Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Difference between revisions

Line 475:

* There's [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/articles/the-stone-tower-why-termina-was-doomed/ a theory] with popularity that says the Stone Tower temple of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'' is an allegory of the Tower of Babel. It also turns the mask into a punishment from the gods and Link into a messianic figure sent to "redeem" Termina from their "sins".

** Just ''Majora's Mask''? Heck, every part of the series has had it's fair share of this! From Link literally being ''Jesus'', to the Master Sword, the Moon Pearl and the Shadow Mirror symbolizing the imperial treasures of Japan (therefor making Hyrule, despite all evidence to the contrary, Japan), to absurd reasons why Link can't talk and overinterpratetion of Zelda's many Alter Egos as her having a [[Split Personality Disorder]]. It has all been there.

* ''[[Final Fantasy]] Wiki'' theorises that the final battle of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' is a direct allegory to ''[[Divine Comedy]]''. The first part of the battle has you fighting a huge demon half submerged in ground, like how Satan is depicted in ''Inferno'', thus making that part a symbolism for Hell. The second fight is against a multitude of suffering mortals, meaning the purgatory. The third fight has you face a [[~~Pieta~~ Plagiarism|pieta figure]] with Kefka in place of Jesus, representing Heaven. In the final, fourth part, you ascend above the clouds and Kefka himself comes to you, dressed in a toga, telling that he will destroy everything. Divine Comedy ends with Dante ascending to meet God, who tells him the meaning of life.

* Just what the hell is ''[[Pokémon]]''? Neo-Nazism, Satanism (enslaving creatures), atheism (you can capture GOD), and so on. The most common one is that it's glamorized dog/cock fighting. [[Word of God]] is completely ignored of course.

** There has been at least one article relating it to simply coming of age. The main character leaves the safety of home with just a bare amount of power or knowledge (symbolized by the starting pokemon) to get by in the world, and as the character explores it grows in both (capturing more pokemon and learning new abilities) until it can take control of its own destiny and become an actualized adult (winning the game).
