I just watched the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie, and the chokehold big age gap Mario and Luigi has on me right now is insane. Mario being extremely overprotective of the boy he raised? Muah *chefs kiss*. I now want a story where Luigi is in school, and Mario just tries and helps him with his homework or something. I need more domestic Mario and Luigi. I just wanna see the two of them sitting in their apartment in Brooklyn watching tv together, I wanna see them enjoy walks, do actual plumbing, I wanna see Mario teach Luigi plumbing.
Just fluff. Sorry about the rant btw.
No no no! You're so right. You are so very very right.
I love the double-date dinner scene when Luigi starts talking about his relationship with Mario.
L: 'Cos Mario, he brought me up! He's been my mother my whole life.
M: Hey!
L: I mean father. My father. He's been my father, my uncle, my brother - everybody!
Luigi doesn't even know who his parents are.
And if Mario legitimately raised Luigi alone while impoverished and without any family he could rely on, he did such a fantastic job?? It's no wonder he's the most abrasive of all the Marios (not that I have a problem with that. Grumpy Mario my beloved.)
Don't even get me started on Mario being his little brother's wingman, trying to feed Luigi dialogue under his breath when he's attempting to chat up Daisy.
Also him aggressively backseat driving and trying not to panic while Luigi is a maniac behind the wheel?
Putting himself through hell to help his little bro rescue the woman he loves?
One of the best parts was when, after Bowser President Koopa attempts to gouge Luigi's eyes out in a moment of rage, Mario jumps in and grapples Koopa to get him off. He gets tased for his efforts, but succeeds in keeping his bro's eyeballs intact.
Then in the devo chamber in the next scene you can see Mario nervously checking on Luigi in the background, cupping his face as he ensures there's no serious damage done.
Sorry Mario, Luigi was kinda right to describe you as his mother.

I did really like Green Lantern: First Flight. I don't know if it was very true to the character because I haven't gotten to lantern comics yet (with the exception of Circle of Fire). So maybe it wasn't a good introduction maybe it was but it did really sell me on Hal as a character.
more power to you! i personally didn't think it was a great adaption, but if you liked it and it sold you on hal, that's great!
