Within a few months, they’ll either retire the Luigi character or rename him in the US (the same way that Ninja Turtles became Hero Turtles in the UK)

Sets a bad example to the kiddywinks. Climbing walls, throwing shurikens, sneaking up on people and so on.

But it's fine if a hero do all those things?

This is really some « don’t drink battery fluid » kind of sh*t. We’re doomed, are we?

The other person already said they probably won't do it. The name is too central to their brand to change it or back off. I would be curious if we see anything to emphasize his last name somewhere though.

Just like a "hey everyone this is Luigi MARIO a very distinct character not based on any real person!"

This isn't a detail in the name of the agency archer works at, this is a top 10 most famous Vidya game character of all time.

"In the next step of Nintendo's legendary litigious run, the company has decided to sue the entire population of earth for trademark infringement. The lawsuit of Nintendo v. Everyone is set to begin early 2026."

The unknown individual who offed the healthcare CEO has been called "The Adjuster" in various circles for weeks, at least, now.

Yes, like a Silver Age comic book hero.

I know we're informally calling Luigi Mangione the Adjuster, so that makes sense to me. But what "The Adjuster" are people picking Luigi for in this meme supposedly? Is there a video game where the main character is an Adjuster?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

They probably mean that they use pictures of Nintendo Luigi in memes about the shooting (in place of pictures of the human Luigi), not that people select Luigi as a character more often in a certain video game.

Are we sure it was him yet?
