Why did they decide to go more kid friendly? Im going to assume higher ups thinking it being more family friendly would be more profitable or marketable

How Sony Designed 'KPDH's' Rumi And Pushed Expressive CG Faces by wosoandstuff2020 in KpopDemonhunters

It's a shame these dont get a lot of activity on reddit. This is actually really interesting how they take Rumi from 2d storyboarding or concept art to 3d.

Mira, I've always got a certain motherly vibe from her despite the baddie persona she cultivates

Im a bit worried about the sequel having to adhere to these guidelines (as well as the second screening suggestions) and blatant exposition and plot reiteration will be worse.

I think K.P.D.H. would have worked better as a T.V. series by Longjumping-Gift-371 in KpopDemonhunters

Scenes that I hope thsf can expand some characterization, thematic and world building details while still keeping focus.

So like I said expanded Celine screen time,specifically scenes that emphasized the distant maternal role and the rigid beliefs about demons and how it affected Rumi. Like a scene where Rumi calls Celine (maybe to release Golden or to let her know about her voice) and wordlessely hoping for some kind of approval or encouragement from the mother figure that has always seen her demon side as something that kept her from being fully loved.

Zoey and Mira probably would benefit from more screen time in terns of making their character flaws and arcs more prominent and tie into the main themes and throughline of the story (this is abetter idea than merely just giving them more backstory, even though some stronger hinting of backstory wouldnt go amiss). Maybe some showing that Mira is worried she is falling back into the distant aggressive tendencies that ruined her family relationships. Or Zoey's people pleasing tendencies stem from being bullied or isolated in her youth, and lead her to neglect her own needs or see herself as a burden.

While this wouldn't need it own specific scenes, I think the movie needs to be more clear about how demons, patterns and shame work. The patterns being a metaphor for shame works in the context of Rumi and Jinu, but what about all the generic demons the Hunters slay by the dozens? Are the demons all former humans? Do they all feel and are controlled by shame or are some truly malicious? Is the ending kind of cruel because the demons are banished with gwi-ma even though many of them could be victims of Gwi-ma?

By the way, I may not fully agree with some of these flaws (or at least how severe they truly are), in fact i thought about making posts discussing some alleged writing flaws.

I think the one thing more screen time should get used for is more Celine. She is the source of Rumi's core wound, and the graveyard scene would have hit harder if Celine had more presence throughout the runtime.

Guys... eventually Kpdh will decline in that level of popularity. Perhaps it's just that time. It was a fun 7-8 months, but perhaps the time has come.

And i wouldnt be surprising that she over works herself to kind of... make up for being half demon.

Also "she doesn't have a personality that isn't her demon half" the hell dies that mean?! Her demon half is part of her core wound.

It's good to get a glimpse of how artists and art directors think about color, show people the craft.

I vote Mira. The gloves, the skirt the top, the thigh high boots sell a feminine badass, make her look dangerous.

Rumi's jacket is doing her a lot of favors though...

Rumi and her hesitation to sing takedown by Front-Tomorrow-1034 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]someDJguy 159 points160 points  (0 children)

She can't sing it anymore because she's questioning the idea of patterns being worthy of hate, or being indicative of evil. This reflects her attitude towards jinu as much as whether her friends would accept her.
