Nina Wu

OMG what a nice surprise

Leaf

No for real, sometimes Netflix summaries are like 'MC finally finds her long lost sister' and then you watch the episode and that bit only happens 5 min before the end of it

Leaf

The way everyone treats Wei Wuxian like he's the devil but no one recognizes him when he's right in front of them

Leaf

With Zixuan dead, Guangyao is heir to the Jin Clan and everyone hates Wei Wuxian as the murderer....very convenient

Nina Wu

this time I won’t comment on the episode because I’m afraid anything I say might be a spoiler 😭 Really great reaction, I’m excited for the next episode!

Nina Wu

and my favorite format is reaction + a final analysis. I don’t mind if it’s just one episode at a time if that’s less tiring for you

Leaf

It's such a tragedy because neither Zixuan nor Wei Wuxian wanted to hurt each other and yet

nancy metz

For future reference, could you, please, turn up the volume just a tad? Thank you!

Leaf

Episode 33 is the end of the flashbacks! So if you do 32 and 33 together you'll have caught up to current timeline

nancy metz

Wen Ning's eyes were weird, not the usual total black. Not to push you, but I hope you do the next episode soon! I'm loving your analysis!

Jess

No matter how many times I watch this the way zixuan dies always shocks me

I think the celebrations are because, maybe, of child mortality issues? Surviving the first few months is a celebration.

Katie-Didn’t

1 month celebration is when they “choose” their life path in this story. It’s supposed to be done before they understand what they’re doing or the meaning because it’s supposed to be complete ignorance according to true nature. The ceremony where they set down several objects to see which they’ll grab like an instrument for the musical path, a small weapon or carving of one for the martial path, and plant or something to symbolize the path of peace, diplomacy, or even agriculture achievements, etc. it’s not really different from the Japanese ceremony.

Katie-Didn’t

My favorite format so far is when you do a double episode, pause to react mostly, and take a few notes here and there (you did this a while back in the earlier 20s I think, maybe tried it once for the teens), just to make notes for questions in case they’d be answered before you finished watching and about anything you notice that you wanted to go into more deeply at the end. You ended up marking off most of the questions and had the ones that weren’t spoilers answered in comments. And the analysis can be done either at the end of each episode for easy uploading to YouTube individually, especially since if something you said also continues into the next episode it you’ll be less likely to forget what you were discussing once you’ve gone into it, and you can easily refer back to “this goes back to what I was saying about the last episode…” and add onto it. This format can give people the double episodes everyone likes so much, fewer notes, takes less overall time with pausing to react for anything that isn’t a question or too deep, and can still be easily cut into individual episodes for uploading fairly easily IF you decide to analyze individually rather than trying to do 2 at once. I will say that like most series, some are HIGHLY appropriate for analyzing 2 at once because some as a standalone episodes seem like nothing much is going on beyond the surface of the smaller storyline to talk about any larger story after we finish the flashbacks. With those, individually, there’s not much to say other than one, MAYBE two noticeable things you’d have to squeeze out of it unless you put it together with the previous or next ep and combine what’s happening (I’m avoiding the words “filler episode because there aren’t any episodes that can be left out with the show still making sense, but quite a few seem like they are until combined with the before or after). Either way, that’s my practical vote for making the most people happy the easiest and most efficient way. My feelings vote to do what makes you happy with your channel because people already subscribe, comment sincerely (criticism or small specific requests for improvement like the volume being a bit higher (I’ve been wanting to ask since you settled on a platform too but didn’t want to be the only one since I have hearing loss and in certain pitches it’s a lot worse so even wearing VERY good adaptive noise canceling headphones, you come through a bit loud at a higher register than the deeper and higher voices in the show so I couldn’t be sure if it was just me) without complaint is DEFINITELY sincere), the people who are fans are fans because of YOUR way of thinking and reacting and personality. Your analytical abilities are loved when they’re tossed out casually AND doing deep dives at the end, not one or the other (look at your YouTube comments lol 🙌). Your thought processes are either so right it’s jaw dropping or so wrong it’s hilarious and the people who already know get the kind of really good, surprisingly heartfelt laugh you didn’t know you needed till it happens (not AT you, at the idea of what you suggested or trying to picture it; like when I kept hearing “dark lord” or “find out how he’s going to turn evil/demonic”. It was like trying to picture Voldemort selling turnips with Wen Ning, playing with A’Yuan planting him in the dirt, being ordered to do laundry, threatened with doctor examinations and treatment, “the evil Yiling patriarch” (NOT something he came up with and only used jokingly because THAT guy was capable of ANYTHING) had chilling stories about the Demon-quelling cave and Blood Pool floating around like how the cave was where he kept his puppets and people he’d lured with his charm and looks to be sacrificed to the Blood Pool: the site of thousands of beautiful female virgin sacrifices making the water thick with their blood after sacrificing them to power his evil spells (who they were and what spells? No one can name anyone and who knows, but it’s sure to spell disaster for everyone, and it happened!) It was NOT where he kept inventing, mostly unsuccessfully, things that would make it easier and safer for people to conduct night hunts like the compass he mentioned while hunting “water ghosts” that would point to heavily concentrated Stygian energy, the various talismans, spell enchantments, formations, that can’t be interfered with or broken by any spirits that aren’t particularly fierce, which protects everyone in general, and juniors out hunting something that CAN break through tells them they need help from a senior, the spirit trapping pouch was his idea to hold their consciousness and deal with it later, and a couple new types of songs that make them feel more understood or less combative with frequent explosions, fires, wailing, and general mad scientist behavior out of sheer boredom and NEED to do something useful. Picturing Voldemort or Sauron or something doing that stuff IS worthy of full on laughter till your sides hurt and you’re crying). SO, what it comes down to is if YOU aren’t happy with how the reactions are going it WILL show to the people who already watch because of how your mind works. Unhappy people don’t think the same way as when they’re even just content rather than happy. If you don’t like a format it doesn’t matter if your fans do because after a few reactions that way there’s going to be a drop off in comments and “likes” and enthusiasm because you’ll be more and more discontent. So I gave you my practical vote and my heartfelt advice is you have to either do what YOU prefer the most or compromise between what you like the most and your fans prefer because YOU can’t make your fans happy if you’re unhappy. Not with what everyone loves about you as a reactor.

