Is it worth watching this if you're a mid 20's guy who doesn't care at all about Kpop? I work in an elementary school and it's so popular that probably the majority of kids are into this movie, including the boys. I watched a couple trailers at my niece's insistence and it looks like ADHD shit with low framerate. If you guys say it is, I'll get turnt this Friday and watch it with my niece's father so I can make more jokes/references with my students
It's a good typical self contained action adventure. It ain't ground breaking. It's like a nice glass of room temp water. My perspective, though, is that of someone wandering the desert dying of thirst. The songs are good enough, the fight scenes are pretty good, and a couple of the jokes are legitimately really fucking funny (the slide).
>>150413339And when I say it's "typical" I mean to omit the previous 30 years of bull crap.
>>150413310I believe the film is a good demonstration of not needing to reinvent the wheel, just need to stylize the crap out of it. It just works.
>>150413310>>150412394Ne zha 2 > kpoop
>>150413310If you want to connect with your students then there are worse things to watch, it's not a bad movie.
>>150413310It's on Netflix and it's 90 minutes long, there's next to no barrier to entry. I'm 30, similarly have no interest in KPop, but I liked enough to watch it twice. I don't want to hype it up too much, but I can say definitively that it is better than you'd expect based on the title, like Kung Fu Panda or some shit.
>>150413310You don't need to give two shits about kpop to enjoy the movie.Imagine if you applied that standard to other movies.Nobody expects you to care about Hawaii to watch Moana or Lilo and Stitch.You can enjoy Toy Story even if you haven't played with toys since you were 7.
>>150413584Seconded.
>>150413401Probably the best descriptor for Kpop Demon Hunters. It's familiar but still a fun time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tlDSnc5dmo
>>150413310It's alright. Somewhat rushed but overall solid for a self-contained flick. Nice visuals. It's definitely something tailored to a younger crowd so don't get too annoyed by some of the cornier stuff.
Thanks for the input everyone, it'll probably be a go then. One of my students is really into Rumi and he said that he wishes Rumi was his speech teacher instead of me. Guess I'll find out why...>>150413439I watched about half of Skibidi Toilet for that last year so yeah I've probably done worse
>>150413310>my niece's father So... your brother?
>>150414666Sister's husband
AGP demon hunters
>3 out of the top 5 Billboard chart songs are KPOP Demon Hunters God damn
is there a good chance that op is actually a teacher or is he a lying shill?
>>150414897I'm not a teacher, I'm an SLP. Just got off the phone with ASHA about paying dues for licensure this year
>>150413310Awesome movie!
>>150414897songs from this movie have like 200 million views on youtube, they don't need to astroturf it
>>150413310Im in my mid 20s and work retail (Trader joes) and got my gf pregnantShoukd I take up this cop gig?I commend you on having a job that matters, teaching is at least a job to be proud of
>>150414861Yeah. Slop vs slop with a story.
the first 20 minutes are tiktok core but the rest of the movie is decent.
>>150414421>not zoey what are they even teaching kids these days?
last thread we determined the black pouch was for korean shamanism talismans.
>>150417036Better theory, the pouch is for makeup.
>>150414861
>>150417036>>150417757Better better theory. The pouch is for MDMA.
>>150417757hopefully not she needs to use less makeup I don't like her eyeshadow
>>150417837koreans can get drug tested when they come back to the country and if positive it counts as possession. happens to celebrities sometimes.
>>150413310Look mate you're on /co/, I think you're well past worrying about watching children's media. Also yeah it's a pretty alright movie.
>>150418164yeah the question is more like should the op be allowed to be around children?
>>150414861>it's REAL well I'll be...
>>150414861Still? It hitting up there wasn't that surprising with how popular the movie was, but I would have expected it to die off at this point instead of remaining on the top of the charts. I guess the combination of popular and not even radio safe but family friendly means it's gonna stay on the airwaves for a long time.
>>150413310As a guy whose friend just kept INSISTING he watch it until finally I gave in, tonight, uhh.. it really depends on your tolerance for shitty modern musicI was expecting it to be like what I remember Kpop being. yknow, knockoff Jpop. fun, simple rock n' roll. But no. this is R&B, rap, and irritating boyband-style singing with lots of autotune and 'soul' singing. I despised almost every second of the music, there were literally periods measured in single digit seconds that sounded nice, usually just a jingle or a guy plucking a lute.If you can get past that, and how cringey they act during pretty much the entire first 20-30 minutes, and how cringey all the fans act in the first act, then... yeah it's actually a good story, that becomes MUCH less annoying later.The faces still really piss me off 90% of the time. the boys are hideously wrongly-pretty. the girls look okay most of the time, but the cute one has a beaky nose, the main one has bizarre pseudohawk hair, and the tall one really needs to be dressed in flannel. I fucking hate most of their outfits (the epaulets ones were okay). The time they looked the most attractive was with their bandaged faces, all sad and puppy-eyed. The shitty attempts at anime faces made me cringe super hard most of the time. weirdly only the ugly doctor guy looked 'right' doing them.the real reason my friend had me watch it, I think, is it's an amazing and completely unexpected judeo-christian allegory about sin and how the devil tries to make you feel like you're not worth forgiving, so that you won't bother to try (since if you did, it'd work, and he'd be fucked). And how you can only be cleaned by acknowledging the need to, and not covering it up. Iunno. my ears are kinda still bleeding from the sped-up (i cranked up the speed for those parts) music.
>>150413584that's differentfirst of all, toy story offended me as a toy fan. those were baby-ass toys from like the 60s. Not even cool ones like GI Joe.secondly, 'Hawaiian' is not a subculture that is super annoying. Not to say they don't HAVE those, and the directors said they worked really hard to keep that balanced so nobody's out here in the hawaiian equivalent of EYYY HOLMES QUE PASAAAAA
>>150414421that's such an unexpectedly douchey thing for a kid to say.>>150414687your brother-in-law then.>>150415926seconded. this thing had such a bad introduction that it might as well have been Star Trek. But eventually, they basically turned into the Paper Sisters.>>150419181I have to imagine at this point most of the people actually buying music are witless preteen girls, so.. it kinda tracks. I didn't buy any of the music from Bill n' Ted 3. I did buy the movie though, wanted to support it.
>My voice! My real voice represents me and my inner truth! I lost it when I doubted myself and now I'm finding it again by admitting who I really am! Now to illustrate that through song! Ahem:>~AUTOTUNED GARBAGE FROM CLEARLY A DIFFERENT SINGER~kinda undermined that a little.
>boring worthless slop is actually goodSo tired of this shit narrative, fuck off.
>>150413310It has cute women and men doing cute and violent things. Music is a mild minus.
>>150413339>My perspective, though, is that of someone wandering the desert dying of thirst.Oh god yes, it's good and midly great at best, but compared to what the recent output has been at its no wonder it's just fucking EXPLODING
