What is the appeal of wuxia?
>>751058546What the fuck was that jump looooool
>>751058638kung fu jump, I believe
why do all these chinkslop games look the same
>>751058546>>751058638AHAHAHAHAHAHASomeone should made a webm with just a jump
>>751058638typical chinkfu, they love this stuff ever since crouching tiger hidden dragon, and they don't have an original bone in their bone, probably why all of their stories are the same boring old unspired slop.
>>751058745dunno, their movies are the exact same shit again and again too
I dunno I like Legend of Hei
>>751058546the reason wuxia exist is because everything is banned in china so they only allow fantasy "historical" trash
>>751059026>>751058978>>751058923this whole movie was just animation flexing and letting the production team shove all their OCs in
>>751058769Junior, you dare being so brazen. You have eyes yet you can't see Mt. Tai. Your dantian needs to be crippled before you're put to kowtowing for the thousandth time. My disciples will wipe out your three generations. Your wife will be turned into a human furnace, your son will be forcibly fed a demonic yin pill before being subjected to grievous pleasures of flesh and send to the 3rd Elder for his dual cultivation as you writhe in pain and die from qi deviation.
>>751059238gonna be honest this type of writing is genuinely funny as fuck
>>751059238
>>751058546where is the part where she is sweating rivers from her armpits?
>>751058769Crouching Tiger actually completely bombed in china. The leads could barely speak mandarin, there wasn't enough actionslop and chinks already had wuxia fatigue at the time. The film was literally made for ignorant western audiences
>>751059982>he fell for the aislop
I've never been into Asian women but Japs, gooks and chinks never stop trying
>>751059265It is! I had a few years of devouring a bunch of manhua wuxia. It's so ridiculous and foreign, stuff like martial peak and especially some older ones with more authentic but poorer quality localization
>>751059982this dude just casually admits he falls for the weakest of propaganda lmao
>>751058546japan adjacent and japanese thing = good
No country has ever lied more about their history than China. Imagine of italy were producing hundreds of shows and games of old romans jumping 4 floors and wearing dungeons and dragons armors
>>751058546Sex
>>751061293imagine if england produced hundreds of shows and games about how some guy pulled a magic sword that made him king out of a lake and how his waifu was a super cool epic sorceror and his best bro was a wizard
>>751058638Looked cool as fuck.
xianxia is custom made for low IQs with brownoid tendencies
>>751058745the same reason all dark souls game look the same
>>751058747with a >Shadman at the bottom
>>751058546>ching chong>bing bong
>>751058546The same appeal as cape-shit.
>>751062195I always see this comparison and I don't understand. Care to explain? I'm legit curious.
>>751058546It's capeshit for chinks
>>751064317>>751064317>I'm legit curious.NTA butWesterners have superheroesJapan has super sentai/kamen rider/etcChina has Wuxia.India has Bollywood and all their ridiculous moviesetcNot that hard to understand.
>>751064425But it's without the jewish Spandex.
>>751061293>Imagine of italy were producing hundreds of shows and games of old romans jumping 4 floors and wearing dungeons and dragons armorsSounds cool as shit. Sounds like Italy should get to work instead of relying on tourism to keep their country afloat.
I'm not from China so I don't really care about this kind of thing. and yet I'm not from Japan and they still manage to make interesting games even though a lot of them are still Feudal Japan with anime and magic: The game. Honestly though, it seems like every big game out of China that you hear about in the west is a Wuxia / Ancient Chinese mythology style game. Every single one. Meanwhile Japan you have games like Resident Evil which still feel Japanese and yet have nothing really to do with Japan in their stories, or Zelda, or Mario, or Metroid or Castlevania or Sonic or Pokemon or countless other games that innovated something new in video games, yet you see nothing like that ever come out of China. A country of 1.5 billion people and the only games we ever get are Wuxia.
The sad thing is, if they were all dressed like this, nobody would be asking any questions, because this is what the european race has been brainwashed to admire.
>>751058745That's what happens when you live in a country that values theft over creativity.
>>751065039trvke
>>751065039>yet you see nothing like that ever come out of ChinaYour next trick will be >but gacha doesn't count as video games
>>751065137Kek.
>>751058546Those chinks are hot not gonna lie
>>751065137>if they were all dressed like this, nobody would be asking any questions,Definitely, these types of threads are basically very obvious culture shock shitposting threads where westerners basically repeat ad nauseam>y not like us?
>>751064836Modern western capeshit is so fucking shit
>>751061375Missed the King Arthur episodes that had him jumping 4 stories in the sky while doing multiple flips then causing people to fly 50 feet back by waving his hand.>>751064425Without any of the actual weight of capeshit.
>>751058546That jump
>>751065297You're generally right, but Limping Coompony is from Worstkorea
>>751058546BOINGGGG
>>751058546Didn't know they were makikg more Naruto.
