Title says it all.
Because it’s a popular movie with a catchy soundtrack that has a Grammy nominated song that was number one on the Billboard Top 100? It’s not like they’re pushing an obscure art film released solely for a run at an Oscar.
Sony makes the money. Just like they did with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and countless other products of Sony Animation.
Yeah, I’m confused on why they wouldn’t push KPop Demon Hunters. People like it.
It’s also really funny that Disney blamed their fans for not supporting original content after Elio flopped. Then KPop Demon Hunters comes crashing in and is popular as fuck.
Disney: Lol. People want sexless Mary Sues who are forced diversity failures that girl bosses their way to the top. Why are our movies failing?
Microsoft: Let’s release the same slop and ignore improvements. What could possibly happen?
Ryan Coogler: Umm mostly black cast here. Nothing forced about anything here. And the story is great!
Sony: Well Korean girls who are cringy as fuck, cry when hurt, depend on each other, and are still badasses resonate.
Sandfall studios: People actually want single player games with compelling stories that are actually fun.
Disney: ???
Microsoft: ???
Warner Bros: ???
It’s a good movie, I watched it with the kids, we all liked it. Children like it as much as they did Frozen back then.
It’s one of the very few original movies nowadays which doesn’t just reheat some old franchise, so I’m all for it to succeed and show that it’s worth to make new original movies.
my only complaint with it is the same complaint I have with all kpop: it’s autotuned to hell and back. I suppose many people like how it sounds, but it’s not for me
Original? It’s Korean Frozen, and Frozen wasn’t original either.
Is it tho? Only one character is developed… and her story is to accept her demon side, and then ban all demons?
Also the first enemies in the movie say they are here to attack the fans, then the next demons do the same thing.
Their bodies are proportioned like barbie, their ankles would break under them if they were made in real life proportions.
Its got one arguably catchy song…about nothing.
This feels like the backstreet boys, who pushed one 1-2 songs hard for years. They danced, they marketed, they were used by the industry and spit out.
I mean kpop demon hunter were on snl and Macy’s day parade. Next is Disney, new years eve in that stupid time square (check out Dubai nye online, way better), and grocery store play lists.
It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.
For Bladerunner for example:
Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.
Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”
The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.
And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.
I think it’s terrible too, but if people like it, I won’t yuck their yum.
ppl like it. welcome to Earth.
Contrary to popular belief, Kpop demon hunters is actually insanely good and deserves the accolades it’s receiving.
Best movie - Sinners.
Best animated movie - Kpop demon hunters.
Best game - Expedition 33.
i thought it was fine with the exception that it seemed to me like some plot was being skipped near the end. it’s good when viewed together with other people though.
They trimmed 30 minutes from the end. That’s why it felt rushed.
Edit: It was supposed to be an actual fight between Rumi and Celine. Also, Celine was supposed to disclose she accidently killed Rumi’s mom trying to kill Rumi’s dad. And Jinu and Rumi were supposed to kiss before he faded. Stuff like that. Also, there was supposed to be 5 minutes of Zoes back story involving her being brutally bullied in America for liking kpop, explaining her need to be a people pleaser.
Sony and Netflix do. It’s not about how good or bad something is. If it gets viral/popular, they will milk it as much as they can.
Ty!
Sometimes people like things that you don’t. If don’t like it, don’t waste your time trying to figure it out. Move on and let others enjoy things they like.
I’m gonna have to assume the creators and producers make money off this
I am about tired of K-Pop everything.
Its like backstreet boys and nsync.
Awesome?
Netflix
Oh boy… there’s some symbolism in it. It’s this: https://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/the-occult-symbolism-of-kpop-demon-hunters-and-its-messages-about-the-music-industry/
Only for those who dare dive into the symbolism of it. I did so, and holy spit…
So let me see if I understand; a movie about Korean and Korean-adjacent pop stars who have existed throughout the ages to fend off spiritual/mythological beings, features Korean spirituality/mythological figures and symbolism.
You don’t say…
Next you’re gonna tell me it’s set in Korea!!
Wow, that site is unhinged. Also, that article feels like it’s been heavily rewritten by AI, if not pure ai slop. Normally I enjoy crazy paranoid rants about demonic symbolism on cereal boxes, or whatever, but that article was shallow and vacuous.
It’s not too late to seek therapy.
