[Episode] Ne Zha: China's Symbol of Rebellion

Added 2025-04-25 13:10:54 +0000 UTC

Okay, the title should be Nezha in one word, but thanks to the recent movie, "Ne Zha" with the space in between has become the word to tickle the algorithm. I rant about this on social media before, but Nezha is a given name and should be written without space, kinda like Zhang Yimou. In the subtitles of this video, if I wrote Nezha, I'm referring to the character, and Ne Zha refers to the 2019 film.

Anyway, this has been a long requested video since Ne Zha 2 first came out. I will probably talk about the film proper in a later video, but for now, this is a video about Nezha, the character, so you can enjoy the films with just enough context, like an average Chinese filmgoer. Hopefully, the video makes you go "Oh, so that's why". I hope you enjoy the Ne Zha series, too!
