Raimundo Pedrosa You Have Owned My Heart For 17 Entire Years

Raimundo Pedrosa you have owned my heart for 17 entire years

In Omi Town, after Omi goes back to the temple, I wonder if Chase was watching via the crow's magic eyes when Omi beat Mr. Bean up "crud style"?

I think he definitely was. The man keeps an eye on everything going on everywhere. Especially when it comes to Omi. After he warned his little would-be apprentice about Bean’s lies, he would be waiting with popcorn in hand to watch the beat-down coming.

At the very least, in the case of Xiaolin Showdown some liberties were taken where exact time periods weren't the most major concern in historical clothing styles so much as making character designs distinct and recognizable in a certain way to a Western audience. So a decent amount of anachronism can be forgivable imo. I think there's actually a production note/script thing floating around that Dashi's outfit was meant to be a reference to a Kung Fu thing. And I think Chase's Good clothes were meant to be evocative of a Tai Chi practitioners clothes, though that one is just my guess.

Here’s my issue with TV studios trying to make content appeal to western audiences, by doing so, they’re kinda looking down on their viewers. I don’t think that children wouldn’t be able to wrap their minds around the idea that people in a certain dynasty or culture dress differently than now. I do appreciate the work the character designers have done on XS, but if they had the funds and freedom to do more extensive research into the history and culture it would have added to the narrative. Plus I just happen to like historical dramas so the idea appeals to me

Actually, on that note, when I watched XS for the first time I thought Wuya’s dress had been ripped as a result of being trapped in the box all those years. That could’ve been a fun twist. We see her in Time After Time and realize just how far she had fallen.

I didn’t know about the Kung Fu/Tai Chi references. That’s a nice touch. Thanks for letting me know.

I guess if you look at Chase, Dashi and Guan side by side, the only one actually wearing a variation of a Shaolin Monk outfit is Guan. Curious that Dashi, despite being a Grandmaster Dragon dresses differently, like he’s not exactly allied to the temple. Neither is Chase, but we know he’s gonna turn his back on the Xiaolin side 🤔

Credit to @weirdwyvern for the original transparents!

I’ve had the mental image of Omi riding one of the tigers beside Chase for a while now! He’s certainly little enough to!

Chase said he would even let Omi “rule the world by his side for all eternity,” so I think he definitely would let Omi do something as small as ride one of his jungle cats if Omi wanted to. Or maybe Chase just picked him up and plopped Omi onto a tiger himself, I could see that happening.

Omi doing the right thing even though he doesn't want to. It's simultaneously adorable and incredibly relatable.

Omi: We must protect the weak. Even if it’s… JACK SPICER.

monks: <facepalm>

Since Wuya and Dashi's hanfu 1500 years ago was too modern for their style and wouldn't have naturally existed at that period in that place, what if those two designed the look themselves and coordinated their styles?

That’s so funny. They come up with the outfits and strut around town like models

And it just … doesn’t catch on until the Ming Dynasty
