Compared to the traditional image of Nezha in The Descent of the Demon Child, which one matches your imagination of Nezha?

Anyone who enjoys reading Chinese mythology recognizes such a deity. That's our third son, Nezha. When it comes to Ne Zha, I think many people should be familiar with his image. Nezha is wearing two little hairpins, a Qiankun ring around his neck, and two wind and fire wheels on his feet. In his hand, he holds a red tasseled spear. He is valiant and a bit cute. This should be the more traditional image of Nezha in mythology. It is also an image that many people are more familiar with when they know Nezha.

But there is such a work that breaks the routine of the traditional image of Nezha. It can be said to be another completely different version of Ne Zha. That's the movie that will be released in the summer of 2019? Nezha's Magic Boy Descends? When this movie was first released there were also a lot of people who complained that the Nezha in this movie was just too ugly. That's because Na Zha in this movie can be described as a rebellious, uptight character. And this version of Ne Zha is wearing heavy smoky makeup, which is really not related to the past cute. So in the beginning, some netizens said they couldn't accept this version of Ne Zha.

I actually like this version of Ne Zha in the movie. In this version of Ne Zha, although his appearance is not as cute as the traditional image, he even looks a bit gangster. He even looks a bit gangsterish. But through the plot and the setting of this Nezha with the magic pill, you will feel that this version of Nezha is really in line with the plot. It's out of the box but original and impressive. That's why there are many people who love this version of Nezha in the later stages, and I'm one of them.

While Nezha was ostracized by the other townspeople because of the setting of the demon pill, and many even called him a demon. But his good nature remains unchanged. His courage and perseverance in fighting against fate y touched the townspeople who originally hated him. So I think this version of Nezha seems to have become more fleshed out. Although he has his own little temper and rebelliousness. But he has his own insistence on what is right and what is wrong, and he is a good-natured and clever character. I think this is why so many people love this version of Ne Zha. So many people like this version of Nezha's reason.
