Thread 150756213

What makes something popular for normies vs popular for /co/? Kpop Demon Hunters is uber popular, but you don't see constant threads on /co/ about it

Pretty sure /co/ counts this and Nezha as /a/ material. Might be wrong though.

In my humble opinion, KDH might be popular but there's not many things to talk about. It's a serviceable music video with decent animation, endearing "what real girls are like" characters and a rather predictable story with catchy music. I fell asleep right before the "break up" portion of movie but woke up just in time for the fantastic finale.

But yeah that's it. Like it or hate it, that's all I really have to say about it.

I think it's a matter of what maintains long-term discussion here.
I know /co/ has a sizable femanon crowd but we're still mostly guys and for whatever reason the K-Pop girls didn't appeal to Anons here.
Ruby Gillman is probably one of the most glaring examples of something that wasn't popular among normalfags but popular on /co/ albeit for the wrong reasons since that was built more on disappointment, frustration, and wasted potential with new information that lasted months.
I think K-Pop Demon Hunters would've found its place among /co/ had this board not become a hollowed out husk by then but also as I'm typing this down I think the rise of alternative places for discussing comics and cartoons played a role in why certain audiences would thrive elsewhere.

>>150756258
It's Sony you moron

>>150756274
Maybe but it's still K-Pop. A genre not really talked about a whole lot on /co/. Because like I said, it's basically an extensive music video of a Kpop album. That is not to say that I didn't enjoy it. But there's not enough controversy, waifu bait, or gushing over the animation to warrant many threads for it.

>>150756213 (OP)
Little girls really like pretty female characters & singing. That's all it takes.

>>150756323
>Maybe but it's still K-Pop.
Yeah and it's still /co/ because it's made by a Western studio

>>150756350
Okay? I agree? But it's still KPOP, anon. I never said it doesn't belong on /co/. Just that I've seen people say it leans closer to /a/ like Nezha. Which I personally hate because I really wanted to talk about Nezha 2 with people but /co/ doesn't find it cartoony enough and /a/ doesn't find it gay enough.

>>150756323
i know fans on ao3 really like to talk about alternate universes of what if rumi died. i think the most popular ao3 fic is about it. it's called "Let me sit down for dinner with my dead lover again, For this is the last dream I ever want to have" by a_bird_who_is_like_no_other

>>150756377
/a/ doesn't allow any western stuff, and kpop is a western movie.
/co/ doesn't talk about it much ironically because it's also not gay enough for the autistic gays who make up most of the modern online cartoon community.
It's mostly made for tween girls and their moms, as is the case with most kpop in general.

>>150756213 (OP)
>What makes something popular for normies
Competent storytelling, flashy visuals, decent action
>vs popular for /co/?
Waifus

>>150756410

but kpop demon hunters has 3 women as the main characters and the tumblr fandom and ao3 fandom and twitter fandom is constantly polytrix shipping them together

>>150756213 (OP)
>popular for normies
Engaging. Whether through plot or wacky visuals.
>popular for /co/
Waifufaggotry. /co/ will make threads about anything as long as there's a cute female character(s) that is worth obsessing over.

>>150756471
You don't understand what makes a waifu

Loved the live performance! (The key had to be shifted down because EJAE is still recovering from bronchitis)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y-ViyUk7Dk

>>150756496
I really don't. I see people make child cartoon characters as waifus so i have no idea what the waifu factor is. I don't waifu characters, can someone explain it to me?

>>150756377
>>150756455
I saw it with my mom and enjoyed it a lot

>>150756482
>>150756410
i don't know why anons shit on reddit for being stupid when many of their anon discussions amount to constant waifuposting. same with /mu/, it's filled with waifuposting now

>>150756258
>>150756377
try making a KPOP Demon Hunters thread on /a/ and see how fast you get the boot
no one thinks this is more /a/ than /co/, stop being retarded, not even Netflix, who loves slapping the "anime" title in anything calls it anime, genuine mongoloid take.

K-Pop is the zenith of innocuous normie slop and retards will gobble up anything adjacent to it.

>>150756410
TRUKE

>>150756504
There's no hard and fast criteria. Fuck's sake, people waifu Creepy Suzie.
>>150756530
Because reddit is an enforced circlejerk

UP UP UP!

Personality

>>150757307
the Huntrix have plenty of personality!

>>150757426
But are they cute and funny?

