    Explanation: In the legend of Rome’s founding, its founder, Romulus, kills his brother, Remus, with a shovel after Remus jumps over the ditch he was digging for walls and mocks him. Romulus buries Remus and names the city after himself. Brotherly love!

    Considering that they are called the Mario Bros, seems to me that Remus and Romulus characters are played by the wrong character. Since it was called Rome and the game was called Mario, maybe Romulus should have been played by Mario. Did I misunderstand something?

      In the meme format, Mario is typically used for some normal, innocuous comment (like “abortion is a woman’s choice”), while Luigi is used for something off the wall (“Yeetus that fetus”)
