- Warehouse 11 continues to make the best absolutely inexplicable warehousing decisons. "A massive hole opened up in the ground so we decided that it would make a great place to just CHUCK STUFF we don't expect anyone to collect! Oh and btw we are also LETTING PEOPLE "STORE" THEMSELVES INSIDE IT
- Wu Sanxing was in the hole FOR THREE YEARS oh my actual god I can't stop laughing at this. Good job he brought a razor in with him!!
- Very much enjoyed Wu Xie and Pangzi being massive jerks at Xue Wu's place. That was very very funny.
- Knowing now that a load of the poisoning plot was censored makes it make far more sense. Although I guess it says a lot about the show that I kind of didn't question it not really making any sense.
- WHERE ARE XIAOGE AND LIU SANG I FEEL BETRAYED
- WHERE ARE THE TOMBS
- I would have preferred Xiao-Bai to be more of a mastermind but I still loved her just walking in and being "lol" at Wu Xie.
- Director Ding's little victory dance was amazing. More villians should do literal victory dances imo.
- I feel we could have had a bit more blood-coughing from Wu Xie. Like, another scene after they escaped from the explosion. That would have been good. (Someone write me a tag or I'll have to do it.)
- Plot for next season: Wu Xie jumps into the inescapable hole Wu Sanxing was in FOR THREE YEARS. I can't wait XD XD XD

Date: 2020-08-13 04:39 pm (UTC)I will never stop cracking up over his AMAZING PLAN to just...mail himself to W11 without any supplies...Wow the search for San-shu would've ended real quick if they just showed Wu Xie his mummified corpse down a hole. "Yeah, he's been there for a couple of decades? Nobody really knows. We figured it was none of our business what the inventory was doing, so..."
Very much enjoyed Wu Xie and Pangzi being massive jerks at Xue Wu's place. That was very very funny.
That was brilliant. I want a fivefold increase in scenes to their theme music where they just fuck shit up as part of their plans.
WHERE ARE XIAOGE AND LIU SANG I FEEL BETRAYED
*gross sobbing* The last episode was only 36 minutes they could have AT LEAST have had a tag with the two of them sipping product placement water or something!!
WHERE ARE THE TOMBS
LOOK THEY HAD A BUNCH OF...mummy cocoons...in an underground warehouse that someone built an exact copy of overground? That's almost a tomb, right? (And how did Dir Ding know that Wu Xie was going to go for the one cocoon that held Xiao Bai WHY WAS SHE IN A COCOON PLEASE I JUST... I just want to know...?? And what was in the other cocoons seriously WTF WAS WITH THE COCOONS.)
- I would have preferred Xiao-Bai to be more of a mastermind but I still loved her just walking in and being "lol" at Wu Xie.
And even after he gets his L14 prize from the woman who aged 50 years in 30 and is going to go turn herself over to the police for hitting a man with a phone (what) she still outranks him!
Director Ding's little victory dance was amazing. More villians should do literal victory dances imo.
He had the best time being a villain! As far as I can tell that was literally his motivation all along: DO VILLAINY. IT'S FUN!
I feel we could have had a bit more blood-coughing from Wu Xie. Like, another scene after they escaped from the explosion. That would have been good. (Someone write me a tag or I'll have to do it.)
I felt we could've had a LOT more. So. You know. *enables*
Wu Xie jumps into the inescapable hole Wu Sanxing was in FOR THREE YEARS. I can't wait XD XD XD
Hopefully he doesn't stay down there for three years.
Okay and: why on EARTH would Piaopiao think Creepy Wu was the guy behind finding Xiao Mei the donor and not Pangzi who's been trying to throw money at her (literally!) every chance he got and has held her as she cried about her daughter and said he'd do anything to save her. WHY. I mean. Why??? (Unless maybe she doesn't want it to be Pangzi because she's feeling guilty about betraying him already and getting proof that he's done all this for her would just wreck her?)
Also...why does the bad guy want Pangzi out of the way through these completely convoluted means when they could just, idk. Poison him? Like. I'm not saying anyone should poison Pangzi! But if you wanted Wu Xie to not have Pangzi around to help him there are easier ways than roping in a hairdresser to try and turn them against each other??
...or maybe I just don't Get villainy and if you're a true villain this makes perfect sense. It's just more satisfying that way?
WHEN WILL XIAOGE RETURN WHEN WILL WE GET IRON TRIANGLE ADVENTURES AGAIN *sob*