I think the next two episodes, 32 and 33, should be together as you said it. 🥳 I like when you post two episodes, but sometimes, in my personal opinion, by the second episode you're so tired that you don't pay as much attention as when you're only reacting to one. I understand that because it's tiring, and each episode is about 50 minutes long 😓. Besides, I prefer when you do the analysis for each episode separately. But it's up to you; do what you feel most comfortable with 🙏. I'm very grateful for your reactions. 😊🙌

3:20 Burial Mounds pre-Wuxian: wall of wards surrounded impenetrable blackness that eats body and soul of anyone who tried to enter for centuries with only the top of mountain slightly visible. Burial mounds post-Wuxian: houses, farming, lotus pond, barely any mist left anywhere, not enough to be noticeable to normal people (just like anywhere: call cultivator in case of weird death but since spirits and normal corpses literally either run away from, or bow to Wuxian now they aren’t bothering anyone there if they roam nearby).

If you wanna know who the kid is remember how important names are. I’ll tell you that Yuan means “wish” but he doesn’t have a courtesy name

Katie-Didn’t

6:02 I’ve always thought the ink looked weird on the signature. All one shade then SUPER BOLD signature… THATS not suspicious with how incredibly excited Wangji looked about writing an invite and delivering it… with the terms and all…? I’m seriously not hinting because IT NEVER EXPLAINS THIS!

Katie-Didn’t

20:10 he technically could still use A sword, not a spiritual one, but he still has the martial skills to use one. My take for why he doesn’t is because a sword can’t be used for anything but bloodshed and to keep his will, mind, and emotions steady he needs options and the knowledge that he was attacked while carrying nothing but a flute so he can fight back calmly instead of with violent intent.

Katie-Didn’t

25:50 mini-me iris/pupils in each eye ain’t normal EVER! Not even in their world! And it’s SUPER creepy! And WHY was Peacock even there???

