ep48 (2/3): zhu zanjin oscar NOW

ohh nice shot

it's so weird to see wwx in the background. usually he's never out of focus

he's sooo sexy for this line with his eyebrows going up

really fucking excellent expressions here

wwx: I'm going to psychologically torture this guy with ghosts

lwj notices that su she has the curse mark! this is cool because otherwise he wouldn't have anything to do all episode

another phenomenal expression from zzj

I complain about jc having serious anger issues but when he's mad on your behalf I kind of get it. yes now he's very passionate and unyielding in your defense. it's kind of nice. jc being protective of wwx postcanon actually isn't unbelievable

aax almost in tears going 'why did you ruin my life dude!!!'

and jgy going 'well, SOMEONE had to'

and also that its his OWN fault? dude

AND THEN HE TOLD HIM HE WAS FATED TO DIE YOUNG?? it just hurts when you know wwx subconciously carried that same belief. a bright flame! burned hot then burned out!

the facial journey he went on...

even when supporting wwx, jc only expresses it in violence towards someone else...not a criticism it just makes ya think

jc why would you say that 😭 first of all. classist. disrespectful. second of all you KNOW this guy's a maniac just look at that face!

I lied about last episode. he really starts working jc here. and you know what. he's right. we can't know whether wwx's fate was truly inevitable, but jc's choices directly helped to push him there, and helped create the circumstances around jzx and jyl's deaths as well

oh I never noticed they were all lines up in order of the clans he's talking about. hehe

not wwx CRYING during this scene 🥺 he grieves it too!

seriously. the things that man does with his face is a marvel

I googled it and cql was nominated for three awards (best tv show, director, and producer). xz and wyb were both nominated as new actors, and xz won. nice!

The Untamed, ep48, scene 13:25-18:10: Hunter, prey

NHS & LXC: Da-ge!

LXC: You... What exactly are you planning to do?!

WWX: Zewu-Jun, you're wrongly blaming Clan Leader Jin. In my opinion, what's in there was not buried by him at all. Even if he buried something here, it must have been replaced by someone. Am I right, Clan Leader Jin?

SS: Wei Wuxian. Did you set him up?

WWX: I'm saying this with all my modesty, but if I were the one who set him up, I'm afraid he wouldn't have lost just one arm.

...

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, have you ever thought that you may be the predator tonight, but there's a hunter behind you? The one who was always spying on you is maybe watching your every move from somewhere, right now.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 18:10-21:22: Hundred holes

SS: Clan Leader, we've got everything settled.

JGY: Go treat your wound.

WWX: This Su She is always mean to others, but he's always deferential to Jin Guangyao.

LWJ (to SS): Turn back.

WWX: It was you!

JC: Hundred Holes!

WWX: It's unecpectedly easy to get what was supposedly hard to find.

NHS: Er-ge, what's going on here?

LXC: So this was part of your plan for the ambush on Qiongqi Road? You let us invite Young Master Wei just because you knew Jin Zixun would go to attack him for the Hundred Holes Curse? Right?

JGY: Zixun, do you have any personal grudge against Young Master Wei?

JGY: Er-ge, why do you ask like that?

JC: Obviously! If the evil spell hadn't been cast on Jin Zixun, none of the mess afterwards would have happened! One ambush helped you get rid of Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun, two of your peers. It paved the way for your succession of the Jin Clan and becoming His Excellency. Su She cast the spell, it's pretty easy to know who was behind him.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 40:12-42:28: Another chance

LXC: Before this, I wasn't totally unaware of what you've done, but I always believed that you did everything out of an unspeakable reason. But now, you've done it too excessively. I don't know if I should believe you anymore.

JGY: Er-ge, I was wrong.

WWX: Hey... Clan Leader Jin, can't we stop talking? Just fight? Can we just start killing each other?

