Thread 149418416

I never cared for K-Pop Demon Hunters, that film is pure slop geared towards anime and k-pop tweens, idk why everyone’s gassing this shit up, it has the same quality of writing as a shitty Disney Channel movie. Why do we all love K-Pop all of the sudden? That trash was loathed by the general public two years ago.

Influencing more teenyslop films is gonna do nothing but plunge western animations reputation down even further. What’s next? I-Pad Kid Ghost Catchers? Discord Mod Dragon Killers? Oh well I guess nobody gives a shit about the state of the filming industry since tons of people gave the Minecraft Movie attention "ironically" and now it’s getting a sequel, OOPS!

Great animation and solid characters. Good characters can always prop up a shaky plot and this movie has a strong main cast.

>>149418416 (OP)
Maybe you should stop watching kids cartoons and do something else then anon. There's still time.

>>149418416 (OP)
Tbh a lot of anime movies are made for teens and young adults.

Uh...no it wasn't. Where the fuck have you been? I'm not personally a K-Pop fan and this film isn't for me, but I can 100% understand why it blew the fuck up and why there will likely be at least one sequel (if not more). K-Pop has been absolutely massive for quite awhile now.

>>149418629
NTA, but I suppose everything has to do with context. If the show is set in Korea, then Koreans wouldn't be minorities.

Animated movies shouldn't be movies 'just for kids'
>which translates to shitty movies because kids will eat anything like the tiny retards they are
animated movies should just be movies which are animated
and Kpop demon hunters understood their assignment
while at some point Pixar and Disney went from hero to zero
>and now Sony is supposed to save animation

>>149418451
>Great animation and solid characters
This, basically. Plus, the music and action were really fun, and it had a positive, encouraging message for modern youths.

>>149418416 (OP)
You're an idiot lol

>>149418416 (OP)
>why are they making kids’ movies that kids actually like rarrrghhh!!?!


I can remember when I was a child in elementary school, like 7 or 8, everything I wanted was “for teens”: sitcoms with teenage characters, PG 13 movies, clothes from the mall from teen stores, merch and music from teenager bands, toys for teens, cartoons and video games with ‘mature’ ratings, etc etc.

Took me until I was a full grown adult looking back on it to realize that most of that stuff was always being marketed towards younger kids too, the ratings were just to make parents more comfortable with some of the edginess. Making your cartoon kid friendly while dressing it up in stuff trendy with teenagers is just good marketing, even if you’re an adult and the trends are weird and scary to you, you gotta respect the tactic for what it is. Every child wants to be cool like their older sibling/ friends’ older sibling.

>>149418583
Zoe and arguably Rumi are both happas.

>>149418465
>watch shows made for "adults"

every fucking time

>>149418781
Hence why I said Asian-Americans.

>>149418815

Holy fuck

I don't give a shit about k-pop but it was a reasonably fun watch

>>149418416 (OP)
>Why do we all love K-Pop
I don't. It just sounds like wiggerfied Jpop, which I didn't like in the first place.

Huh. I thought OP made pretty reasonable statements. Didn't expect such violent reactions.

>>149418416 (OP)
I just found out that my 9yo nephew watched this, is there anything in this movie that could mess him up?

>>149418986
You said voiced by asian americans. Zoe as a character canonically is korean american. I don’t want to come off as so anal about it, but for the purpose of figuring out the movie’s minority rep status, there’s a slight distinction. As an american movie made for americans I’m sure nobody really cares that Zoe is half american and grew up in america but became a korean pop star in korea. But I think from a korean cultural perspective, Zoe’s status as a foreigner, which classes her as a minority, is important.

And then you got Rumi’s whole backstory, and you could read a lot of metaphorical racial stuff there.

>>149419159
He might catch the yellow fever but that’s not exactly a bad thing.

