… as a TV show, right? Right?

The Luigi Files: Part 1
Repeat after me, New Yorkers: I’ve never heard that name before. Is that a Tendo game?
Not really a true crime guy, but

Or whatever his name is.
in minecraft that is
Yes, nobody would be that insane to think otherwise…maybe even a reality TV show type of deal would be cool.
Or we could free Luigi, and get the real thing!
Luigis Mansion: A TV show about a mansion filled with kidnapped billionaires. Sprinkle some inspiration from the Saw movies on top, and we’ve got a hit.
I’d fuckin watch that.
That’s a good idea for a ‘dystopian’ thriller book
And also title the show “Luigi”
This is why I now advocate for a Mamdani/Mangione 2028 presidential ticket.
I know he can’t run for president right now but, maybe we can break the rules for the benefit of the people some day.
I mean…yes?
I’d vote for that.
This would go so hard
We may need to rewrite the constitution before this is all over anyway.
That’s crazy, Americans would never vote in someone accused of such serious crimes right? A suspected felon could never be in the White House, that would be unthinkable!

Current world record holder on the highscore
But Luigi is innocent
Right, and that will happen because TV shows aren’t produced by billionaire-owned media corporations.
But Cops is currently on it’s 37th season.
Wasn’t that cancelled?
the show was later picked up by Fox Nation, a streaming service from Fox News Media, and the 33rd season premiered on October 1, 2021
Ah. On-brand for them.

The rookie was the most blatant example for me and i was incredibly disappointed , because i like Nathan Fillion.
I heard it got less bootlicky later on but i never made it that far.
Try to make it on VEO3 and Google will come back saying it’s against the TOS.
Make anything else on the exact same basis except sub out rich people for anybody else… allowed!
First 2 seasons of Arrow were like this. But yes I would watch the shit out of it. Make it a law and order style straight from the headlines and make the rich people resemble real life rich people.
The first 2 seasons of Arrow were so damn good.
'You failed this city!"
Go all out and get Dick Wolf behind this. “Law and Order: Vigilante Justice” where the cops are all inept but there is a dedicated team of New Yorkers working together to bring justice to the streets of America.
Call it the Super Mario Super Show
The protagonist was a rich guy too. A more socially conscious one, but still a rich guy.
Well you got to have resources im fine with rich on rich violence maybe we could put it into an arena of some sort.
Oh, a TV show. I thought you meant for real. Also, isn’t ’evil rich’ kind of redundant?
The news is on TV im not very picky
“evil rich people”
There’s no such thing as an innocent billionaire
Mr robot came close i suppose.
Like a gritty modern Robin Hood?
My thoughts exactly. Robin Hood, but he actually shoots those arrows at a good target.
Ya, like any major media company would go anywhere near that. Great idea though. It would get dynamite ratings.
It would though, and that was why Luigi was such a danger to them. Ultimately they will keep writing stories that people keep clicking on and or reading. Even during Trump’s initial run for president there were journalists to express that they love the fact that Trump was running because people would always read the articles about him. He was sensational.
Then the day came where Luigi committed justified self-defense on a public New York street. I bet there are more journalists that would rather be printing non-stop stories about Luigi because people would rather read them, as opposed to some dumb shit Trump is doing.
So don’t pitch it to a major media company. YouTube stars are born every day.
You’re making a show about killing money men. Good luck convincing the money men to fund it. And that’s how it works.
Otoh, making video is pretty cheap these days.
Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?
Neo Ranga is an old anime about how the Yakuza fund politicians. Guess what else the Yakuza fund? You could tell that anime had no budget.
The issue is hosting. YouTube would never allow that, and other platforms are too small.
Call him Luigi
I mean, I get it, I feel the same sometimes. It’s just much better to strip them of their assets and dump em all on epstein island with a survival package including guide.
Let them learn how to survive for real instead. Much better punishment.
(I mean, look at Australia, those guys became pretty awesome. Not perfect, but hey… We’re all human.)
Weren’t the prisoner in Australia “regular” criminals, though?
It’d be incredibly unrealistic to have them have any degree of success given the ease of determining their motive and potential targets, and the sheer amount of resources the police would undoubtedly throw at finding someone who was killing oligarchs.
I’d watch this show.
Oh, right. A show. Of course.
You mean a hero? That goes around defeating evil who would rather spend billions to ruin humanity instead of millions to improve it?
I think the word your looking for is hero
Not exactly that, but Leverage gets close. Stealing back from rich people who stole first. Except the rich guy rarely ends up dead.
Leverage was/is a pretty ridiculous show sometimes (it’s basically just Ocean’s Five as a series), but I still enjoyed it far more than Dexter
Yeah, the schpiel gets a bit repetitive after a while and you know the good guys will eventually win with some weird last minute twist, but for me the show is carried mostly by the characters and their chemistry. It’s the reason I rewatch a few episodes every now and then
