A lot of people are saying Disney could learn from this. People want good vs evil, pretty girls, heterosexual normalcy, good music, and a modern relatable setting. There was zero cussing. The animation was absolutely beautiful. Something both adults & kids can enjoy. It also had obvious Christian theming. Overcoming the lies of anxiety and Satan, overcoming your past, and overcoming evil via sacrifice of self. I also loved that the main characters are females who fight bad guys while staying feminine. The art and music are outstanding and topping the charts.
>>150175201Okay.
>>150175201korea will never have cool cars
something about today has brought out the strangest /co/ threads, especially that one bot that seems to be dredging up copypasted threads from multiple years ago
>listen to k-pop for the first time>it's literally the most generic mid modern pop music with the ugliest language ever on top of itNormalfags are literally soulless. They don't have sentience.
Having girls salivate as abs is pretty inappropriate.
>>150175201Honestly the Korean movies I seen slap. Train to buusan. The gangster, the cop, and the devil. Sector 7. Not a movie, but a tv show "all pf is are dead"
>>150175291Not really. It helps the birthrate.
Trendy hogwash for gen alpha. YAWN
>>150175285You're not watching the right stuff. Its basically American pop done with better production and skinnier more fashionable dancing girls.https://youtu.be/f5_wn8mexmM?si=oyLQPsh9Yk-ZF3sOhttps://youtu.be/Qc7_zRjH808?si=jkuGWhqaDcr_9Y6h
>>150175283I ruled this board in the past, lil bitch. (Op)
>>150175201They've learned a lot of good lessons from the US, but also a shitload of bad ones. They went harder than even Sweden did on empowering the feminazis, and now their birth rate so far sub-replacement they're frankly fucked.As for their art, though, they're definitely beating the piss out of anything written in America.

>>150175424>Its basically American popi hate american pop
>>150175482>muh feminazisHave you seen Korean incels? Fuck dude I'd become a goddamn misandrist too if I had to deal with those retards.
>>150175424https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWQx2f-CErU
>>150176199Didn't Korea literally have a feminist cultist as president until she got outted and was forced to step down?
>>150176463They also had 300 korean high school students drown in a ferry accident prior to that
>>150175201I'm always distracted by that red-haired one's long face.
>>150175201I don't understand how people find this visually appealing. It's the same ugly as character animation you find in recent Pixar movies.
>>150176463The US is being run by a Nazi cult right now.
>>150176463It wasn't a feminist cult, but it was a cult.
>>150176448>>150175424What is unique about Kpop is the production of so many boybands and girlbands. The US just doesn't produce those anymore and hasn't in a while. For as fucked up as the idol system is I think it's the only way to produce girl/boy bands that can be successful and last, the iron grip they have over their stars is what prevents the the scandals and dissolutions that plagued American bands.
>>150175201THIS IS NOT A KOREAN MOVIEIT WAS MADE IN THE US BY A US STUDIO
>>150176542>Donald>Socialist
>>150177593KPop Demon Hunters was made in Canada, actually.
>>150177754Either way, made by burgers and leafs. Koreans are touting this as a victory when it’s foreigners doing their culture better than them.
>>150175201Disney needs to STAY AWAY from KPop Demon Hunters. Don't even try to emulate it- they're only going to fail. Disney just needs to embrace its heritage.
>>150176607You say that like successfully manufacturing pop acts to cynically mine the public for cash and titillate the underage is a good thingIt's a money vacuum with zero artistic merit that chews up and spits out a small army of young talent
>>150175201>Korea the newNo. Korea is irrelevant and will disappear as a nation in a decade.
>>150175201No, South Korea is not going to be the new America, plus it isn't toping the charts in Japan.
>>150177922umm yea its a good thing if you like that kind of thing, and a lot of people do.
>>150177754Translation: Meant for proper theatrical release but got dumped on to Netflix because Theaters rejected it.It almost seems that EVIL Americans found a loop hole towards C11.
This is a Canadian animated film. It was made in Sony Imageworks which is based in Canada, Maggie Kang is a Canadian citizen. The male lead voice is a Canadian. Koreans are trying to steal credit for it.
>>150177950>It's a good thing if you like soulless music and people being ruthlessly exploitedCool post, Satan
>>150178186>korean parent company ownershipSony is a Japanese company, you ignorant plebbitor buffoon.
>>150178445Sony of America and Sony of Japan are 2 separate companies, the only thing they have in common is they're under the same corporate umbrella, thats it.
