"Tiger Crane Demon Master": The logical closed loop and the struggle of perception under the appearance of light comedy
"Tiger Crane Demon Master" is a work with fantasy, suspense, and juvenile blood as the theme, hoping to build a fascinating and imaginative story world under these elements. However, when watching it, the audience found that the show had some problems in showing fantasy elements and logical closed loops, making people feel that the logic was rough, the character traits were fragmented, and the story was too routine. This article will delve into these issues and analyze what causes perception distress.
First of all, the performance of the characters in the play was praised to a certain extent.
The protagonist Jiang Long is loved by the audience with his cute and likable character. Although his comedic performance is conventional, his acting skills make these regular elements seem unobtrusive and likable. The light comedy bridge, including the introduction of the board brick and the bloody action of the young squad, also adds vitality and interest to the story. However, these highlights seem to be constrained by the main plot, making the audience hesitate repeatedly between comedy and routine, a bit like "chicken ribs".
In terms of fantasy themes, the article mentions the shortcomings of "Tiger Crane Demon Master". Although there are various yokai, monsters, and monster-catching plots in the story, these elements fail to create a compelling look.
The appearance and name of the yokai seem too ordinary and lack a sense of fantasy. The article argues that good fantasy should provide fascinating spectacle, but the show is too conservative in this regard. The audience expected to see amazing sights in a fantasy world, and the play failed to deliver on that expectation.
In addition, the logical closed loop in the story has also been criticized. For example, in a plot chasing a monster, the protagonist and his gang failed to catch the monster Lao Zhang, but then the plot underwent an unnatural "blood reversal", which made the audience feel far-fetched. The character's behavior and emotions seem inconsistent, and the character traits appear incoherent.
In addition, the switch between the light comedy of the story and the "normal" plot also makes the logic feel challenged. In light comedy plots, logic is not important, but in "normal" plots, logic should be more rigorous. However, the play fails to strike a balance between these two emotions, which troubles the audience.
Finally, the article mentions the routine performance of some characters, which also makes the audience feel bored. Some villains, such as Sister Yanran and Yimei, are presented in distinctly evil images that lack depth and complexity. In addition, although the setting of one body and two souls is common, the performance in the play is too blunt and superficial, and fails to fully explore the potential emotional conflict.
In general, "Tiger Crane Demon Master" has some problems in the performance of fantasy elements, logical closed loops and character building, which cause the audience to feel confused and dissatisfied when watching. Although there are some highlights in the play, such as comedy bridges and juvenile blood plots, these highlights are subject to the routines and shortcomings of the main plot. In the end, the show failed to fully realize its potential, leaving viewers questioning its quality. In future productions, you can try to improve the creativity of fantasy elements, strengthen the logical closed loop, and deepen the characteristics of the characters to provide a more engaging look.