>>150757467
of course, that's why lots of little girls love kpop demon hunters

>>150756213 (OP)
/co/ is just /pol/ lite so we tend to prefer racist shows and comics

>>150756213 (OP)
>you don't see constant threads on /co/ about it
Newfag or marketer? Because if you were here any time during the first month or so after it premiered that's exactly what it was like. We're all K-popped out, everything there was to discuss has been discussed.

>>150757771
i was busy for most of that period. i saw one of the early threads for it, and then by the time i came back, 4chan barely discusses it. i see the fandom is still way more active on tumblr and twitter and reddit. what were the vibes from those early threads, what did people here like to focus on?

>>150757797
>Anons who disliked it complaining about memefaces and trolling anons who liked it for having shit taste
>Anons who liked it trolling back when it became massively successful
>Pleasant surprise the main relationship was straight

>Fun allowed vs. no fun allowed

>That gif of Rumi deepthroating a sushi roll posted over and over

>by the time i came back, 4chan barely discusses it
This is just the way things are now with streaming, particularly season dumps. If you're not watching and discussing it in the first few days after release, no-one else will be.

>>150756213 (OP)
It's all style No substance like most animation today. The plot was awful. Sure , the song that rip offs that other kpop song was catchy but that's about it.

>>150757879
thanks!

>>150757949
No worries, you can always trawl the archives if you want a better sense of /co/'s reaction at the time. To your earlier point, I think it probably has more legs with the fujos in other places because well, it's almost tailor made for them. /co/ by comparison is a lot more straight and male.
>inb4 implying

>>150757985
>more legs with the fujos
the fujos somehow going nuts for a 3 person yuri ship is honestly great. i haven't seen that happen before

>>150756213 (OP)
>popular for normies
Be good at being competent. Do nothing terrible but nothing great. Maybe have some catchy tunes that is with the flavor of the generation.
You could have replaced the kpop elements of KDH with New Kids on The Block or N Sync style boybands and the oriental parts with generic grim reaper vs damned souls, release it in the 00s and it would have had a huge spark like KDH did now, only to be completely forgotten in a year with people going "oh yeah, that movie was alright I guess."

>>150758019
>be a ne zha fujo
>get to have polytrix too

it's great to get to focus on women too

>>150756213 (OP)
KPOP Demon Hunters going viral means Jentry Chau gets a second chance, right?

Its just frozen.
Stupid story with cool prettygirls and catchy songs.

>>150758972
it seems well received. how come it doesn't seem popular?

>>150756349
Apparently little boys of the current generation alpha do too.

>>150756938
I cant believe pop culture has been subjected to Taylor swift’s shitty music for nearly 2 decades now

Kpop Demon Hunters singing voice actresses do Jimmy Fallon interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9PusX5ugbI

>>150757558
Half of this board is /pol/ shit Most of this board is /co/mblr(then theres a tiny fringe group that actually likes cartoons)

>>150759283
the new swift album wasn't as well received, so the swifties and kpop fans might fight it out on the chart

>>150759235
Netflix is doing a terrible job marketing it.

>>150756499
I can't wait until EJAE fully recovers and the Huntrix unleash their full power at the grammys or oscars

>>150759308
that sucks

it's a miracle Kpop Demon Hunters made it out of the Netflix not marketing anything

>>150759336
It's true, but there's definitely a community of people watching it.

>>150759295
Which side is "I want to talk about comics without political niggerfaggots on either side hijacking shit with their petty low IQ slapfights"?

>>150759364
A fringe so tiny that anon didn’t even remember to mention it, unfortunately.

>>150756263
>alternative places for discussing comics and cartoons
What might those be? I feel like there simply isn't any place to discuss anything properly without circle jerking/shitposting anymore.

>>150756410
>>150756471
I mostly see art of women thirsting after the demon bishies, and het shipping. Barely and Yuri or yaoi

>>150759977
search polytrix and you will get yuri galore

>>150756263
I agree that KPDH would've fared better on /co/ maybe a decade ago. As it stands this place is just too bitter and caught up in culture war bullshit.