>>751058769>probably why all of their stories are the same boring old unspired slop.you're white
>>751058546I would take hot asian women with weird physics over grounded masculine women designed by westerners any day of the week.
>>751065565I didn't know it's from SK, i just grabbed the first pic i found, thanks for pointing that out. But it is interesting how many chinese made gacha, while containing areas that are chinese inspired, for the most part are totally unrelated to china otherwise.
>>751065440>Modern western capeshit is so fucking shitThey've worked overtime on enshittifying it.
>>751065691Naruto ripped off of cultivation novels
>>751065903>totally unrelated to china otherwise.It's probably because you think China is a bunch of mud huts.https://www.google.com/maps/@30.764925,116.81412,3a,75y,277.84h,93.56t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sCIHM0ogKEICAgIDqxYKqsgE!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fgpms-cs-s%2FAM4Q-U8KHI8SsdAyMRuPo6LBPUiQZnxrzIRpo1ME0VGM_d1kMWapbLCz-YjhiupM0SCOuS86ayDVcmoHU-CXiOQzfRoy3sQcPKhFXNHyGdi1tfV6w32XwNJWctkEctDivwB1rR-0WrsjvQ%3Dw900-h600-k-no-pi-3.564065993107576-ya323.83882468024143-ro0-fo100!7i8704!8i4352?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MTEwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
>>751065039I don't want to defend china but they only started making big budget video games in the recent decade.Also due to china's firewall, most chinese don't even interact with foreign culture and art outside of super popular hollywood stuff or classical arts.Japan was consuming all sorts of foreign culture, art, music, food, etc during the 70s and 80s and had decades to incorporate them. Also japanese have 2 very distinct traits: 1 is they are extremely nationalistic, believing their culture to be the best and want their shit to be the best, and 2, the uncanny ability to identify the core of something from another culture and inject their sensibility into them and transforming into thing-but-japanese.I don't know if it's their extremely rigid societal norms that make japanese want to be the best and special in their individualistic way through their work but that might explain their creativity.
>>751058546chinese martial arts shit is cool
>>751066234I meant it as design wise/character garb/story. Genshin has only 1 chinese zone and the rest are foreign.
No even discuss this game week after release lmao

>>751066368predominantly chinese playerbase.
I'd love a real wuxia game, but it's all just soulsslop.
>>751066443Nihao Aishiteru Shibai?
The cool thing about asian style fantasy is that even the warriors can do cool supernatural stuff with their kiWhile western fantasy warriors end up being weak trash without MagicAlso ki makes it easier for me to self insert since it seens anyone can do it, while I feel I would be too stupid to study western MagicCan someone who knows about this stuff give me a qrn on how magic works in asian settings? Do chinese wizards have to study? Do their magic use ki or something else?I know that in Dragon ball there's a difference between ki and Magic.
>>751066531the chins are still finding their identity in game design
>>751065039Wukong is Xianxia. ACS is too. I only ever want them to make Wuxia and Xianxia and all the other subgenres in it because nobody else would make them.Reminder that a lot of Japanese media also took a lot of inspiration from their work.
>>751058745>why do all these chinkslop games look the sameBecause they are. Bug people don't have imaginations, they just recreate millions of copies of what other peoples have already made.
>>751058546There isn't any. Soulless China slop.
>>751058546I don't know. I never was a fan of wuxia or manhuas but now I read nano machine and must admit that was fvarking kino. Will dabble into that genre a bit more desu.
>>751066531You haven't watched a single wuxia film in your life.
>>751058546for my pasty white ass, it's different I know Greek mythology like the back of my handNorse mythology has almost as much exposure generic western fantasy is cannibalizing itselfI want more new cool shit, this is more cool shitFurthermore, if the poos got off their asses and started making good games out of their mythology, that would be amazing
>>751066787agree.exploration of real hindu themes would be dope.
>>751066787>if the poos got off their asses and started making good games out of their mythology, that would be amazingi genuinely have exactly 0 interest in anything india doesthe chinks on the other hand have been absolutely cooking and i'm very much looking forward to the next black myth game
>>751066006I like how comics shooting itself in the foot for decades has lead to anime just suddenly flooding into the west because comic fans are so bored while waiting for the industry to correct they just read Japanese stuff
>>751066585depends on the setting but chink wizards tend to also be working with ki/qi/chi just in different wayswarriors internalize it to make themselves stronger, wizards do stuff with it externally, sometimes needing elaborate rituals and formations, sometimes they can just move ki around in the right way to make things happen ala western magic.They have elements toothey tend to always be styled as scholars and barring the usual one in a billion genius they have to study to know how to do thingswhat you wont like is that generally to learn martial techniques you have to meditate and memorize elaborate ways to cycle the ki internally or even texts to reciteeven chink warriors have to learn the 3 classics.
