Oh god no what will they do without modern Hollywood movies these days
Good. Let their own cinema thrive.
I'm worried I soon won't see American media in Canada anymore........and that if I do, it'll all be whitewashed and remove all diversity
Surprised pikachu face
Finally American superheroes will no longer need to go to Shanghai and work with a heroic PLA special agent to save the world.
a heroic PLA special agent
Is there a specific movie where this happens because I would like to watch it?
Yup they can just collab with the heroic and completely unproblematic CIA and our boys in blue
I think you mean All American Heroes in Blue
Pirate them. Steal your cake and eat it too.
I like this idea even better. China pirates them, plays them in theatres, takes the money generated from them anyways, lol
That would actually be a net positive as films wouldn't be censored to appease daddy China.
Also films would have lower budgets.
Also as hollywood gets dunked upon, other film industries have a chance of growth.
Imagine if we had gotten a storm trooper turned Jedi instead of yet another desert orphan for the star wars sequels, like all the promotional materials before the first movie seemed to hint at.
Kyle Katarn was a better story than anything Disney can do
Just in time to be censored to appease chief cheeto
Better if they werenβt censored to appease daddy MIC
Agreed lol
Mic?
Military industrial complex.
:3
Thank goodness they're taking the politics out of movies!
Takes a billion dollars to portray the US military as really cool and badass
False dichotomy. Not being censored by China doesn't mean being funded/influenced by the US.
They can have my views too. I ainβt watching shit from America if I can help it.
Dude, just pirate them and put them in the theaters. Or shit, make them the friday night movie on TV broadcast.
That would be hilarious.
