Thread 149929591

It's the most loud and obnoxious thing I've tried to watch this year, not to mention the most embarrassingly hard-sell main characters.
Yes I'm aware the target audience is 12 year old girls

Consider:
It makes Kpop fans ABSOLUTELY SEETHE.

Which means it's good.

>It makes Kpop fans ABSOLUTELY SEETHE
Wait, how so?

Short hair girl is cute. That's all I have to say regarding this thing

>>149929647
I am going to take a guess that, because the songs are chopping global charts in general, on the specific KPop charts they are absolutely crushing it. Kpop has a lot of a obsessive superfans for specific artists, and they can't be happy that two fake cartoon pop groups are beating them right now.

>>149929647
NTA but it's just retarded kpop fanwars. The music and movie itself is doing well, so kpop fans are jealous that a group that doesn't really exist is outperforming and breaking records, over their own favorite groups with real people.

>>149929591 (OP)
Anon, it's not easy to present your characters as cute but also badass but also relatable but also super popular but also independent but also caring but also sassy but also goofy but also conforming to conventional beauty standards but also quirky but also elegant but also silly but also dignified but also a kpop band.

Unless you have good writers who therefore not even try to do that of course.

These networks don't know what to do anymore

>>149929591 (OP)
My favorite cousin fucking loves this movie so much and I can't stand looking at even short clips. It's the biggest test of then soul I've faced in spending time with her.

>>149930042

>>149930025
>what kids actually watch
should just be a big youtube logo.

The funniest thing about this is that Sony only made $20 million from this movie. I fucking hate netflix but fuck me I bet some executive or two at Sony got chewed out. That shit is funny.

Not the first time a fictional band has made a specific group of fans seethe.

>>149929591 (OP)
I swear to god we're all just alive so they can torture us with perenial downpour of dogshit media. They'll never make movies for guys anymore. They dont even make cartoons for boys these days.

>>149929615
>It makes Kpop fans ABSOLUTELY SEETHE.
What the fuck i think i love Kpop: demon hunters now. Thanks sony

It's such an incredibly inoffensive movie, it goes out of its way to be as safe and standard as possible with no subversion or big risks. It's a standard hero's journey with standard bubblegum pop music and stock archetype characters. Probably the biggest "risk" they took was on the animation itself.

I can't imagine being such a massive pussy that this would offend you when watching a kid. I would watch my Nephew badly singing along to soda pop a hundred more times before watching any more fucking Blippi or Loud House

>>149929615
>thing is good because it makes someone I don't like seethe
>this is the only reason I praise thing
>nothing else in thing is good apparently

"Golden" by the animated K-POP group Huntr/x just hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It's the first time a fictional group hit #1 since 1969, when "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies hit.

OP is clearly in the bitter, seething minority.

>>149930565
This, it's basically an extremely mainstream product pretending to have a big personality, built entirely around Kpop which is ALSO an extremely mainstream product doing basically the same thing.

>>149929647
It's basically hardcore proof that the kpop groups they like aren't actually special and equivalent music that achieves greater popularity can be cooked up by anyone with the right tools.

>>149930678
No shit, kpop is just the natural extension of manufactured pop groups from the 90's

OP this has been out for almost two months now. The time for /co/ntrarian bait has passed

I've never seen this show but the main song is so fucking repetitive and annoying.

>>149930732
I mean yeah. Tell that to a fucking kpop fan though lol. This is like reality finally smacking them in the face about it.

>>149930732
>>149930772
Bit of an anecdote but I once had a kpop fan tell me about this song that was like a kpop/metal hybrid. I thought that sounded interesting so I checked it out. There was nothing metal about it at all and when I asked then what they were talking about, they referred to a couple of parts in the song where they used an Eastern chord progression. The same thing Britney Spears and Fiona Apple did in the 90s. They thought that was metal.

Any burgeranons going to the one week only movie theater premiere? I can't fucking wait!

>>149929591 (OP)
Those three are Sukuna fodder btw.

The early visual gags were pretty awful, sat through the whole thing and after the boys do their sodapop number it gets better but that's still like 20-30 minutes of just skipping past quirky bullshit.

>>149931256
Yeah I was glad the LE EPIC MEME FACES calmed down. That's pretty normal, start funny then get serious.

I thought it was funny how they cast Lea Salonga (Jasmine & Mulan) just to sing six words. I can't imagine how much story and music got cut.

>>149930025
Isn't it like the only Netflix animated movie to be a massive hit? They're already planning on making 50 spinoffs.

>>149930815
i can't attend this weekend
please netflix make more weekends I really wanna go!

>>149930732
Kpop is for people who want to listen to hip hop and RnB without dealing with having to look at black people.

>>149929615

What? From what I’ve seen K-pop fans are loving this shit.

It's a Netflix film after all

>>149930565
>as safe and standard as possible
The love interest died.

