Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Runnen said:

And how is that related to you thinking Shang-Chi is a good movie or bad? Is a movie bad because it was made with/for China? Is it good because it was made AGAINST China's wishes?

What the fuck does all this have to do with whether the movie was fun, entertaining, bad, etc?

it has everything to do with it when they cater to their ideology.

does shang chi have much or anything to do with Marvel phase 4, or is pretty much an independent "its nice, but not important" movie like Black Widow?

Without going into spoilers, it's a self-contained story but the very end (mid-credits scene) brings in some information that will likely thicken the plot down the road.

You're just regurgitating your redpill dinner, that's not an explaination. Explain to me how your enjoyment about martial arts scenes, scenery, acting, humor is dependent on China's politics for this film or other films filmed with a release in China in mind?

Apparently the main dude who plays Shang-Chi is also considered supremely ugly by China's standards, so I guess that's two for two. At least Michelle Yeoh is still pretty good-looking at her age.

if my enjoyment is through manipulation and propaganda, sure whatever floats your boat. Triumph of The Will was very entertaining too

Speak for yourself.

the success of a movie is entirely dependent on china movie ticket sales

This has nothing really to do with this movie, but I wonder how true that actually is, other than being able to say "MOVIE GROSSED OVER A BILLION DOLLARS". The reason we still track US and Worldwide gross is the US studios get tremendously more per ticket from those sale, I wouldn't be surprised if they saw less than 5 or 10 cents on the dollar from a China ticket sale, anyway (whereas I think they start at almost 60 to 75 cents on the dollar for a disney release opening weekend here in the states).

I think Fast and Furious 9 was the last western movie to open in China, and it had nothing to do with ideology or any of that shit, it had to do with the fact that a major investor in the movie is a Chinese production company. Disney could have all their movies open in China today if they agreed to split the profits with Tencent Pictures of China Film Group or Huayi Brothers.

On the title topic, I will reiterate this movie is good and you should see it, it itself does not tie into the greater MCU until the midcredits scene, other than the Wong and Abom cameo that was in the trailer.

This is the movie thread. How dare you talk about movie ticket sales, movie distribution areas, movie editing to appease certain countries' government restrictions and some countries stealing the IP of the movie and selling knock off copies that negatively impact sales of the movie?
GTFO!!!

we are only allowed to talk about if it was fun to watch according to Runnen. everything else is off limits because that's "red pill dinner" stuff.

I saw this today and I did enjoy the movie for what it was. But looking back, the movie itself was a cross between 3 Ninja's & Crazy Rich Asians. A lot of the cast was the same. Aquafena was the best friend, much like she was in CRA. The Aunt was the mom in CRA too. The fight scenes were entertaining. I enjoyed the movie. One of my favorite lines is how the 6 cities in the other dimension are way more advanced than anything found in this dimension. So Wakanda is no longer #1. Good.

EDIT: I also filmed the close of the movie. No fights or anything, but the aftermath + both after credits scenes. Feel free to watch.
Video doesn't work yet. Processing, but it should be live shortly if anyone wants to watch.

this was cited as the main reason the Chinese people rejected positive word of mouth for this movie.

awkwafina was seen as an insult to traditional chinese beauty. they said it lacks all respect.

Also, I don't think the BMW in Shang-Chi was the X3 that they're talking about. It was a car because the water bottle wanted to race it.
EDIT: Oh, nevermind. The X3 was the sword hand guy's car that they stole. It had so many stickers on the outside that I didn't realize it was even BMW.
That red sports car in the beginning, though... Beautiful.

Yeah, I'm sure my hair was the least of your worries when viewing my posts

Runnen said:

It has nothing to do with the actual movie, only the perceived politics surrounding it. Y'all see everything through your goddamn redpilled prism and it's so pathetic. The Movie House is meant to be the place to talk about what you thought of the trailers at first and then the movies, not to show how much you furiously masturbate to the future war with China.

Oh and obligatory insult I guess, you cunt.

Meanwhile you've derailed this thread more than it already was with your complaints about it. Well done?
