Never expected such a realistic depiction of the advantages some people inherently have by virtue of their position over others to be seen in a waluigi MV of all places
I love all the details in this! Even though Waluigi is mostly a character to be made fun of this makes it so easy to empathize with him. Showing Mario, Luigi, and Wario's own franchises while Waluigi hasn't even been included in a single non-spinoff title, showing how everyone but Waluigi gets a baby character, bob-ombs were his special item in Double Dash, what an incredible video! Thank you so much for making it!
I love everything about this! Nintendo seems afraid to give their characters any sort of substance or depth when it comes to their biggest franchises. Often times, the human characters feel less like people and more like mascots, and that never sat right with me. You did an amazing job of adding depth to Waluigi’s character! It’s crazy seeing sections like 1:07 where Waluigi is just… a normal person dealing with life, rather than the purple gremlin side character we expect. I wish Nintendo would give their characters this kind of treatment. They’re all so iconic, and it makes me so happy seeing them humanized like this
This has to be the coolest thing I ever seen! I've always loved Waluigi but this is definitely the first time I've seen someone delve into his character like this, plus the subject matter of the song gives it a more serious tone. I'm enamored with this video.
I got a comment from someone I didn't expect! Thank you! I love the English translation of the Japanese respect for your English cover "Nothing's Working Out" and your singing ability and the arrangement of the song. (Translated by DeepL)
Here are the English lyrics for anyone who is curious. I pulled these from the subtitles of the original video. I hurt someone with stupid, dirty, filthy words. I'll ignore it, but if I take it seriously, I'll feel hurt again. I'm starting to hate something I used to love. You won't do it and can't do it. Don't talk like a hot shot. Nothing's working out It's a war in my head, even if I stand tall Nothing's working out Love me, love me Nothing's working out "This is a mess lol" "We've heard this before" Nothing's working out Nothing's working out Ahh... "Hey, look, awesome, right?" In a field of inspiration and homages, Am I supposed to search for originality or something? My brain is thorny and scattered "This kid that's younger than me is getting popular. Ridiculous, right?" That's your line, right? Whatever, just ignore all of it, please I hurt someone with stupid, dirty, filthy words. I'll ignore it, but if I take it seriously, I'll feel hurt again. I'm starting to hate something I used to love. You won't do it and can't do it. Don't talk like a hot shot. Nothing's working out It's a war in my head, even if I stand tall Nothing's working out Love me, love me Nothing's working out "This is a mess lol" "We've heard this before" Nothing's working out Nothing's working out I won't go back even if I hate it Over time I realized I'd assimilated I mean, there's no going back Why? Why? I won't jump on the bandwagon It's full of passengers, even if I stay still Nothing's working out Nothing's working out Ahh... "I see!" I realize, feel hurt, slow down Compromise just like that, frustration at full blast Dance, dance, dance, dance Break up the party and act innocent, lol Take away everyday people in a flash Foolproof material already in the grave Don't judge me without knowing how hard I've worked or not, just watch me. It's easy to say rude things and be satisfied with yourself. Btw, is that your purpose in life? Repent. Giving up while saying you're bored just disguises lack of effort. Better to stay quiet, but it's a waste of talent. You don't have a future, so go ahead and enjoy life, accomplishing nothing while waiting to die. Nothing's working out It's a war in my head, even if I stand tall Nothing's working out Love me, love me Nothing's working out "This is a mess lol" "We've heard this before" Nothing's working out Nothing's working out Nothing's working out Trembling with fear, though I act tough Nothing's working out Love me, don't love me Nothing's working out Are you faking your concern? I've already noticed Nothing's working out Nothing's working out I'm not doing anything, am I?
