Re: Fangs of Fortune (OP)

(SA) I was super relieved by the ending cause it was way less bleak (or open ended) than I thought it would be! Also excellent fanfic fuel!

Re: Fangs of Fortune (OP)

I finished it last night, and agreed. I'd read spoilers, but honestly, people made it sound much, much worse than it was, as if the ending was so bad that there was no point in watching any of it at all. That was just silly. I have zero regrets, will probably rewatch at some point, and I thought the soundtrack was pretty cool, too. All the character songs are going to stick in my head for ages.

****SPOILER WARNING****





The biggest complaints I heard were that Ying Lei's sacrifice to save Bai Jiu was pointless because Bai Jiu died anyway. I don't feel that way. Ying Lei wasn't an idiot, he knew things were bad and that at best, he was giving Bai Jiu a chance at survival, not an iron-clad guarantee. He chose freely, it was noble and not at all pointless. Bai Jiu's sacrifice was similar - no one else had the info he had about the phoenix ashes, and nobody else was available to do the deed for him. He spent the whole series wishing he were braver, and in the end, he found the courage he needed and saved his friends. That's not pointless. Both sacrifices are heart wrenching, but have narrative value.

As for Zhao Yuanzhou, maybe not everyone understood that he's not DEAD dead, Yichen saved a small piece of his soul. The series already established that this means he can come back after years of cultivation. Still a little open ended, but honestly, still better than a lot of cdrama endings.

Yeah. Ying Lei's sacrifice wasn't pointless at all. Without it, Bai Jiu wouldn't have been able to scatter the ashes and our heroes would have lost. It also gave Bai Jiu the chance to be THE hero. To protect everyone.
Did his death make Ying Lei's death more tragic? Sure. But it's wasn't for nothing.
And sometimes the universe just IS that cruel. It doesn't get all tied up with a pretty little bow. It made sense for the story to me. (Man, I am kinda glad that we didn't see the reactions of his parents tho. Especially his mother should have very complicated feelings)
This definitely wasn't a Feel Good Drama, but it also never tried to tell us that it was.
(Yes, I also have some criticisms, but I enjoyed it too much to ~throw the whole drama away.)

Did you see the lil extra episode? I thought it rounded everything up very nicely and gave another nice dash of hope. I might even be motivated to write some fics.
