Nintendo Cinematic Universe wrote:In the past, the legendary warrior Mario, along with his resentful brother Luigi, has protected the Mushroom Kingdom from the vicious assaults of their enemies, chief among them the Turtle Tribe. However, an incident causes Mario to fall out of favor with Princess Peach, the kingdom's ruler. He is banished from the kingdom and sent down a pipe, which transports him to a city called Brooklyn in a strange world. Mario finds that he can no longer use his Mushroom Kingdom power-ups in this world, leaving him as a normal human. While getting accustomed to his new surroundings, Mario makes friends with a young archeologist named Daisy and her small team. However, back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi, still jealous of his brother, sets in motion a plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom while also seeking to destroy Mario once and for all.
It's basically Thor. And by basically, I mean Thor with a mustache and Odin with boobs.

That's weird that they make luigi a villain instead of one of the many villains available.

I guess they saw this and ran with it.

I mean, the idea of Luigi resenting the shadow of Mario is a really old one... that's why the Mario and Luigi/Thor and Loki meme has so much traction.

I'm not trying to pile-on Mississippi right now, but reddit had this on the front page and I thought it was pertinent to discussions that are going on in other threads:

That article wrote:The Mughals also known to replace put on some Tusk swords on the War Elephant Tusks which reinforced by kinds of bangles made in steel or precious metal as brass or gold, replacing the original Tusk in process. And that is terrible it's to fix on each end of these Tucks a huge Sword having a wavy blade like those of a giant Kriss, forged in welded steel.

Not sure if it's someone editing English Wikipedia who speaks English as a second language or if a schizophrenic is using a wiki as platform for their word salad. Seems like it's mostly accurate, which would normally imply the latter, but the way the vocabulary is pretty advanced but the syntax is nearly unparseable reminds me strongly of the latter.
