Guess what I saw during the weekend and had to draw as soon as I got home? It's a fun movie and do recommend! Would watch again! 

Also, I've been a Bowuigi fan for years, but never got the motivation to draw them...UNTIL NOW.

The End/The Beginning

[offonaherosjourney]

I don't know who decided that the thing the Super Mario Bros movie needed (besides the cameos, the references, the music, and the easter eggs) was a masochist Luma hell-bent on giving the audience a lowkey existential crisis, but whoever you are I LOVE YOU

[spiderman-into-the-sapphiverse]

guess who watched the plumber movie (it was good)

“Thinking about your Brother?”

“We’ve never been apart this long.”

Here’s a moment I don’t see a lot more of people talking about, the devastated look in Mario’s eyes just kills me. He probably feeling so much guilt over losing Luigi after he basically forced him down into the sewers just to try and prove to their father wrong. Not to mention how utterly terrified he also must be, not knowing if Luigi had been hurt, or if he was even still alive.

He must be remembering the last interaction he had with him, wondering if that would be the last memory he would ever have of his little brother. As well as his father disapproving words:

“And the worst part? You're bringing your brother down with you.”

Here's my Pitch for a Luigi's Mansion movie

Opening scene is King Boo getting word of the Mario Brothers, and sending Boos to spy on them.

By now, the brothers are firmly established in the Mushroom Kingdom as the Mario Brothers, and when we first see them now, they’re putting up fliers offering their services.

But immediately, we can see that when someone stops to talk to them, everyone seems to be gravitating towards Mario. Which is fine, and even expected, as people know him as the guy that saved the Kingdom.

But it’s not long before Luigi’s insecurities rear up their ugly heads, to the point where he feels like he can’t even tell Mario about them.

What insecurities exactly? The one’s you’d expect: only being known as Mario’s brother, or the guy that got trapped in a cage that needed Mario to rescue him. Which get worse when someone makes an offhand comment that gets under his skin. It’s essentially a parallel to what their dad said to Mario: about holding Mario back now that he’s a hero.

But here’s the secret: those comments don’t really bother him. It’s already been established that Luigi has been Mario’s #1 fan since before they even knew the Mushroom Kingdom existed. If people gush over Mario more, they’re just repeating what he’s known since they were babies. Why would that kind of talk start to bother him now?

No. For Luigi’s insecurities to be as bad as we’re being shown, it has to go deeper than that.

The real fear is that one day MARIO will see that, and just decide he’s done looking out for him. You thought he was heartbroken when trapped in the cage? NOTHING compared to what happens upon thinking of that.

However long that takes, everything comes to a head when Luigi gets the notice about winning the mansion in the mail, and he decides to go check it out. 

Whether it’s because he suspects something is up or he’s too distracted by his insecurities, does not matter. What does is that he decides to go alone to prove he’s not just Mario’s little brother.

And I will emphasize this right here and now: Luigi does not blame Mario for ANY of this. He loves Mario the same as he always has, if not more, and it’s that exact love why he’s so scared of losing him.

He shrugs off Mario’s questions as to why he’s going alone, and leaves. Which then prompts Mario to check out the notice himself, and after some research, realizes Luigi’s about to walk into a trap, and runs off to try and stop him.

While all this is happening, we need two different sets of flashbacks, wherever they make sense: flashbacks of them growing up, to show how their relationship changes into what it is now. And snippets of a more recent one, with Mario telling him he’s moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, offering him a chance to come with; Luigi panicking because a) he’s still traumatized by what happened, and b) he’s scared of losing his brother again if he says no.

Eventually Luigi makes it to the mansion, and it plays out like it did in the game. I trust Nintendo’s ability to make sure it stays as true to the game as it can be. It’s still about getting rid of the painting ghosts and all that, but keeps coming back to the insecurities.

And if there's a way to add their Twin Sense to the story, preferably when Luigi finds something of Mario's, that would be AWESOME.

