Shouldn't it be 'Morpheus'

I strongly feel that Brian is trying to throw us off with that Swordopolis reference. We just surpassed the middle point of the comic, revealing now, in this anti-climatic way the ending fight seems quite weird. Brian would have no reason to throw away such a big plot twist so early, the only reason I can think of is that he's trying to fool us in believing Magus' words, just to let us remain astonished when things turn out completely different.

shouldn't it also be the Hulk?

sorry for sounding harsh in that... but I had to say it. I think these guys are just gonna be some more of the 8-bit worlds off-heros, who aren't really that amazingly cool...

You're right! The humorously-Hellenized name should actually be the original (actually Greek) name Morpheus. And it should be Neo, then, too. And it shouldn't be The Magics, it should be The Matrix, since that, too, was the name of the original movie. And, of course, it should have been a movie, not a play. And since movies don't exist in medieval times, and because magic is not real, the comic should actually take place in modern times and have a cast of college students. And, for a bit more realism, they should have jokes about classwork, their horrible social lives, and video games. That would make the comic so much better.

I KNEW IT! I knew BM wasn't gonna change cloths but then he would bitch until Magus got pissed enough to give him the hideous cloths. I'm guessing Brian did this just so the joke would be on us AND BM, i'm sure BM will either get better cloths or switch back to normal cloths.

How high are the possibilities that the others will snigger and laugh at Black Mage's new costume?

Hm...thoery, thoery...nope, can't think of one. Swordopolis hasn't appeared for some time, has he?

Actually, the orange-yellow bits are supposed to be the same color as the tan of his pants stripes. But other than that, its the same as the FF3j BW.

(As for the change to yellow, that was Brian's decision. As evidenced when he did a group shot of the upgraded warriors way back in that temporal error comic. The only addition I can claim, is that I changed the color of the pants back to the original, as all that yellow didn't look right.)

....................OH! I GET IT!

My God, that took me a long time. I feel really, really dumb now.

I was aware The Magics was a Matrix thing the whole time...

But wait. Thief's a ninja who controls time, Red Mage is a mimic, and Fighter is a Knight who can quickly block almost any attack with a mere swift stroke of his sword. It seems Black Mage still has far to go, even if he did have a class change.

Wow after reading this comic i finally get what everyone is talking about with number 434. The conversation sounds like one BM and Fighter would have right after Fighter finally realizes the extent of BM's evil and realizes he has to kill him. Though i'm also able to see it a different way, i think it can also be seen as BM and Fighter on the same side, about to fight a great enemy. It's possible that they are facing Chaos and Thief and RM were killed earlier by him already.