Katie-Didn’t

38:15 soooo hand yourselves over into an obvious trap invalidating everything he’s sacrificed for for YEARS leaving him completely and utterly alone in the world… this is an AWESOME plan that makes me want to kill Wen Qing myself for not knowing Wei Ying better after all this time.

Katie-Didn’t

46:00 and the last people who treat him like a normal person just paralyzed him to go die thinking it will help him… I can’t handle the pain in this episode… 🥺😫😭

Katie-Didn’t

57:10 just for opinion’s sake, if he did, could you say he was wrong to go after anyone who participated in the killing or watched the Wens he was protecting being killed seeing the elderly, older civilians and complete lack of threat they were? And after going back on their agreement that Wen Ning and Qing giving themselves up meant they’d leave everyone else alone?

Milana Smile

the shock i felt when wen ning killed zixuan, the knowledge that it‘s just hopeless now for wuxian… peak cinema 🙏🏼

luvbunnies

I agree with you that regardless of whether WWX lost control or something else happened, it doesn't change the fact that WWX is responsible for Jin zixuan's death. I love wei wuxian but he did bring Wen Ning back and he did make him kill, not saying that it was wrong but that was a choice he made. It the idea that "with power comes responsibility" because wangji kept telling wei wuxian that nothing is certain, you might lose control one day but wei wuxian was overconfident at that point. Even if Wei wuxian didn't want to kill him, he did die because of him and that makes this situation so much worse because there is no explanation. No matter what wei wuxian says at the end of the day He had a big part in Jin zixuan's death unfortunately. It just hurts so much because its a hopeless situation at this point and there is no going back for wuxian now EVER.

Nina Wu

I’m already camped out here waiting for the next episodes 😭🍿

nancy metz

😂😂 me, too. Though I do continue onto the next chapters alone. I can't come to a reasonable stopping place.

nancy metz

I also prefer two, but I also notice how hard it is for you to do two. I vote for quality over quantity.

Mad Hatter

11th rewatch, still cried, roommate is so over it after seeing me sob bc of this show for 4 years lmao

Katie-Didn’t

This sucks and I hate pointing it out, but there’s supporting evidence of it… I felt like Wangji was doing a Yanli thing ever since Wei Ying got out of the Burial Mounds… he was TRYING to be helpful, and from Wangji’s POV he was communicating with words more than he ever had (which just kinda freaked out Wei Ying) and showing how much he cared and how far he was willing to go to help but all he was ACTUALLY doing was hurting Wei Ying every time he asked if he could control it or to go back with him to try a new song he’d been working on. From Wei Ying’s POV if he had to ask, yet again, he couldn’t tell, didn’t trust him, and wasn’t listening. How could Wangji say he was a confidant and wanted to help him with what he was doing if he didn’t even trust Wei Ying’s most basic answers from years ago, trust him to tell him if something had changed or if he was having trouble, because if he was asking again and again, he DIDN’T believe his answer OR that he’d tell him if it had changed (which also makes asking pointless because if you don’t believe the answer from last time, why ask again?). And that lack of trust, especially about something so serious, when he’d repeatedly shown that even when breaking the rules he wouldn’t lie about having done it and he’d take his punishment (if he thought the rules were dumb he might try to stretch the truth about why the rule HAD to be broken so the punishment shouldn’t be as harsh as normal, and if it involved other people THEN he’d immediately take full responsibility without any explanation or excuse) and even go out of his way to try to take other people’s punishment for the breaking of rules. Since Wangji knew all of this VERY well, it would make it feel even worse to Wei Ying. In the novels he’d gotten his nerves together once or twice when he saw him somewhere they’d have some time to talk privately, and decided to tell him exactly what he was doing and how so he would maybe calm down a bit even though he wouldn’t like it, and of course the first thing out of Wangji’s mouth was a lecture about harming his everything those times. In this episode, when he was hearing the voices tormenting him while paralyzed, did you notice how many of them were repeating things Wangji had said? It was disturbing how badly he’d screwed with Wei Ying’s doubts and fears. That’s part of why I have so much trouble with this episode and cry every time 🫣🥺

