It's official!
You act like there was ever any doubt that there would be a sequel.
>>152792370nice
Who should get the spotlight for the sequel?>Mira>ZoeyNo I am not including Rumi she got the whole damn first movie for her personal drama, let the other two get a chance at being MCs
>>152792442they probably have more to play with from zoey's backstory, what with her being from a whole different country
>>152792370>Korean>Korean>KoreanWhat’s with everyone pretending this is a Korean film? Maggie Kang has lived in Canada since she was 5.
>>152792442I can see Rumi getting the spotlight again to explore her demon father
>>152792370Wonderful! I can't wait to see more of them.
>>152792428I don't think anybody expected this movie to blow up the way it did.
>>152792370I'm concerned because Sony has a bit of a reputation of screwing up sequels to good films. Remember Spider Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Across The Spiderverse?
>>152792370yay i'm excited too!
>>152792494Does Sony even have any say? They signed away everything for the first one.
>>152792370Best girl is coming back.
>>152792370>korean filmmakerNigga you were born and raised in canada.
>>152792515i think the only say is that they get to be the animation studio that makes the sequeleverything else they fucking sold away
>>152792528>>152792453>acting like you still don't have korean parents and family raising you
>>152792530Heh, bet they're kicking themselves for that.
>>152792515They only did that because they had no faith in it making any money. It's a New IP with a ridiculous premise, they had no faith in it making money since it was going up against Superman and Fantastic Four. So they figured they'd make more money signing it away to netflix for a lump sum, than releasing it in theaters. A boneheaded executive decision up there with letting George Lucas keep the merchandise rights to Star Wars.
>>152792530imagine if Sony kept Kpop Demon Hunterswe could have them on a Playstation game
>>152792528There were a lot of Korean cultural consultants for this movie. Which probably explains why it wasn't a woke disaster like it very well could have been.
>>152792557Yay, a game where you hold up and walk while the cast spouts exposition at you.
>>152792555the worst part was they had been shown the script, song demos and storyboards, and instead of keeping some of the rights like mitchells and machines, they sold ALL of it>“We pitched the movie to Sony,” Kang explained in a recent interview. “And they passed on it. It’s a big risk to do a movie with a full Asian cast on something that’s very culturally Korean, which hasn’t been done before. K-pop was at its peak, but it could have plateaued. There was a lot of uncertainty with that. So we pitched it to Netflix. We had a full draft, a couple of demo songs, a ton of amazing art and a couple of scenes that I had [story]boarded that we cut. And there were three different animatics samples that we shared; and they loved it. And then we were off to the races.”https://www.thepopverse.com/movies-kpop-demon-hunters-sony-pictures-animation-netflix-relationship
>>152792557it's a karaoke game somehow
>>152792608Have they added any of the songs to Just Dance yet?
>>152792453Can they fight an older Abby Park in this
>>152792582>It’s a big risk to do a movie with a full Asian castThere's a Korean retard on YouTube whose entire shtick is explaining cartoons in pidgin English, what risk
>>152792450I wonder how the spirit worlds of the various different nations work. Is the European spirit world more like the Christian hell? The Saja boys did chant in Latin for 'Your Idol'.
>>152792518>Best girl>It's a slutYeah, no
What are Korean Canadians known for? Do they do any sports?
>>152792690>>152792582>>152792690>It’s a big risk to do a movie with a full Asian castSquid Game was literally the biggest show on the planet for a hot minute.
>>152792764Everyone stopped caring the moment lockdown ended.
>>152792582Why could Netflix recognise the potential and Sony didn't?
>>152792841Netflix will try anything.
>>152792841They probably weren't expecting it to be a big hit either, they likely just figured they needed some kids content to fill out their Korean content catalog.
Predict the innevitable guess star
>>152792484Especially shoulder to shoulder with other forgettable animations they rolled out that just flopped right on their faces.Golden being used in the winter olympics is a big big deal. They made a cultural impact with an original IP.
>>152792370Rumi is the star of this. Mira and Zoey are underwhelming without the half demon woobie main girl to lead this.
>>152792882but they still expected something considering they gave kpop demon hunters a long enough mandatory theatrical run in LA (before it was popular enough for singalong screenings) so it could count for the oscars
>>152792568the sequel will be. The vultures are attracted to success.
>>152792921forgot his name, but one of the guys from BTS was a fan of the film
>>152792442The sunlight sistersI wanna know how Rumi's mom took demon cock.
