Trailer for the third act of Der Mann im Mond dropped today and oooh boy, my fav really did come back so so wrong. Can't wait to properly see him in action next week. 🖤
I was looking back through some concept art, and this particular picture on the wall caught my eye:
Here we have Mario and Luigi (pre-stache, probably in middle school) in front of the statue of liberty, with Luigi holding Mario in a playful headlock while Mario looks a little annoyed.
This got me thinking about how, despite being the most anxious of the two brothers, Luigi is shown as the most prone to prodding and teasing his sibling.
This is such a testament to how completely safe and at home he feels around Mario. I mean, even with other members of his family Luigi tries to be agreeable and unintrusive as possible to the point that he can barely get a bite to eat at the dinner table.
But with Mario he can be truly himself: a little mischievous, a little annoying, and very physically affectionate.
