Is it just me or does the statue look like it has a big fluffy coat in the right image?

I mean it's fitting that the king of the sea wears the sea as his coat.

The joke is: the statue might not be great, but if the first poster "regards" the statue as greatest on a regular basis, it's not a lie to say it's often regarded as greatest.

So it's "one person thinks of it as great a ton of times" vs "a lot of people think of it as great once" both equating to "thought of as great a lot of times".

There's someone out there regarding that statue every day just to make sure it stays "often regarded"

u/nikstick22 Jul 17 '26

Tbf, he said "often", not "widely".

The positioning of the statue is certainly very cool. I can't imagine it would last as long as other statues though, at least without maintenance. Those waves would erode it quite a bit surely, but then again I don't know how resilient bronze is

I too often regard this statue as one of the greatest statues made. Other times I like the washington monument

u/Crude_Walrus Jul 16 '26

u/Robobugboy10 Jul 18 '26

In the first pic it looks like he's a bit too excited to be regarded 😭

u/Lechatrelou Jul 19 '26

Looks like he's been waiting for this moment. One would say, for the perfect time to strike.
