied in the first place!

Luigi: That's a relief. I was honestly worried you'd run off screaming an hour in like the last few hires.

Amitie: Oh, you definitely won't have to worry about that from me!

Amitie, suddenly extremely grim and serious: Because I really need this job, and I don't care what I have to do or who I have to go through to keep it.

Luigi, shivering slightly: . . .

Amitie, back to cheerful: Well, see you tomorrow Mister Luigi!

Luigi, after she leaves: ...Yeah, she'll fit right in with us.
