I don't think Luigi is the right person for this. Literally could've chosen any image but they chose one loaded with the baggage of being associated with being hugely anti-establishment.

Luigi hasn't done anything anti-establishment.

Except kill a healthcare CEO...? That doesn't count?

Your crusade to exonerate him is not really relevant though. People have been using the image of Luigi as a symbol of fighting back against billionaires, for months now. The choice to use it here is weird, given that they're casting the FBI as that same character.
