Kerblomboさんのイラストまとめ

Building anticipation for adapting the gag.

@A10GADGET この国は配達人の扱いが酷いですけどね。
どの国も止ん事無い人が国民を愛してるって思わせるから、自分には使い捨てられてく可愛そうな人しか見えない。

ネガティブに聞こえそうだからポジティブにファンアート

@A10GADGET もしかして好きな子を雲の上まで運ぶシーンも…

@neokefka_99 I mean, sure, Superman would invade a thinly veiled Iraq and disintegrate a bunch of terrorists from there to save the president.

But those can't be political if they're before 9/11.

@Richmond_Lee Nah, cheering a hot villain cosplay isn't insisting the villain is right. They just horny.

Fans have been horny for manipulative bad boys and bad girls and even monsters for centuries. It's only if they back them in real life (not role play) that's the problem.

@ChariotDaGawd

@MatteoWatz It gets weirder when you think about how popular the stuff it influenced got. Like they managed to create one of the world's most distinct, bland macguffin gems.

@HokutoAndy A year before Secret of Mana, Dragon Quest V also introduced to its series the Leather Kilt as sported by one of its main characters, Pankraz. That might have helped it become a trending piece of fantasy gear

@Richmond_Lee Since I didn't know about Big Loo, I figured he and Prince were a parody of a certain console's ad campaign.

With Jim Carrey's The Mask quotes thrown in to cover their tracks and get that Dreamcast port.

Obviously portal spams have been around a while. And I don't know when things like that one Warhammer 40K illustration were drawn.

But if that specific visual has no predecessor, its influence sure went places.
