Very funny comic, but you should not have used the Hindu Deity Shiva. I find it very offensive that you depict a holy deity as a motorcycle being ridden by a videogame console.
The Shiva depicted in the Final Fantasy games has no relation in depiction or background to the Hindu deity.
Whats done is done, but some research into what you post on your site would be appreciated.
Very funny comic, but you should not have used Final Fantasy XIII. I find it very offensive that you chose to embody the series in the form of the Hindu Deity, Shiva.
The series depicted here does not and should not have any relation to the Hindu religion.
What’s done is done, but some sensitivity into what you post on your site would be appreciated.
guys who protest about depictions of race, religion and politics should not come and visit this site…why not go tell something to the guys at PA for their depiction of Jesus too, this is just humor.
what does make me cry inside though is the fact that the xbox is getting the games that once were precious to the playstation brand…it just doesn’t feel right… like when i saw a sonic game on a nintendo system…it’s just not right
Come on you two, don’t you think you’re being a little ridiculous. Now I can appreciate religious protection and all, but no christ-affiliated religion ever complains when someone does a jesus joke. You honestly believe that Shiva from FF wasn’t in the least bit conceived from the Hindu Shiva? The new Pixar character Wall-E design was practically stolen because the creator thought of a cool look, but that cool look came from a movie he had seen 8 years before. I really do think that Shiva must have been drawn from the Hindu deity Shiva. Funny comic nonetheless.
ouchie, totally seen that coming here on the vidcons…But since today it’s the big day for lord playstation I hope you’ll be ready for his wild card too.
This is amazing. And it completely captures the douchelike ability of Microsoft and PS3. He doesn’t even do anything but gape as Lord 360 leaves with Shiva. Awesome.
I worship the co-gods of PS3 and Final Fantasy and I find it horribly offensive that you mock me this way with your false 360 idol. I suggest sensitivity training so you don’t offend us PS3 fanboys from now on.
Queen Mother and A Wizard, aside from lampooning Rohan’s post, also bring about the point in the first place, which apparently was missed. Shiva is old-world iconography in the same way that the crown or feudalism is old-world iconography.
The personification of seemingly unrelated modern contrivances into historical symbols is the humor of the comic. This was a deliberate move by the illustrator, and it was clever.
I guess being clever with a prime deity is still an offensive thing to say. That said, you can’t possibly expect to read a satire without getting your toes stepped on — even on a seemingly harmless topic like video games.
Why don’t you cry some more? I don’t ever see any Communists ever cry when people use their form of government as a joke. Just take it in a good sense and grow a funny bone!
I was under the impression that The Queen Mother’s post was along the lines of a parody
so I responded accordingly
but I forgot that this is the Internet
and that it is very serious business
Very funny comic but you should not have used video game consoles in your monarchy design. I find it very offensive to see my beloved consoles embodied as corrupt kings and officials.
The consoles depicted in your comic have no relation in background or appearance to kings or royalty.
Whats done is done, but some research into what you post on your site would be appreciated.
Very funny comic, but you should not have used the paper you drew this on. I find it very offensive that you depict a castle, video game console, and kick ass bike in mere paper and pencil.
The pens and paper depicted in the Final Fantasy games has no relation to brown pens and paper used here.
Whats done is done, but some research into what you post on your site would be appreciated.
Un cómic muy gracioso, pero no debiste haber utillizado la frase “el dinero no puede comprarlo todo”. Me parece altamente ofensivo el hecho de que alguien utilice esta frase para darle a nuestras amadas consolas un aire capitalista y en el cual el dinero está por encima de la lealtad y la creatividad.
La serie de cómics en esta página no tiene y no debería tener ninguna relación con el dinero como forma de llegar a la felicidad.
Lo que está hecho, está hecho. Pero un poco de sensibilidad en lo que dibujas en tu página sería muy apreciada.
I love the word butt hurt. It’s creeping up on ‘motherfucker’ for best word ever. More Xbox heckler please. God, even in comment sections, things still devolve into forum bitching and moaning. Maybe forums just depict real life and what we truly feel.
Very funny comic but you should not have allowed repetitive comments in your site webdesign. I find it very offensive to see a satire like this embodied as corrupted comments.
I hope this does not cause an International Incident
this is an outrage, and I believe Square have shot themselves firmly in the foot. I don’t know whether you know anything about Japanese culture (I’m an expert) but let the Xbox have Final Fantasy1 3, for it has truly made it’s Final sale.
Omg… that was hillarious, but teh comments on the comic are almost as funny, and further more there really hasnt been a FF to be proud of since like Viii (maybe X but X-2 made it suck more) so who really wins…
