Makο Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 "Waluigi is the ultimate example of an individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images, lost in a hall of mirrors. He is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario, the wholesome, all-Italian plumbing Superman. You reflect him to create Luigi, the same but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario, Mario turned septic and libertarian. Then you reflect the inversion in the reflection. You create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere-man. Without the other characters he reflects, inverts, and parodies, he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t. Without a wider frame of reference, he’s nothing. He’s not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships, brands, and commerce, we are all Waluigi." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethera Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I never thought of it this way. Also there's something about Waluigi's crazy eyes that kind of scares me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
