That's why I jumped ship on WoW
they're made for Asia
Once I saw Blizzard ruin WoW I knew the rest would be hisory
yeah? how are they asia adapted?
because the formula for making movies is applied to what sells best in asia
but whats the formula?
i havent paid attention
emoji movie apps were the ones big in asia
over the top action with no plot
yeah the emoji movie was awful
they knew that shit was tanking on these shores
i always assumed that was the american standard
Americans don't go to the movies anymore
Wait the Emoji movie did well in Asia?
80s movies define the american standard
imo
i don't know if it did well
i just know it focused on apps the chinese use a lot more than americans
wasnt the 80s a lot of over the top action with no plot?
no
bladerunner, the thing, alien
all super plot heavy
alien was 76
aliens was 80s
either movie you could use as an example
aliens was better than the first imo
but they are remembered because they were the diamond classics
the question is what the bland norm was
there were definitely shitty 80s movies, but i'd say on average, they were better and more thought provoking than modern films
but that isnt really saying much
i do notice the coward trend of just trying to remake the classics
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
exactly
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.
there's a reason why 80% of modern films are remakes
a lot of classic 50s films were remakes of silent 30s films
dont know much about 50s movies
besides like, astro boy
i think that was 50s?