JGY: Er-ge, we've been acquainted for many years. In spite of what l've done, you should understand how I was treating you. Now I renounce the position of the leader of all cultivation clans. And the Amulet was given in. I'll set off to Dongying after this night without ever coming back. For the sake of all above, please give me another chance.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 2:55-10:45: Hate

JC: Never what?! Wei Wuxian, how selfless, how great you are. You've always been going good deeds and being wronged, but only keep it to yourself. How touching. Should I get down on my knees and thank you with tears rolling down?

JL: Uncle, stop it.

WWX: I never wanted you to thank me.

JC: That's right. Doing good deeds and never asking for repayment. Just for your noble personality. Surely different from me. No wonder when Father was alive, he kept saying that you were the one who really understood the Jiang Clan's motto and demeanor.

WWX: Enough.

JC: Enough what?! It's enough when you say it's enough? You know best. You're better than me at everything. Talent. Cultivation. Intelligence. Temperament. You all know. I am not that noble. Then what am I?!

JL: Uncle, your injuries!

LWJ: Clan Leader Jiang, be careful not to go too far.

LXC: Clan Leader Jiang, you have to calm down. I am afraid the more you talk, the worse your wound will get.

JC: Why, Wei Wuxian? Tell me why!

WWX: Why what?

JC: The Jiang Clan gave you so much. I was his own son. I was the successor of the Jiang Clan! But for all those years, you always got more than me in everything! Care growing up, and even their lives. My dad's. My mom's. My sister's. And even Jin Zixuan's. Because of you, Jin Ling grew up without parents. Wei Wuxian, who broke the oath first and betrayed the Jiang Clan? You said I would be the Clan leader in the future, and you would be my right-hand man. You'd assist me for your lifetime. So what if there are the Twin Jades of Gusu? We were the Twin Prides of Yunmeng. And you'd never betray the Jiang Clan. Who said that? Tell me who said that? You swallowed all your words, and what did you do instead? You went to protect some outsiders, and from the Wen clan! How much did you owe them that you defected with no hesitation? What did you take the Jiang Clan for? You've done every good thing, and it was forced every time you did something bad, right? What hardship on earth were you burdened with that you could never tell? You didn't tell me anything. Treated me as a little fool.

JL: Uncle.

JC: Wei Wuxian. How much do you owe the Jiang Clan? Shouldn't I hate you? Can't I hate you?! Why? Why do I seem supposed to feel sorry for you now? Why should I keep feeling all these years that I am like a clown? What am I then? I deserve to stay in the shadow of your glory? Shouldn't I hate you?

JL: Hanguang-Jun. My uncle is wounded.

JC: Let him come! Am I afraid of the Second Lan?

JC: Why? Why? Wei Wuxian, why didn't you tell me?

WWX: Because I didn't want to see you being like this.

JC: You said I would be the Clan leader in the future, and you would be my right-hand man. You'd assist me for your lifetime. You'd never betray the Jiang Clan. You said it yourself.

WWX: I'm sorry. I broke my promise.

JC: We've reached this point. I don't need your "sorry" now. I'm not that delicate.

JC: Sorry.

WWX: Don't apologise to me. My "sorry" is what I pay back to the Jiang Clan. As for this matter, please don't keep it in your heart. Forget it. Though I know according to your character you'll always remember it. But I have to say, I really think that all is past. All those things are like from my previous life now. Let them go, please. We both should stop lingering on them.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 28:55-30:34: Manipulation

WWX: Just a "son of a whore" made you talk so much. It seems the "son of a whore" is Clan Leader Jin's forbidden expression. No wonder you killed Chifeng-zun.

JGY: Assemble and we leave.

SS: Understood.

WWX: Clan Leader Jin! How did you kill Chifeng-zun? Why don't you satisfy our curiosity? Xue Yang and you spent quite some effort turning Chifeng-zun into manipulable puppet.

WWX: Aren't you afraid?

JGY: Afraid of what?

WWX: Afraid of him coming back for you.

