Good luck with it. In its opening weekend, it only made to the 4th position,

One week later, it has gone down to #7

Who the hell thought that trying to sell to Chinese woke movies set in China was a good idea? If China started to make westerns drenched in Chinese moral values, who'd think that'd sell well in US?

reply

What a clueless buffoon you truly are. This film was inspired by Southeast Asian culture, not Chinese culture.

reply

Dude, cultures and countries don't always fit exactly. The Cantonese area and surroundings in China could be considered part of South East Asia. There's lots of influences between countries at the south of China and the south of China itself.

The production team specifically focused on countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and so on. They didn't take South China into a consideration - like, at all.

And seriously, what about this film was even pandering to China? Are you sure you're not confusing this with 'Mulan'?

So what? That's like saying that Germans wouldn't feel identified with a setting because the team specially focused in Austria and didn't take Germany into a consideration - like, at all. Well, if you say so 😃.

reply

That logic sounds like it's coming from someone who regularly watches Friedberg/Seltzer travesties. Germany and Austria literally speak the very same language and come from a very similar cultural background. Southeast Asian countries speak very different languages from each other AND come from a very different cultural background that is not even related to China, except for Vietnam, which is culturally closer to East Asia than Southeast Asia to begin with.

reply

Willfully missing the point.

reply

Missing what point? This person is saying things that aren't even remotely true.

If this is what Disney came up to appease the Chinese market then they're total idiots. There is nothing China about this movie. It's a hodge podge of wide-range Asian cultures spanning a vast continent and multiple archipelagos mixed together. It doesn't make any sense.

It's like a Chinese made a movie for the Americans by mixing cowboys, Cubans and Vikings and Aztec imageries plus Romans characters, featuring Ancient Greek Phantheons with Jamaican reggae music.

Actually, that's quite usual in anime. You have medieval settings and castles mixed with French baroque palaces, post-industrial revolution dresses, Asian shrines, American pioneers wagons and so. It doesn't make any sense, but it's kinda fun.

Of course, they're not trying to pander western audiences or "trying to be inclusive" or any similar bullshit. That case, it's a local product aimed to local people.

reply

I thought it was focused specifically on Southeast Asia, not the whole continent.

reply

It is. China has nothing to do with this film - like, at all.

reply

Yes it's obviously aimed at africans.

reply

What kind of rebuttal is this?

reply

disney thinks all Asians are Chinese.

reply

Umm... what?

reply

>Movie set anywhere in Asia
>WAAAAAAAAAAAH STOP PANDERING TO CHINA

Why are people so retarded?

reply

Like, are they going to pull off that BS if Pixar or Disney makes a film about Korea or Japan?

reply

I've honestly lost all interest in Disney animated features.

reply

Then you are not their target audience.

reply

No, they definitely try to target me, they just keep missing.

reply

What do Chinese have to do with this? These ar e all SE Asian cultures.

reply

Disney thinks SE Asia is China that's why.

Ironically China thinks SE Asia is China too 🤣🤣🤣💣🚀🚀🚀🚢🛫

reply

Your last sentence sucks but unfortunately, true. SE Asians hate China because of that, trying to claim territories that aren't theirs.

reply

If that's actually true, then we would've seen some China-influenced elements in this film, but we didn't, maybe except for Vietnamese cultural aspects since that country is culturally closer to China, South Korea, and Japan than its neighboring Southeast Asian countries.

reply

Magic dragons have no place in Chinese folklore or mythology 👍.

Bonus points for an affinity to water which is DEFINITELY NOT something traditionally part of Chinese mythology regarding dragons either.

reply

So just because they share some cultural similarities, it's inspired by Chinese culture? Do you not realize how retarded you sound right now?

reply

Why is it a problem if there are Chinese influences in this film for you? Are you anti Chinese or something?

reply

Your attempt to move a goalpost has failed - dismally. You said that this film was pandering to China and when I told you why that's false, you're resulting to this kind of question.

reply

But it's not false?

You think Disney doesn't value Chinese customers or something?

reply

LOL.
