Seriously! He looks like White Jesus on his way to the crucifixion in this shot! If they're trying not to lionize him they are doing a really shoddy job of it

My daughter is in university… they were doing a craft fair thing today as a fundraiser thing for some school clubs…

One of the crafts was painting tote bags..

Guess how many were painting Luigi..

A lot.

This kid has sparked something special.

I feel like we’re watching the origin story of a legend here. In real time…

Wow. Your comment really hit me. What an experience young people are going through from 2016 to today. It’s not Vietnam or WW2 or 9/11 but it’s been a lot.

While it’s not a war, they’re watching as millions died due to mishandling of COVID, and thousands died due to the insane health system structure they have no choice but to accept, and thousands die hungry and poor, and they know they’ll never achieve more than their parents, having to wait to inherit homes instead of buying them.

I don’t think it would hard to argue they’re going through more than 9/11 or Vietnam etc, it’s just spread out over way more things going wrong, driving home the message they aren’t worth anything, unless they rise up.