Date: 2020-08-13 05:59 pm (UTC)How could I have forgotten about the cocoons?!?! What a stunning plot development those were. And exactly four minutes to administer an antidote! Also Wu Xie was somehow drugged/poisoned when the cocoon opened too but this was just not mentioned? THIS SHOW.
they could have AT LEAST have had a tag with the two of them sipping product placement water or something!!
Yes!! I MISS THEM SO MUCH. (The product placement continued to be hilarious.) Oh, random, but from another episode I liked that Liu Sang was texting with Wu Xie, that was nice :)
I kind of wanted Director Ding's motivation to have been that he was JUST SO ANNOYED BY WU XIE, because it would have been completely justified for him to turn into a villian on account of that. Wu Xie was very annoying.
...I've been thinking more about how I didn't realise how much of a dumbass prat Wu Xie was until the Warehouse arc and I guess it's because the first half of the show was mostly about him having stuff happen to him and reacting. And it was only when he was the one pushing the plot forward that it became obvious how awful (in the best way!) he is.
Although it's not like anyone on this show is any better than he is at planning, so probably I should give him a break!

I have no words. "Stunning" is good. Stunning like a shovel to the face.
Oh, random, but from another episode I liked that Liu Sang was texting with Wu Xie, that was nice :)
From the interface it looks like he was scrolling through Weibo rather than texting! But it means that Wu Xie follows him and other expedition members there and gets some updates that way.

Ahahahahahahahahahahha okay that would be the most amazing decent into villany.
And it was only when he was the one pushing the plot forward that it became obvious how awful (in the best way!) he is.
Yup! When he's being buried alive and fighting shellfish and blind you can excuse the lack of rational thinking and everything, but in this arc...whoops.
Although it's not like anyone on this show is any better than he is at planning, so probably I should give him a break!
"Hey to steal shit from this warehouse we should murder everyone inside and wall them up in our EXACT REPLICA WAREHOUSE that we're somehow going to hastily construct ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL nobody will ever know!"
...that is to say. Yes. Given how absolutely wild this world is, where you can't even go to a random city location without falling into a tomb full of poison and people's motivations are properly bonkers it's no wonder he's just winging it.

Date: 2020-08-14 01:02 pm (UTC)We were discussing this (obviously it was the most important part of this scene to discuss) and concluded that it was the gas in the air and Wu Xie was more vulnerable because of his lung damage.
...So yeah if you need some reason for him to be coughing blood in that tag that you're just going to have to write...
(of course you don't need a reason, this show is its own reason!!)
Although it's not like anyone on this show is any better than he is at planning, so probably I should give him a break!
I think Wu Xie's planning skills are a defense mechanism; in a world that's determined to drive everyone mad anyway, he is going to beat them all to the punch!!

Lighting so many candles for the show to come back fast with Iron Triangling!!!

Date: 2020-08-14 12:04 pm (UTC)DespairMisfit Toysartifacts we don't want to deal with. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. And then San-shu and his buddy mail themselves into it without bringing any supplies! ...which. Well. I can't really be surprised because Wu Xie and Pangzi would totally mail themselves there and forget to bring snacks.Wu Xie and Pangzi screwing with Xue Wu was hilarious -- I don't care what they're doing, as long as they're together doing it. Only they should be with Xiaoge too!! And Liu Sang can come too -- how did they not even jump back to them once in the last episode?? Come on!! ;__;
I am very disappointed that the arc was censored/cut so badly -- not because it might've made more sense, because I don't care about that and have doubts it actually would've anyway; but yes, we could've had more Wu Xie coughing blood!
--I did like how he was being all super-villain arrogant behind the quarantine glass and then when people walked away he'd curl up in pain. I also like that Wu Xie is batshit enough that when he says he's contaminated the warehouse and some of it is real poison, everyone believes him (...well, I don't, he wouldn't just randomly kill people; but still...!)
Director Ding was having such a good time being completely randomly evil! Putting his superior into a cocoon and then poisoning her?!
In conclusion this show is beyond stupid and I love it and don't want to wait for more, give it to me noooooooooow.
