Thread 150084700

What does /co/ think of the most watched Netflix movie ever? I’m thinking of watching it to see if it lives up to the hype.

It's just that easy. Slop like this should be coming out monthly. We should be bored of things like this and demanding studios break the mold. Instead this cookie cutter pixie stick of a movie is the greatest thing to come out in 15 years.

I love it.
Weird that they titled the movie “Kpop Demon Hunters” instead of “Huntrix”, though.

>>150084753
They didn't want people asking
"What is this"?

every rewatch I notice new details
like Rumi's demon hand during her talk with Celine
Kurosawa wishes he had this level of layering
Scorsese seething right now, coping in his little boomer cave

It was fun. Good songs and characters, but slow middle and retarded ending. They introduce this idea that demons might be good but just seal them away anyways.

Mira is badest bitch.

I’m hearing Soda Pop out loud in my retail store that I work at…

It's hot

Jinu is only a good demon because he helped them seal away the demons.
Rumi only redeems her demonhood because she seals away demons.
For a demon to be good they must identify the objective evil of demons and oppose it.

Your opinion is the correct one

Would Frieren flat out murder Rumi even though she’s a “good” demon

>>150084700 (OP)
Why is it always this exact image of the girls wagging their fingers used in every article I see about this movie? I even got jumpscared seeing this image in a physical newspaper.

>>150084734
So the opposite of steven universe.

>>150084872
>Jinu is only a good demon because he helped them seal away the demons.
He was already semi good since the beginning, or at least was pretty conflicted.
> Rumi only redeems her demonhood because she seals away demons.
except she's also proud of her marks in a weird way, at the end saying that these marks are just who she is, and is a part of her? It's kind of the core message of the final song.
> For a demon to be good they must identify the objective evil of demons and oppose it
Did they ever actually say that in the movie? How many of the demons are purely just demons and how many others are in Jinu's posistion? It's pretty vague, and the introduce this idea that "not all demons are bad" while also just sealing them all away without any guilt is really dumb.

>>150084734
>>hate the enemies from without
>>do not waste time parlaying with evil. Kills it instead.
I think you kind of missed the point there...

>>150084917
Cry about it.

Yes. Except su had music synced fight scenes

Everything in the movie is in the movie. Rumi questioned her steadfast xenophobia for a moment and almost died. In the end the unwavering hatred and total rejection of demons was confirmed as the correct moral choice. Betraying the betrayer is the only path to redemption.

>>150084990
Maybe but I'll never know cuz you didn't make an argument.
Jinu and rumi went on dates as a way to manipulate each other for their own purposes.
Rumi doubts herself and learns shame.
Jinu begins to question if his selfish pursuit is worth sacrificing humanity.
In the end rumi shrugs off Jinu's manipulation, and jinu fully embraces rumi's.
The ending is not equal on both sides. The demons are bad and must be stopped. The only demon worth accepting is the one that stopped the other demons.

>>150084934
Absolutely. Total demon death in her mind.

>>150085111
>Rumi questioned her steadfast xenophobia for a moment and almost died.
Anon you're so fucking dense. They never explained the rules of the demon world and if other "demons" like Jinu existed. Just because she almost died in that scene doesn't invalidate that question/conflict the movie was trying to set up only to just ignore it at the end. They didn't conclude that killing all the demons was the right choice, they just ignored the entire conflict entirely.
>Betraying the betrayer is the only path to redemption.
Then why the fuck does Rumi embrace her marks at the end, saying that this is just who she is? Rumi didn't even redeem herself, she just accepted this (objectively) part of herself, it's retarded

>>150084937
It's an iconic memorable shot, plus girlboss energy.

she needs more straight rule 34

This is the most "not made for me" thing I've witnessed in a long time.

>>150084753
One of my biggest gripes with Disney is them naming their films one word only. Moana, Elio, Soul, etc. like wtf am I even expecting to see with these movies. I'm glad this movie's title gives you an idea what it's even about, corny as it sounds

>>150085447
I'm just thinking from the point of view of the media outlets using that image.

>>150084700 (OP)
no, don't watch it. just blindly hate it like everyone else on /co/

It's well-made and inoffensive, very predictable but that's fine, the music is catchy.
It's not aimed at me but I know quality when I see it and this is a quality product.

>>150084753
I was in a focus group for the name and was very against naming it Huntrix. That name tells you fucking nothing.

