So over the week-end I watched both Ne Zha films.They were competently made but how in the fuck did the 2nd one deserve to be one of the top box office success of all time?
>>223594426>deservewhen has that ever been a factor for a film's financial success?
>>223594426It didn't, it was just the Chinese seething about whatever latest hollywood blockbuster came out and making up the numbers on their end so they could brag about it.Worth noting that something like 99.999% of it's so-called box office revenue came solely from China (source: China).
>>223594426having 1 billion chinese is not deserving
nezha please
>>223594467If the money was even real, how do you think they got it up that high? Mandate for every Chinese citizen to go watch it?I can't believe a movie this generic got the real enthousiam of dozens, if not hundreds of millions Chinese people.
>>223594547I get the bugs just went and watch it out of spite but the movie is anything but generic, their 3d stuff was top tier.
>>223594450You're right. The new Spider-Man movie was shit, yet it made all the money this summer and is also climbing up the ladder of biggest successes ever.
>>223594426From what I could understand it was released during the holidays and the other movies released during that time sucked so people kept rewatching it
>>223594561Says on IMDB that the budget was estimated to $80M, it looked great, especially all the "crowds" in the final battle, but the story is kinda generic, all the "twists" were predictable. Like I said in the OP, it was competently made, but the final result is nothing exceptionnal.
>>223594426First one was mid at best, second one was trash
>>223594622Its just like avatar movies, all eyecandy with shit story, monkey king is old as fuck just like pocahontas in space.
>>223594622Sounds chinese alright
The overload of new characters in the second one even pushed them to put in name tags for all of them, even the guys with only two lines.
>>223594656>monkey kingIt's nothing about that, anon.Nothing about monkeys or monkey kings in those movies. We see more dragons and feline demons than monkeys.
>>223594547In fairness, chinese audiences will routinely gobble up the most vapid CGI shit just because it's CGI shit. For the longest time them and the indians were the only things keeping Marvel alive, which is why they tried to pander to them with shit like Shang Chi.For something like this to reach such obscene numbers though, it'd have to be them either putting out some shit that said it was every citizen's civic duty to watch this crap or (more likely) they're just making shit up because nobody's got the means to fact check it.
>>223594763Same thing with dragon ball anon, based on the same myth.
>>223594656>>223594763Nezha's not the Monkey King, he's the Lotus Prince, and he's got fire wheels on his feet or some crap instead of a magic cloud.He might also be a trap but that could just be the version in FGO
>>223594809You are a retard
I don't get all the seethe. They're much better movies than Avatard, pixshart and the K-pop thots.
