first one was great, love chinese fantasy, cultivator powers have as much potential to be unqiue as western magic, anime, and superheros but with their own twist (Didnt click til after getting into manhwa how many anime were inspired by wuxia/xianxia)

It is refreshing to have an alternative to US media.
Indeed, most of the US media is incredibly formulaic nowadays.
I blame disney for buying every single IP and shelving everything but marvel / starwars
And disney itself is a product of capital concentration under capitalism.
Just like the original, I refuse to watch the sequel because their 3D model for Ne Zha makes them, to me at least, look like an ugly gremlin creature that crawled out of a cave and has just started joining civilization. Movies like Legend of Hei definitely have the better looking depiction of Ne Zha in my opinion.
Disney sucking up to china.. how is that working out..lol