No they did not ignore it. They showed jinu redeeming himself by
KILLING ALL THE DEMONS
The question isn't ignored. It's answered. Kill demons. Jinu even kills himself because he knows he is too corrupted to walk among humanity. Rumi is the only apparent special demon because her shame comes from something that isn't her fault. Where as jinu abandoned his family to poverty in a time and place that makes les miserable look like Disney land. You just don't like their answer because you want to self insert as a demon.
>Then why the fuck does Rumi embrace her marks at the end, saying that this is just who she is? Rumi didn't even redeem herself, she just accepted this (objectively) part of herself, it's retarded
She didn't embrace being a demon. She just stopped hiding a physical defect. She reject demons and killed them. Her crime was letting the honmoon collapse. Her redemption was making a new one.

>>150084700 (OP)
It looks hideous and I have absolutely no interest in seeing it. And of course that means /co/ is constantly spammed with threads about.

I can accept the Chinese shills, but my god Kpoopers are obnoxious.

>>150086572
I find them both equally annoying because they both ultimately rely on the same thing: "This thing is #1, it is the most popular thing" without ever talking about the quality.

>>150086572
Of there were 2 good animated movies to talk about we could talk about something else.

> They showed jinu redeeming himself by
KILLING ALL THE DEMONS
No, he didn’t kill the demons. All he did was stop the big bad guy from killing rumi, and he kind of just disappeared, which was honestly a pretty lame conclusion to his character. Rumi and the girls were the ones who sealed the demons away, despite them being aware that theres a possibility others like jinu exist. Again, the rules about demons are really vague and hurt the story.
> Jinu even kills himself because he knows he is too corrupted to walk among humanity
Then thats not really a redemption then, is it? That basically means nothing he can do can redeem him, despite him being capable of doing good. Why introduce a complex idea about demons being redeemed and trying to be good if you’re just going to go back to “eh they’re all evil so who cares” it’s an extremely lazy way to tackle that issue.
> She didn't embrace being a demon. She just stopped hiding a physical defect.
The physical defect that literally marks her as a demon? That tells everyone shes part demon and (according to the movie) part completely evil? Why would you want to show and be proud of that at all considering what we know about demons?
> them. Her crime was letting the honmoon collapse. Her redemption was making a new one.
Anon, thats not an arc, thats her literal external goal, while the internal arc is her accepting herself for being part demon (which is retarded)

>>150084700 (OP)
This movie is for 13 year old girls

>>150087426
>No, he didn’t kill the demons. All he did was stop the big bad guy
Splitting hairs. He played a critical role in killing the demons.
>Then thats not really a redemption then, is it?
Yes it is. Redemption doesn't mean you now get a reward. It means you're truly sorry for what you did wrong.
>Why would you want to show and be proud of that at all considering what we know about demons?
Firstly because real little girls have physical defects they're ashamed of and rumi is a role model for them. Secondly she proved she could overcome her demonic nature through her actions. She fell and rose again.
>the internal arc is her accepting herself for being part demon (which is retarded)
And the way she reconciled her heritage was by maintaining that she is the ultimate enemy of evil.

>>150087908
> He played a critical role in killing the demons
The act of indirectly killing the demons wasn’t what “redeemed” him, it was saving rumi and believing that he wasn’t a complete selfish demon like the big bad told him he was, which still led him to suffering with all the other demons
> Redemption doesn't mean you now get a reward. It means you're truly sorry for what you did wrong.
Wrong, redemption means being saved from sin or a wrong from the past, to be forgiven(which didn’t happen to jinu) You’re thinking of remorse.
> Firstly because real little girls have physical defects they're ashamed of and rumi is a role model for them
That’s irrelevant to the story
> Secondly she proved she could overcome her demonic nature through her actions. She fell and rose again.
Showing off your marks and claiming that this is “who you are” isn’t overcoming it, it’s accepting it, which doesn’t make sense considering what demons are.
Again, don’t imply demons are more complex and then just resort to them being evil and thats it.
> And the way she reconciled her heritage was by maintaining that she is the ultimate enemy of evil.
Which contradicts the “accepting yourself” message at the end

>>150088055
Anon you may be retarded
Do you really think they didn't know they were leaving sequel hooks for more "good" demons and exploring Rumi's father?

This whole argument is silly.

>>150084817
Easily my favorite from the moment she tells Zoey that whatever the fuck she wanted to watch about turtles sounds boring and that it's perfect to just be a couch potato to.

>>150084700 (OP)
I liked it. I’m surprised at how heterosexual it was. I watched the Golden MV before the movie and I thought it’d be the big culmination of the girl’s character arcs but it turned out to be the “moments before disaster,” song and I thought that was amusing.

Statue merch when?

Built to be ZOEY"D
And yes, Rumi needed like 15 more minutes for her arc post reveal.
