And trying to be over-inclusive in everything they do

2019-01-05 22:04:41 UTC  

they wanted to get that asia money

2019-01-05 22:04:50 UTC  

like movie studios are doing now

2019-01-05 22:04:58 UTC  

movies aren't made for Americans

2019-01-05 22:05:00 UTC  

That's why I jumped ship on WoW

2019-01-05 22:05:03 UTC  

they're made for Asia

2019-01-05 22:05:19 UTC  

Once I saw Blizzard ruin WoW I knew the rest would be hisory

2019-01-05 22:05:22 UTC  

yeah? how are they asia adapted?

2019-01-05 22:05:43 UTC  

because the formula for making movies is applied to what sells best in asia

2019-01-05 22:05:52 UTC  

but whats the formula?

2019-01-05 22:05:58 UTC  

i havent paid attention

2019-01-05 22:06:06 UTC  

emoji movie apps were the ones big in asia

2019-01-05 22:06:18 UTC  

over the top action with no plot

2019-01-05 22:06:18 UTC  

yeah the emoji movie was awful

2019-01-05 22:06:26 UTC  

they knew that shit was tanking on these shores

2019-01-05 22:06:31 UTC  

i always assumed that was the american standard

2019-01-05 22:06:44 UTC  

Americans don't go to the movies anymore

2019-01-05 22:06:45 UTC  

Wait the Emoji movie did well in Asia?

2019-01-05 22:06:48 UTC  

80s movies define the american standard

2019-01-05 22:06:50 UTC  

imo

2019-01-05 22:06:55 UTC  

i don't know if it did well

2019-01-05 22:07:10 UTC  

i just know it focused on apps the chinese use a lot more than americans

2019-01-05 22:07:31 UTC  

wasnt the 80s a lot of over the top action with no plot?

2019-01-05 22:07:35 UTC  

no

2019-01-05 22:07:38 UTC  

sometimes

2019-01-05 22:07:44 UTC  

bladerunner, the thing, alien

2019-01-05 22:07:49 UTC  

all super plot heavy

2019-01-05 22:07:53 UTC  

alien was 76

2019-01-05 22:07:58 UTC  

aliens was 80s

2019-01-05 22:08:06 UTC  

either movie you could use as an example

2019-01-05 22:08:11 UTC  

aliens was better than the first imo

2019-01-05 22:08:16 UTC  

but they are remembered because they were the diamond classics
the question is what the bland norm was

2019-01-05 22:08:59 UTC  

there were definitely shitty 80s movies, but i'd say on average, they were better and more thought provoking than modern films

2019-01-05 22:09:13 UTC  

but that isnt really saying much

2019-01-05 22:09:26 UTC  

i do notice the coward trend of just trying to remake the classics

2019-01-05 22:09:31 UTC  

red letter media pointed out that the new Mummy movie with cruise was definitely made for asia first, with lots of scenes that had narration over them with no one's mouth moving in the shot

2019-01-05 22:09:32 UTC  

exactly

2019-01-05 22:09:33 UTC  

That's 100% a lens you're seeing through. Wait 20 years and look back on 2000s/2010s movies and pick out the good ones.

2019-01-05 22:09:46 UTC  

there's a reason why 80% of modern films are remakes