>>150175201>It also had obvious Christian themingCringe. Christcuckoldry is a spiritual disease.
>>150178788No, Christian theming is a good thing.
>>150176463>feminist cultistShe was a cultist but she was in no way a feminist beyond using the "first female president" as a title during her term. She was from the conservative party so she was the opposite of a feminazi type. She was one of many presidents who were shipped to jail after their term.
>>150175201I want to SMOOCH Mira's fivehead and LICK Zoey's armpits on display!!
>>150179966real shit
Its pure delusional nonsense, because the living situation in DK is dystopian, like legit cyberpunk tier except without the widespread technology which is kept by the megacorpos like Samsung who run the entire economy.>>150176463The nation was ran by a literal eye wide shut type cult where the sitting president had been groomed since infancy for the role.
>>150178788>t.Satan
>>150175201I fully intend to mock these
>>150175201you forgot the most important part>0 black characters
>>150180813>Koreans>eyes wide, shutKek
>>150175285J-Pop is better
>>150175424It's literally just late 90s American pop. It looks and sounds almost exactly like the stuff Britney Spears, Fiona Apple, Christina Aguilera, etc. were doing in the late 90s, right down to them occasionally using Eastern chord progressions to add an exotic flair. It's not American pop done better, it's just a style of American pop done no differently than it was in the past. And just like pop music from back then, it's fucking boring studio-headed cynically produced disposable trash.
>>150175285I find it confusing because when it has English lyrics it's literally indistinguishable from domestic pop music. So I don't really understand how people are specifically a fan of K-pop and not just corporate pop in general.
>>150175201why no one mentions that Rumi stole her hairstyle from pic related
>>150180750meanwhile in the west
>>150181337Cause that's just a generic hair style.
>>150175424Why did you think I would like this?
>>150175285Genuinely believe this is being shilled on here for some reason, the threads for it feel unnatural and repetitive with very little discussed yet they keep being made over and over again
>>150181310This, they even have those obligatory rap moments like they did back then too. Both of the links that anon posted even have it lmao.
>>150175201>Ching Chong: Ding DongWho cares?
>>150181415Usually I don't take shilling claims seriously. But people keep discussing this movie like it's receiving active content or like it's continuous series. It's one fucking movie and there's barely anything to talk about.
>>150175424>>150176448This is just the shit I'd hear on radio stations when I was a kid, outside of the fact that they speak in Korean, and even then they keep switching to English. The fuck? This shit sounds OLD.
>>150181263lmao
>>150176607How is this different from current shit like Katy Perry

>>150181505>current
>>150176607>For as fucked up as the idol system is I think it's the only way to produce girl/boy bands that can be successful and lastThere were 40 years of successful girl bands and boy bands before the idol system existed, which were created organically, many of which became some of the most famous bands of all-time. That's a total load of shit.
>>150181532Yes. Stuck culture.
>>150181539To be fair a lot of domestic idol grooming was fucked up too.It just wasn't literally instationilized.
>>150178882It literally isn't. Even christians hate christian movies
i hate american slop and i hate korean slop too so yeah probably
>>150181350meanwhile in France
>>150181350interesting how blue lipstick only looks good in weebshit
>>150175482They have high standards for their men. This is a good thing, especially in a non white nation. It makes the pressure off the white race to be the only decent humans. The birth rate for Asians is insanely high. There are so many of them. Lower birthrate = higher quality of life for the individual.
>>150175270america hasn't made a cool car since the 60s
this run is insane
>>150181748Red Notice's very existence is insane. I had no idea it even existed until like a month ago.
>>150181310as a 90's kid I was wondering why the songs in a gen alpha movie feel so damn nostalgic for me, now it makes sense
>>150176542>98% of Americans>cult
>>150176607Plus Americans eventually knock stars off the pedestal they put them on. Boy Bands started getting mercilessly derided by jealous men and boys to the point you'd never see them again.
>>150177941Why does Japan hate them so much when they're so similar
>>150177959You know anti Americanism is going to start getting punished, right?
>>150181249Zero whites too
>>150181310Why do you hate happy stuffhttps://youtu.be/Hki6RqI-eMA?si=nVkctafkuiU_FrE3
>>150181333Because corporate pop today is Satanic like Billie Eilish. They push lgbt ect. Or its a fat black girl pretending her face isn't ugly shaking her naked butt and rapping. Or its overtly sexual. Kpop keeps it clean and fun and the girls are skinnier and dance better and aren't total arrogant bitches.
