"It-a be one of those days, Mario..."

yeah this is just fun to think about. it being overdramatic is part of that fun :)

@RaguRando This is just the sort of thing some people find fun. For me, there is something strangely delightful about this depressed Luigi reflecting on everything he and Mario have done. But I suppose the silliness that comes of melodramatizing something already silly isn't for everyone.

@RaguRando At least it's not as bad as trying to rationalize the Cars universe. I mean, have you SEEN the kinds of theories people come up for those movies?

Wait, this was a thing, and was made in 2015? Wow, 5 years later, and I'm still finding out about weird/strange things like this exist.

"This is a shot at a collection of ideas I had a few years ago, about looking critically at the universe of Super Mario Bros. in light of the total lack of explicit narrative in the original game in particular. Who are these strange men? What motivates them? By what right do they wreak the havoc they do on this strange place? What do they feel about where they are and what they’re doing? And so, this is one lens through which to look at all that, with Luigi, the second brother, the also-ran, as a complicit onlooker, wandering now through some fractured, rotting liminal place in this strange world, reflecting on it all in scattered fragments." -Designer Josh Millard.

Games like this are bizzare byproducts of desperate attempts to find substantial implicit meanings in a work that REALLY doesn't try to be taken so seriously. Mario is not Tolkien, Shakespeare or Rowling.

WHY, WHY IS LU LUIGI SMOKING WEED????
