THIS PAGE IS BEING DEATH-WATCHED BY WEEGEE. BEWARE OF VEHICULAR HOMOCIDE. |
Luigi's Death Stare is an intimidating new meme, a recurring nightmare, and the cancer that is saving the Wii U, thus preserving the Nintendo legacy as a whole.
With Microsoft's shooter games recently dominating the simple lives of average gaymers, all it took was one mean look from one familiar face to give the kid-friendly Nintendo platform some fresh, much-needed attention. In this case, even media attention.
History
Luigi has been known to be foreshadowed by his fat brother in virtually all the Nintendo games featuring the two guidos, and it was time to give the underdog another break. And this time, not in the failed sense of Luigi's Mansion.
The Japs in charge of Nintendo decided that Mario Kart 8 would be the perfect opportunity for Luigi's big break, and unknowingly created a viral monster that somehow got far more attention than it actually deserved, even going as far as being covered by Fox 5 news.
The OP
At the end of May 2014, some YouTube nobody picked up on the frightening glare and posted a video of it titled "Waluigi vs. Luigi," where the Green Gangsta Mothafucka knocks out his subquality replica with a koopa shell and proceeds to stare him down as he rolls past his ass like a G.
As is always the case with the latest internet trends, fanboys and nerds from all over the globe began creating remixes of the original video, including adding rap music to it in an attempt to make it look more deadly than it actually was, and animating Flash parodies to make the intimidation more silly to those who had already been scared of him to begin with.
