It occurred to me several episodes in that Rebirth is best seen as fanfiction or an alternate universe. I was…
If it give you any solace, Chu Qiao did achieve what she wanted in life at the end of the novel.
Funny enough, the drama ending also points toward it ... but there was zero setup in rebirth to indicate that. So most people will miss it without knowing what happen in the novel
Ep 19-20: When LQQ argued with XM, he only kept on asking what she wanted him to do. Because he couldn't say what…
He not a blank canvas like you claim though...
throughout the story he literally not a character that feels nothing.... he literally show empathy to variety of people... When he was an official in Wei county he did what he did to prevent people from suffering.
He save Tai Yi when he was young because he felt bad that he was bully. And even when he saw how the immortality pill have created so much bloodshed... he literally beat up his disciple cause of it and lecture him how he forgot his teaching..... how is this a character that feel nothing?
Heck he even save the Female Lead because he felt bad that he deceive her and she want through all of that to avenged him.
"For example, Wei Shuanguan was shown as stubborn and straightforward, but never unintelligent. He was powerful and action-driven, yet in the later episodes he is pushed into the background. His transformation into a dragon should have been a major moment, but it ended up feeling underwhelming and did not lead to much impact."
I bet Wei Shuanguan was pretty confused how he end up in VoS 😣
The ending isn’t the only problem with Rebirth is how they got there.But again, just like people can interpret…
"I personally understand why you hate this show. I can repeat every reason behind the hate. I witness the weaknesses, too. But it doesn't hurt or anger me, because I understand the reason behind those weaknesses. I accept them and move with the strengths.
I believe that every work, every story, has value, including this one. So, it is important to remain fair and balance our perspective with differing opinions. Do not assume that only your eyes are open while mine are blind. My eyes are open as well, through appreciation."
Lol, it's funny how you can grandstand this hard.
People like you are the funniest people here. Stop being performative. Read the first comment I typed; you literally point out that people misunderstood the ending. And I told you it's not just about the ending.
But now you're telling me it's ok to have different opinions on it? When you literally are in another post with someone else agreeing with them cause they say people's opinions are incorrect cause they are confused whether it's an open ending or a sad ending. Not only that, but that person mocked others for not being able to see how clear the ending was.
Yup, you are so open-minded!
And you are acting here as if you are the victim.... You literally call others out for being "incorrect". Though you didn't directly say that, no amount of word salad can hide your intention.
The ending isn’t the only problem with Rebirth is how they got there.But again, just like people can interpret…
With a comment like this, you should just move on.
In fact, all you've written to me so far has proved you "have closed yourself from any input that differs from what you believe?"
Don't pretend you are open to things when you're clearly closed-minded about them.
Maybe English is not your first language, but what you wrote before this suggests you want to debate it. There's nothing to debate about. If you think Rebirth is great, that's cool. It's just that the majority of people don't... and again, I say it's not just about the ending.
That not how I look at the ending at all, yes it might be "HE" in a sense they are together.But they aren't…
Again what you propose does not resolve the time loop,
like you say we assume WSG remember everything due to "Thanks to the dragon deity’s power, he remembered everything: who he truly was, his purpose, and the path he had to take to ensure everyone he cared for would survive the future."
But he does not have the ability to time travel. The person he was in the new timeline cannot just go back to the start of Wei manor using Dragon deity power.
If that was the case... Chi Wen can just end the show before the show even started.
That not how I look at the ending at all, yes it might be "HE" in a sense they are together.But they aren't…
50 year, After LWY was created from the different part of the WWY and other nine tail fox, which was cause by WSG master blowing them up after the flood dragon massacre.
The ending isn’t the only problem with Rebirth is how they got there.But again, just like people can interpret…
from what perspective ? if I use the novel perspective... that ending would be funny cause they arent close in the novel at all.
From a Rebirth perspective, it would still be weird, cause we saw one flashback of them sword-practicing, then a brief exchange in Xi Meng when Yan Xun offers him soup. Then a brief flashback of Zhuge Yue pleading to the emperor to spare Yan Xun.
So you are telling me that is enough to showcase their bond?

Everyone in Rebirth have the correct name from the novel, setting wise it more faithful to the novel as well

If you want to know what happen in the novel, I can tell you but he not that important.. but funny enough in the novel Li Ce have 3 son
It pretty good if you are familiar with xianxia
We're coming for the number 1 Comments spot
But moonlit reunion was decent, so maybe he having an off year in 2026

The hypocrisy is just hilarious.

And it's not just the ending, it largely has to do with the script and the build-up.

"they made it meaningless after all that struggle. Who cares if a new JL and LWY have a normal romance story, I don't"
It might be meaningless to you and skizlock, but it doesn't mean it's meaningless to everyone.
Maybe skizlock want the show to directly tell you what happens, and that's fine, but this does not make it any less meaningful
We can agree to disagree on this specific point, but timeline issues that we cannot

If yes then it just we can agree to disagree
