Ne Zha 2, also called Ne Zha: The Rise of the Demon Child, is a Chinese animated fantasy adventure film centered around the protagonist's dilemma of fulfilling the expectations of the gods or pursuing his desire to forge his own path. It's one of those rare sequels that surpass expectations by being more action-packed and performing better than the first part.
Since its release, Ne Zha 2 has become the fifth-highest-grossing movie of all time. Recently surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it has captured widespread attention and made headlines worldwide. While The Force Awakens earned $2.071 billion, Ne Zha 2 has already grossed over $2.085 billion.
Hilarious internet reactions
Rest assured, fans had some interesting things to say, with some comments sure to crack you up.
"Never heard of it," a user said.
This user sarcastically mentions they’ve never heard of the movie, but let's be honest, whether you've seen it or not, Ne Zha 2 is hard to ignore at this point. Even if you truly haven’t heard of it until now, well, now you certainly have. With its record-breaking success, it’s practically impossible to stay in the dark about it!
"China has over 2 billion ppl even if 1% of the population watch a movie it will make a world record," pointed another.
If you're in a highly populated country, you're naturally going to have more viewers, and this user humorously highlights that fact. Putting aside the creative reasons behind Ne Zha 2 breaking records, the math is undeniably in its favor. It's like saying, 'The larger the crowd, the louder the applause.'

Looks like this person is a Star Wars fan who didn't receive The Force Awakens positively, and they seem pleased by the fact that Ne Zha 2 has now outgrossed it.
"TFA to NZ2 is like a day-old hot dog to a Vegas buffet," a user wrote.
Another user, clearly not a fan of The Force Awakens, says that comparing it to Ne Zha 2 is like comparing a day-old hot dog to a Vegas buffet. This clever comparison puts things into perspective for anyone still on the fence about whether or not to watch Ne Zha 2.
"Ne Zha really said 'The Force is mid'," joked another.
Trending
The Force isn’t awakened, it’s 'mid' - at least that’s what this user believes. It’s a playful jab at The Force Awakens, especially since we’re clearly living in a world where Ne Zha 2 seems to be the all-time dominating force instead.
The makers of Ne Zha 2 must be having a gala time after surpassing the earnings of a mammoth like The Force Awakens, which now begs the question: How and where can the rest of us watch it ASAP?
