fairy tale
One is the moon princess from the Silver Night Forest. Because Yi Nian Zhi Ren let go of the female thief who stole the lotus, her goddess lost her supernatural power, so the princess who blamed herself embarked on a journey to find the lotus.
One is a young knight from a mysterious dragon castle. After witnessing a battle between the ancient dragons and the ancient demons, the dying ancient dragon was possessed by the dying ancient dragon and gained powerful but uncontrollable power.
When Princess Runoff meets a brave knight and walks together, a vulgar bridge seems to be about to unfold.
It seems to be, but it does not seem to be.
Here, the princess Mirana, who is superb in archery skills, has vigorous and sharp eyes, and her pet is an eye-catching tiger, a follower and a warrior. She maintains a royal style of conversation with thorns in her words, which can be called a model of American tsundere.
On the other side, Davian, known as the dragon knight, is a heroic dragon slaying hero with stunts during the day, but at night he lingers in the flowers, dreams of life and death, heroic and decadent.
When Princess Tsundere meets the prodigal knight, it seems to be another vulgar bridge.
It seems to be, but it does not seem to be.
The 13-year-old Sun Princess gave up her Sun Throne and plunged into the arms of the Moon God; ten years later, the Moon Princess, who lost her lotus flower, fled her throne again; she was clearly a sharp sun and a bright moon surrounded by stars. But like a little girl, her eyes widened in the shadow, anxiously trying to catch something.
The young Davian witnessed the tragic death of his family and village under the dragon's breath, and he joined the Dragon Fort who survived, determined to slaughter the evil dragons in the world. His heart should be getting harder and harder in this endless cycle of killings, and finally as solid as a rock like any dragon knight. But because of an accident, he merged with his mortal enemy, and the dragon-slayer knight eventually became an evil dragon.
In the fairy tale, the princess and the knight fell in love at first sight, as it should have been.
It seems that it is not.
When you have only seen the whole, the world seems to be good everywhere. And if you have experienced incompleteness, you can easily distinguish those that are missing, cracked, or even fragmented in the streets and alleys. This is not difficult, but it is difficult to see the missing piece in this fragment.
This is probably love.
It seems to be, but it does not seem to be.
Love
Do you love me?
Do you love me? —— Luna Ceremony
The religion says: God loves the world, and the world should love God. However, the world has not heard God say that he loves you with his own ears, but he firmly believes that God loves himself. This is faith.
The value of faith lies in people's belief, belief in the existence of invisible and unheardable things, and belief in the meaning of their existence. This is something people, and only people can do, but not everyone can do it, so it is desirable.
But Moon God is different. Her followers can not only hear the voice of God, hit the Bo of God, and even feel the love of God.
Where is faith, it is simply materialism.
As a result, Moon God turned his cult into an enterprise, trading his love for the love of believers. Because in this world, the love of believers is the source of her divine power, the lotus flower in her pond, which is regarded as a treasure, and the capital of all living beings. As we all know, capital never sleeps. No wonder it is the moon god (fog), which is far away. ——
As we all know, capitalists measure the world by value, and in the eyes of the Moon God, the love of believers also has a valuable difference. Compared with ordinary believers, the love of the sun princess who gave up the throne is naturally more precious, and the title of the moon princess is the reward given by the moon god. The love of the once infamous "Scourge of the Plains" came second, and was given the title of Knight of the Moon.
However, when the Moon God discovered that Princess Mirana had failed to shoot the thief who stole the lotus because of her soft heart, she knew that the princess’s love for herself had not yet overwhelmed her conscience (weakness?), and the love of God’s feedback would be It must be re-evaluated.
However, if the love of believers is a source of strength for God, what use is the love of God for believers?
The answer is simple, a sense of security.
People need to be loved-urgently and indispensably; but love is so difficult to be clearly and accurately felt.
No one knows our own flaws better than ourselves, the incompleteness we are born with, and the shortcomings we encounter when we grow up. They almost always remind us of our ugliness and powerlessness, urging us to ask ourselves: Can someone like me like this?
If, I mean, if there is an existence that can ignore these and love us unconditionally, as if the missing piece was completely filled in, as if we had never lacked anything.