>>149419159

Oh okay so did you make this the-
>*Anon proceeds to explain why he care that it's successful and what it's implications are for the industry*
People need to learn that dislike isn't the same as true apathy. It's okay you don't like the show, but it's clear you do care for it if only on that it's successfulness is a bad thing. Not defending the show, I haven't seen it outside the trailer but words have meaning.

>>149418416 (OP)
You are misunderstanding the argument, anon. Kpop demon hunters itself may be cringe as a concept, but the fact that it is servicing a largely ignored demographic in western animation is undeniable.
You want to know why anime keeps winning and cartoons keep losing? Its because cartoons only have two genres: silly fart jokes for kids, and cynical fart jokes for adults that say "fuck". Other genres and the teen/young adult age demo largely only have anime as an option.

Look at the success and recognize that this is filling a void. You think its shit? Make something better that fills that void then.

>>149419088
OP is an incoherent tirade against music he doesn't personally like

>>149418815
>mature media has mature themes
>this is bad for some reason

>>149419273
there were burp jokes and other meme jokes in this too. There's nothing "mature" about KPDH

The faces in this film are shit, uncanny valley, pale imitations of anime, and only made for the purpose of making memes rather than adding to the natural expressiveness of the animation.

If I ever have a kid I’m showing them stuff that does expressive animation right like Ren & Stimpy, The Patrick Star Show, or heck even Hotel Transylvania to show how to properly do exaggerated 3D animation. Gen alpha is fucked cause they think this "quirky" shit qualifies is what qualifies as wacky these days, should’ve advertised The Day the Earth Blew Up better…

>>149419306
Anon. Listen to me, please. This isn't actually about the movie. Nothing that happens in it matters or is relevant to this argument. None of the movie's contents relates to the discussion of the teen/young adult demographic being woefully underserved and this showing that there is a genuine opportunity there.

Okay question:

I keep seeing everywhere KPop Demo Hunters getting called a “show.” At first I just thought a few individual ppl were confused and mistook it for a series, but it keeps happening over and over, even from more official looking sources. But it’s clearly a feature length movie.

What’s up with that?

who is out here thinking teens don't have a market? My point still stands there's nothing new about KPDM. It's literally just an anime with goofy kid shit in it. Jem did this 40 years ago

>>149419300
I forgot this is a tranny board, I will moderate what I type from now this point forward. You are valid, you are heard. I see you, I hear you.

>>149419361
People know it exists from clips and online discussion but haven't seen it themselves and assume its a series.

>>149419273
Is it really filling that much of a void when it’s indistinguishable from “true anime” to any casual viewer? I can’t imagine my normie aunts or even their kids as seeing this as not anime.

>>149419361
where are the pits :(

idk man, like 95% of the popular things are garbage all the time

Reminder that any retard who says the words "grubhub" and "slop" as means of criticism is a clueless retard and his opinion is worthless

>>149418624
Yet it's about something actually interesting so people liked it, it even has cute girls doing cool things so boys get their puberty kickstarted like with Totally Spies

Elio meanwhile is about training kids to get groomed on Discord

it's that simple

>>149418647
Pretty much the first one. Think “If Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a Pop Star Idol.”

There are demons hunting the pop stars, but mostly out of self defense. The demons also hunt and eat regular people.

>>149419497
Buffy was shit and ruined media for decades.

>>149419503
yes but it saved a family from dying in a tornado. what modern show can claim that?

>>149419432
I’m not a fan of the films look but I wouldn’t call it "GrubHub style", the point of that criticism is how it’s clear that animated films are being forced to look bad just so they’re cheaper and earn more money, they’re either being forced to look beanmouth like Pixar’s modern films, or they’re a pale attempt at doing the "2D-like 3D style" like the new Smurfs and Cat in the Hat films.

If I’m giving one positive about the style of K-Slop Demon Hunters at least looks like it had artistic integrity going for it, even if it failed completely in the final product, at least they didn’t go with that shit beanmouth style

>>149419046
Femminism is childish bullshit

>>149419503
Okay, it’s a good thing you don’t plan to watch KPDH then.

