I love wuxia and xianxia novels. Extreme violence but formal speech patterns. Everyone is so politely bitchy. I’m sure it’s even better in the original translation.

“This humble one anticipates learning from this renowned master at a later date” = bitch next time I see you I’m going to fully kick your ass.

“Pray this master may instruct me?” = I am starting a non-optional fistfight in the middle of this inn, no I don’t care that you’re halfway through a meal.

“This humble one praises the ancestors of your venerable self for their wisdom and prays it falls to you” = you’re dumb as hell

me watching western action films: the character survived being shot and driving their car off a cliff? pfft. so over the top and unbelievable.

me watching wuxia/xianxia characters survive being stabbed in the guts and then summon a giant demon sword from the sky and make it fall along with a rain of a thousand other swords upon their enemies: absolute cinema 🚬
