It's a good movie but it's not the second coming of the Golden era of Disney. I don't get why so many people are obsessed with this especially the normal population. I did not think that many people actually saw it
>>152963465K-Pop Demon Hunters is objectively pretty fucking popular, I don't know what to tell you dude. Where do you live and what kind of people do you hang out with?
>>152963465It's the new Frozen.
>>152963465I support the KPop Demon Hunters craze since it means today's children actually have a cartoon hit of their own to enjoy instead of millennials and elder zoomers' reheated leftovers.
>>152963465No it just seems like a rennaissance piece in comparison to everything else. Movies of kdh caliber ought to be coming out multiple times a year from different studios. It's so easy and simple to do what they did but studios refuse to do it because they dont like it.
>>152963578Frozen was a flash in the pan because one of its songs was a reheated ear worm.
>>152963465Not gonna lie, I kinda want to try the Hunter sauce
>>152963465Can you order the breakfast meal anytime of the day? Because soda for breakfast is kinda fucked
>>152965326Not generally, but some local places might let you. Depends where you live.
>>152965326Dude I remember being in middle school and this one kid would just drink a can of coke for breakfast by itself. Poor people nutrition is just straight fucked.
>>152963827Yeah for real. I saw a kid at the bus stop yesterday with Rumi’s hairdo, good for them.
>>152963465Fuck McDonald's
>>152963465>it's not the second coming of the Golden era of DisneyI don't know. This might be the push they needed to realize what audiences want to see.You can bet there were a bunch of rich bastards in a boardroom trying to figure out why this movie was successful.
>>152963465Literally everything kpop related is astroturfed. Is the movie popular? Yes. Is the movie anywhere near as popular as the internet would have you believe? Not even close.
>>152963465I think it's genuinely more popular with little kids than with teenagers or adults. Teenagers can just get into actual k-pop and anime, little kids are still forming their tastes and probably appreciate a softer introduction to those topics. It's colorful, the characters are cute and there's nice songs. I've seen little kids dressed up as the characters just walking around my neighborhood.
>>152967301Anyone who thinks this movie's success actually has anything to do with k-pop have misunderstood.It's like thinking Frozen was successful because people like snow.The k-pop thing is just the backdrop, and pop stars are universal.It's really all about the appealing characters, catchy songs, and emotional plot.Their celebrity status and barbie doll aesthetic appeals to young girls. And the fact that they're an idol group creates a sort of fake fandom people can latch onto, as if they were a real band. And in a way they are. Kinda like The Gorillaz or Vocaloids.
>>152963827This.
>>152963465Ends with the heroes killing demons and protecting their borders. Very based.
>>152965326And mcdonalds isn't.
>>152966858Those rich bastards must be living under a rock then, because Pretty Girls Crushing On Boys, Fighting Cool Monsters, and Singing Catchy Songs While Doing It has VERY obvious appeal.
>>152963465I see all this talk about K-Pop Demon slayer and I've come to the realization that I not apart of the youth anymore.
>>152963465I mean they also have Happy Meals with KPDH toys, right? That'd be the only real reason for me to give a shit about this promotion, since my daughter would love a HUNTR/X toy.
k-sloppa is the future for you, goyim
this pretty much sums up the state of /co/
>>152963827>eats noodles>keeps the packaging with kpop woman on it rather than throwing it in the trashSatanic.
>>152969440I can only imagine that the reason why the execs had 0 faith in the movie is because it feels more oriented to the teen and tween demographic while every other western animated movie is aimed at children that are even younger
It's just a trend. No one will be talking about it six months from now.
>>152969743kpop demon hunters was made by Canadians btw
>>152969775I mean, it's limited edition...And I wouldn't say it's satanic, per se
>>152969836Not that fast a trend, with a live tour and sequel on the way.
>>152963465The state of media is such that watching a competently made movie is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that restructures the audience members' brains.
>>152970019It's a pack of fucking Shin Ramen.
>>152963465Netflix struck gold with it, and they're simply milking it for all that it is worth.
>>152963465Disney hasn't had a win in a long time so they are going to milk this cash cow for all its worth. Better yet it has international appeal in Asia which is an added bonus for stretching out their market appeal.
>>152969836That's what people were saying six months ago
>>152970050With Best Girl Zoey on it.
>>152964040>Frozen was a flash in the panAnon it dominated the kids market for a decade what the fuck are you talking about >>152963465>It's good but not specialYeah, and that's what gets popular. How old are you? It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that fluffy pop-y mediocrity that takes no risks is what appeals to a mass market.
>>152970070Sony Pictures made this
>>152970050What's wrong with ramen?
>>152967122How do you know this? How do you measure popularity in the real world?
>>152967122Netflix meters says otherwise. It remained in the top ten for almost a whole year by now. Not only that but the music literally broke records no other KPop shitter could, not even the terrorist groups like BTS or EXO. It's getting too big
>>152966858tummy
>>152969811I think they just made the same mistake everyone else made. Assuming this movie is about k-pop which isn't popular enough to sustain a movie.They were unable to see past the title.They couldn't understand that Huntrix would actually just present as generic pop stars which are the modern equivalent of disney princesses, but more relatable.They saw K-Pop when they should have been seeing Hannah Montana.
>>152963465It was, at the very least, competent. The story made sense, the characters had arcs, there were catchy tunes, and it looked nice. When you have Disney putting out shit like Strange World and Wish, being competent is an accomplishment. Audiences responded well to that.
>>152973607Does anyone have any realworld testimonials about how EXACTLY executives make these greenlighting decisions? I know it's funny to imagine them as oblivious distracted drones, but surely they have some familiarity with public appetites for entertainment or heuristics for descisionmaking.
Yellow fever is for fags.
>>152968394It is, but to top your "breakfast burger" with soda is even worse
>>152963465Bros I’ve listened to Golden and Free like a billion times now, I’m not really into pop music but nothing else catches my attention honestly
>>152975412For me it's Golden and What It Sounds LikeMy guilty pleasure is Your Idol Hololive version
>>152969811They had zero faith because they were racist. Literally.>“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
someone on reddit got access to the kpop demon hunters meal early

