    lol this means marvel will stop taking pentagon money to access the Chinese market

    all this will do is give us more movies without western propaganda, and a few movies that are intensely propagandistic

      Having just finished a binge of the latest Marvel slop, I'd say if they're smart they'll bet on China

      The only good Marvel movie in phase 4 was Shang Chi and it wasn't even close

      I wanted to like Multiverse of Madness but it was just bleh, Wakanda Forever was a mixed bag that ended up a bit better than the first Black Panther but still not great

      I went into Shang Chi cautiously optimistic with an emphasis on the caution but I was kinda blown away. I was dreading it being filled with anti-communist and anti-China propaganda but thankfully there was none to be found because the suits understood that they needed the Chinese market for this movie to ever be successful

      Sure maybe it would just be average as a kung fu movie but as a Marvel movie it was vastly better than the other slop

          Didn't know that but it also makes sense that China would prefer movies about their culture to be their own and foreign films to be something else

          Still a pretty good movie for Marvel slop

        I really liked the sick Kung Fu Hustle homage at the climax of the film.
