#jackie chan adventures
I never watched Jackie Chan Adventures when it aired on TV, but I did watch all of it when it was on Netflix. It was a good show, although the villains weren’t very consistent. Also, this is some hecking good art, it actually makes these villains look competent.

In regard to my previous post about Jackie Chan Adventures and The Medallion starring Jackie Chan. I made a remark about both of them having “circular dragon imagery” referring to Shendu in statue form and the titular medallion in The Medallion. Thing is, I hadn’t looked very closely at the medallion and just assumed that the two snakey things on it were Chinese dragons simply because dragons have long been the only Asian mythological creature you ever see in American pop culture. But after closer inspection I see it’s actually a snake and a fish. A very weird snakey fish.
It’s such an odd combination of animals that I have to wonder if there’s any deeper cultural significance to them. Not that I totally expect there to be anything. I wouldn’t usually expect cultural deep cuts from a 2003 movie. Heck, even a lot of the cultural references in Jackie Chan Adventures are bad. Like the Chinese vampire that glides instead of hops for example. I like to think that jiangshi have become popular enough in games and such that that’s fairly obviously wrong.
However, while I don’t know much about the production of Jackie Chan Adventures I do know that two of the three writers on The Medallion were Chinese so it seems possible that they might have injected some Chinese culture into the movie that wouldn’t have occurred to a typical American writer… like anything other than a dragon.
There might be some clues in the movie but it isn’t streaming anywhere and I just KNOW as soon as I pay money to watch it it’s going to become available to me for free (legally. Which is the only way I’ll watch it). And I’ve just recently spent a lot of coin on MP3s after deleting my Spotify so I don’t know if I want to spend more coin on a possibly not very good movie.
Ah- While we’re on the topic of coin, might as well bring up my Ko-fi. I’ll do a doodle on a post-it for you for just $3. And of course I’d be happy to watch the movie if someone specifically paid me to do it. But I’ll need at least $4 to cover renting it. Maybe a little more if you specifically want me to write about it or something. Hell! I’ll even review cultural references in Jackie Chan Adventures if you pay me for it. Though I can’t guarantee it’ll be that thorough or entirely accurate. Oh! And I also sell vinyl stickers that apparently no one wants.
I’m kinda pissed that I didn’t know Julian Sands played the villian in The Medallion. I remember seeing a Jackie Chan Adventures fan site mistake it for a JCA movie adaptation and at the time all I thought was “Well that’s a dumb assumption. Just because it has Jackie Chan and circular golden dragon imagery doesn’t make it an adaptation. It doesn’t even make it that similar to the show!” But if I knew it was because Valmont played the villian I would’ve seen it in an instant!

Did I make an angst post for a fic I liked? Yes I did.
Am I going to do it again? … Maybe
Valerie Payne still belongs to ADONOVAN94 on DeviantArt and she’s the one who developed the whole Ultimate Evil AU… Did I mention that she’s the one who wrote “The Vow” for Kung Fu Panda 2 on Fanfiction.Net?
So the first three OCs all belong to ADONOVAN94 (https://www.deviantart.com/adonovan94) on DeviantArt and they’re also known as DONOVAN94 on Fanfiction.Net. Amazing writer. I definitely recommend if you’re a fan of Transformers Beast Wars, Hobbit, Jackie Chan Adventures, and The Inheritance Cycle. Even Dragonheart.
