I watched a few movie reviews on Nezha 2 and one of them on two white guys (iirc) doing a podcast on their surface thoughts on the movie kinda threw me off as one of them said 'one thing that was off-putting to me was a lot of onscreen crying' or something like that. Which is super off-putting to me actually.

I mean what do you mean? Your little brother or mother or wife just died in front of your eyes what do you mean you should not cry and it's not a natural response? Ao Bing cried into his dad at the start as he felt so awful for letting his dad down and his buddy nearly died if he didn't intervene. Ne Zha cried so hard when he saw his parents again because he really thought they were gone. Both kids are three years old for the love of God. And Shen Gong Bao is a literal family man he has a soft spot for his little brother of course when he died trying to escape he had to cry so much and to be honest, I've watched videos of how the animation team spent a long time animating and planning the crying scene for him to ensure it's perfect. The creative team has spent so long to ensure every detail to actually ensure the whole story and every shot and scene will have a lasting emotional impact to touch the audience.

And another thing that's also respectable is how the team and the story in general is very committed to fleshing out the characters and ensuring they are all very relevant to the plot and have their own personal stories in a sequel, which is not often seen nowadays given how hard it is to make a better sequel (but that's another story and post I digress, but anyway-)

What I'm trying to say is that we all need more stories of boys openly crying. The only other movies off the top of my head I can think that has boys openly crying are maybe Coco, or Luca and maybe HTTYD, and I feel Nezha 2 has done a great job in showing the different sides of healthy masculinity, in how it's okay for boys to ugly cry and for dads to be tough on the exterior while also being very caring and gentle to their own sons, and for close brotherhood bonds being a soft side of characters. And it also dispels a stereotype in how Asians are often stoic and not as emotional as westerners, as while a lot of Chinese and Asians are quite stoic, there are plenty of people who see themselves in Ao Bing and Ne Zha and etc.

And I also saw a post earlier on how Ne Zha and Ao Bing defy societal rules and societal expectations respectively, with Ao Bing doing so by being outwardly feminine in looks and being elegant while precise and aggressive in his attacks and still being able to be confident in his self, while Ne Zha has been insecure in his own looks until the end. And personally I feel the movie is a great place for kids and boys especially to learn that masculinity can be anything they can define, like how one can be more confident like Ao Bing even when he's not traditionally masculine, while knowing it's okay to be insecure and that they can overcome judgements in society.

And with their friendship and loyalty to each other (and possibly *cough* *gay* *it's ok if you don't ship them*), it also teaches boys that male friendships can be very close knit where they can be vulnerable to one another, like how Nezha soon learnt to be vulnerable around Ao Bing and how Ao Bing learnt to follow his heart through Ne Zha's influence. Boys can learn from one another and become emotionally stronger together like it's not just a girls thing yay-

So yeah this is another long ramble but tldr again:

Nezha 2 is a fantastic movie on healthy masculinity and we need more movies like this for boys especially to learn that expressing strong emotions are very healthy and essential in being a person. And we need to punch toxic masculinity to death the way Lu Tong and He Tong did at the end to the bald bitch so-

If I could write a scene in Ne Zha 3, I'd reference this:

For context, this is a retelling of Ne Zha's story, where instead of killing Ao Bing, he chooses to spare him because he's a cute little dragon. Ne Zha brings Ao Bing home as a friend, and places him in a goldfish pond to recover from the injuries he'd sustained during their fight.

The way I'd reference this story would go like this:

The duo fight an enemy who's capable of manipulating the Qiankun hoop. They make it so the hoop forces Ne Zha to return to his child form and also shuts off all his power. This is an underwater battle; Ne Zha was using his fire powers to generate oxygen. Now he's drowning.

Ao Bing quickly transforms into his dragon form and swallows Ne Zha to protect him. As Ao Bing hastily swims upwards, the enemy sends a barrage of attacks, and Ao Bing is unable to dodge the hardest hit.

Upon reaching the shore, Ao Bing coughs up Ne Zha, who can finally say the necessary incantation to undo the hoop and go back to his teenage form. Ao Bing also returns to his human form, badly injured.

The enemy bursts out of the surface. Ne Zha has all six of his arms ready—one pair to wield his spear, another to manipulate his silk, and the last to carry Ao Bing. He jumps onto his fire wheels with intention to get Ao Bing to safety while fending off the enemy. Of course, this form of multitasking is easier said than done, and the enemy manages to close the distance. That's when it's revealed Ao Bing is still conscious, and he touches the enemy, encasing them in ice so they fall straight to the ground.

At last, the duo reach a pond filled with goldfish. Ne Zha lowers Ao Bing into it, as dragons heal faster when submerged in water (source: I made it up).

Alternate direction:

Ne Zha isn't able to get the hoop off and is stuck as a child who's too weak to carry either a large dragon or a human teen, so he pleads for Ao Bing to take on a smaller form. Fortunately, Ao Bing is able to make himself into the size of a snake. Ne Zha quickly gathers him in his arms and runs to safety.

Height problems XD

I love how Nezha's Ao Bing alternates between taller and shorter, but I imagine that when they both grow up, Ao Bing will definitely be the taller one.
