Everyone seems to have their own concerns and criticisms.
For me Ryo confronting Lan Di is not an issue and I actually think it's a great idea. I even enjoyed the fight despite some saying it is too short.
My main problems are:
- Those 3 awkward martial artists. Just why? The one who sounds like a turkey is just really ridiculous and that sort of thing really does not belong in the final scene at that moment.
- Ryo's 'Why are we even friends?' line. Really now? He's standing 6 feet away from LAN DI, and he's making lame jokes with equally lame delivery like that? It completely ruins any sense of the unreasonable passion Ryo should be harboring there and then. In fact he should be stoic, seeing red and staring at Lan Di throughout.
- Ryo ruinning away from Lan Di. Yes, he was clearly outmatched, but in my view the whole point is that Ryo has still yet to learn that pursuing Lan Di is the wrong thing to do. Ryo is still beyond reasoning with which is why he will not give up chasing Lan Di. So how could they have avoided this? In my view, they should have had the flames around them cause part of the ceiling to crash down between Ryo/Ren and Lan Di so they were forced to be separated. That way Ryo would have to accept he needs to leave. The way it actually ended is not right, as the Ryo I have come to know would regardless of his injuries still get up and run at Lan Di. He is beyond all reason and full of unadulterated hatred in that moment. Ren couldn't just make him leave so easily.