>check kpop for the first time because of this movie>the whole genre is nothing but a huge rehash of 90s/early 2000s american pop like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, only in a different language
>>152975850No shit, Sherlock
>>152969775You sound like a refugee from a Chick Tract. Shouldn't you be making a scene about heavy metal or D&D?
>>152963465Sony animation kicked pixars ass multiple times now of course big companies want a piece of the cake
>>152963465>normal populationIs already overrun with kpop obsessives. The Kpop industry is MASSIVE. it's just indoctrinating kids into a trend to keep cash flowing. Essentially the movie and tie ins ARE the marketing
>>152975850>all music is a rehash of previous musicno shit faggot, the next generation isn't gonna listen all those grandmas to get to know pop music

>>152963465It's for preteen girls. You aren't a preteen girl, that's why you don't understand the obsession
>>152963465You know I've still not seen this. I know it's actually not a bad movie and it's got the sin of being too popular, but I'm just genuinely not interested. It's not even cuz it's a movie cuz I just watched the HD leak of Hoppers last night and loved it. I just don't find K-pop very interesting maybe?
>>152969836The movie came out nine months ago, it is not a trend at this point.

>>152964040>because one of its songs was a reheated ear wormand Golden is literally a reheated version of that reheated ear worm
>>152975487Its also a big case of studios not understanding a fucking thing about modern children. Its a big reason so many movies are dogshit these days.KDH understood the KPop market extremely well, and also how to present that in a fun way. Sony fucked up big time by letting this go to Netflix. They handed them this generation's Frozen on a silver platter.I still want to know if any executive at Sony lost their job over this.
>>152979965It's a flavor of imaginative ice cream, like all entertainment. Just try it, or don't.
>>152974151If its a woman pitching, how many miles of dick will she take from the execs. If its a man, what the Wikipedia background section says about his mother.
>>152975412>>152975463Yeah, I personally think What It Sounds Like is the best Huntr/x song. Its got a lot of depth to its construction and some really great lyrics.But for my guilty pleasure, its Soda Pop. Can't stop listening to that shit.
>>152979965If you don't like it within the first ten minutes then just shut it off. Its not a terribly long movie anyway.