Mario, on his side, is not just trapped in a painting. The painting itself is essentially a pocket dimension where he can see everything that’s going on, as one of King Boo’s cruel torture tactics, but no matter how loud he screams or yells, Luigi can’t see or hear him unless in the throne room, because that’s where the physical painting actually is.

It's revealed the Boos had been observing Luigi for weeks to figure out the best way to mess with him, and while they usually just do what we’ve seen them do in the games, they tried something different because Luigi essentially did all the work for them, and enhanced his insecurities to lure him to the mansion to trap him there.

And of course, when he faces King Boo, he gets hit where it really hurts: the fallout of all those flashbacks: every time Luigi got hurt or was picked on, and Mario stepped in. Or only Moving to the Mushroom Kingdom to make Mario happy. King Boo laughing at him and saying how he’s so weak he can’t even fight his own battles, no wonder Mario got taken so easily.

Luigi starts to believe it, maybe even starts crying, I won’t object, but then he hears Mario banging on the painting, making him look up.

Whatever Mario says here is meant to get Luigi to look back again, and we see a flashback montage. Sure, Mario stepped in at first, but when Luigi got older, he started doing the same. And even had Mario teach him to defend himself, despite the fact that it scared the shit out of Mario every time he fell or got hurt. The very last flashback is of when Mario finally made him talk about moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Luigi admitted how scared he was about the whole idea. And you guessed it, Mario gives a bona fide Good Big Brother speech that ends with another Bro Hug.

And THAT is what gives Luigi the strength to get back up and kick King Boo’s ass straight back into the painting where he belongs.

Keep the game’s ending in there, or the fans will riot, then give us a Proud Big Brother moment after they’re home safe.

Then it ends with them hanging up more fliers all over the Mushroom Kingdom, but now we see there’s a new thing added to their services: Boo Hunting.

Oh yeah. And to keep with the first movie's continuity: soundtrack only has music from or before the year the game came out.

This would be November 2001, so use your imagination.

After credits scene, since the movie 'officially' dropped tonight! Not sure what it's implying, but perhaps a potential sequel 🤔

“I’m sorry I lost you.”

Multiple people have talked, done essays, and have had amazing discussions on the reunion scene and the forehead touch. But I just love these four frames? Mario’s eyes speak so much

Disbelief

Relief

Guilt

Joy

He’s feeling all of this, all of this while desperately and tightly holding onto Luigi, all those emotions are directed towards his little brother

He can’t believe he’s standing here, Luigi right in front of him, alive and well and real in front of him

The relief he feels nearly bringing him to his knees if he wasn’t clinging to his brother so tightly, finally able to breathe again

He feels so guilty over losing him in the first place, if only he held on long enough,

He can barely contain the overwhelming joy he feels, how complete he now feels after two days of being torn apart from his twin, his other half

All this and more happened in these four single frames, Mario in that moment is finally at peace now that he has his brother by his side again. And it’s so so beautiful and it makes my heat and soul melt with happiness 😭🥺

Hello there! New Super Mario Bros. Comic Dubs just Dropped!

Huge thanks to @kiingbiing and @dibujos-de-la-orilla for giving me permission to dub their comics for today's video!

[fleshbook]

I'm. I'm not sorry

[ao3cubi]

So I saw the Super Mario Bros movie the other day and I have Thoughts And Opinions™ on a couple things (idk what counts as a spoiler but it's all under the 'keep reading' just to be safe) P.S.: Damn this got longer than expected 💀

First and foremost, we all know it's not a masterpiece. It's not meant to be life-changing, it's meant to be fun. It's meant to entertain kids who have little to no knowledge of the Mario Bros games AND avid Mario fans at the same time, and I think the movie managed to do it pretty well.

I've read a few comments saying they didn't like the pace, that it was weird and fast. Y'all. That's how you keep a kid's attention. Hell, that's how you keep MY attention (as someone with ADHD). It's colourful, funny, and has great upbeat songs that had the whole theatre smiling and doing little dances in their seats and even singing along! And most important: the kids were DELIGHTED, they weren't talking or walking around out of boredom AT ALL, they were completely engrossed in the movie, we all were.

