WWL 2: Battle Between Brothers

WWL 2: Battle Between Brothers (Also referred to as WWL The Movie 2: Battle Between Brothers) is the sequel to WWL The Movie: The Earth Quake, but mostly acts as the prelude to The Oververse Saga and Baby Luigi Season 3.
== Plot ==
Wario and Waluigi get involved with a civil war between Baby Luigi and Baby Mario after the Government gives Baby Mario the job as protector of Desmoon.
== Production ==
WWL 2 started production in spring 2016 (or fall 2016) but was delayed when the project file got lost, causing the whole editing process to restart. The ending was also reshot to improve upon the original ending and because the old footage was thought to be lost. Eventually in 2017 the movie was re-edited and finished.
== Reception ==
WWL 2 was met with much praise for its great story and inclusion of many fan favorite characters from the TV shows that were out at the time. The plot twists and the things the movie would set up were beloved by fans and the movie went on to be one of the most memorable and popular Overforce films.
== Director's Cut ==
A few months after WWL 2's release, the Director's Cut came out which was up to the third act, the same as the original movie but had new scenes from after Baby Mario gets banished and a whole new final battle and ending. Unfortunately, the original project file that was scrapped was lost in 2016 and could not completely restore the original version of the movie but was still able to show the original ending.
== Extended Ending ==
Included on the DVD, the extended ending takes place right after the movie initially ended and set up plot points for the scrapped version of the third WWL movie, titled Universe No More. This scene was cut from the final release of the movie as Universe No More was cancelled and the extended ending didn't fit into the plot structure of WWL 2.
== Legacy ==
WWL 2 had a massive impact on the Overforce timeline and the movies that were to come. It set up dozens of plot points that would be crucial to movies such as Overforce: Uprising and Baby Luigi Season 3 and many more during the Oververse Saga. The plot twist of Baby Mario being the Overforce was originally planned for a long time but was finally revealed in this movie and shocked fans. Overall, WWL 2 is widely considered one of the most influential movies to the future of Overforce along with Project Batman.
== DVD Release ==
In 2019, WWL 2 was released onto home video with the WWL 2 Special Edition DVD which included the alternate ending, a bonus episode about Waluigi editing the movie and watching the trailer for Universe No More (The only surviving footage of it), WWL 2 trailer, a music video, and two episodes from WWL Season 3. Despite saying special edition on the cover, it is the only form of the movie to be released on DVD and "special edition" isn't on the spine or referred to as the name of the DVD.
== Trivia ==
The entire concept for this movie originated from a joke picture taken in Tomadachi Life where Baby Mario and Baby Luigi were fighting eachother and the whole cast of the movie were picked from that image. The plotline of the movie was also heavily inspired by Captain America: Civil War (2016) which was released the same year filming started on WWL 2. Coincidentally an alternate retelling of WWL 2 titled Baby Luigi: Civil War pays homage to the reference in the title.
The soundtrack for WWL 2 originally was going to be 90% music from the indie video game Undertale but was changed after the editing process restarted and ended up having a new ending and intro and soundtrack.
