Why does Ne Zha's Demon Boys' Adventure overturn tradition?

Why does Ne Zha's Demon Boys' Adventure overturn tradition?

The most intuitive thing is that the appearance of the characters is different from the original classics we know. In Ne Zha: The Descent of the Demon Child, Ne Zha has changed from his usual image of being a kind and cute little doll to a reincarnation of a demonic child, who, although still a child, is darker, ugly and hideous, and can literally make a child cry.

Ao Beng, on the other hand, has changed from a haughty playboy to the movie's gentle, handsome man. His emotions are also more delicate, as a family mission of the East China Sea Dragon Prince personality is also more entangled. In appearance is more human and immortal synthesis, body floating, elegant demeanor, a fluttering beautiful young man image.

The second subversion is Nezha's childlike innocence. In the past, although Nezha did get into trouble, it was a child's naughtiness. But this time it's different, as he seems to be really messing with his neighbors, claiming to be a little demon and scaring them into shutting up their homes. The voice acting has also taken a turn for the baby voice and changed it to maniacal, flamboyant and evil.

Li Jing in "Ne Zha Raises the Sea" was weak and cold, and Mrs. Yin didn't miss her face a few times throughout. In this movie, however, Li Jing is a kind, stable and strict father, while his mother, Mrs. Yin, is upgraded to a strong woman who drives away demons. Then there's the immortal Taiyi in "Ne Zha in the Sea," who turns into a fat, alcoholic man who speaks in a dialect and rides a flying pig.

The movie "The Descent of the Magical Boy" is, I think, more about the birth of a Chinese hero, and more about the theme of "I will win the day," with a deeper meaning of "rebellion" that "breaks down labels. A deeper meaning is "rebellion" which "breaks the label". In the movie, everyone is burdened with other people's preconceptions to a greater or lesser extent.

Ne Zha has been regarded as a demon by the villagers of Chentang Pass since he was a child, and even when he rescued the girl from the Nightjar, he was treated as a bad guy who stole the child. Ao Beng, a member of the Dragon Clan, was ostracized for being "different". The dragons submitted to the Heavenly Court a hundred years ago, but because they were born as demons, even if they are immortal, they are still suppressed by the Heavenly Court in the East China Sea to watch over the beasts, which is called the Dragon Palace, but in fact it is a prison.

An innovative story that subverts the past, with two layers of new interpretations that are contemporary, both beautiful to look at and allegorical, is what makes "The Descent of Nezha's Demon Children" so well-received.
