    I kinda feel bad for Luigi. He’s been bossed around for his entire life by everyone else and is always in the background of his brother. He has to bottle up how he felt for years because he felt like nobody was there for him, which is kind of scary to think about. Mr. L was never evil, he was just depressed and neglected.

    I would argue that Mr.L isn't the truest form of Luigi, but an exploration of what he represses. A lot of professionals use different forms of "hypnosis" to explore feelings we don't want to have/won't let ourselves know we have.

People can have thoughts they don't want to have but still kind of agree with, and thus keep them hidden because they don't want to hurt the people they know!

      Basically, he just has an extremely overactive fear response, so when the hypnosis eliminates his inhibitions and fears, he's super brave. Granted, he's not any braver than anyone else under the influence of hypnosis, but he seems a lot braver because of how overly scared he is normally.

      Well, on a base level, it means she truly prefers bowser to Mario, and is probably sympathetic to his position as a single parent just trying to get a complete family for the koopalings. The koopalings are Bowser's adopted children, and as you saw in the beginning, MatPat has already done an episode on that. So, yes. Peach, on a basic subconscious, or even conscious level, cares about Bowser more than she cares about Mario.

    The Luigi “death stare” was evidence in plain sight, like, you know when Luigi wins at that one sports game but Mario comes and steps on his shoes? Then queue the awkward pause and Luigi just sits there scratching his face...
    Like, you are in the center stage, all eyes on you. This your moment! And your brother is straight up scuffing’ your kicks. You know that it’s like, street rules? You’d get shiv’d in the alley... but here in a packed stadium, you’re getting off light son.

    Interesting theory idea. One problem though. Unlike the CZcamsrs in the video who said that they felt fully there while being hypnotised Luigi is confused when Mario finds him in the Underwhere. He doesn't know how he got there and says the last thing he remember is being surrounded by Bleck's minions. He figured that was how he got there. (We know of course that he was "killed" by Dimentio in Chapter 6).

    I just think Luigi had it all in him. He had all those feelings bottled inside out of jealousy and lack of self-respect.
    I mean, don't we all have a little of Mr. L? Jealousy of our peers who seem to be doing better? Insufficient self-respect to accept our growing pace? Sometimes, even anger issues that can lead us to do terrible things? Don't all of these things not manifest due to inhibition, be it conscious or not?
    Maybe some of us, if hipnotized in our worse moments, when we crave the worst things we could wish for, could do much worse than even Mr. L.

      Jaydom Studios Actually that's a different Luigi. It's complicated but here it is: In Bowser's Inside Story you can find a secret boss where you fight the Shroobs (from Partners in Time). There the brothers mention to Starlow that they fought the Shroobs when they were babies. Meaning that they aren't the same brothers as the ones where Luigi had "dark secrets". And since in Dream Team the brothers already knew Starlow at the start of the game that means that you play as the babies (from Partners in Time) in Dream Team and not the "Older Mario & Luigi" from Partners in Time. A mouthful, yes, but debunked.

    • @gormlessCreator

  • @jacobbondurant7186

    well... Luigi may HAVE a bad SIDE to him... but you can't really blame him! his self-esteem is quite low (shown by his life-sized mental image of himself in Mario and Luigi: Dream Team), he was traumatized as a baby (according to ANOTHER 1 of MatPat's theroies), his allies always expect him to obediently do as told (and he DOES!), AND he's ALWAYS overshadowed by his HEROIC, FEARLESS, FAMOUS BIG brother Mario "HOORAY! MARIO SAVED THE DAY! Oh, hey Luigi..." He 's always seen as the sidekick, the side guy, the tag-a-long, the scared-y cat... the iconic... Player 2...
    Heck! Just LOOK at his death stare in Mario Kart 8!
    I mean, it is CLEARLY shown that Luigi loves his brother, will do anything for the betterment of good, is always patriotic and trustworthy towards his duty as a hero and ghost buster (no matter how,scared, terrified, mortified, and cowardly he is due to his infantile traumatization), finishes the job he started, AND will happily follow the orders of those he trusts... he may not be the most self-confident individual, taking little scraps of pride and praise as they come and go BECAUSE everyone sees him as the lesser of 2 brothers, but he's still an honest, careful, and kind soul!
    But... He doesn't want to be Player 2 anymore...

