Wait my heart hurts, Wei Yings story is a bittersweet one , he got hurt a lot but never gave up and his relationship with Lan Zhan is so beautiful and I love how Lan Zhan was always being there for him even when the world turned its back. By far my most loved ship is these two, like nothing can top them.
@@thisiszof I think it fits more if it's the opening for act 1 since MDZS started with slandering Wei Ying and it's same in the Wicked and then explains the backstory of both characters.
HI HELLO THIS IS PERFECT AND GORGEOUS- WHEN WEI YING CLUTCHED HIS STOMACH ON THE “something has changed within me” TO EMPHASISE ON HOW HE DIDNT HAVE HIS GOLDEN CORE ANYMORE? THE ENDING? HOW YOU SET UP THE FACT THAT LAN ZHAN WAS ALWAYS THERE TO CATCH WEI YING AND THE ONLY THING THAT TORE THEM APART IN THE END WAS JC-I AM GUTTED THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL BYE
After seeing wicked live and having 3 versions of mdzs under my belt, the parallels between the stories are numerous, and you captured them perfectly. lwj in the moment he tries to calm wwx down in nightless city embodies "can't i make youu understand, you're having delusions of gradure"
This actually made me tear up- I’ve always imagined this song for wwx’s situation and you executed it so well! Ahhh I’m in love with your art style its so expressive!
I had actually thought of this song during the rain scene of The Untamed - that it would have been appropriate if Wei Wuxian had started singing it then. The way you used it here is perfect - this mix of donghua and drama scenes and motifs works perfectly.
I just want you to know that you made one of my wish come true: Defying gravity is perfect for Wei Wuxian, and your animation is beautiful and on point, I loved especially the part were Wwx and Lwj were singing together! THANK YOU!
OMG! At 04:48 I just started crying with the images and the line "Everyone deserves the chance to fly". Just thinking of what happened to them made tear up ;^; but great job! You really captured both the essence of both MDZS/CQL and of the song! Keep up the good work! I hope to see more animatics from you!
It fits perfectly! How did I not think of this. And the characterizations. And the falling and catching. "Look at her, she's wicked!" Chills. Sooo good!
Hi! This animatic introduced me to Wicked and immediately made me fall in love with it, which then spiralled into me going to the UK just to see it live, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU 😭The whole musical fits MDZS so well!
I didnt realize this was specifically The Untamed until the end scene 😬 I still haven't continued the drama version bc all the changes from the novel and donghua rub me the wrong way x'D This is an amazing animation though! I thoroughly enjoyed it (and the feels 😭)!
Ah, sorry! I did put it in the title! ;_; I was going to mix and match canons but ended up leaning way more cql in the end to keep the through line of some imagery and match w lyrics etc. I'm glad you liked it regardless, though!
@@stardustinjune Ah no that's okay! I'm just special and forgot what CQL meant (aka the drama ahaha). It was wonderful though (& tbf, the drama starts with that last scene anyway so I already knew about it 😂 that's how I was able to connect them, and they really did flow seamlessly! This was a great idea :D)!
I was NOT ready for this it had not crossed my mind but oh god its perfect and it hurts and i love it and all the feels you hit me with just perfection!
this was the only song i knew from wicked for YEARS and now with this context, i will never, ever be able to picture anything else to go along with it. this is BEAUTIFUL, and you REALLLLLLY made the feelings for each lyric match so well and give off the mood!!! thank you for your lovely work and sharing it!
I've been rewatching for the best of the past hour and i'm just astounded by your musicality!! Every key shift is represented in the visuals, like from rythme/pacing to notes, everything is utilised as best you can with the visual be it frame shifts, movement etc... your work is actually insane. Like it's so good wth
Why RUclips is showing me this after 15 hours! This is amazing!! The flashbacks, lil A-Yuan, LWJ’s blushes! All of it is perfect! And the ending oh my heart! Thank you for sharing this!
This is probably the most stunning thing I’ve seen, the emotions it brings me are beyond words. I grew up with wicked, and recently got into mxtx and the two combined work so well that you could rewrite the story a bit but keep all the songs and call it mdzs the musicale.
Saw this on tumblr and had to give it a watch here too. Blown away by how well you made the song lyrics fit for character actions and flashbacks. Your style is gorgeous and I’ll be crying over this forever
Oh my goodness this is EXCELLENT, I’m screaming!!! The contrast between the final lyrics and Wei Ying losing control and then the cliff-the perfect gut punch!!
okay I've been watching a lot of MDZS animatics tonight and this one by far is the most energetic and thought out one I've seen so far. It was a lot of fun and I was singing along and totally eating up the scene X3 well done!! Loved every moment of it!!