Katie-Didn’t

You’re not alone. My roommate/caregiver can’t even stand hearing the name anymore. But this episode just has me crying like a faucet when Wen Qing decides to take charge and do the WORST thing possible for Wei Ying’s life and mental health. When I first saw it I was like “ what are you doing??? No!!! You CANT be this stupid! Please don’t! He canNOT handle this TERRIBLE plan!!!” At the TV… like a crazy person… 😓

Katie-Didn’t

Too many Stans walking around. Would the real Yili-… *never mind he won’t answer to that* Okay let’s try again, would the real Wei Wuxi- “my charms ARE real! I MADE THEM MYSELF!”, “SO WHAT? I’M his ONLY disciple and you DEFINITELY aren’t him!” Okay- Anyone who can draw a picture of what he looks like please stand up *everyone stands and shows their Yiling Patriarch ugly old man pictures* … Everyone DOES remember that it was only like, 3 years ago that his looks ranked between Wangji and Jiang Cheng and they’re all about the same age? No news of any major accidents involving acid or some sort of pox related illness? Okay… *looks down and rubs forehead* I’m done. I give up. I can’t work with… whatever this is… —Wei Wuxian disguise: -Straw Hat: slightly frayed -Frayed Faded Farming Robe (uses at home, currently just wrapped sloppily over regular clothes) -Grass Stalk: chewing on the end Disguise% Value: 10%, up to 35% if head is lowered Effectiveness: walks through crowd discussion, makes purchases, and leaves during speech and argument. At no point while living in the Burial Mounds does anyone recognize him other than spies specifically there to watch the entrance and follow, reporting his movements but not telling anyone his identity. He remembers living as a beggar in normal people villages and always interacted with non-cultivators like a normal person when passing through villages and towns unlike most cultivators. Usually they were accepted into a sect or clan young enough that they don’t remember much other than their lives growing up and training with the other cultivators and don’t have a clue how to do “normal life”. Advantage Wei Ying 😊

Katie-Didn’t

Don’t forget that Dimples’ bastard half brother, Mo Xuanu?? (Guy that sacrificed himself to Wei Ying) had just as much right by blood claim and was actually SUMMONED to Carp Tower for training… but was conveniently incompetent, a sexual deviant (not just womanizer because that would have kinda solidified that he took after his dad), AND he was crazy to boot! Even more conveniently he was locked up when he was kicked out and sent home and strangely became progressively more insane for a couple years followed by totally lucid periods randomly for random lengths of time, even weeks, while remembering the bouts of insanity and still feeling his mind randomly fragment for days-a couple months after becoming lucid for the first time since being locked up at the Mo Manor and going back and forth between those states. In the novels “an impartial third party” was sent to see him before verifying Dimples as the only remaining qualified bloodline heir (technically he could have picked a nephew, brother, or even a placeholder till his grandson was of age with a clause that if his grandson couldn’t inherit for any reason he was naming another trusted party- separate papers left to be delivered upon announcement Jin Rulan will not inherit or if he’s not confirmed as clan leader when he comes of age etc. and could name his best disciple or something taking it out of the Jin name completely rather than pass the largest clan to an illegitimate son. With Jin Daddy it would have been a tough choice because the clan had been in his family name so long his family pride vs honor because he KNEW how bad he made his wife look and feel (and was a bit scared of her), and she was also the biggest reason he never acknowledged any children from other women as that would have just been SO much worse- bringing in HIS kids from other women would have seemed like flaunting them when she was already a joke everywhere EXCEPT at home. Her family would have fought it as well and done everything they could to hinder ANYTHING they tried to do whether they agreed or not because of her open humiliation. So making the decision would have been fairly even on pro/cons for him.

The cloudy eyes were different too. Not all white, and not regular also. So yeah.. something else was going on.

Nico D. Dragon

So just for reference the taking direkt control of WN does not happen in the book (at least not in explicit text). But the threat feels greater because the lackeys don't all keep their distance so politely making it possible to manipulate a scenario that ends especially the same.
