/vr/ - Retro Games

With people chatting about Bowser's personality and Mario's personality developing through adaptations/time, I've always been interested in Luigi's personality. Stuff like Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! and the live-action movie seem to go in a different direction with him, making him greedy or an earnest main protagonist. But then you see traits of his cowardly/shy personality popping up early in the DIC cartoons and that one Mario World OVA; then later in the Super Mario Adventures comic, and when Martinet recounts coming up with Luigi's voice. It's interesting to see those all happening before the games really did anything with it, and makes me wonder if they all happened independently or had some influence on each other.