I have seen this about a hundred million times since it was first posted and i think i only just now realized that when he says "something has changed with in me", he's specifically talking about his lack of a golden core. i'm not the brightest knife in the cupboard, guys.
I never knew how many comments 86 comments could be to like through. But I don't know how to put my love for this into words, and the pain I felt, so the next best option was to approve of everyone else's words (except for one or two maybe). Seriously, this breaks my heart every time. And being able to do that - you're truly great at this.
hey.....just wanna let u know...i think about this daily and I always think of this whenever I hear this song too and I get chills all the time. it fits them so perfectly lol
Dear God this works so well!!!!! And like the symbolism and motifs are really well done! And Wangxian + A-Yuan's relationship was so cute! And ti was just SO GOOD AND WELL EXECUTED!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHH You are truly a genius for thinking of this...... wow..
THIS IS SO GORGEOUS AND WELL PUT TOGETHER AND FITTING AND THE ART STYLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS- JUST GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗❤️❤️❤️❤️💗❤️💗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗❤️💗❤️❤️❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️❤️❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗💗❤️💗❤️
Oooooooooooooh no, this is too gooooood!!!! Fantastic art and rythm to the whole animatic, it really had a grand feel to the whole thing. It made me feel sad all over again and now I'm having FEELINGS. so many of Elphaba's songs fit Wei Wuxian.... I kind of wanna made something with No Good Deed now but aaaaah, animatics take me ages. Still, wonderful video, I almost cried
This animatic is sooooo good! I loved every bit of it. It was so long, it must have taken a lot of work, but the quality was super consistent! Thank you for sharing this :)
HOLY SHIT where do I even start? The way you utilised this usually uplifting song and twist it to have different meaning with your visuals of mdzs is straight up fucking AMAZING like holy shit holy shit the bring me down at the end had my jaw dropping its INSANE how well this animation is made you are INSANE (honourific)
So I discovered this whole storyline literally an hour ago through another animatic--this looks so flipping cool! I love the way you drew the characters and your dedication to the animation! Though I do have a question--what is this? XD I tried googling it and I got sent to a Wikipedia that just confused me, is this an anime? Or a manga? I can't tell. Does anyone mind catching me up a bit? This storyline looks so amazingly cool, I want in XD XD
Thank you!! So, the reason you're confused is the story has been adapted into multiple mediums. It was originally a novel, and has been adapted to comic/manhua, animation/donghua, live action drama (The Untamed/CQL), etc. Each adaption has it's quirks, and this animatic follows The Untamed/CQL more than not. I started with the drama since it's on Netflix and I was curious, and that led me to the rest. The manhua and donghua are in progress, so thus more difficult to get the full story, but beautiful. The drama is complete but some story beats were changed to align with broadcasting standards, ex: the relationship between the leads not being allowed to be explicit. Any way you go - if you're new to the genre, finding a primer can help bc they don't slow down to explain genre conventions, etc! I gotta know- what was the other MDZS animatic? There's so many good ones ;_;
@@stardustinjune Thank you so much! This was seriously informational, and I really wanna see what this is, it looks so cool! And the other animatic was "Monster" by Ho Ching Kwok on RUclips. I was listening to a musical song and then it popped up in the related recommended, if you haven't seen it yet, I so recommend it--and I don't even know what's going on yet! XD. Thank you so much for letting me know!!! Have a wonderful day or night!
I love how literally Lan Zhan is there catching Wei Ying every time he falls
Until the last bit... ;-;
A-Yuan watching his parents argue like: :0
😂😂😂😂
With that pretty ribbon WWX gives me disney princess vibes and i love it
You can't hit me with "Something has changed within me" like that! How dare you set up a motif of falling and catching! Why does this work so well?
The "something has changed with in me" was about him giving up his golden core, yes?
I've been reading too many wattpad novels because first thought was pregnancy even though I knew it wasn't that
@@ahsoka8938 Yep.
WWX and LWJ their relationship really shows in the song
Wait my heart hurts, Wei Yings story is a bittersweet one , he got hurt a lot but never gave up and his relationship with Lan Zhan is so beautiful and I love how Lan Zhan was always being there for him even when the world turned its back.

