In fact, my favorite in this series is the white peacock. According to our current point of view, it is a creative invention to upgrade the application of gunpowder from fireworks to cannons, and directly enter the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons! ! ! ! However, it was only because of a prophecy, but because the parents of the peacock were afraid of this powerful force, so they were so afraid of their son that they expelled their son. . . . . This is shrimp logic! ! ! ! Shouldn't he praise his son for his ingenuity and teach him that weapons are double-edged swords and should be used with care? ! ! !
White Peacock is not only a genius of invention, but also has foresight in politics. Knowing that the danger must be nipped in the bud, he will kill the panda first. Nai He's methods were indeed not clever enough, and he did it too obviously, so he was caught by his parents and then expelled. From the perspective of modern people, of course, we do not agree with the bloody practice of genocide, but looking at the feudal rulers in history, which throne has no bones under it. And if there is no bullshit prophecy, as for the white peacock to fight the panda?
The result is even more ironic. First of all, the white peacock who is going to use a hot weapon to unify the Central Plains has become the villain - well, because in the story, the gentleman's character has been shaped into a bit of BT in addition to his bloody background, so everyone may feel that due to The extermination of the clan is the first, and the lie to attack the panda is the last, and should be punished - but isn't the unification of the world a clear indicator of basically all the Mingjun comments in our history books? Isn't the white peacock that led the Central Plains into the era of hot weapons and unification not worthy of our thinking and admiration? Of course, the degree of domination of the world and the use of military force must be grasped, but it is heartbreaking to make White Peacock a complete villain in such a way.
More ironically, because the panda Bao realized the power of Tai Chi, the cannon and the strong ship were defeated - this reminds us of modern history after 1840, how bloody the history tells us, even if we have The White Lotus Sect, the Boxer Regiment, and Taijiquan, aren't the gates of China still being blown open by the cannons? So, does the story itself cast a beautiful canvas on the bleak history of the Chinese people, or does it satirize the pride that China has always been proud of in the age of cold weapons?
But the anime itself may just be funny, so it's probably just me thinking too much. However, I really feel that the white peacock that is smart, inventive, gifted and far-sighted is not worth it. Being expelled by my parents is miserable enough. After more than ten years of hard work, I finally made a comeback, but was defeated by the panda with golden fingers . pitful. . . .
I don't know to what extent the image of the Peacock Prince will be smeared in the next few films. Before he completely becomes a super evil villain, I want to have a positive image for him. This child could have grown into a generation of excellent leaders and led the people. The development and progress across the ages were carried out, but were distorted by a prophecy.
So in fact, the plot of Panda 2 can be summed up in one sentence. This is a tragedy caused by a prophecy. . . .
