Two widely followed Chinese public figures — one an editor for a state media outlet, the other the son of a former party chief — released identical outlines on Tuesday of countermeasures Chinese authorities are said to be considering in response to Trump's tariffs.

That would actually be a net positive as films wouldn't be censored to appease daddy China.

Also films would have lower budgets.

Better if they weren’t censored to appease daddy MIC

Thank goodness they're taking the politics out of movies!

Takes a billion dollars to portray the US military as really cool and badass

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today -4 points 2 months ago

False dichotomy. Not being censored by China doesn't mean being funded/influenced by the US.

Just in time to be censored to appease chief cheeto

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

Also as hollywood gets dunked upon, other film industries have a chance of growth.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 27 points 2 months ago

Dude, just pirate them and put them in the theaters. Or shit, make them the friday night movie on TV broadcast.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

That would be hilarious.

They can have my views too. I ain’t watching shit from America if I can help it.

[-] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Pirate them. Steal your cake and eat it too.

[-] kitnaht@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I like this idea even better. China pirates them, plays them in theatres, takes the money generated from them anyways, lol

Finally American superheroes will no longer need to go to Shanghai and work with a heroic PLA special agent to save the world.

[-] tane@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago

Yup they can just collab with the heroic and completely unproblematic CIA and our boys in blue

[-] blame@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I think you mean All American Heroes in Blue

[-] jack@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

a heroic PLA special agent

Is there a specific movie where this happens because I would like to watch it?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Marvel slop in shambles.

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 5 points 1 month ago

Oh god no what will they do without modern Hollywood movies these days

[-] EatPotatoes@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

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