>>152792942Sadly.
>>152792568They did still manage to sneak a lesbian into the main trio though.
>>152793088they were all slobbering over the hot dudes, so no
>>152793088??? Who?>Rumi is all over Jinu>Both Mira and Zoey thirst for abs and Zoey’s type is MysteryI never saw any one of them as lesbians.
>>152793288Mira is queer coded. The whole abs thing was just a red herring. She is clearly not interested in men.
>>152793316>She is clearly not interested in menNigga, even in a fight to the death she was literally drooling over Abby before she killed him. Abby even made a statement that she was always looking at him. That bitch is not queer.
>>152793387All I’m saying is that she was obviously designed to be the queer girl of the group. Hopefully we will get to see her explore her sexuality in the sequel.
>>152793474>she was obviously designed to be the queer girl of the groupCan you back up this claim? I don’t see where you’re coming from.>Hopefully we will get to see her explore her sexuality in the sequelThey had the chance to make her a lesbian or insert some yuri subtext but there was none of that in the first movie. I don’t think they’ll go back on that. Hell, they might even double down and hook her up with Abby or Romance or both in the sequel. The Saja Boys were banished back to the demon world but they could be brought back, with Jinu’s fate being uncertain.
So who will be the next big villain of the movie? Is Gwi-Ma even truly dead or what? Also is Jinu Rumi’s sword now?
>>152794051They meet a male solo act who is also a hunter. Rumi falls for him while Jinu, still stuck in the sword form, has to watch helplessly as she slips away.
>>152793316not sure if incel, or tumblr
If Jinu comes back, I can see this happening.
>>152792442Personally I want more Zoey, but beyond exploring the disconnect between the two sides of her family I feel like Rumi still has the most actual plot potential. Whether it's exploring her demon father, her demon powers, reconnecting with her adoptive mother, or bringing back Jinu in some power-of-love kind of way.
>>152792494I liked Across the Spiderverse. Would probably like it more if it had an actual ending.
>>152792698It could align with tower of babel, IE god placing a ruling spirit over each nation but its all the same system.
>>152793627>The Saja Boys were banished back to the demon world but they could be brought back, with Jinu’s fate being uncertain.Kang already said that she doesn't care for the rest of the Saja boys and were written as mob characters with a name. They certainly would not be featured in an important role in a sequel.
>>152792370Genuinely the most "old men in boardroom coming up with what will sell" franchise ever. "KPop? Yeah, the rabid retards online love that! Demon hunting? Uh... my kid loves that anime with the guy who wears green and has a pighead friend. Funny meme faces? My daughter sends me epic reaction GIFs over text all the time. Um... uh... romance? But the romance is FORBIDDEN like that cool Shake a spear story. Sure why not.
>>152793088The only character that might be gay is Bobby. He acted very fruity when he put on that bathrobe.
>>152795028his position demands the guy be gay or sex trafficking
>>152795020>"old men in boardroom coming up with what will sell"Actually it was the exact opposite. It was all Maggie Kangs idea. The Kpop gimmick didn't come until after she decided she wanted to set a fantasy story in modern Korea.
>>152795000I wouldn’t rule them out, especially if the writers want to revisit anything related to demon world. Besides, the sequel won’t come out until a couple of years so things may change behind production. They could also milk the Saja Boys for more songs too since Soda Pop and Your Idol were pretty popular.
>>152795061>Making things up so you don't feel like you fell for old, out-of-touch boardroom men slopHAHAHAHAHA
>>152792370They'll never make it. But I want to see some prequels about what the Demon Hunters were doing in Korea during the Japanese occupation, and the Korean War.
>>152795054>sex traffickingWell this is a kids movie so you can't go that far. Though I'm almost certain there will be a Kpop Manager in the sequel who's as evil as some real Kpop managers are.
>>152795116>Well this is a kids movie so you can't go that far.Too bad about the fandom being paedophiles.
>>152794883There will probably be a new demon band trying to steal souls and/or corrupt the honmoon. Since it was Saja Boys last time, in the sequel it'll probably be a rival girl band.
>>152795160And Mira will fall for one of them.
>>152795097And then you guys complain about cartoons being too political
>>152792764Execs have always been out of touch.
Mira sex
>>152795349Mira is straight but that might change for the new movie. It wouldn't be the first time a straight character is retconned as gay.
