Chinese pandering in Hollywood films is really weird, because it's just making Chinese cities like Shenzhen or Shanghai the go to places to get blown up.

My favourite is still 47 Ronin, where they took a historical event that's been filmed many times and made a weird Americanized wuxia epic out of it. It's like Fantasy Mission Force with a $175 million budget.

I'm not a movie guy, evidence being the only Chinese pandering I've seen recently was The Martian, which made the Chinese space program look like it really has its poo poo together



I dunno. What other media has China in it? My brother was playing CKII and became a Chinese tributary state. It worked out for the best overall and his Buddhist kingdom in India got a lot of money out of it.

He didn't have much of a choice though

sticking donnie yen in a film isn't pandering. the problem with rogue one is that its terrible and should have just been a star wars martial arts film starring donnie yen

rogue one was really good, it's just that it was one of those classic war/heist movies

where we don't bother even pretending any character is going to get an arc, you get your two lines of characterization and then your valiant sacrifice
