what did they mean by this?
Not really, it's kinda impressive all things considered. They even got people from Lord of the rings to work on it. Though some stuff in it just make you shake your head
Fantasy, not medieval fantasy

>all the wizards look like xian instead of old people because Chinese can't grow beards

Pure kino

Fucking retard.

nigger
Do you think everything with a sword is medieval?
It's not impressive when you realize that Chinese makes this shit all the time. IDK why this one is special enough to be here, but pretty much every year there are at least 10 shows like it and twice as many movies.
It could be worse
I guess so

I thought it looked more like GoT than LotR. For being chink shit it looks like it has a decent budget for once, but I still couldn't get past the first episode.
It's on viki.com if you wanna watch it for free.
Mark my words.
Someday something decent is going to come out of China.
>using stock music
better than the hobbits
I really enjoyed this Chinese drama called Catch Me Now.
>everything looks like plastic
in that case
>Chinese Hobbit trilogy
fixed
Their historical epics such as Red Cliff aren't too bad. Hero was pretty good.
Why are there so many elves? ELVES?
I wondered that too, anyone know what's up with it?
Also here's another glorious webm

Just watch thunderbolt fantasy.
Tell me this is parody ?
One day someone in china will have the imagination to re-imagine Journey to the West in a sci fi setting
Unfortunately not, have you seen the snowball matrix crap?
>Journey to the West
When I was reading the book I imagined Monkey with Archer's voice. Don't know where this "playful" interpretation of the character came from, he seems to be just an asshole to me.
You do realize that the Chinks have a long tradition of Wuxia films that even heavily influenced Western action and sci fi movies? For Chinks, this is just one of many of similar movies that they churn out every year though the trend seems to try to mimic the look of fantasy MMOs that they love.
pls tell me thats not Rickyooooh
Who gives a fuck what their tradition is like? The point is that garbage is so bad, you'd be begging for more capeshit after 15 minutes of it.

wtf are u talking about? stfu
Oh God it's 1 AM here and I couldn't stop myself from bursting out in laughter
This is Steven Seagal levels of cringe.
Top kek
JUST
Anyone?
This is a TV show, right? In that case bad CGI is forgivable. Kinda nice that they have this level of fantasy on TV.
Chinese fantasy movies are pure kino
League of Gods was one of the strangest experiences I've ever had in a theater
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Chinese fantasy movies are pure kino
Recommend anything in particular? I've watched the usual stuff (Crouching Tiger, Flying Daggers, Hero)
>Those ear prosthetics
never give a chink a camera
Zu Warriors
Are you retarded?
Watched the 80's one, it was fucking great. Is the 90's also good? Doesn't look appealing to me for some reason.
these low quality chinese flicks are pretty amazing desu
they dont give a single fuck
It's okay but not great.
That's what I love about them. This is what dceu should be like
>Chinese Lord of the Rings
That's Journey to the West, not whatever this shit is
>implying Cred Forums knows anything about literature
Chinese "high fantasy" will always be a cringefest
It sucked back then, it'll suck now.
Just make things based on our own mythology, not this shit
>elves
Don't they have like their own mythology?
knowing chinks, that's probably a real lion painted white
Girls are qts though
This isn't High Fantasy, it's ICE Fantasy. Checkmate, burgerclap.
cultural apprpriation bro
get triggered

With lead paint.
I am Chinese, and I can assure you we are just as confused as you are.
I remember when The Promise came out back in 2005. It was one of the first Chinese films of this style. People were confused as fuck about what the film was about. The parody of the film were better received than the film itself.
You guys should really watch The Promise though. It was...something
>...
Fuck off.
>getting triggered by punctuations
You don't even know what medieval means you fucking moron, yes they did only happen in Europe like the renaissance only happened in Europe.
>hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr HUUUUURRRRRRRRRR
>only happen in Europe
Western actually, it englobes a little more that just Europe
I'd rather stick with my tai puppet shows.
at least this one isnt tarnishing the reputation of any cash-poor white actors
What's the name of the parody?
Why is millennial Jackie Chan such a piece of shit?
A Murder Case Caused by Mantou
Disgusting cultural appropriation. Where do I complain?
Well you have to grade on a curve. Americans had a film industry for what, a hundred years? China's only started in the last 20.
Its like comparing Lebron to a kid who just started learning basketball.