>>149419384
It’s weird cause i was even verbally talking with a friend who im pretty sure said “hey i watched that show too!” And I do believe them when they say they watched it, but it seems like calling it a show caught on for them for some reason.

Iunno, maybe im paranoid. Feels like Netflix is trying to market the franchise so hard they have preemptively started calling it a show in hopes of getting a series greenlit.

>>149419597
I could see that. Honestly, I can think of worse models for Netflix than 'release a movie, treat it as a pilot'.

>>149418416 (OP)
It feels like everything Netflix releases becomes the most watched thing in the history of the platform
They do this song and dance every time a big new show or movie gets releases

>>149419534
To (You)

Don't let the unrelenting, massive and undeniable success of K-Pop Demon Hunters distract you from the fact Netflix is also quietly shitting out the last season of Sandman because Neil Gaiman is a cancelled male feminist(a sex pest)

I really liked Wish Dragon, Sea Beast, and Over the Moon, but none of those are comparable to Demon Hunter’s success.

People loved the Black Music Demon Hunters movie, it just had a snappier title.

wtf are you talking about? who cares about the hair?

Because I’m talking about how Zoey is from Burbank and Rumi is a half human half demon hybrid.

Did you watch the movie?

>>149419942
I get why people call it a "From Dusk Till Dawn", because the similarities are clearly there in concept, but Sinners is such a vastly better done movie that the comparison drags it down.

Huh. If I had a nickel for every hit movie released in 2025 that was about celebrating cultural heritage and used the metaphor of defeating evil demons through the magical power of music and song to express that, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.

>>149419372
It isn't

>>149420528
>celebrating cultural heritage
I think it's dumb to say that about the movie. Celebrating that aspect or being annoyed by it is shallow because it's just the theme and setting. Like New England witchcraft superstitions in horror or the concept of a Christmas movie set in America is hardly a celebration of cultural heritage. It gives the impression that you come into this suspiciously and see Korean words and mythology as a celebration rather than the same shit as Grimm fairy tales.

>>149420813
>chuds lost
you are aware chuds love non-white women, right?

>>149420812
It is a movie about a mixed race girl learning to accept herself for who she is and accept she is not a hopeless evil monster just because her father is a different race from her mother. Maybe celebrate is a strong word for it, maybe “embrace” works better in Rumi’s case. But she does learn to embrace her heritage, she learns that accepting that she is half her father doesn’t mean she is less worthy of her mother’s legacy. It’s just that her paternal heritage just happens to be represented through metaphor.

>>149420184
C’mon blacks girls can be really damn hot, look at Malaika Berenth Mosendane for example, you might be saying "who the fuck is this actress faggot" and I say to that: I don’t know either, just look at this fucking nude ENF scene with her

Look at her thick ass, I’ve nutted to this scene 3 times in one day once, nobody could say no to that shit, blacks and latinas are the shit

>>149420898
>mixed race
In any other western media she'd be half vampire or some shit. "Accepting all of yourself" is universal and in my cynical snarking I was leaning towards gay shit since demons = sin. I disagree with that notion too, but that's the reflex I shoved off and landed at the more common "accepting yourself" moral.

>>149420163
Would eating better and not drinking coca cola like it's water prevent this? Or is it just their fate to turn into fat goblins?

>>149421027
There are milfy hot latinas, the secret is stopping at two kids and good diet and excercise

Didn't read the OP but sex with Zoey.

>>149420995
Agree to disagree, I guess. Your reading is fine too.

I get the point that some of the theming is so universal that you could reskin it in a lot of different cultures and still have the same basic story, or that the metaphors are so vague that you could derive multiple different lessons.

But I also don’t think that discounts the intentional choice to set the movie in korea, or the interpretation that that choice means that korean history in particular can and should impact the messaging you could read from it.