>>152792528>>152792453>Eurotards not understanding ethnicity trumps nationalityBlood is thicker then soil. A Korean Canadian is KOREAN. Just as Korean as a Korean who lives in Korea. A Blackie living in Briton or France is NOT BRITISH OR FRENCH a British or French American or Canadian is more British or French.
>>152795160What are the chances the two bands come together and make a super band of Hunter and demons? I could see the sequel going that route, especially since they already established Rumi accepting herself as a half demon. Might as well bridge the gap between both worlds.
>KPDH was a hit for aiming to little girls rather than fat white liberal women and trannies>The sequel will pander exclusively to far white liberal women and trannies
>>152796352Ok but what if the sequel is good and doesn’t do any of that?
>>152796352>KPDH was a hit for aiming to little girlsNo, that was the audience.
>>152792370How many times you have to confirm this?Also MAKE A FUCKING SERIES YOU RETARDS. The world is too big to just use 2 stupid hours.
>>152796253Fuck you faggot. America has the fucking fakest latinos in the whole world. Those motherfuckers wouldn't last a week in real Latin America.
>>152796401Aren't most American latinos chuds? Trump won in the latino demographic and they're white supremacists working for ICE
>>152796384Nah, KPop Demon Hunters is pretty straightforward. I think the movie format best suits it.
So… they’re gonna bring Jinu back or what?
This movie gave me crabs.
>>152795020>>152795074The old men in the boardroom had no faith in this, what are you talking about
>>152796770>Got greenlit in the first placeNo?
>>152796284Or their manager is a demon, and the girls working for the demon band are normal human girls who tried and failed to be idols, either they were too ugly, or couldn't sing well enough, or had issues dancing. But got a second chance by making a deal with the devil. Something something. Message about inner beauty and not trying to be perfect.
>>152796352>The sequel will pander exclusively to far white liberal women and trannies???
>>152795116I know I was just saying hes obviously gonna be gay or implied it thru his mannerisms they wont show him with a wife or something
>>152795124the guy fans are maybe but the girls in the movies are early 20s
>>152792370I believe KPop Demon Hunters can overthrow the North Korean dictatorship.
>>152797383what if NK makes their own rival group to battle huntrix
>>152797399Why focus on rivalries when it could be about Huntr/x discovering singing hunters being oppressed by Kim Jon Un? Or is North Korea what happens when the demons win?
>>152796717It's pretty much a given. In fact I bet all Saya boys will be back and turn into good guys so they can date the girls.
>>152797509because it would be funny since SK and NK hate each other
Okay but will the girls brap?
>>152792370...who cares?
>>152797129Netflix own the IP now
I think the sequel should have their teacher as the main antagonist and we find out she killed Rumi's mom after discovering she fucked a demon
>>152797974I think Sony still holds the IP. Netflix just has distribution rights.
>>152792442Mira, I need to know what her deal is.
>>152798043kek based
>>152798043That sound a little too dark and some people may find it homophobic by claiming the teacher was jealous
I really have no idea why people care about this film.
>>152798551Kids love k-shit these days.
>>152798504>by claiming the teacher was jealousNo she saw Rumi's mother as a traitor so she'd be racist
>>152792370Good for its fans
>>152792515>>152792530>>152792555>>152792582Whenever I read these kind of posts I chuckle, my god Sony get your shit together ffs.
>>152796253Blood isn't thicker then soil. So that metaphor is garbage.
>>152792715Hey everyone look at the puritan over here! People like you are responsible for creating what you hate.
>>152797932This, I ain't watching this shit.
they were even playing this shit on the radio
>>152792715They're all sluts.
>>152792370Which one of them is turning gay?
>>152799967ALL OF THEMPOLYTRIX TIIIIME!
>>152797974And Netflix has lots of content featuring straight romances and conventionally attractive people, what's your point?
>>152792370>Maggie>Korean
>>152792568>Implying Koreans aren't woke
>>152796253I agree that an adult immigrant, who was raised on a total different culture in some remote legion of the world, cannot fully identify himself with nation of the country that host him. However, I think that the case of people born in a country or brought in early childhood, whose parents are inmigrants, is complex. What's the national identiy of someone who has been raised by immigrants parents and, at the same time, went to school everyday, where spent time with friends, and learned about the history, language and culture of the country that hosts him/her?
>>152792370This movie is highly satanic because it has DEMONS. They just want to upset good christians
>>152796352Translation: It's not about Trump and MAGA, so I'm going to hate it without even seeing it!
