comment
RPG Metanoia is a computer-animated film released in 2010, the first to come out from the Philippines.Nico is an avid player of the incredibly popular MMORPG Metanoia, where he plays as the wandering vagabond Zero. Unfortunately, that's the only thing he does well, but he doesn't let that stop him from enjoying the game with his friends; that is, until he's forced to realize just how much he's missing out on life in the real world. Worse yet, a malignant virus begins to spread around Metanoia, and Nico may be the only one capable of stopping it...Roughly four to five years in the making, the film was surprisingly good, and showed at the 2010 Manila film festival. Any Pinoy fan of animation should definitely give it a watch.Not to be confused with the webcomic, Metanoia.

Captain Geographic: Downplayed. The avatar of Dee (Nico's father) wears a blue armor and helmet that has the eight-ray sun of the Philippine flag and other yellow accents but the red is nowhere to be seen. The creators may have done the research about this as it's disrespectful to depict it in whole as part of a clothing, except for authorized representation of the country like in international sports events.

You Can't Thwart Stage One: To the extent that not even the developers of the game can stop the virus by shutting down the servers since it anchored itself to the internet. They couldn't just turn off the computers either because the affected players go berserk.

Lotus-Eater Machine: Metanoia itself. It was originally a subliminal reality program designed to help astronauts cope up with the loneliness of space travel but it didn't go well. It was then repurposed into a game engine to not let the budget go to waste, even if their test subjects were lobotomized.

From Bad to Worse: Nico's group losing the tournament and Nico himself losing the Helm of Destiny were disappointing enough that they decided not to play the game for days, but in their absence, Sargo wore the Helm and began infecting other avatars, then it turns out the players of these avatars also go berserk if even their monitor gets turned off. It got to the point where the cable news covered the incident and revealed that it has already affected thousands of players around the globe.

The Big Bad brought one with a Mayincatec design in the Final Battle. Rather underused as the only significant thing it did was to blow a hole in the roof of the church.

MacGuffin: The Helm of Destiny is initially a rare item sought by Zero and Sargo, but it's actually an Artifact of Doom. The orb piece in the tournament must be slotted into the mechanism to win the final round. Player Versus Player ensues when the gamers saw it landing on Sargo's hand.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: During the tournament, Nico's friends struggle at pulling Sumpak who's stuck in the entrance gate. Sargo creates an explosion that forces Sumpak in. It's justified as Sargo is in a rush and also needs to proceed inside.

Starcrossed Lovers: Implied with the two Korean avatars meeting at the Unification Bridge. They acknowledge that it's a huge risk for them to meet there and the man calling those controlled by the Helm of Destiny as "no border patrol" alludes to the situation of the North and South.

Internal Reveal: May instructed the other boys of Nico's group to just let him win their physical games, so as to motivate him in playing more often. Nico learns this the hard way when Mark accidentally lets it slip. It takes a while for Nico to figure out that Sargo was the avatar who wore the Helm of Destiny and corrupted the game, and Cel (the owner of Bomb Shelter) is the person behind Sargo.

Fauxshadow: Since the start of the film, Nico wishes to upgrade his computer or specifically have a new graphics card to alleviate the issues with his game freezing. His mom eventually bought him one, but he forgot to install it as he was pre-occupied with solving the problem brought by the Helm of Destiny. Ironically in the end, he's even glad he hasn't installed it yet, as his PC freezing at the right time prevents the malevolent A.I. from taking over his mom.
