Personally, I think the real reason people keep insisting MDZS is told from WWX's POV, even though they admit it's third person omniscient, is because JC is addressed by his birth name 'Jiang Cheng' throughout the entire novel and not his courtesy name. So people wrongly assume it must be from WWX's perspective...
Well, those that cling to such a take aren't going to like the real answer to this... But that's still not the case. If it were from WWX's perspective, JYL would be addressed as 'Shijie', LWJ would be 'Lan Zhan' and JFM would be 'Jiang-shushu' etc. JC is addressed by his birth name throughout the novel because even the narrator thinks he is a clown.
Sorry, but that's the reason. They do not think he deserves respect, just as the rest of the cultivation world doesn't either. If you actually look at the text, you'll notice behind his back, nearly everyone calls JC by his birth name out of disrespect - it's literally in the first few chapters for all to see. He's rarely called by his courtesy name by anyone other than LWJ, WWX when he's pissed and later by JGY and XY in the extras. That's it. It's a show of disrespect throughout the novel and the narrator shows the same. JC isn't called 'Sandu Shengshou' for nothing you know, it's a running theme of disrespect for a character that doesn't deserve much if any at all.
Apparently, not only is RDJ getting $100 million for two movies, which is excessive enough, but he's also getting a private jet, a whole trailer encampment, and box office cuts on top of that - just absolutely disgusting greed on his part and Disney/Marvel having way too much money to blow while exploiting people working on the films and in factories in the Global South making merch for pennies a day.
Its so excessive, I can't imagine defending this. It looks like Marvel is so desperate to turn things around, and they mistakenly believe that bringing RDJ back will fix the issues with their lackluster scripts, bad multiverse premise, bad cgi, and overexposure.
The reason why Luo Binghe (specifically Bingmei) is not treated on the same level as Shen Jiu by story is because he took on the difficulty of making his loved one understand him, this is between xin mo manipulating his trauma and obsession. He inherently, did not want to treat Shen Qingqiu cruelly at any time and was terrified of that outcome. Shen Jiu at no point cared if he treated Yue Qingyuan cruelly because he was convinced of his own narrative (in a similar vein to Shen Yuan thinking that Bingmei is still the same as Bingge).
And the what if doesn't work for Shen Jiu finding out about Yue Qingyuan's hardships because he is very jealous of others of his same circumstances being able to persevere and be talented. He did not want to be seen as an equal but wanted the entitlement of prestige and the cruelty that can be used from it, just as Bingge achieved during PIDW. It did not matter how much they were beloved, because they wanted entitlement while ridiculing love. Something that Shen Jiu instilled into his Luo Binghe. Because Shen Qingqiu changed that trajectory for Bingmei he was still able to believe in small kindnesses by one person not ridiculing that concept.
Shen Jiu did not care if he was actually loved. He used being unloved as his weapon to be worse because doing the opposite was much more difficult.
I'll save you the read. We think he's a cunt.
Truly nothing is funnier than Xie Lian just losing his goody two shoes facade when Qi Rong is involved like when everyone else is an asshole or doing evil things Xie Lian just smiles patiently and thinks it’s none of his business but the second Qi Rong is around he is being force fed Xie Lians food and made fun of for being a wrath and getting served straight hands the second he says anything about Hua Cheng like truly some things are just for the family.
I hope Hiruzen and Danzo are burning in some darkest corners of hell for doing this to him.
He looks so, so tired here. Let me repeat what I've said hundreds of times before — HE WAS JUST A CHILD.
Also an F you to Kishimoto because how dare you.
I’m starting to sound like a nutcase at work because upper management keeps trying to implement AI programs and AI assistants and Chat GPT and my middle-of-the-road, don’t-infodump, don’t-engage response has been “I don’t like AI”, “I prefer to remain in control of my own tasks”, “I’d rather make my own mistakes”, and “I don’t trust any machine smarter than a toaster”
This ain't even a question
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.