If there is such a god, people can truly experience the feeling of being loved. The conditions are simple, as long as I love her.
——The choice not to love is a kind of faith instead.
It's just that when the moon god fell and the grace of divine light disappeared from the eyes of the believers, they inevitably realized the huge emptiness after love disappeared, just like when Mirana left the forest.
Perhaps only at this time, people will ask themselves:
Fill in the piece I missed, is this really love?
In the Dragon Castle, when Mirana angrily accused Davian that she would only adopt a nonchalant and fearless attitude, playing a dragon slayer, a dragon knight, and not a real person. What she really hated in her heart was actually the moon princess who played the role of the moon princess in the eyes of others, just to pray for a little bit of the moon god's pity for herself.
In the high tower, on the Davian who admitted her fear and weakness in front of her, she couldn't find a piece that could fill her gap. She only saw a person who was as incomplete as herself.
A real person, even if it is broken, will still shine and make my heart fascinated.
This is love.
hero
The world view of DOTA2 itself is very complicated, and almost every hero involves different forces and place names. As one of the few human characters, it is not surprising that Mirana and Davian were chosen as the protagonists. What was unexpected was the way the animation world was designed.
In this worldview, the strength of human heroes is horribly weak. From the beginning of the first episode, a deep sense of powerlessness seeps from the screen.
Davian, known as the dragon knight, was beaten by several bandits with no power to fight back. Princess Mirana, there is no other way but to escape when facing the dragon.
On the other side, there are the almost immortal ancient dragons; literally gods and demons fighting with gods.
I am eagerly waiting for the protagonist to become stronger step by step as in the traditional kingly animation, and finally master the strength that can compete with the legendary creatures and achieve heroic achievements.
but no.
What is even more unacceptable is that there is not even a hero in this world.
Princess Mirana looks strong and capable, but at heart she is a little girl who has not yet reconciled with herself, always thinking of relying on others.
The life of the dragon knight Davian is overwhelmed by hatred, so that he will not hesitate to pass the dragon tooth to the child whose hometown was destroyed by the dragon, and let him join the dragon castle.
Elf Fimlin stole the lotus flower recklessly and provoked a war between the elves and the Moon Temple.
Yueqi Luna used to kill to solve the problem, so that the situation could not be cleaned up in the end.
Even if it is better than the Invoker Karl, after a thousand years, he still cannot let go of his hatred, choose to trade with the devil, and avenge the Moon God who killed his daughter.
In the eyes of the eight great dragons that are the pillars of creation, this world is the world of the dragon race, and humans or other races are just dispensable embellishments.
To be honest, the characters in the animation cannot coincide with the heroic image in my heart-as the mainstay of the team, the dragon knight, the elegant and flexible POM, the chic and exquisite Carl, the later big nuclear luna-but this contrast reminds me, There is no so-called wretched development Jedi comeback, and the problem cannot be solved with money, leveling, and equipment.
This is a real world, far from the fantasy story I was expecting.
In the real world, no one is born a hero who can learn skills, have experience slots, and have equipment slots. Even if they have the skills and strength when they come on stage, they will still hesitate, shrink back, and give up. Weak beings survive in this world dominated by powerful beings, and make mistakes, but they do not stop and complain about themselves because of failure, but continue to move forward in the direction they recognize.
Mirana finally shouldered the burden of the legionnaire and faced the coming war.
Fimling accepted the fact that he killed members of the regiment, and gave up following the rebels for unnecessary revenge.
And Davian, the man who once lost everything and regarded nothing as his hard armor, finally began to accept his new family.
No need to guess, they will have a place in the future battle with Night Dire.
But their heroic road has already started at this moment.
Some minutiae
Here are a few roles that were not mentioned much earlier.
Fimling, as one of the protagonists and responsible for face value, the elf girl's facial lines are obviously softer than Mirana and the eyes are bigger, which should show her younger age. It explains well why she believes in ancient legends, and has to take risks to steal lotus flowers. Teenagers always have a heroic complex, especially those with unusual talents.
But after messing up some things/paying a painful price, the growing protagonist can shoulder a heavier mission, saying that she is the person who is closest to the protagonist of the kingly comics.
