maybe someone somewhere in an office in China decided the multiverse thing was too confusing after their kid tried to get them to watch a later MCU film
ok I looked into it and basically all 4 got blocked independently for various reasons
I remember some news articles from a few years ago where the media claimed China banned time travel and ghosts? I mean :parenti: but it might have a grain of truth in regards to some guideline or another.
Considering that China has a long history of folklore involving animistic spirits and ghosts it's probably a good move: prevent superstitious stuff from flourishing in the countryside and promote scientific materialism instead.
I think it might just be protectionism in order to benefit domestic film producers, this has been a policy of theirs for a while that they've recently doubled down on.
