I liked the 2019 Nezha even though it came across as a bargain-basement Dreamworks movie complete with fart jokes.
(Got a Blu-Ray set of an Investiture of the Gods TV series that allegedly had English subtitles but it doesn't. It's not like Japanese where I have 30% comprehension of the spoken language, I read Chinese better than I can understand it spoken but that's not saying much, I can pick out things like 来来来 (lái lái lái) which means 'come over' but that's about it.)
Nezha 2 still has fart jokes (and a sequence involving a joke about bodily fluids), but the quality of the animation is now top notch.
Yeah, unlike the amazing script quality of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", et. al.
It kind of is the Chinese equivalent of a Marvel movie. No criticism intended though, it does that well. The 2023 Chinese film Chang'an is a better choice if someone is looking for a modern animated Chinese film with some adult depth.