>>150760403
>caught up in culture war bullshit.
could barely even discuss the Ne Zha movies here without people trying to shit up the thread because it's chinese, even though the Ne Zha movies seem like something /co/ would like

I want every single one of the people who worked on this movie to suffer immensely.
My absolute hatred towards Kpop and Spiderverse-y animation knows no bounds

>>150761147
Yes!
I'm utterly sick of Sakuga and choppy framerates overtaking actually good animation

>>150759788
Unironically twitter
Comic twitter is fucking awful but they talk more about comics than /co/ (and actually know more shit than the average Anon)
There's also shitholes like TikTok which kind of reminds me of how /co/ loved Amphibia more than The Owl House when everywhere it was the other way around

noooooo i don't want to deal with character limits

wolfwalkers is good, good luck having a thread last longer than a day

>>150756471
polytrix is such garbage. i pray the filmmakers never give these idiots an inch

>>150762634
How the fuck do people even “discuss” anything on a site like twattex? It’s basically just personal conversations on millions of people’s blogs that you might stumble across if the skewed algorithm that wants to make you angry about politics 24/7 bothers to recommend them. Why the fuck this is preferable to nicely organised forums and threads by topic I will never fucking know.

>>150756213 (OP)
There were a lot of KPop Demon hunters threads, but most of us got our discussion out already. Unless you're into writing fanfiction or shipping characters, there isn't much to talk about aside from how solid the film was.

>>150763974
Yeah I basically ran out of things to say about it.

>Kpop movie
>Portrays the idols as well-adjusted and happy
>Rips off Symphogear

>>150765669

at least the huntrix don't have to transform into ugly costumes

>>150765789
Yeah, they're already ugly as-is.
Also they had Gamera

>>150759308
This would be their best chance. It would be the perfect "if you liked KPOP Demon Hunters" thing to put at the top of recommended lists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0qmpBG08gA

>>150757879
It was an okay animated movie about Kpop and demon slaying, that's all.

>>150759308
Bro, don't you wanna watch the final season of Stranger Things?

>>150765669
>Portrays the idols as well-adjusted and happy
It's a kids' movie Anon, it's not Perfect Blue. The intention is to entertain kids not present a scathing view of the idol industry. Disney has been doing the same thing and omitting the sex and gore from fairytales for like a century.

>>150766854
Fuck that, kids need to know this stuff.
It's one thing to pretty up a fictional story, but a subject matter as awful as the Kpop idol industry needs to be treated as the horror it is

>>150766950
Ah yes, because what Up needed was to warn kids about getting butt raped by Scout Masters and Ratatouille was a failure because no one was poisoned by having a wild animal running around the kitchen.

>>150766611
Yeah, but I want to watch other stuff, too.

>>150767151
...That's not the same m8

>>150756213 (OP)
The strongest aspect of this movie is the music, not the animation.

>>150759162
Main female character actually gets the guy to love her despite him being a villain tho (based hetero)

Elsa is permanently forever alone (lol gay)

Marketing. Literally 99% of the reason why anything succeeds with normalfags is marketing.

Good for you but Anon if you went through the threads you'd understand that /co/ was fascinated by how angry the film kept making them

>>150766464
I hope the algorithm is referring it to them.

lol Netflix added the lyric videos too

>>150756213 (OP)
There were back-to-back-to-back KPop Demon Hunters threads back when it first dropped, but like with any new film, /co/ exhausted through any discussion left to be had. It was pretty popular here, but nowadays any mention of the film is in response to its surprising longevity outside of this site.

What was the deal with the eyeball doctor
Also wish we got more Saja beef scenes
They just showed up and the girls immediately fell for the bait

>>150756213 (OP)
I don't like k-pop so perhaps I'm not the right audience for this but I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes.

The whole "Super perfect popstars are ACTUALLY normal people who binge eat fast food and stuff when they're not on stage" was the most boring, hackneyed lamost fan servicey characterization they could have done. Characterization that felt at odds with the whole part time super dedicated warriors against evil shtick. I would have been more intrigued if these humanizing flaws were actually detrimental to the characters and not just quirky bullshit.

Speaking of fan service, the way the protagonists glazed the fans and treated them like the most important thing ever was cringe inducing. Because you, yes (you) the guy personally watching this movie are actually loved by the celebrity you worship! It made me feel legit embarrassed to be considered this movies "audience".

The animation is nice and maybe the story develops in an interesting way beyond that opening but I wasn't sold enough to suffer through a musical about music I don't like.

>>150774487
>I would have been more intrigued if these humanizing flaws were actually detrimental to the characters and not just quirky bullshit.

