Shi Qiang's assistant on the true adaptation (the Chinese series), is a female character that is smart and strong without having to give her super-powers so the modern audience can indulge in their delusions.
Adaptations should stick to the source material, not bend over backwards to appease the culture war zealots.

- pelagicAustral 3y agoRead the books, watch the shows, post a comment. That should be your character arc.
- refulgentis 3y agoOkay lets say I'm like the other commenters, read it, and still don't know. How can I check in with you again on what the superpowers are?

- yau8edq12i 3y agoSuperpowers? Delusions? What are you talking about? I literally just watched the show (and read the book a few years ago). I cannot tell what you are referring to. Everything that happens in the show, happened in the book too, as far as I can tell.
