so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with
but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."

FOREWARNING FOR GROSS-OUT SKIN CLOSEUP SHIT DON'T YELL AT ME FOR SHOWING YOU has anyone else gotten this really weird phenomenon on youtube. I swear every algorithm on every website is actively and purposely worse now. Where you'll be scrolling through vids after searching for something (I was looking at crochet stuff) and SANDWICHED IN THE MIDDLE OF ACTUAL SEARCH RESULTS... YOU KNOW. LIKE THINGS RELEVANT TO THE KEYWORDS I TYPED
are a couple of completely out of left field SHOCK VALUE VIDS. like to intentionally be alarming. drama vids and things you're enticed to click on bc they're upsetting, and deep deep closeups on zits. what the fuck is going on. Sandwiched between videos about GRANNY SQUARES. crack? is it crack we're smoking????

In a villain arc Gooigi (G) scenario, whose side do you think Luigi (and the other main cast if they're there) would be on? What do you think would be the final push to make G turn against E. Gadd?
Nobody's side really? Luigi & co. are on the "as few people get harmed as possible" side.
The issue with E. Gadd is, as one of the most socially inept scientists in the world, he probably still doesn't quite realize he's created a living being rather than a cool new toy.
So the more Gooigi starts to come into his own and rebel, the more E. Gadd thinks his creation is malfunctioning and takes more and more measures to give Gooigi as little control over his own body as possible until he can be "fixed."
Maybe Gooigi was momentarily permitted to freely roam the lab before he started acting out?
Maybe Gooigi interacted with the captured ghosts? King Boo included?
Maybe King Boo finds Gooigi– who is pretty much a toddler who just learned the word "no" for the first time–extremely easy to manipulate.
Next thing you know E. Gadd is sending out a distress call. His entire collection of malicious ghosts is free again, and who should be the culprit behind it all but the gooey green clone that... from what little E. Gadd can understand... somehow managed to be possessed by King Boo! (which is weird because he thought fore sure he installed a failsafe that ensured Gooigi couldn't get possessed by ghosts)
So Luigi's new mission is to capture the released ghosts and bring back Gooigi so that E. Gadd can figure out what went wrong.
But the thing is Luigi is a little bit more emotionally intuitive than E. Gadd, and over the course of his missions he begins to realize there's more going on with Gooigi than he was initially led to believe.