ALAN ZHAN
LMFAO ALAN ZHAN
and i totally agree with you
If MDZ is turned to a Musical, this could be the perfect finish for ACT 1
and then act 2 starts with no one mourns the wicked
@@thisiszof I think it fits more if it's the opening for act 1 since MDZS started with slandering Wei Ying and it's same in the Wicked and then explains the backstory of both characters.
@@coldhearted3405 yesssss
@@coldhearted3405 Act 2 should start with some super gay and catchy song xD
@@fangurks Wei Ying singing 'What did I Miss?' after being dead for 13 years ToT

"i cant want it anymore."
yup, im dead
Same 🥲
0:58 that melody actually sounds like Jiang Yanli's character theme. It hurts
damn i didnt notice that :000
good catch!!
This animatic played in my head when I watched the wicked movie
After seeing wicked live and having 3 versions of mdzs under my belt, the parallels between the stories are numerous, and you captured them perfectly. lwj in the moment he tries to calm wwx down in nightless city embodies "can't i make youu understand, you're having delusions of gradure"
"No wizard that there is..." *pans from JC to Yanli * "...or was"
Excuse me while I cry my eyes out...
No wizard that there is or was- oh GOD THESE TEARS WILL NOT STOP.
HOW DARE YOU MAKE THIS SO BEAUTIFUL
4:19 AAAAAAAA THAT CQL REFERENCE
This is so good aH!! I can’t believe that I missed the parallels between Elphaba and WWX but this is literally his story.
Ikr, he’s like Elphaba with Glinda’s personality lol. And then Lan Zhan is Glinda with Elphaba’s personality :P
This actually made me tear up- I’ve always imagined this song for wwx’s situation and you executed it so well! Ahhh I’m in love with your art style its so expressive!

You really captured both the essence of both MDZS/CQL and of the song! Keep up the good work! I hope to see more animatics from you!
WWX giving major princess vibes with his pretty little bow
When he said “I cant want it anymore” it focused on A-Yuan. HE CANT WANT IT BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN HURTING A-YUAN. 😭😭😭
I feel like this heavily fits JC and WWX's whole dynamic perfectly as well. You did such a masterful job with this animatic!
It fits perfectly! How did I not think of this. And the characterizations. And the falling and catching. "Look at her, she's wicked!" Chills. Sooo good!
Hi! This animatic introduced me to Wicked and immediately made me fall in love with it, which then spiralled into me going to the UK just to see it live, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU 😭The whole musical fits MDZS so well!
I love the way you depict wei wuxian's obliviousness to Lan Zhan's thought process.

I’ve watched this multiple times a day, everyday, for the past week.
The past of the wangxian is described perfect in this song
me at 00:35 ... "NOW KISS!"

I AM SOBBING- so glad I was not alone thinking this song fit perfectly for them. Great animatic! Keep it up :)
My stupid ass thought Wei Ying is pregnant at "smth has changed within me" and then I remembered the core thing
Oh my goodness this is EXCELLENT, I’m screaming!!! The contrast between the final lyrics and Wei Ying losing control and then the cliff-the perfect gut punch!!

Wow that's amazing. You really encapsulated and matched the emotions of the song and story with your scenes!
That was the most painful but beautiful minutes of my life.
Because of the song, I kind of did not expect it to turn out so good. But it slays. Awesome job!
This is so good! My favorite animatic by far! Great job! Watching this again
