makes sense, being squeezed between WW2 and Vietnam

It was pretty obvious that they didn't know where to go after the WW2 arc so they squeezed it in right after. It didn't really go anywhere though and everyone memory holed it

Nah the Brits are very cunning. They are open to bargain anything. When China was organizing the AIIB, the Brits ditched Obama and joined in for more business.

Right now the Brits are just playing along with the Yanks to get a FTA. Plus they will get a piece of the pie when the Yanks stole the mega submarine contract from the French.

When poo poo hits the fan they will claim "waterleak" and call in sick. This has already happened in one of their carriers.

I haven't watched any Chinese movie in years but I bet that movie is better than "Animal-Man" by Marvel Cinematic Universe brought to you by Disney.

to me the accusation read more like “the CCP bought each of its members a ticket to the movie opening weekend to inflate the box office” which is an even more ridiculous thing to complain about

generally I agree with keeping movies solidly under 2 hours but when you’re making a film about a two week long cataclysmic battle against global imperial forces I think it deserves an inflated runtime

it's always worth mentioning: outside of maybe Hungary, the rest of the western world thinks that the US saying 'sorry about the fuckup in Kabul, we won't do anything like that again, instead of going back into the Middle East we're going to gear up for war with China' is loving bonkers

nobody wants to go to war with China outside the US

Nobody really wants to go to war, but right now there join training/exercises being held by like seven countries with Pacific navies, which is clearly a level of saber-rattling/response to China. Everyone in the region is wary of China.

In a proper capitalist country they'd have added more filler and then broken it up into three movies.

It's hilarious probability that in the event of a war China will sink an American carrier group, which only makes how badly the UK will get owned being a footnote even more hilarious

remember how an insane cult spent 50 million dollars in 1980 money to make 'Inchon', an absolutely poo poo garbage movie about the titular Battle of Inchon, in which a decrepit Laurence Olivier plays Douglas MacArthur and he's portrayed as an infallible badass super-genius demigod and everyone else in the movie is a giant buffoon.

the US military let them use thousands of actual soldiers as extras and contributed a US Navy ship for the filming, too. it was like Battlefield Earth with the full backing of the US government.

it made back less than 10% of its budget and was so bad it was never released on home video, even though VHS releases were already common by the time it left theaters. it's now almost impossible to find, except in the form of very low quality bootlegs.

Ronald Reagan screened it in the White House and loved it so much he wrote about it in his diary, lmao.