The reality is that normies don’t give a fuck about this shitty film, the reason the film blew up on Netflix was because kids, I should know cause I worked as a Summer Camp Counselor over the Summer and every kid was talking about the film, many wanted to watch it on the tv in the playroom. This film has so many views on Netflix is cause kids love this kind of slop about the most corporate music genre ever so parents turn it on in the background for them to keep it quiet.

The only adults who give a fuck about this slop film are autists and YouTube ecelebs. You seriously think normies want to watch a film with a title like "K-Pop Demon Hunters"? Kek, get real, the films so called "popularity among normies" is complete bullshit

So...when is the inevitable Spider-Verse crossover happening? Sony won't be able to resist. I can feel it.

>>149933300
Only casual kpop listeners would enjoy this.
Supergroup cultists hate anything that distracts from their group.

Sequel ending to have Rumi quitting the industry after reviving Jinu.

>>149933945
That looks like a parody image made by a false-flagger.

>>149934049
Are you denying that they think like this?
Anyone can go on twitter or any of the various fansites and see how they operate. It's not a secret.

i watched this this morning and got 10 minutes in before tapping out. i saw a youtube short of it and thought it might be interesting despite the red flag art style. that's what i get for being open minded.

WMAF parents’ fantasy.

>>149929591 (OP)
they definitely frontloaded all the cringe GrubHub shit at the beginning of it but I liked it overall (despite the Korean Romcom shit).

>>149935994
my only complaint is that we didn't get much story with the other two girls. they just get sidelined for most of it.

>>149929591 (OP)
It's the best thing that's come out this year. Free is the best song btw.

Zoe has a Spiderverse charm on her phone. They'll probably add easter eggs to Beyond the Spiderverse.

I like how her whole backstory was that she went to high school in Burbank. The fuck kind of pathos is that, did she get bullied by Armenians?

I'm going to see it in theatres

>>149938671
supposedly kpop stans would hate this backstory since supposedly you're not a true kpop artist unless you were born and raised in SK. Her gimmick is obviously hip hop influence despite being in one of the most sheltered areas in california. so she falls under the safe edgy that companies love

>>149929591 (OP)
I enjoyed it. Really was able to get into the film emotionally, sucked me into the plot for some reason. Don't care much for Kpop but I added 3 songs from it to my 1k+ playlist. The main characters and their reactions are cute, I liked the moderately ugly background characters.
Biggest complaints are that the main villain, Gwi-ma, had WAY too generic of a voice. They should have hired an old, creaky, creepy, booming, macho old asian guy. Absolute no power behind his voice.
The generic, ugly little demons and the cute water demons should have been more sympathetic too. I thought the film was hinting at the fact all of the demon minions were once humans who were conned into eternal slavery, but they didn't expand on that. When Rumi pinned that demon and asked him if he was a victim, he should have looked down sad, look back at her, open his mouth, then get dusted by Zoey's thrown dagger. I dunno why Jinu is the only demon with empathy.
Mira is the hottest btw.

>>149929647
Most Kpop stars aren't demon hunters. This is blatantly false advertising.

>>149939018
So in SK they’d basically see her as being raised in Compton or some shit
Incredible

>>149929591 (OP)
I want JPop Demon Hunters.

>>149930192
>that Sony only made $20 million from this movie
This is what I still don't get, did Sony really sold the rights of the franchise to Netflix? Because if so, there is no point in watching a sequel if Netflix is giving the franchise to a different studio with a totally different artstyle from the original.

Kek. This is what thise porn adverts meant by
>you won't last five minutes
This is probably what that Gorrilaz show would've been like.

>>149938682
Lucky, bitch. Have fun, anon.

>>149929591 (OP)
What bothered me most was that it had all these different characters taking up screen time when the only ones who got any actual development or personality were Rumi and Jinu. It just felt empty. The rest of the Saja Boys were grunts who never got to say anything and the other two Huntrix girls were just sassy quirky relateable queens with one note sad backstories shoved into a couple sentences. Celine was barely relevant even though it seems she’s supposed to be super important to Rumi’s backstory. The movie really could’ve used more screentime or better planning/structure. Also Soda Pop is fucking annoying and I’m sick of hearing it.

I like Your Idol though.

what is a children's movie

>>149943474
Celine was a fucking nothing burger of a character who is clearly supposed to be super important but we never get the proper context on the extend of it. But at the same time her obvious neglect and absence in Rumi's life made it obvious how much she cares about her and the girls. She deserved to get called out. We can only hope that the sequels focuses on expanding the other members of the band
Also the fact that, except for Jinu, literally none of the Saja Boys had any actual spoken lines making them quite literally fodder was... a choice
Also, I agree Your Idol > Soda Pop

>>149941514
yes
sony still has contractual rights that only they can make the sequels too and earn a bit of money off those. but it still belongs to netflix

>Korean movie about KPOP
>All characters are white
