China has been generous.

 

[WaterAstro]

I'd just like to say that we should be past the time where we are making un-ecological monuments. We're already wasting a ton of resources on normal living that we really don't need these things anymore.

Wish they had better use of their time, but, you know, China don't care.

 

[hateradio]

That thing is going to look so dated in 10 years when the thick MOBA poly look goes out of fashion.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Guan Yu is over rated. Dude's moveset is bad for mobs and he's too slow without his precious Red Hare, pffft. Give me a statue of Cow Cow instead

How many other statues are there on Urf? Looking at Google....

There are a shitload of statues! Imagine them all coming alive like in the Simpsons. Lol.

Being 'Murican, we got everybody beat though. There's nothing better than the good 'ole Statue of Libertay!

Spoiler

not serious

There are alot of Gods and Deities in statue form so..... the Statue Battle of The Future will be over pretty quick :/

idea stolen, screenplay incoming

ehhhh actually that dr who episode probably already has that covered

 

[leroidys]

It looks like the biggest war hammer figure ever.

 

[Zaptruder]

Yo Japan you going to take that? Time for a skyscraper sized statue of Honda Tadakatsu standing over Tokyo or something like a new version of the Colossus of Rhodes.

They need a gundam version of this!

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

 

[Daft Punk]

Ok, is Guan Yu going left or right lane as support?

 

[hamchan]

Well this is great. Guan Yu is fucking awesome.

 

[Ratrat]

It looks too videogamey for my taste. The 3rd image looks straight out of an rts.

 

[Violet_0]

Lu Bu isn't worshiped.

now, I admittedly know little about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Ancient Chinese history and mythology, but if video games have taught me anything, it's that Lu Bu is The Man and deserves to have giant statues erected in his name

 

[Plywood]

Truly a hero of the Three Kingdoms! I mained him in the Dynasty Warriors I played.

 

[Ken]

Do not pursue Lu Bu [statues]

 

[Acidote]

I wonder if all those statues you're posting are made to last without maintenance.

 

[andythinkpad]

Man, Guan Yu wasn't even all that, though. Zhang Fei the real beast.

Guan Yu didn't sleep with his brothes Liu Bei's wife when he had the chance. He got extra points.

Lu Bu's home town should build an oneup ststue. He was from Innner Mongolia.

Why? Its good for the economy.

 

[Marvel]

That's amazing.

 

[The Incarnation]

Looks cheaper than a mediocre Premier League footballer.

 

[TheBowen]

Looks like Liu Beis BENEVOLENCE overpowered Cow Cow AMBITION for who gets the first statue

Shame they picked a cool character that belonged to a kingdom of jobbers

 

[Sickboy007]

Many of these new giant statues that keep popping up are built using North Korean forced labor. I wonder if that's the case here.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I'm proud to say I know about Guan Yu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms video game and not from the Dynasty Warriors video game.

 

[erlim]

In my favorite anime.

What anime is this?

And yes, I know who Guan Yu is. He's the character Donnie Yen played in 'The Lost Blade'

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Looks like a videogame character.

Now I want a giant Mercy statue.

Smite, definitely.

 

[fabricated backlash]

I must say, that looks mighty cool.

 

[Camwi]

Now they just need a Lu Bu statue to oppose him.

Damn right.

 

[StylusX]

Remind me that statue in Russia






https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motherland_Calls

It's odd, that statue has always freaked me out, just something about it i find terrifying.

 

[Corpsepyre]

How long till we see a giant Kratos statue in Greece?

Wait, that'd be weird.

 

[HStallion]

Guan Yu didn't sleep with his brothes Liu Bei's wife when he had the chance. He got extra points.

Lu Bu's home town should build an oneup ststue. He was from Innner Mongolia.

And the Lu Bu statue should murder anyone that gets too close to it.

 

[DrFunk]

twist: the eyes shoot lasers

 

[TatteredHat]

Looks amazing, nothing else to say. Sounds like it's completely layered with Bronze, I wonder if they plan on letting it completely oxidize and turn green.

 

[FaceTurn]

Looks cheaper than a mediocre Premier League footballer.

Good LAWD

 

[andythinkpad]

Namco made the best NES Three Kingdoms game breh!

 

[The Elite]

Looks like a Final Fantasy summon.

 

[manfestival]

who is this guan yu guy and why in the world would I play anyone other than dian wei in dynasty warriors?

 

[Erevador]

We can't let them get away with showing us up like this!

 

[spiderman123]

Well you know what they said about made in China.

 

[madp]

What anime is this?

And yes, I know who Guan Yu is. He's the character Donnie Yen played in 'The Lost Blade'

Looks like Souten Kouro. Probably one of the more entertaining Three Kingdoms adaptations.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Yeah but where my Diao Chan statue at?

Get on it, China.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

'"I doubt Guan Yu would approve of the fact that the government splashed out so much cash on constructing this sculpture. He advocated "justice" for the entire society," another argued.'

I love that China's version of the founding fathers argument revolves around the Dynasty Warriors.

 

[thetrin]

Yo Japan you going to take that? Time for a skyscraper sized statue of Honda Tadakatsu standing over Tokyo or something like a new version of the Colossus of Rhodes.

Oh, this SO needs to happen.

You have a Japanese id, surely you know the Three Kingdom stories are more popular in Asian than Homer Epic Poems in the West.

The correct question to ask is who don't we have an Odyssey Warriors video game.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Greatest statue of all time???? Yes.

 

[vern]

Well you know what they said about made in China.

What did they say about it?

 

[Complistic]

but is it a pokestop?

 

[madp]

We've actually come as close as we'll probably ever get already, and from Koei no less.

 

[oneofthose]

Guan Yu was a real person.

And he was a real horrible person. Hate how the romance of the 3 kingdoms makes shu out to be some heroic just kingdom whereas historically were the worst people.

 

[Ragnorok64]

china has a thing for giant statues

this one is 500 ft tall counting the base

I don't know why but this thing is kinda frightening to me. Maybe the thought of it tipping forward.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Very cool. I love Romance of the the 3 kingdoms. Dian Wei is still the best. He doesnt get enough recognition.

 

[supernormal]

Holy shit. I don't know what I expected but I definitely didn't imagine something that big upon reading the title.
