#and that genuine brazen love was like…what made the movie so heightened with the stakes so high

[earl-of-221b]

You’ve got to understand…..you’ve got to understand that in Nezha 1, the sons bow to their parents and masters….as is normal and traditional…

And ten minutes into Nezha 2…Ao Guang rushes half water half man, like a burst flooding dam, to catch Ao Bing in an embrace…saying if his son dies Chentang Guan is all going down with him!

And Shengong Bao sees his disciple alive and immediately perks up, “Ao Bing!” Immediately starts rattling off a plan to save him…

And Li Jing puts a warm hand on Nezha’s shoulder, plays jianzi the shuttlecock game with him…Nezha accepts the most painful heartfelt hug from his mother…

And Ao Bing flings himself onto his dad to hug him, purposefully…

The love and care, and how totally brazen it was shown in the hugs….totally arresting…