You get them pretty quickly, but if you go in expecting to hate it, no shit you're gonna have a bad time

>>150774521
Believe it or not, I didn't go in expecting to hate it. Literally the opposite in fact because everyone told me it was good.

Funnily enough,
female South Korean idols are often on very harsh diets, such as only being allowed to eat the equivalent of 3 plastic cups worth of food in a day. It's part of the reason why so many of them pass out during live shows. Not to mention all the problems with their managers. Never forget that South Korea is a Demonic Nation.

I think it be substance. Works popular with normies appeal to them with entertainment but lacks deeper substance if you actually take the time to engage. I'm not trying to say it's shallow but rather the work prioritizes something the average /co/ user wouldn't engage with.

>>150774548
You turned off during the basic world building and intro, as well as coming at it with a very negative mindset if you think that the Disney princess standins caring for the plebs was somehow some deep messaging beyond establishing that they're the good guys.

>>150756213 (OP)
worthless youtube/content feed algorithms.

are there other popular cartoons that are unpopular on co?

if either kpop demon hunters or ne zha wins an oscar, there's going to be such a shitshow from the losing fandom

It’s the new Frozen, but it’s partly because of the mostly incest shipping circlejerk of Frozen (along with homestuck, gravity falls, and horse board) that generals can’t exist on /co/ anymore and just get booted to /trash/.

A weekly show can still find its /co/ audience because there will be constantly new things to talk about and so reasons to keep threads going. It’s harder to justify making new threads on movies the same way past the first week. The binge watch shows have a similar issue but do tend to have more content and S2 speculation to give it a small shot in the arm.

If Netflix go ahead with a full animated series for KDH, it will probably find more traction for discussion here.

>>150774224
They’re stalling for time until they can make something actually new.

>>150759283
At least this time even the hardcore fans are saying it’s shit. Thing is she’s so big that just releasing the album is enough to top the charts by sheer volume, regardless of quality.
It’s like how Mr Beast videos will always trend on YouTube. When there’s already a large audience day 1 ready to click, nobody is waiting for the review to see if it’s even worth your time

today i learnt something new about /co/ history

i know we've got a few ne zha fans here

the normies didn't pick the english dub movie up...

it's not on a24's for your consideration list anymore...

our only hope for an oscar is that cmc pictures will campaign for its chinese dub instead

>>150767151
Anon, those weren't the focal points of those movies.

>>150756213 (OP)
>What makes something popular for normies
General appeal because K-Pop is mainstream music.

>vs popular for /co/
Whether /co/ can jerk off to the underage characters or not.

>>150771688
Why compare a movie to a anime? Also it's not better the gears music is fucking awful

>>150777137
/frz/ was a terrifying place

>>150776353
It's "adult" in that it's not specifically targeting children, due to how non-anime animation is commonly seen as "childish"

>>150777513
>Whether /co/ can jerk off
why is /co/ so sex focused anyway? has it always been life this, or did the discussions used to be more balanced across various topics years ago?

>>150777562
Because it's not using that awful Spiderverse style animation.
And it had a Gamera crossover, which automatically makes it better than everything ever

>>150777823
>why is /co/ so sex focused anyway?
Terminal online due to anti-social tendencies (or they're just loser assholes and don't realise this), and that these people have access to literal zettabytes of porn at their fingertips

So, constant discussions of sex and sexual situations is "normal" to them.

>>150777183
You retards simply can't fathom somwthing being popular if autists on /co/ aren't constantly talking about it? This was already gaining momentum to be a solid hit amongst usual animation fans but then it hit the kids and became a cultural phenomenon that way.

>>150778014
sometimes i wish had a coomer containment thread like /toy/ does

>>150765789
The symphogear costumes+ transformations are pretty good in my humble opinion.
>>150771414
>>150777562
Symphogear starts a little slow but at its best is better written than KPDH and the set action pieces are more interesting. Of course most people would drop before it gets there. If you want an animu that did this concept before anyone else try Macross do you remember love. It's absolutely fantastic.

