Aww they didn't do more than take off the outermost layer, pity.

This actor for Wuxian really has great comedic facial expressions that don't go too far into schtick. Wasn't impressed with him in the opening death flashback, it's the sort of Asian "This is what I think sadness looks like" acting style as opposed to visceral "This is what I know sadness feels like" method acting, but he's got great presence when the scene has a sense of comedy.

Feel free to mute this conversation!

Goddamn, most fictional musically talented warriors take a small drum or flute. This dude sees the clan bat signal and yoinks a whole damn guqing.

This fight is so confusing. So Wuxian is remote controlling the zombies to fight the third zombie...why not control the third zombie too and get them all to off each other? What's the plan here?

Oops, the zombie lady got too close to someone, better stop her! Wait, why do you look surprised that your secret red energy punch worked?

Oh wait, you're surprised by the arrival of mystery dude through the house? ...who then arrives by flying over the house??

Who ok'd this sequence and thought it made sense???

Less impressed by the guqing, the thing's floating in air, Lan Zhan has a cheat.

WTF DID HE JUST VIOLINIST OF HAMELIN AT THE ZOMBIE WITH THE GUQING????

Oh COME ON this dude playing the strings shouldn't need CGI glowlights warping his fingers. Just glow it and make it look like the DDR game that seems to have inspired the aesthetic, less is more with CGI ugh.

Yeah his music is a magical attack a la Hamelin or Symphogears but there must be better ways of depicting the mystical charged energy than 'an intern dragged the warp tool through the clip.'

Awww...puppy dog eyes from Wuxian as he gazes at Lan Zhan while hiding.

Ok, Lan Zhan just vanished the guqing into space storage pocket...I am very much no longer impressed that he grabbed it on the way out to answer the signal between its lack of gravity and the ability to disperse into light motes.

Point of clarity! How can Wuxian tell those are mourning clothes? They look identical to the white robes of the rest of the bat gang.

Onto episode 2! No, the op credits don't get any shorter. Damn, who even does a 2 minute opening and closing for a show these days?

Wait, so Wuxian has left the building. The entire household the body he's possessing is either dead or...scattered? Like what happened to all the maids and guards? They all conveniently vanished at the end of ep 1 but the only one the white lighters noticed pulling a disappearing act was Mo/Wuxian.

NGL lowkey am shipping Wuxian with the nicer of the two Gusu brothers whose names entirely have escaped me.

Because I didn't start commenting until midway through ep1, I'll say it now: that mask is RIDICULOUS. OMG is it made of castiron? Porcelain would break the way it fell before.

LMAO everybody using the tools Wuxian created while calling him Teh_Ebils. It's like a bad 'Avengers abuse Tony Stark' fic.