And now that I've made clear I liked the movie a lot, let's move on to less favorable opinions, random thoughts and such.

They better be making a Luigi centric movie soon because what the fuck was that. Yeah I get the Main Character is Mario but you can't have Luigi 'disappear' from most of the movie AFTER BEING IGNORED BY HIS FAMILY AT DINNER. "He was a prisoner" well have him try to escape or something! I don't care! I just need him to be appreciated!

Also we know Mario trained but... when did Luigi learn how to fight for the final battle? [New headcanon unlocked: Luigi is a natural at fighting but tries to avoid it at all costs because he's scared]

Loved Princess Peach, what a girlboss. Would've liked to see her girlbossing even more but yeah. Chef's kiss.

MARIO AND LUIGI. Their relationship, how they care for each other, how fucking happy and relieved they are to be reunited I just-- flawless, perfect, incredible, 100000/10.

Bowser just wanted to be happy okay? I know that's not how one does things but... he was trying. I'm sad now.

Also Bowser's hot and the voice they've given him in Spanish was a great nice amazing surprise.

Blue Shell Koopa has a place in my heart now.

The Luma is Gen Z.

Luigi saving Mario and joining forces for the final battle? Sharing the star? I teared up that was so GOOD. (Does not make up for the lack of Luigi in the rest of the movie but it's a good start.)

Still not over the cuteness of the second post-credit scene.

Loved the bowuigi scenes, didn't know that much bisexuality could be conveyed in so little time. Another win for the community. Hey Nintendo I've got a few ideas for a Bowuigi movie if you're interested.

The DK & Mario scenes are phenomenal and there aren't enough words to describe how perfect their conversation inside the eel was.

If you got this far, thank you for reading my nonsense! I hope you have a very nice day and you're more than welcome to comment/reblog with your own Toughts And Opinions™. This movie has me in a chokehold.

It has also given me ideas to continue the Bowuigi fic. Win-win.

"I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!"

"MARIO IS A BITCH-ASS MOTHERFUCKER! HE PISSED ON MY FUCKING WIFE!"

"THAT'S RIGHT, HE PULLED HIS FUCKING PLUMBER PANTS DOWN, AND HE PISSED ON MY FUCKING WIFE! AND HE SAID HIS DICK WAS 'this-a big!' AND I SAID 'THAT'S DISGUSTING!'"

"SO I'M MAKING A CALLOUT POST ON MY TWITTER.COM: MARIO, YOU GOT A SMALL DICK, IT'S THE SIZE OF THIS MUSHROOM EXCEPT WAY SMALLER. AND GUESS WHAT? HERE'S WHAT MY DONG LOOKS LIKE!"

(explosion)

"YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, ALL SPIKES ALL SCALES! LOOK AT THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE TWO BALLS AND A BONG!"

"HE FUCKED MY WIFE SO GUESS WHAT? I'M GONNA FUCK THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM! THAT'S RIGHT, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET: MY SUPER FIRE PISS!"

"EXCEPT I'M NOT GONNA PISS ON THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM. I'M GONNA GO BIGGER. I'M PISSING ON BROOKLYN!"

"HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, PLUMBER BROS?! I PISSED ON BROOKLYN, YOU IDIOTS!"

"YOU HAVE 23 HOURS BEFORE THE PISS DRRROPLETS HIT THE FUCKING CITY! NOW GET OUT OF MY FUCKING SIGHT BEFORE I PISS ON YOU, TOO!"

Oh my god?? I rewatched the Super Mario Bros movie today and...

LUMALEE CAN GET OUT OF HIS CAGE?

That twinkling masochist wasn't just enjoying his imprisonment, he was there because he wanted to. Did Bowser's minions even capture him? Or did Lumalee happen to overhear Bowser saying he planned to slaughter his prisoners in ritual sacrifice during the wedding and went "holy shit, that sounds like such a rad way to die, I call dibs"

[turniptwat]

I wish I could actually go to theaters to watch the Mario movie but this is all I got
