Since I've met more than once person whining about Age of Ultron pandering to China because of the truck chase and the Dr. Cho character (a scene filmed in South Korea and a Korean character) I think it should be a requirement. Like have literally heard people say Iron Man 3 was ruined because there's a cut of the movie 10,000 miles away where a doctor is on screen for five seconds like dude it's Iron Man 3 it's already pandering incarnate.

I wonder if it's an attempt to find a cinematic justification for wanting movies they like be lily white across the board.

Part of the globalization is because it's cool to get extra money from the box office of other countries, and part of it is you can blow up New York only so many times before it gets even more boring. At least they are tossing cars around in Korea, Africa, and fictitious Balkan countries than the usual US cities.

Actually you'll find that in Dr. Strange they were able to get to and save Hong Kong "in time."  But for real ANY time I speak to anyone who cares deeply about China pandering or whatever, it always comes down to them just not wanting non-white people in their precious genre movies.

The Saddest Rhino posted:Yeah if he did ID 2 we would never get Collateral Beauty It's a shame ID4-2 was bad. The trailer had two lines that seemed so self aware: the one where the alien mothership landed "everywhere" in the Atlantic and the Goldblum line about the aliens targeting landmarks. Plus the whole alternate history thing where Earth used alien tech to become XCOM. At least they have the KLCC in there. Woo, Malaysia Boleh etc. On to movie news: Fast & Furious series producer Neal Moritz is making a movie starring Donnie Yen. It's also a video game movie, and the casting of Donnie Yen is pretty much perfect. Sleeping Dogs! For reference, this is how the game plays like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atFhl7af4wc

Battle Angel is one of my favorite comics ever so I was hype for this until it turned out Rodriguez was directing. But the cast is amazing so far.

It was published by Square Enix, they lean so heavily on their Western studios to subsidize their Japanese devs' wastefulness that games like Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider and Deux Ex can be bestsellers that sell millions of units and still be considered failures because it still wasn't enough to get them out of the hole they had dug themselves into. http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/26/4148780/square-enix-missed-sales-targets-sleeping-dogs-hitman-absolution-tomb-raider

More money is cool, submitting to the whims of a lovely oppressive government to get more money isnt. I dont care about having asians in scenes or scenes in Asia im general. I'm actually firmly in the "diversity is good" camp, and i am also firmly in the "gently caress the chinese government i really dont care how much money theyre getting, changing stories and self censorship to legally distribute your products there is morally wrong" camp. Im talking about things done specifically with chinese censors in mind. I find it irritating that i need to even make the distinction as i thought most people outside of China were on the same page about how lame chinese censorship is on a good day and outright loving terrible and orwellian it is on a bad day.
