Odd question, but indulge: does anyone else absolutely love these little dudes?

The Barrier Beasts (?), also called the Sheildos in the American subtitled version, are humorous little bastards under the direction of Taiyi Zhenren.

I usually don't like the "funny little things just there for comedy" characters (such as the Minions for example), but the thing that separates the Sheildos, I noticed, is their capability.

I'd compare them to Pain and Panic from D*sney's Hercules.

Two comedic little assistants to a main character, but they are CAPABLE.

The Sheildos have proven time and again of their usefulness, from their loyalty to Taiyi to their devotion to the protection of Chengtaang Pass, even being powerful enough to keep Shen Gongbao from harming the heroes and actually managing to give the Roots Maxima Dragon some pushback even for a second, powerful as it is.

They are not only funny but useful - they PROVE THEIR REASON FOR EXISTING. They don't exist just for laughs. They are in the narrative to show that there are capable creatures protecting the Pass, as well as to demonstrate the power of any antagonists who manage to shatter their magic.

It helps that their designs are so peak.

I love these little guys. Some of my favorites.

After my 5th theater watch, I am honestly, fully, and completely convinced Jiaozi's film "Ne Zha 2" is a required watch for everyone - if the world stopped being scared of animation outside their countries and quit cringing in fear of subtitles, animated cinema would be rescued from The Mouse.

hey. Just another dumb American falling head over heels for an animated film i never heard of and didn't expect to change my life and reignite my faith in the animation industry.

Seriously. These films are amazing. I hope to be active here.
