main toad and the other toads in the movie-verse need to be absolute bros and besties to luigi to atone for their cruel early 2000s past
For real.
I think since the movie focuses more on character and narrative compared to the games, and The Mushroom Kingdom is depicted as a strange new place The Mario Brothers have never seen before rather than the home they grew up in, there is a lot more pressure to craft an idealistic, friendly little kingdom one can get emotionally attached to and want to see protected.
And I'd say they did a pretty darned good job!
Hopefully this keeps up, because I love the vibe!
(Fingers aggressively crossed for Luigi and Toad being besties in the sequel.)
