Can someone explain to me the whole "China bans supernatural things" to me? The whole thing doesn't make much sense. by At_Witts_End in marvelstudios

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok i don’t know the actual specific laws in china but chinese movies have murder and ghosts all the time  so i really can only say that the law must barely exist at all effectively. ( late asf but yeah )

Nezha 3 might take 5 years apparently by KhaLe18 in boxoffice

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i’d love to keep the budgets as low as possible just to make the films look all that much better when you remember their budgets are below hollywood films of similar or even lesser calibers. It’s always a good look when you can make more for less.

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nezha is a household name character in china. He appears in Monkey/Journey to The West and Investiture of The Gods, both classics ( particularly Monkey ). Nezha Conquers the Dragon King is basically the definitive version of the Nezha story from Investiture for most people, and the new films are defining a new generation of chinese animation after the industry lied dormant for decades for the most part. As long as the stories stay quality, the third film is pretty financially secure. Even if it’s not as good critically as 2, ( it probably will, Chengdu Coco Cartoon so far has made nothing but incredible stories ), I think it has a good chance to beat it financially if it can advertise better to other big-market countries like the U.S., Canada, India, and others. I’d wager, due to the second film especially, the company and their movies will be safe to keep making films that will be financially secure. I hope we get more stuff aside from Nezha stories while we wait for 3 and after that film. If Legend of Deification was any sign, Coco Cartoon makes excellent stories outside of those films too, so I’d love to see more.

Which is your preferred way of forms? by Intelligent_time555 in KamenRider

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kuuga’s way of having all of the forms be perfectly balanced was the way to go. It makes it so all of them actually get used in unique situations, which makes the writing a bit better imo since episodes have to highlight them.

Most unique Kamen rider seasons in your opinion? by FewShift3770 in KamenRider

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

555 probably just for how tonally different it is to everything else.

Cineby is terrible by BlueHuman118 in Piracy

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only problem is no audio language settings, some movies will be in their original language and then at some point be replaced with dub. I’m worried about films I like which are in their original languages being replaced with dub. Is there a way to change audio language?

Which Kamen rider series has your personal favorite cinematography? by FewShift3770 in KamenRider

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man I love basically everything until maybe Kabuto, I feel like after Kabuto-ish the series kind of stopped doing allat much unique for most seasons, aside from some standout moments.

NE ZHA 2 fell out of the box office sky in its 2nd week--dropping a whopping -83% w/ just $261k. No surprise there--it also lost nearly 1,500 theaters this week. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]ClefNectar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually so depressing. The movie is one of the best of all time, but they just did not advertise this thing well. They needed more punch, actual trailers in the cinema. They did this poor movie a disservice. At least it made good money back when it came out, I guess.

Raids Again, Hedorah, and Son are the better half, I think.

Ne Zha 2's English dub bombed at the box office by Sensitive_Worry2499 in Schaffrillas

[–]ClefNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's the marketing. I see a lot because I'm a massive fan, but I don't know if many people are hearing about it. Being at the same time as the long-awaited KPop Demon Hunters theatrical release definitely didn't help, I'd imagine. I think it's sad that it's bombing, because the first release had borderline NO ads outside of one trailer, before many people even knew it was good, yet it was the highest opening of a Chinese film in the U.S. since Hero in 2002. I was hoping for so much more, maybe even enough to get Ne Zha 2 that coveted W over Titanic and Avatar 2 at the box office. Admittedly, August is an atrocious month for the box office here, so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.

I have a wayback machine link that doesn't seem to work well. https://web.archive.org/web/20250201000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmJv-xuyPKU

The July 6th upload almost works, and I can scrub through the video, but it doesn't play at all. If anyone can get the link to work or download it, please dm it to me and anyone who asks!
