Hollywood blockbusters are dumbed down because a more simplistic plot is easier for non-western audiences to understand.
Basically blame China (and Russia).
>>69062139
plain, but also there is a certain style, it has to have time to have subtitles, obviously. so the characters have to be in a certain place at a certain time, but also the plot can't jump around to fast.
everything NEEDS to be drawn out simplistically.
>>69062266
You see this in asian movies because they have to translate for dialects and languages commonly, but also since most movie nab 60% of their money from international sales, it makes sense.... it's not JUST china....
>>69062266
apparently Age of Ultron had a terrible Chinese translation last year and the subtitles were confusing as hell.
amazing that they can make mistakes like that with such a huge movie opening in a market like China
>>69062139
>it's a marvel "reeeeeeeee China" movie
>>69062139
>china pandering
>not china panda-ing
you had one job.
>>69062139
The thing about china is that its cheap as shit to market a movie there. Or it was at least.
Studios get a decent return for minimal investment.
chinks aren't people
this is the highest grossing movie in China's history
>>69062139
>and Russia
You realize Russia is a relatively small market, right?
inb4 buh muh taiga and shit
>>69062298
>this
Neocolonialism by drowning foreign markets in american pop culture
>>69062345
>Studios get a decent return for minimal investment.
>decent return
In absolute numbers, yes. In percentages, no; chink movie distributors, along with the the govt-owned company that helps finance these movies, take a 75% combined cut on all ticket sales.
>minimal investment
True.
>>69062420
russia has a huge demographic problem, but i doubt op is aware of that
it's true for uneducated slavs in general though
>>69062139
This works the other way though. All the Chinese movies you love are made simplistic especially for Western markets.
>>69062139
>Hollywood blockbusters are dumbed down because a more simplistic plot is easier for non-western audiences to understand.
nah that is just what they tell the USA babies. China as a market is the only thing keeping the movies from going full retard
>>69062483
>muh slavs
Uneducated lower classes are shit everywhere.
Also I'm talking about how the Russian population is not that big in the big picture and piracy there is everywhere, so it's not really a good market for ticket sales.
The really fucked thing is that the transition period is now over. There's no more alternate cuts or special scenes filmed for overseas, etc.
All mainstream Hollywood films are not going to be planned from DAY ONE with Chinese audiences in mind so it will be next to impossible to even pinpoint what is being changed or sacrificed. The time of "censorship" is over, there simply will not be another Hollywood blockbuster made that violates any aspect of the Chinese government's strict rulebook so censorship will no longer be required.

>huge demographic problem
why do people keep saying this? responsible breeding is not a problem. there economy is suffering from the sanctions and internal market has been slow to fill the gap, why would more kids be good.
>>69062517
>piracy there is everywhere
>implying
you can't make a good rip without a dvd and dvds don't come out till it has been at least 3 months since the premier
>>69062139
When this China pandering start? I've noticed a massive drop in quality of blockbuster mainstream films for at least 15 years
>>69062573
you make it sound that the demographic adjustment was planned and if it was, i'd agree with you but it isn't
people getting decimated by shit tier healthcare, rampant alcoholism and a depressed economy doesn't mean they have a sustainable demographic policy
>>69062483
still better than in the 90s, famalam
>>69062618
>implying the majority of plebs care about good quality
I'm from an EE country with full blown piracy and the shittiest rips of popular new movies are torrented bya shitload of people.
>implying even if it matters it doesn't completely destroy the market for home media
>>69062512
>China as a market is the only thing keeping the movies from going full retard
>implying chink movies aren't 99% pure retard, thinly-veiled ccp gommie maoist propaganda
>>69062644
When the Chinese had disposable income and permitted more Hollywood films in their theaters. It's disgusting because there's so much bending over backwards for the ChiComs.
China is a shithole, but the biggest threat to freedom of speech are the Muslims.
>>69062728
No one cares
>>69062672
alcoholism comes from shit economy,depressing weather,bad family situations and media endorsements for drink.
>healthcare
don't know much about their healthcare but it seems ok in the capital, as long as you have money
>demographic adjustment
well the incentive seems to be for more breeding since puting gives out money to new families with kids. most of the land is not well tamed so yes they have the territory but not all of it is ready for use
>>69062139
>pandering to China
>still casting blacks
pick one
>>69062672
>a sustainable demographic policy
As long as they don't go all Fallout, "demographic crises" aren't a problem for Russians nor for any other 1st world populace.
hint: technological unemployment is a real thing. World-leading researchers (literally Oxford and Harvard-men and women) have projected that 50% (1/2, half) of all jobs today will be automated in 20 years time.
Average joe is of no use in the future job market, except for as a service sector worker specializing in entertainment or healthcare "with a human touch".
>another thread of capeshit cuck complain about capeshit being funded by china
>>69062794
>depressing weather
This meme needs to die. The majority of the Russians live in a normal Europan climate.
>>69062709
>I'm from an EE country with full blown piracy and the shittiest rips of popular new movies are torrented bya shitload of people.
well if they can watch a TS rip than they deserve it for free. its like torture and if you are willing to go that far to see the plot of the movie (since visuals will be shit) than you deserve it for free.
>implying even if it matters it doesn't completely destroy the market for home media
so what? main money is made in the first few weeks, the second the movie can be seen on tv the money mostly goes to middle men
>>69062825
that is why capitalism is not sustainable,eventually 90% of jobs will be automated
workworkwork
>>69062927
>capitalism is not sustainable
*post-industrial capitalism
>>69062794
alcoholism is a grim reality and it ties with the mediocre healthcare for a devastating result
>it seems ok in the capital, as long as you have money
which a lot of people don't have, especially during an economic downturn
>>69062794
>well the incentive seems to be for more breeding since puting gives out money to new families with kids
those policies take time to have a significant effect and then there's the issue of financing these programs
>>69062825
>will be automated in 20 years time
this is a gross estimate but assuming it's accurate what the fuck are they're going to do in the meantime? 20 years is a long time in terms of demography
>>69062927
Good. Then we'll stop wasting time with meaningless labour and be forced to confront deeper ideological problems within society.
Like why can't waifus be real, and other such issues.
>>69063017
>Like why can't waifus be real, and other such issues.
those are not ideological problems. ideological problems are shit, we need to get rid of Islamist and get to our robot waifus
Can someone tell me why this is bad?
What is being dumbed down?
>>69062973
I don't think there are enough service jobs for all the people and I don't want to be a dog whisperer or whatever neo bullshit people come up with to have a job
>>69062927
>that is why capitalism is not sustainable
Yes, because Commies totally won't prefer robots to people.
>>69063136
nothing
>>69063136
>>69063187
compare Armageddon to Transformers
>>69063143
>Animal Care
>Not A Service
Neet much?
>>69062298
>.... it's not JUST china....
It's primarily China. Largest single Asian market, largest in the world after the US. That means a lot more to Hollywood than ten, smaller markets.
>implying they can mix pandering to China and SJWs at the same time
I just don't see it, senpai.
>>69063136
Because most modern movies are simple enough, they lack character development, depth, and imagination.
>>69063270
all the sjw pandering happens on US tv.
how many gay characters are in huge blockbusters?
>>69062439
>mfw europeans have been colonialized so hard that they copy the US's "diversity" thinking that is how we got such a high GDP per capita
>>69062848
Like he said, depressing weather
>>69063326
watch real movies then you fucking pleb. Stop complaining that generic action capeshit garbage is garbage
>>69063225
Armageddon wasnt aimed at kids ?
>>69062927
I bet you thought we all should've stayed farmers too
>>69063326
so were most old movies