>>149421097
And in this conversation I've considered that too, but it's like if you want a kpop movie about demon hunters, setting it in Korea and tapping into Korean folklore to make regional Van Helsings just makes sense. Nothing seems intended beyond that. Any celebration of heritage is the same celebration of Egyptian heritage in The Mummy movies.

>>149420868
whatever helps you sleep at night retard

>>149421167
You're right, look at this one, grrrrrrrrrr I'm so le hecking angry over it

>>149421135
The Mummy movies are about white westerners defeating ancient evil heathen witchcraft. So, it’s a pretty apt metaphor for Egyptian history, it’s just a pro imperialist one, in line with the old pulp adventure serials that inspired them.

>>149419159
The film features terribly problematic scenes of female characters lusting after men that could reinforce heteronormative ideas, I suggest you make him watch Elio asap to counteract this.

I just think it's funny how it paints the k-pop industry in a positive light when in reality it's a whole different beast.

What's with right wingers and republicans with AI generated images? You fuckers love to spam that shit a lot and I know it's you because is usually shitting on feminists and woketards.

If they turn this movie into a episodic series they better improve the worldbuilding and give more characterizations to Celine and the Saja Boys more. With the way the plot is, it feels so 'vanilla' and tame and making Jinu a Sad Boy Demon about his past is so eye-roll inducing.

Yaaaaaaaay more Eliochads, luckily it did so bad at the theaters it's already on streaming

>>149421230
Man, the movie is actually kinda weird how it seems slightly critical of the idol industry, but at the same time refuses to voice that criticism directly. The girls’ kpop mentor teaches them repeatedly that they have to hide all flaws and imperfections, and the girls learn to reject that and accept that the things they regard as flaws can sometimes be not only okay, but potentially strengths in themselves.

But they also do that all while being smoking hot perfect yas slay queens who love their jobs as kpop stars.

That's correct. Cute Latinas mutate into ugly fat orcs when they're older due to diet (extreme amounts of sugar, carbohydrates and fat compared to vegetables and proteins) and a culture of being lazy fucks (working out is like a torture to them, so they'd rather stay in bed all day when they don't go to work on weekends).

I think asian countries really took the superstar concept and ran away with it with idol culture. At least in america, it was always sort of accepted, nay, even expected, that the celebs all go have sex and do cocaine on the weekends, even the teenyboppers.

>>149422111
So a 2000’s version of this film would essentially be if a boy band based on the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC fought against demons, that shit would’ve been cringe as shit back in the day, critically panned and up there with Jack and Jill or Battlefield Earth as one of the worst movies of all time, but oh well I guess nobody these days gives a fuck about quality anymore.

Boy this film is gonna be dated as shit 10 years from now.

Nah, it'd have a cult following instead that will constantly bring up it's "untapped potential". Also I don't think that's really been done so the novelty alone will carry it.

This is one of those situations where it's isolated in some room but that room is very loud and you'll hear it if you're adjacent to said room. If you don't have any real interest in K pop or girly shit, you wouldn't hear about this.

Fat hands typed this post, come the fuck on, we need more wacky western shit to kill the beanmouth demons, stop relying on weebery

Hey that’s a good idea for a film, Wacky Beanmouth Hunters, a film about Ren & Stimpy-like cartoon characters who assassinate poorly-drawn beanmouth characters and look cool while doing it or some shit, that would be peak

Western shows are wacky beanmouth and little else, that's why we need Asia.
Your idea sucks btw but go ahead and call up Spumco, and you better call soon because it'll take them at least a decade to finish a project assuming it gets finished at all. But we'll have plenty of great shows from Asia to watch while we wait.

Amen brother.
Even if it's not the most egregious example, it's clear that this thing got put through the corporate art machine to make it as generic and cheap as they could. I would give some slight approval to whoever stood in the way of it being turned into our right ugly trash like Turning Red or Win or Lose.
That being said Kpop is such normies level trash, I have no faith in this being capable of anything beyond the most basic, boring sort of drama for drama sake storytelling.