>>152798551Same reason why Matrix got popular in the 90's.>"What if we were to import a bunch of Anime tropes that are popular, but have no presence in the western zeitgeist, and animate them with that popular style that Black Spider-Man had and seemed to resonate with audiences, then pass it off as our own cooking? Hohoho, delightfully devilish, KPDH!"I'm not knocking it for that. I respect the hustle.
>>152796352>far whiteBah gawd
>>152796495>Spends the entire film lusting after sexy boys>Everyone calls her a bulldyke/carpet muncherI don't get it...
>>152793316>The whole abs thing was just a red herringI thought that was communism?
>>152793627they art book calls them sisters. polycucks btfo
>>152800394they assume there's only one reason your parents might fight with youi hope she was in a gang
>>152795116I don't think the industry will let them get away with doing that. Those fuckers are backed by the government.
>>152792370Will there be WMAF relationships in the sequel? Seems weird there wasn't any in the first when both directors are in them.
>>152798477What deal is there to have? She's a spoiled brat who never got told 'no' in her life except for once, where doing so gave her more fame and fortune than even being some heiress (if she played ball) ever would have.She's spent her whole life believing she's above consequences and being proven right.
>>152792370Very bland kpop story. Everybody loves it for kpop stuff. What else is there to tell?
>>152792370Koreans can't make more than one season of shows. See: Squid Game, Kingdom.
I want to see Zoeys BWC past
>>152800331It's hard to be for a pro-communist ideology when you're right next door to the worst communist dictatorship, probably in the entire history of humanity.
>>152800394She has a dyke voice and an aloof dyke personality.
>>152802498Also her singer irl is ugly as shit and has the body language of a hoodrat
>>152792370I'm happy i get to see more of Mira's sexy ass
>>152800474We'll see. We'll see.
>>152802498>>152802723off topic whining
>>152792547>>152792555I seriously think this will go down in history as one of the worst decisions in entertainment business history, alongside Marvel selling their original rights in perpetuity and, eventually, Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers.
>>152795000>>152795116Gwi-Ma is already a metaphor for a predatory music exec.>Has absolutely zero creativity, been fighting the hunters for centuries and never once hit on the most obvious idea of making his own band>domineering of the band despite being entirely reliant on them>actively encourages harmful parasocial relationships purely for his own benefit (the lyrics of Your Idol)>quite literally devours the lives of talent and fans
>>152797649I had a dream one night that Abby Saja specifically survived and teamed up with Huntrx for revenge on Gwi-Ma for killing Jinu, who he was kinda sorta in love with.>I hate you. You hate me. But, I think we BOTH hate Gwi-Ma more. And I think we both love revenge! Who doesn't?
>>152804066>Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers.Hope for the best expect the worst.
>>152804109Huh. Didn't think of it that way. It was so subtle I didn't notice. I was expecting something more like Lou in the Guitar hero games.
>>152792442I always liked the idea of Zoey getting the spotlight here, but I feel like they'd save a US trip for a third film
>>152792370How it's done done done.
>>152801903you're conflating the two
>>152792370Netflix won.
>>152792370Oh boy!!
Most sexy one
>>152804514What clued me in on a rewatch was when he went "Soda Pop. Huh. It's catchy." That's the voice of a man evaluating his product.
>>152800348Yes, the good guys kill the demons. And there is no room for Jesus in it because they solve everything through friendship and acceptance not the blood of christ. So youre right youre just a fucking retard and pretending to make some kind of straw man point.
>>152807826I agree I can see her being the only one being good at sex, fun to be around, fun to date.
>>152804109Kpop Demon Hunters is surprisingly full of metaphors for the music industry and idols in particular, like how each of the Saja Boys represents a particular way idols get objectified by both fans and the industry itself.Which I find absolutely fascinating AND bizarre, because the movie is almost unrealistically kind to the way fans are portrayed - the fact that the HUNTR/X fandom at large was apparently totally fine with the idea of Rumi dating Jinu almost broke my immersion, considering how fucking rabid fans of idols IRL get about that exact issue.
>>152792370>Netflix season/part 2 of anything>Inject lgbtqiapedo+ western politicsIt's going to be trash and it already wasn't very good.
>>152795000Lets not act like the main characters are little more than mob or background characters as wellPink haired faggot got as much depth as slightly rounded bandmember and moody skinny bandmemberPlot relevance just isn't a good metric
>>152808178KPDH is set in an AU where Korean idols control their careers and manage their finances.
>>152800394Mira is super duper CUTE!
