How would the movies adapt Wario and Waluigi?
Yes, I know Wario and Waluigi weren’t created by Miyamoto so it’s likely that they wouldn’t even be in the movies at all, but I still think it’s a fun topic to talk about.
One idea I have is that Wario and Waluigi should be from the human world. One thing that defines the Wario Bros, well mostly Wario in general, is that he’s always been jealous of Mario’s success. But the movie portrays Mario and Luigi as being unsuccessful plumbers so there wouldn’t be anything for Wario or Waluigi to be jealous over. Instead, I think Wario and Waluigi should be the ones who are more successful than Mario and Luigi at the start and they’re portrayed as being greedy pigs who love the attention and spotlight, but after Mario and Luigi defeat Bowser and they get the spotlight, Wario and Waluigi get jealous and go to the Mushroom Kingdom to wreak havoc or get revenge.
I also initially thought Wario and Waluigi should be related to the Mario Bros, to play off the common misconception in the fandom what Wario is Mario’s cousin, but then I remembered that Rosalina was made to being Peach’s long lost sister, so having another family member reveal would be redundant. Instead, I think Wario and Waluigi should be Mario and Luigi’s old bullies or rivals from childhood.
But that’s just my thoughts. What do you guys think?
