It’s quite straightforward on a second read. Jump forward, forward, forward, back, back, back.

Dragon Quest V has you start as a child in a party with your dad, then eventually you grow up, get married, and have kids who eventually also join your party. It’s a neat bit of storytelling

Besides grandchildren Lost Odyssey also has mother and son. ...which might be a bit confusing if you don't know some of the main characters are immortal.

The only real takeaway is if you are in a large group of friends it's okay to be a dick to strangers on the street because you will never receive any kind of comeuppance for your behavior and your life will turn out fine for you and your children and your children's children meanwhile a bunch of poo poo happens that doesn't have anything to do with anything really but it's okay as long as it wraps around in the end in some meaningless way.

It's one of those things that attempts to make a non-point in an incredibly oh-so-deep way. I mean whats the point it's trying to make? Sometimes people who are mean are not always mean? Or they have reasons for their behavior? Wow what insight.

It's saying that people have levels, that they have deeper and sometimes conflicting motivations for their actions, and a life cannot be reduced to a single characteristic or stereotype. Considering how our toxically divisive society insists on pigeon holing us all into tiny angry boxes, and how hate and fear of the "other" is rapidly destroying democratic institutions across the world, I think a comic that reminds us we're all human is heart warming. But you go ahead with your snark, you clever fellow you. You've outsmarted a comic. You must be very proud to have contributed something so meanful.

Is any of that profound? Is any of that really an insight to any except the most dense bricks of people? But no you go ahead and enjoy your pretentious art comic. E: to be clear I LOVE art/media with a message. It's like my favorite thing. But you gotta put some effort into it, you can't just make a surface level comment, surround it in some pretentious presentation and then call it good. This is every bit as bad as every other 'I am 14 and this is deep' piece of dreck. Agent355 has a new favorite as of 18:40 on May 16, 2018 |

I would unironically play this game. Maybe not the chores part, but just a bog-standard RPG plot with parents who love you but don't take your quest all that seriously.

A trend I've noticed recently that I absolutely hate is when people criticize the morality of characters and whether the work rewards or punishes that morality. It has the implicit idea that art is only valuable as a tool of moral instruction.

How else did she survive the destruction of their village? I like the dad's slightly more reserved and mature spiky protagonist hair. Must run in the family.

It has the implicit idea that art is only valuable as a tool of moral instruction. That type of criticism seems like a weird result of insisting that absolutely everything in a story must have meaning. Since someone wrote that it rained that day the rain must be to add a touch of melancholy. Whether a bad dead is punished or not must make a point about the state of society. If it isn't obvious then it must be deep. That kind of analysis makes fiction seem so distant from reality where chance and circumstance are so important, and justice is imperfect and the result of tireless effort.

I really like the ageing comic and don't think it has a message of any kind. It's an emotional meditation on how people change over time. Every character shown who is portrayed in two different time periods is essentially the exact opposite of how portrayed in the other time period. The street punk becomes a loving family man, the cute little girl becomes an emotionally abusive mother, the gay man in a relationship with a Desi was raised by an avowed racist who himself used to play with a south Asian girl until his father forced them apart. Its not a message about how this person's good and this person's bad and acting like this will be punished but this wont etc etc. If you were to force it to have a message it would be that labels such as good and bad are useless in the first place. But I think the piece honestly works better as a brief examination of personal change that I personally found emotionally affecting. Its not profound or an original, no. But saying that every piece of art must be profound is an unrealistic standard. Its perfectly possible to examine themes which have been examined before and still be good.

I can respect that, but I think the presentation of the comic is meat to evoke some sort of deeper meaning. It's hard to say why exactly it gives me the impression that it's trying to mean something, but when I get those vibes and no actual message to go along with it I recoil pretty hard. Your take is cool and valid though.

It needs constant dad jokes and the parents making smoochy noises and breaking out baby pictures every time the protagonist tries to have a romance subplot. They heal the protagonist by wiping his face with spit. The parents get all the usual inappropriate RPG armor outfits (male and female).

I really feel the opposite. There's enough injustice and pointless suffering in reality that I cannot understand why anyone would create or seek out fiction with more of it.

Under the old Hays Code regime all criminals had to be portrayed in such a way that nobody would feel any sympathy for them and they always had to get some kind of punishment.
