From: The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Genre: Movies
Who said it?: Lumalee
The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the 2023 computer animated movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Based on Nintendo‘s hit gaming franchise, the movie has the titular brother, Mario and Luigi, transported/warped to the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi is then captured by Bowser and Mario joins forces with Princess Peach to try to save his brother as well as save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser’s invading forces.
The quote comes from the middle of the film. Luigi is sent to Bowser’s dungeon where he comes across the other prisoners, one of which is Lumalee, a rather chipper but nihilistic Luma. The other captives warn Luigi that Luma isn’t exactly all there. This is when Lumalee delivers the quote in rebuttal.
Geek wisdom: Although Lumalee does come off as a little loopy, he does have a point in a way. Just because you are different or you like to do your own thing or you think differently, people will think that you’re strange. But being different doesn’t mean you’re crazy. It just means you have a different way of seeing the world. At times, it’s these very “crazy” people who become the greatest innovators as they will push the boundaries of what is “normal” and “possible.”
