I feel like Luigi has a bigger fanbase than Mario sometimes.

Probably because Luigi displays emotion.

Unfortunately, there are also the people who take Mario's emotionlessness and Luigi's overemotionality the wrong way. Those guys miss the fact that Mario is intentionally unemotional to give him some resonance with the player, instead characterizing him as an exaggeratedly spiteful-for-no-reason sociopath. As for Luigi, well… Nintendo hasn't done his personality any favors what with those mansions he had to go through, but people just call him an outright wimp, despite the fact that he can man up at times.