>>751066498Both xianxia and isekai are the same repetitive slop, ngl.
>>751065903Wizardry Ultima and a lot of the older fantasy stuff really pushed the asian countries into using western aesthetics for fantasy stuff that includes magic and wizard.
>>751066585They eat/absorb pills and shit, read top sekrit club manuals, meditate for 500 years, and then boom motherfucker is super saiyajin 6.They can do shit by using talismans to naruto hand signs to plain magic incantations
>>751066585>>751066959better hope you're born with good meridians so you cultivate 100x faster than a regular jobber too. also that you're not TOO good so that people are tempted to kill you and bodyjack you to use your superior body
>>751067218exactly, fucked up chinese lore is cool
I read Chinese stuff once I'm caught up on my animus and mangos and it can be entertaining
wuxia >>>>>>>>>>>> power gap >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> xianxiasorry but its just gay, (You) are gay if you like xianxia
>>751066607see dragon ball for showing the chinks up at their own game
>>751067321Damn right. You're gay if you like power fantasies. We must be better men.
>>751067526'gay' is the ultimate power fantasy -- see any prison
>>751067526Kratos...
I wish wuxia movies hadn't gobbled up all the kung fu actors.
>>751067524Uh huh. Just like naruto, hxh, etc. They won, chinks suck, blah blah.The fuck is this shit do you just post here to make up conflicts and pick sides?
where is the meng hao mcdonalds copypasta?can't have a wuxia/xianxia thread without it
>>751058546In modern media? None whatsoever.In musical theater and similar media where all the acrobatics is basically just visual shorthand? It works alright.
>>751058546sexy ninja
>>751066585>Can someone who knows about this stuff give me a qrn on how magic works in asian settings?Let me introduce you to the religion of Taoism. And buddy, they have to study a lot. Taoism has an entire library for their written works compared to other religions maybe having a single large book. They also have to do a ton of meditation and exercise. A key feature in literally every culture on earth is that you don't get power or enlightenment w/o putting in the work.If you want the fictional or mythological version, its basically ancient and medieval transhumanism. You're trying to modify your body through ingesting various concoctions and by shaping your life force or chi/ki to enhance your body and soul so that you can ascend to a higher level of existence. Its a lot of chemistry/alchemy combined with meditation and exercise. Also western magic is only the way it is in fiction because of LoTR and D&D. It used to be very different. Still a lot of studying and doing alchemy experiments, but when you wanted magic to be done, you recited or wrote down prayers. Its why spells are spoken out loud in fiction today, its a hold over from when you had to pray to God, the gods, some spirits, or other supernatural entity.
>>751066787>I want more new cool shit, this is more cool shitI felt like this a couple years ago. But then I played a bunch of Chinese mythology games and man, the novelty wore off so fucking fast.>you must fight Ching Chong Ping Pong, the Blade Fanatic!>brother of Ping Pong Ching Chong, the Fanatic Blade!Yeah, I think I'm just gonna stick to>elves, but slightly different #7438
>>751058546gay chinese propaganda, everything you like about china actually came from hong kong with bruce lee and jackie chan. Actual china erased all their history for jewish communism.
>>751068339Taoism is the Chinese equivalent of Judaism
>>751058745peak of chinese creativity is wukong's journey to the west of three kingdoms
>>751058546There's a 2 days old phantom chink thread that gets bumped every 30mins by a samefagging shill in the catalog and you decided to make another one. Absolute state of this floppa.
>>751068371>I played a bunch of Chinese mythology gamesyou played fewer of these than there are entries in just the Dark Souls franchise
>>751066498Post irl -xia characters.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Xiaodong

Think about it, there was probably countless, endless amounts of more stories like romance of the three kingdoms, wu kong, the history of martial arts in china, but commies burnt it all up. Some of the oldest surviving martial art masters still have old burned books they study from. They really went full retard and about burned down the equivalent of the library of alexandria in china. So much shit completely wiped from history, they even dug up old burial grounds of ancient chinese mummies and destroyed them and all the artifacts because commies wanted to invent a new china.This is why humans have amnesia, every now and again some retards just happen to burn down and destroy all past knowledge, now all we do is just coom and kill each other.
>>751058638>Shadman jump

>>751068706>endless amounts of more stories like romance of the three kingdoms, wu kong, the history of martial arts in china,Most of them were probably mid.
>>751068536Yes, that's the point. It took very little for the novelty to wear off, and without novelty there was nothing else of substance there.
>>751064836yeah, but Super Heroes and Kamen Riders are you know... heroes. Wuxia MC's are all immoral psychopaths. the absolute best of them are polite sociopaths.
