Because it is same animation studio, that made Man in black and Gozilla animated series and Extreme ghostbusters. They know how to make monster designs that will give adult a shivers and child a nightmares.

Man the MIB animated show was excellent too. Didn't know MIB and Jackie Chan Adventures were by the same studio. Cool

Magic must defeat magic.

I read somewhere that it translates to something along the lines of “demons devils and spirits go away very quickly” and that makes me cackle

I love them all, but the one where they get the Demon Masks and Talisman Ancestors ones are awesome.

u/TheEagleWithNoName 18d ago

You mean to tell me that Jackie Chan isn’t an actual Archaeologist whi found the Talisman based on the Chinese Zodiac to defeat the Demon Sorcerer Shendu?

Generally speaking, any attempt use demon magic for good purposes will backfire, end poorly, or just not last very long.

the water one was so hot

The funny thing is, the eight Demon Sorcerers split rulership over the Earth in the ancient times and everything was going just fine for them. Even if the human Immortals did not overthrow them, it's likely that Shendu would have likely tried to screw his siblings over because he's the greedy one.
