Anyway, I'm still not sure if legit or faked!

If you think the J-36 looks ugly, have you seen the PLA next generation main battle tank?

It does looked fake, after burner flame look static, video was too short, and lastly the extension of the wing tip flaps in "Air Brake" configuration is normally applies in landing, not take off (check A-6 Intruder landing with air brake).

Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Chengdu.

Hunchback of NoChengdu. The “No” is for the people crying in protest.

If the J-36 is Quasimodo, then is the J-XS Esmeralda?

Spoiler he doesn’t get the girl. Besides why are we comparing it to a gentle ugly this thing is an instrument of violence (both on the eyes and in the battlefield).

I don't mind the hump, I just wish the air inlet is angled backward like this, as compared to what we are seeing nowView attachment 147988

That is probably never going to happen. The forwardness of the inlet tip is part of how DSI works.
