“Now that competent and talented men like Lord Cao Cao and my nemesis, Zhuge Liang, have passed away, this land would surely be overrun by imbeciles who don’t know how to do things properly and throw all the hard work done by their predecessors down to the crapper” -Sima Yi
Not really. I asked many native Chinese speakers, most of them said the Chinese dub is boring and bland, without showing each character's individualities. in this respect even English dub is doing better than the Chinese one :-(
It might sound good to a non-Chinese speaker, but it sounds kinda corny to me. The biggest problem with the Mandarin dub is that it's mimicking Japanese speech patterns far too closely, as if the voice director just used a 1:1 conversion from the Japanese script. For example, there's too many random pauses where there shouldn't be.
The best part is, the war of eight princes happens BECAUSE Zhao and Shi left behind so many successors, so in a way, they both did and didn't follow his advice Sima Yan DEFINITELY didn't do as his granddad said
Thomas Ma he has his wifey's meat buns btw. Both in that context and in a literal sense lmao. Well, guess like father like son lol, given that Yuanji also have some meat buns lmao.
@@GrindyVine if i remember in actual history, he get executed for the fear of him turning traitor. Part of the fault is zhong hui for manipulating him and trying to bait his troops into a rebellion together with him and jiang wei But that plan totally went backfired and both zhong hui and jiang wei died
@@GrindyVine Zhong hui hated Deng ai, said he was a traioter and sent soldiers to kill him. Zhong hui and Jiang wei were killed before soldiers arrive, but the soldiers still killed Deng ai and his only child. The commander of these soldiers took over Deng ai's general title legally.
He’s after all part of the Xiahou Clan which has Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan serving Cao Cao whose father was originally a member of the Xiahou Clan before his grandfather adopted him into his family, the Cao Clan, since he is a eunuch and he can’t have children of his own.