He's finally free to be proud of who he is and isn't afraid to show it. Like a compressed spring. After being put down by his brother all the time, with the help of Hypnosis he's free to become an explosion of self pride. "Hey, Mrjumpsallthetime! Now we'll see who's the better Jumper!"

      @@octogaming3815 well, Mr. L could just be the jealousy part of Luigi. Luigi tries so hard to get some respect and recognition, but mario absorbs it all. Notice how in games where mario receives compliments and recognition, hes so used to it he doesnt show much emotion anymore. However, luigi when he receives just a HINT of recognition, he makes a big deal out of it because he never gets any in the first place. I understand what you mean by the brothers love each other, which they do. Mario would choose Luigi over treasure or a castle any day, but that doesnt mean Luigi is happy. Can we blame him for becoming Mr. L? Over the years his sanity probably drained and he changed his moral code. Luigi is jealous of Mario's jumping abilities, even though he jumps HIGHER than Mario. Which means, Luigi has been put off as such a let-down, that he wasnt aware of what hes capable of doing nor gave himself credit for anything, until he awoke his mind and became Mr. L. In the state of Mr. L, he finally had his chance to shine and he uses that chance in a strategic way. Heck, he was so great that he became the final boss of the game! Obviously, the player knows what Luigi is capable of so when they see luigi, scared out of his shorts, they frown upon him. But, hes scared of danger because he doesnt know that hes able to get the job done because everyone just sees him as a let-down. Luigis life is very sad, this is why hes my favorite mario character.

    You know the game Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam? Yeah, sorry Mat. This is paper Luigi, not normal Luigi. The paper mario world is separate to the normal mario world

      @Sidney J. Duffy And sorry to break it to you but if you payed attention to Super Paper Mario youd know this theory isn't right

    • @junpei5226
      @junpei5226 Před 3 lety

      @Sidney J. Duffy You mean how the games hinted at Luigi being brainwashed and even showing other people brainwashed against their own will? Don't try to be a smart aleck if you can't even pay attention to such a simple detail.

      @Sidney J. Duffy And What's the point of replying to mine if my reply was talking about the theory?

    • @junpei5226
      @junpei5226 Před 3 lety

      @Sidney J. Duffy So it's ok for you to reply but not me? That's pretty hypocritical no matter what reason. You knew exactly what I was talking about and the OG comment the person made was to specifically debunk this theory.

    Well the game specifically says that her powers are extremely strong, so it probably has a much stronger effect like I’d say amplifying your emotions of hatred and such.

      This is clearly just a poorly thought-out hypnosis cliché if you ask me.

      bud, he researches the theories and spend a whole day to arrange this. Nintendo is one HELL of a Dark COMPANY. They Put many secrets, DARK SECRETS. mmmkay

    This game is my childhood, I played the Wii first, I loved the twisty villain, the gameplay, I really like the fact that there's a theory made by you!

      +Erin Simon its more of luigi really wants to marry peach mocks bowser and is jealous of mario but he was too shy and kind to do that so he just ended up with second best daisy... (well daisy is hot too)

    I honestly don't blame Luigi, after everything MARIO has done I'd do the same thing

  • @samuellai1908
    @samuellai1908 Před 2 lety +4

    Luigi wasn't brainwashed, he was a victim of the seed of the sprout Dimentio planted that possessed Luigi's body, who is really Mr L

    Also, let's not forget, Luigi helped a random internet person bake a Mother's Day cake in a dream. Luigi is just a great guy.