The new hero is undoubtedly, after all, Coldwig Elves are a new race. From the technical point of view, there are short-range teleports and clones. He should be an assassin-type close-knit, a new candidate for Gua Sha King (laughs).
Uncle Carden, the pinnacle of human combat power, is determined to avenge the dead Brother Longbao to the Fire Dragon King. The temporary outflow is relatively simple. But considering that the dragon clan is the cornerstone of the entire world, there must be a secret behind the dragon castle, and it will not be a simple dragon disaster victim mutual aid association. It is unknown whether Uncle Carden’s identity has other secrets, but his armor and sword, which are obviously artifact-level, must be tricky.
From the perspective of skills, Uncle Carden’s skills have passive evasion from armor (it is said to be from the ability of Chaos Dragon, perhaps this armor is made by Chaos Dragon), and passive attack from Great Sword (the more the opponent's blood, the higher the damage , Similar to the old version of Feast), there is also a short-distance displacement similar to Void W. However, it is hard to say whether Uncle Carden can be released, after all, this image recognition is not enough.
Luna, indeed, as many Tucao said, the thin-faced Luna in the game became a fierce man in the animation. However, Luna's character was originally a fierce fighter from the wasteland, and it didn't hurt to be the commander of the Darkmoon Legion. Moonblade and Moonlight's animation performance is really absent.
Carl, Carl's character design has subverted my imagination. I always thought that Carl should be the kind of personality that is arrogant and arrogant. After all, the impression of dubbing is too deep. But thinking about it conversely, maybe this is when the proud supplicant finally understands that manpower is sometimes poor after experiencing the pain of bereavement, and this will say: the deceased is no longer to be pursued.
The story of Carl and his daughter Philomena is short, but very moving. Geniuses are often lonely. As one of the strongest magicians who have mastered the art of immortality, the loneliness Carl endured may be far beyond ordinary people's understanding. In the animation, only a few screens are used to outline that the daughter of him and the goddess Ceremone is also a genius. It’s not hard to imagine how ecstatic he was when he received this gift, and finally someone could understand himself—he even thought about how to teach her all his life’s learning and teach her the art of immortality. Every day after that, time will shine brightly. It is not difficult to understand that when a daughter is found to be seriously ill, someone who is as proud as the other will eventually bow to the goddess. However, Philomena not only inherited his wisdom, but also his pride. Although Philomena was young, she knew better that love is not an exchange.
The entire world was also taken away, but Carl is different from Davian because he will never have a new family. The only problem is, after revenge.
Finally, Marcy, not much to say about buying in the whole position.
PS The setting of the Eight Dragon Kings is very interesting. In addition to the Fire Dragon King possessed by Davian and the Storm Dragon King sealed by Carl, there are also the Light/Dark Dragon King with obvious positions, the Wingless Dragon King who resembles Godzilla, and the Big Brother who seems to be the leader. The Chinese Dragon King (surprise).
Objective words are written at the end
As a fan-oriented game adaptation animation, Dragon Blood is undoubtedly qualified: from the complex hero background and vague worldview, a main line is concisely sorted out, so that both fans and newcomers can understand and accept it. The unfolding of the story.
From the action design to the smoothness to the mirror movement, the overall production does not say that the 2D and 3D scene integration is also unobtrusive, and it has completely reached the level of an animated film. Although it is Meiman Manga, it has already incorporated many styles of Japanese Manga, but the style of painting depends on personal aesthetics. In short, I like it very much. (Speaking of the fact that the two giants of streaming media and games have joined forces this time, the ability to pay money is really not covered. The picture is rich to the naked eye, and the fighting scenes are silky smooth, especially the bridge between Mirana Snow Mountain and Fire Dragon. The overall impression is very good. Good. Actually I saw in the comments that the picture is normal???)
The overall plot is not complicated, but it also completed the opening task perfectly. The turbulent era and the opening of the grand chapter are very strong. I sincerely hope that the second season will not be delayed for too long. However, because the theme is foreshadowing, the exciting part is indeed less, and the disadvantages are not without, but I won't talk about it.
Sincerely, a 13-year-old fan, five points.
