A Department of Defense document reportedly reveals that the agency has updated its policy to refuse to advise any movie that will be altered for Chinese censors.

I'm linking the article but the actual dunk is on redditors who see this and cheer, completely ignoring that this is an extension of how much power/influence the American military has over hollywood film. Want to film anything that might have the military in it? You gotta play ball babyyyy! Ever notice how weirdly patriotic and jingoistic almost every film that features a tank is? They played ball babbyyyy!!!

there was a good comment on reddit at least though https://old.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/14o3xt8/defense_department_declares_it_wont_work_with/jqbfo50/

    That kind of happens in the first one before Optimus helps them out. In general it's shown that they get their asses kicked if Autobots aren't around until the fifth film, and even then its because they've got Galvatron on side.
