Why Luigi Is An Awesome Comfort Character

Luigi, the younger yet taller brother of the iconic Super Mario. Luigi has proven to be an essential character throughout the many years he's been around. This green plumber had my heart from the moment I saw him jumping around on my colorful screen. Nintendo did a beautiful job with his complex character portrayal. This Italian man is courageous, kind, and affectionate because of his unwavering love towards his friends/family.

Unfortunately Luigi is often times overshadowed by his more renowned sibling, Mario. This puts Luigi into the position of the underdog. Him being an underdog helps the audience to connect with him. What can I say? I love relatable people (like Luigi). Mario is in the spotlight because of his fearlessness and strength. Luigi however, is more timid, cautious, and just overall more nervous. This causes the duo's dynamic to have more depth. It helps make their relationship special.

Luigi's anxious nature humanizes him. He faces things that scare him to no end plus his insecurities all for the sake of protecting his loved ones. He's extremely selfless. This highlights his strength of character and determination. I swear these two brothers are some of the most determined people I've ever met lol.

In most video games, the hero is fearless and bold but Luigi on the other hand is the exact opposite. We will typically see Luigi shaking with apprehension. It's like a breath of fresh air because of its originality. It offers a deviation from the common norm for heroes. Luigi may be afraid of a lot of things but he isn't afraid of being authentic and genuine with his emotions. He wears his heart on his sleeve for everyone to see. I also love emotionally vulnerable men! ❤️ I'm so glad that Luigi didn't let toxic masculinity infect him!

Greenie always perseveres through any trial he may face not because he is fearless but because he is full of love. This makes the man all the more endearing because he is human. Which is a nice change of pace from the usual mainstream characters who are seemingly invincible lol.

But anyway back to Luigi being awesome. A great defining trait of this plumber is his immovable commitment to his friends and family. Despite all the foes Luigi comes across, his loyalty and willingness to risk everything he has including his life, never falters. He is a great ally to have on your side. He is always ready and willing to lend a hand even if the task is a horrifying nightmare. This unwavering devotion really drives home the point that he is an "unconditional loving" type of guy. His bond with Mario is living proof of this.

Greenie is a distinct individual living his best life in his crazy world. The combination of his timid personality trait and heroic personality trait make him a complex character. Lol the the two traits are kind of a contradiction. I love the fact that it kind of makes him a bit of a paradox. This is exactly what makes this man so enthralling to watch. You can't help but be drawn to him because of how charming he is as a character.

Because he isn't fearless it makes me feel like it's okay to embrace my imperfections, fears, and quirks! Luigi shows fans that it's okay to be different and not live up to other people's expectations! He is such a babygirl ❤️

So, I noticed that once again Luigi's costume looked different than everyone else's. For example, everyone turns into a raccoon but Luigi turns into a fox with the tanooki leaf. This unique costume change applies to his cat form too. His ears are more rounded while the rest have more pointed ears. Luigi has stripes/spots while everyone else has one color. Although Toad does have two small stripes on the side of his head but I digress. Heck even the tip of Luigi's tail is different. Mario, Toad, and Peach all have white tipped tails while Luigi has a dark tipped tail.

It made me think to myself, "What kind of cat is he?" I saw other people guess a few things like Bengal, Cheetah, or a Serval. My guess is a Serval. Allow me to explain lol. You can see Luigi shares multiple physical characteristics with a Serval cat: lanky body, round ears, stripes/spots, white underbelly, etc. Another reason that leads me to believe that Luigi is a Serval cat is the fact of what Serval cats represent. They represent a sense of independence, self reliance, and self-interest for the sake of survival. Throughout many games, videos, etc we see that Luigi is oftentimes left behind. (Don't bash Mario! He's a good guy!) Anyway, when a person is by themselves so often like Luigi is, they usually develop these types of attributes.

Which is kind of sad to think about because poor Luigi probably developed these skills to survive the heartache of loneliness. That's a good angst idea now that I think about it lol. My third and final reason to believe this hypothesis, is the fact that Serval cats are really well known for their excellent jumping skills. Who else is really well known for their high jumping abilities? Luigi. As a matter of fact Luigi is so good at jumping that he can jump even higher than Mario! This just goes to show how well his talent is because Mario's nickname is "Jumpman." If you can jump higher than someone nicknamed, "Jumpman" then you are REALLY good at jumping. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk today! 😂

Luigi Headcanon:

Luigi is a HORRIBLE liar. He gets way too nervous/paranoid so he accidentally blurts out the truth during the weirdest moments. Like for example, one time he ate Mario's pie that was in the fridge while Mario was in the shower. He forgot that it was Mario's but it was too late because he already ate it. So he hid the evidence and just sat on the couch as stiff as a board; staring wide eyed at the tv in front of him. Mario gets out of the shower to go get his pie but of course he finds out it's not there. So he asks Luigi about it to which he stutters out a reply, a little too soon. But Mario shrugs it off as he sits beside Luigi. Mario gets about 40 minutes into scrolling through the TV channels when out of nowhere Luigi jumps up from the couch, grabs Mario by the shoulders and blurts out "I LIED! I DO KNOW WHERE THE PIE IS! ITS IN MY STOMACH BECAUSE I ATE IT!" To which he then apologizes like thirty times in one minute. He's too paranoid and sweet to lie lol. He feels sooo guilty even if it's a small white lie .

Peach Headcanon:

Ya know how Peach always bakes a cake for Mario after a victory? Well I like to think she doesn't actually make the cake but she steals the credit for it. The royal toad chefs are the true cake makers. The best part is that it's just box cake. Nobody knows about this except for the royal toad chefs. Please ignore my poor editing skills lol 😂