>>150182637in the Solo Leveling japanese dub they change the script to make the story take place in Japan and main cast japanese just because they hate South Korea that much
>>150181380Because its clean happy 1950s fun pop for the youth
>>150181618Passion of Christ is the highest box office film of all time.
>>150181748Its been at the Billboard tops for four weeks. Its insanely popular here
>>150182766Why though? You'd think they'd join against China
>>150181333because it makes them feel special if they listen to something from another country, especially something that other people say is the cool thing to listen to.There is no difference to k-pop, j-pop and just pop
>>150182871Japs totally bend their knees to China these days, it's the main reason why fanservice in anime was toned down compared to decades ago, they are complying to chinese censorship
>>150182942Really?
>>150175201>obvious Christian theming.Dude, the entire thing was based around Korean shamanism.
>>150176166Mandarin is beautiful, I guarantee you’re thinking of Cantonese
>>150182871>Why though?Japan tried to wipe Korea off the map, failed, doesn't want to acknowledge it.
>>150182766No they don't. I know this is false because I watched fan subbed episodes before it even had a dub.They don't pull any punches with the deceitful Japanese elites jobbing unceremoniously during the ant story either.Very interesting attempt at misinformation though.
>>150183049No they killed demons.
>>150183088So what? Get over it. America has
>>150175201>most watched movie>most watched tvKorea actually won
>>150183098iirc the japs made two dubs, one with the aforementioned changes that aired domestically while the other is faithful to the original manhwa plot that was exported overseas
>Korea finally becomes a cultural juggernaut after trying as hard as they possibly could since the early 90s>Has 15 years left at best before their demographics start to completely fuck the viability of their entertainment industries in the ass
>>150183271their 90's stuff is mostly bootleg shit
>>150183248I haven't done a lot of digging but the Japanese villains in the second season are unchanged in the version that aired on Tokyo MX.
>>150181263Lmao god dangit, should have proofread my post.
>>150181698>The birth rate for Asians is insanely highanon, I...
>>150183864i mean, poojeets are asian
>>150183912Anon, India's birth rates fell below the replacement rate 3 years ago. The only part of Asia with above replacement rates anymore is Central Asia.
>>150180813DK lives in a jungle and he is doing just fine.Theres nothing dystopian about DK, also DK is Japanese with lots of British input back in the 1990s, not Korean.>>150181310Just as a reminder that 90s kids, teens and adults were listening to Koji Kondo, Jun Ishikawa and Yuzo Koshiro; NOT Britney Spears, Fiona Apple and Christina Aguilera.>>150181698What you just said is 100% fake. Lower birthrate = Lower quality of life for the individual, it's why South Korea and Japan are suffering as of late.>>150182942They're not, it's why Sanseitō is now Japan's second political largest party as of late, that and heavy backing from Nintendo.>>150183218Not in Japan.>>150183299WRONG! Their 90's stuff is mostly American outsourced shit.
>>150175201>KoreanNot a single Korean was involved in this movie becoming a thing.
>>150181563Not even close.Anyway... Fixed.
>>150184694this has got to be the most delusional post I've ever seen
>>150184842Nope, it's the god's honest truth.
>>150184443I'm white. How tf should I care about Asian birthrates when my people are less than 9% of the global population?
>>150184694Asian cope strikes again. Celebrate actual victory.

>>150186470A schizo that lies with the Lord's name
>>150187349No, not the case at all.Koji Kondo makes far more money then Taylor Swift
>>150183271>>150181333>>150183218What part of "THIS MOVIE WAS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES, NOT KOREA" you stupid ignorant niggers fail to understand?
>>150181333It's about the imagine of the girls. They look generically pretty and pale enough to satisfy smooth brains like >>150182765
>>150175201Shitty movie
>>150187798It was a movie made by a Korean Canadian but it is an example of Korea's rising soft power culturally. The music itself was also written by actual Kpop producers so it's hardly a "copycat" in that regard - it's just straight up Kpop with more English lyrics than usual. The movie somehow ended up being the best of both worlds because if a Korean had tried to make a movie with the same premise it would've been much more nihilistic and full of edgy satire/subversion instead of playing the Kpop stuff straight.
>>150181415People keep forgetting that when Elon first bought Twitter and pulled the plug on some shady algorithm manipulations, K-pop suddenly stopped trending and its engagement took a massive plummet. Everything about their culture is forced as fuck, and you’d think that a website that has no problems jumping to the same conspiracy conclusions about pretty much everything (especially when the culprit is DA JOOOOOOZ) would be a little more cognizant about how unnatural anything Korean related is.