>>751068536the japanese already did it first and only the most chinkaboo autist care about it.Japanese also did it better, chinese sounds disgusting.
>>751069048So are Marvel and DC characters.
Who /Quarter-Pounder Realm/ here?
One day there will be a game that captures the vibe of Thunderbolt Fantasy...
>>751060162Japs are the same as chinks and gooks senpai tf u on>t. south gook
Japanese made better wuxia than China will ever make in their life time.Cope
>>751069105there are some, like batman and hulk, but their mental illnesses are treated as abnormal behaviors, not goals to aspire to.
>>751068706That's not true at all.A lot was destroyed but tons are still preserved. You just never heard of them because no one in the west cares about 5000 years of Chinese autism.
>>751058546it makes chinoids pog the same way that indians pog when they see the singular good look muscular indian who is above 5'8 walk down a paved street in america after he showered and combed his hair or the same way that americattle pog when they watch a white guy with a beard save an airport full of helpless bluelibs being attacked by non-descript brown savages
>>751066885holy shit that's a great idea ngl
>>751069210but tons are still preservedyou mean>crane storyno only the degenerate ancient HMOFA was preserved
>>751069181Genshin is p gud ngl
>>751058546I like wuxia but this is just shitty animation. more like yeetxia.
>>751069197The averag CN main character never aspire to be psychopaths. This is just some weird butthurt trip you're on.
>>751068339This bro thinks too hardDaoism has three rules :>Dont piss against the wind>Dont break whats not broken>Get swoleEverything else is mix of all the traditional Chinese religions.
>>751069295feel like I'm talking to engagement bot here--in any case, would need to be a non-westernized exploration of trad/historical hindu themes.super underrepresented in global media.
>>751069197Read a book. Virtually every A lister except maybe Spider-Man is a violent thug with a long list of atrocities.
>>751069624>non-westernized exploration of trad/historical hindu themes.That's going to be difficult, hinduism is an umbrella term that was invented by a British guy.Generally you shouldn't expect too much litterary art from a race that is 70 iq average. You will only hurt yourself in the process.
>>751069510you've never seen a Wuxia MC seriously injure someone over a minor slight and the author treat it like it was a totally normal event? and "minor slight" is doing some heavy lifting since its usually just the other guy having a perfectly normal reaction to something, just in a way the MC doesn't like.
>>751068998>nothing else of substance therewukong, wuchang, and pb0 are all excellent gamesi'm sorry you're a brown street shitter who needs to cope with the fact that chyna mogs the everloving fuck out of your country
>>751070252>MC seriously injure someone over a minor slight and the author treat it like it was a totally normal event?You mean like a bandit who is destroying the your family's food stall?Explain why it's psychopathic to injure that bandit.
>>751070252@grok pull up a list of western and japanese media where violence against certain people are portrayed as justified
>>751070493no, its usually some talented disciple of another sect who disagrees with MC over who should get to enter a secret realm or something, so MC cripples him unprovoked despite the other guy only making a verbal objection.
>>751070436>are all excellent gamesNot for their writing.
>>751070142Hinduism (noun): the dominant religion of India that emphasizes dharma with its resulting ritual and social observances and often mystical contemplation and ascetic practicesbeing a pedant wins you points in the afterlife.
>>751070750>no, its usuallyNTA but it's really not. Feel free to list examples btw.
>>751070809That's just the libtard take on it.Pajeets were originally different tribes who had nothing to do with each other. Brits unified them, Brits unified all their magic man fairy tales under 1 umbrella.
>Chinese games are shit>/v/ is full of Chinkshills>Chinese films are objectively the best in Asia>Never see a single Chink shilling thread on /tv/Why?
>>751070750>MC cripples him unprovokedThat's a lie though. Authors always make sure there is a justification for the violence. Unless it's from a villain, which still means you are a liar.
>>751071008>Why?Because you're using chinkshills instead of sinophile. Change the words and your post makes more sense.
>>751058546Think of it like Chinese star wars
>>751059238Xianxia is something else
>>751071008Sometimes it feels like Chinese fans are separated into two categories/groups. One group (Usually for the bad ones like their vidya, Webnovels especially the gay ones, Webtoon Manhua, etc) are ultra defensive withwith CHina despite their products being shit while the other (Films, Old Manhua like RoT or those HK Manhua, classic literature, Puppetry, etc) are pretty whatever (which is honestly not entirely good because their stuffs are genuinely great-amazing and they don't care to either promote or defend them)
>>751070928contemplate the definition of semiotics
>>751070841The scene i was thinking of was from Beast Tamer Ascension although i can't give you a chapter number because i stopped reading it a long time ago. to be completely honest i know my claim was an exaggeration, and that it's not the "average" Mc but more of a caricature of how xianxia stories sometimes go. didn't meant o actually strike a nerve with anyone.