Bonus:

Ah, Jin Guangyao, Jin Guangyao. He's Wei Wuxian. He's the Yiling Laozu, ffs! And it did not occur to you to gag him?

JGY: Yiling Laozu, you're worthy of your title, aren't you? Despite of the restoration of half of the Amulet by Xue Yang and loss of Chenqing, you still could manipulate them. ... Zewu-Jun, you've recovered your spiritual power.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 34:59-37:26: The Tiger Amulet

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, hand it over. It's of not much use in your hands.

WWX: Clan Leader Jin, may lask you a question? What did you use to forge this Yin Tiger Amulet? Only by using that half from Xue Yang, it shouldn't have been possible.

JGY: I just picked it up somewhere.

WWX: That's so lucky of you, Clan Leader Jin. One casual stroll, could get you Yin Iron desired by all cultivation clans.

JGY: Since you have got it, why ask me?

LXC: So from the very beginning, from that time, you've been coveting the Yin Tiger Amulet?

WWX: I'm afraid even earlier. The first time you co-operated with Xue Yang should have been at Unclean Realm.

MY: Young Master Wei, why are you here?

WWX: I wanted to fetch a pot of liquor. But I got the way wrong. Young Master Meng, why don't you go to the feast?

MY: I have to keep an eye on Xue Yang.

WWX: The Unclean Realm is like a steel bucket. I suppose Xue Yang could never get away. Thanks for your efforts then.

JGY: Kind of.

The Untamed, ep48, scene 21:22-24:00: Inferior

WWX: I didn't do anything against you back then. We were not even that familiar. You wanted to kill Jin Zixuan. Why did you push that on me?!

JGY: Young Master Wei, you should know it best. Do you think you can be safe just because you hold no grudges?How could that be? In this world, everyone began with no grudges. But someone would eventually come forward with the first stab.

JC: Sinister lowlife!

SS: Lowlife? What right do you have to call him lowlife? All of you praise yourself as decent clans and noble gentry. You're just counting on your lucky birth and powerful family. How could you look down upon us? Aren't we, peripheral disciples, also human? If I could have protected myself, would I have been threatened by others? Would I have been swept out of Lan Clan like a pile of leaves?

LWJ: Yes. Betrayers won't be tolerated by Lan Clan.

SS: Hanguang-jun. I am so sick of your condescending attitude. Just for that little mistake, you could never forgive me! As if I'm inferior to others since my birth. Except Clan Leader Jin, who else of you ever showed me respect? Tell you what, the supercilious guys like Jin Zixun, i'd show no mercy to any of them. I'd kill every last one of them!

SS: What are you laughing at?

WWX: Nothing. I just didn't expect...

SS: What do you want to say?

WWX: I just didn't expect you got so many killed just for... Just for this?

The Untamed, ep48, scene 37:26-40:12: The Yin Iron

JC: You admit it quite readily now.

JGY: Under these circumstances, what's the difference if l deny this one?

LXC: You co-operated with Xue Yang just for forging the Yin Tiger Amulet?

JGY: Xue Yang hid one shard of Yin lron. He wanted to save Xiao Xingchen. So he joined hands with me, and tried to forge the Amulet. But even by the two of us, we could only forge the Amulet of half power.

JGY: Young Master Wei, I have one thing that's been troubling me for a long time, that I've always wanted to ask you.

WWX: What is it?

JGY: At that time, I also assumed you were the one who took the Yin Iron from Xue Yang and made it into the Amulet. But in fact, that was not true.

WWX: You're trying to ask me how I got the Yin lron, right?

JGY: Exactly.

WWX: I knew about it from Xue Yang. Everyone believes that there's only four shards of Yin lron. Not true.

JGY: I see now. All the energy of the four directions belongs to Xuanwu. This is what that means.

LXC: You've done so many evil things, striven so hard just for the Yin Tiger Amulet.

JGY: That's part of the reason. Why don't you ask me to explain?