I like these characters and want to see them having more adventures. But I can't personally think up anything more for them to do. They already defeated Evil Band and Korean Satan. What else is left? This doesn't seem to be a Power Rangers setting where they deal with monster of the week for a long period of time.

Rumi realizes Jinu’s soul is in her sword, girls go on a journey to restore him to life.
Can explore more aspects of the demons, have the Saja Boys return by saying demons don’t really die just reform back in the demon realm, explore Rumi’s parentage etc.
there’s lots of shit they can do for a sequel.

>>149421192
Sure, but Kpop Demon Hunters, starting from the title, establishes an irreverent relationship with "Koreanism" from the jump, right off the bat with the title. The pulpy aspects after it, using music to fight demons, tapping in to the real world rise of popularity in kpop, isn't a celebration of anything but kpop.

The worst part is it's an obvious lie because Netflix can claim anything got any number of views and just never shows the proof

>>149425517
But why lie for this?

Celine felt like kind of an oddly handled character. At some point I started to notice that literally only Rumi interacts with her, and there is even a part where the other girls weirdly act as though she is invisible. It made me briefly wonder if she was gonna turn out to be a ghost or something.

>>149425627
The more you dig into the this the more its obvious they didn't make what they wanted to make. Even a cut possible plot point is that she's the one who killed Rumi's mother but heavily implied to be unintentionally.

>>149424367
I did wonder if demons were a global problem, or if the city that the Huntrix girls live in was on top of the one Portal to Hell. The movie opens with them coming back from a world tour so I guess it could go either way.

Are you blind? All of the major characters have model-esque body proportions (legs for days) and anime facial features. The GrubHub artstyle has only pear-shaped bodies, weirdly circilar eyes, and the dreaded "bean mouths" that everyone hates.

>>149419392
Yes because most normalfags won't watch 2D animated films besides Ghibli in the first place, so an anime-adjacent CG film from a major studio is new shit for them. A whole cohort of millenials and zoomers pine about stuff like Sailor Moon and shit but don't have modern shows or films with women in action that are also romantic in nature. Disney and Pixar often make girl films but they don't actually have the type of action and fighting that women and men find "cool".

>>149420528
I mean, in Sinner they didn't kill the vamps with the power of music, but I can see your point even if it doesn't really match up.

I just think it's ironic that K-pop idols are starved half to death by their managers to the point they pass out and require hospitalization while this movie chose to show the girls pigging out to excessive levels.

Being an idol and being a manager require two different skillsets. It’s not impossible for an ex idol to transition to a manager, but I don’t think it woulda worked here. And then being a special chosen one demon slayer superhero is a whole other thing. Having Celine juggle the management, being the magic kung fu master, a foster parent, and an ex idol is just too much. Even if i woulda afforded her more screentime.

And the girls also needed a Bobby to be working with them who isn’t in on the demon hunter schtick. Makes them more connected to the human world. Opens up opportunities for jokes. Gives them a dude who is a bit more supportive than “you must be perfect all the time” Celine. I liked Bobby.

>>149435239
Nah ex-idols are always producers, not managers. Managers are mich lower level and don't need any performing experience to be good. While there are multiple cases of previous performers becoming huge producers in K-Pop, two of the 4 biggest agencies were started by producers who were idols in the 90s.

>>149429307
>A whole cohort of millenials and zoomers pine about stuff like Sailor Moon and shit but don't have modern shows or films with women in action that are also romantic in nature
More big studios should be smart and realize this, just make the equivalent of cool guy action hero movies who get the girl in the end but for women. Basically #girlboss stuff but without the man-hating since most women at least like fictional romance and shipping no matter what they say about real men. Girls/women are the main ones who buy merch and give free advertising by creating tons of non-porn fanart and memes, males just argue about race and sexuality, or make porn.