>>150775174
>Idk, old /co/ had higher standards
/frz/ and /hsg/ says otherwise

>>150780986
the symphogear costumes can look good to anime fans, but as someone who is more normie, they look ridiculous to me

and one of the transformations was zooming in on the green one's thighs, but she looked like a kid. ew.

i like seeing chickenhare get discussed, i've never heard of anywhere else mentioning it

>>150770532

>>150774487
>the way the protagonists glazed the fans and treated them like the most important thing ever was cringe inducing
isn't that what IRL idols actually do even though it's all an act

>>150780986
See, shit like that gif is why I couldn't get into Symphogear. It's just too silly. And I'm a lifelong anime watcher so I have a high tolerance for anime silliness.

KPDH sounds like it would be a wacky concept too, but it's actually really grounded. All it took was the synopsis at the start of the movie and I was on board.
Music igniting the souls of the audience and focusing that power on the musicians is a cool concept, and it's only a short step from "play music to drive away evil spirits" which is common in religion.
And the Huntrix weapons are ceremonial tools related to korean shamanism. When you understand the background it makes perfect sense how the demon hunters turned into pop stars in the modern era.

Meanwhile Symphogear had weird mech transformations which seems totally out of step with any sort of mystical connection with the audience or the power of song.

RUN FASTER, SWIFTIES

>>150782191
This synopsis has made me want to watch the movie less. I thought it was about a bunch of kpop fangirls figuring out their favourite kpop boyband are all demons stealing peoples' souls, and then hunting them. I'm finding out it's generic garbage.

>>150756258
I wish the mods would actually be specific what does and doesn't count as western. If we went with the literal definition only Anglosphere and western Europe cartoons and comics would be allowed because if you refered to Mexico and Russia as examples of "Western civilization" you would get laughed out the room in any other situation. Then you have things that aren't western no matter how you stretch the terms like middle eastern, African , central Asian and S.E.A which while rare does pop up a cartoon every once a while. That should mean Western by /co/ standards is anything not from the Sinosphere but mods will turn a blind eye to Korean/Chinese things if they look close enough like a western cartoon. Look I just like consistent rules, not a fan of Anarcho tyranny.

>>150756258
People acting as though this is somehow /a/ material when it's a Western studio doing Western animation just because it's handling an Eastern topic is dumb, or are we going to kick Mulan off of /co/ and lay claim to Cyperpunk 2077 cause it's a Western setting? Nezha is actually contentious in that it's a chink studio despite them aping Pixar/Dreamworks.

>>150782313

>>150782850
There's no way it's winning best Song/Musical because it's competing against every theater kid's wet dream in Wicked finally hitting the big screen even if I'm personally pissed about how they butchered Defying Gravity at the end of the first one because they didn't want to have the leads act as they do in the play and be rightfully pissed at each other only to get the reprise later where the double entendre of the words is used beautifully with a friendly delivery, but I'll be surprised if it doesn't win best Animated considering it's competition this year is largely a trashfire and every voter is gonna have their kids force them to watch it.

>>150781527
>the symphogear costumes can look good to anime fans, but as someone who is more normie, they look ridiculous to me
I can get that. I find them fun and fitting for the mecha musume theme.

I like that silliness but like I've already mentioned it's not something easy to get into so I understand why someone would drop it but at its best I enjoyed it way more than kpdh.

It's less ethnocentrism and more that there's nowhere else to discuss things from outside North America, Europe, and Japan. Not to mention that a lot of Western shows are animated in Korea and France, and we occasionally get a Toonami thread or two.

I dont understand that part, dont they have a better version of ozempic ready? It basically makes your muscles move twice as much with no food, while making it much easier to suffer those diets. It just doesnt add up in

why are you speaking like a pirate

/co/ has the same mentality as koreans and chinese. they love and shill their slop inspired by the japanese media but they hate japan with passion and would never admit how it's inspired by japan.
so maybe it's painful for them to see chinese and koreans doing the same thing because they can't help but realize they are doing the same thing.

I hate Taylor Swift!!

bros should I watch this? Im not a girl, the jokes and animation seems cute at first glance. Will I have to cringe from all the mary sue'ism abounded?

Are we Normies now?

Like what?

>Are we Normies now?
4channers have always been more of a failed normie type of group, nesting alongside their counterparts ie autists. While aware of his low status, the failed normie will snigger at the autist

I don't think the characters are Mary Sues, but they do have difficult pasts. I say go for it!

>The whole "Super perfect popstars are ACTUALLY normal people who binge eat fast food and stuff when they're not on stage" was the most boring, hackneyed lamost fan servicey characterization they could have done.
It just reminded me of Totally Spies. Obviously not a thing for boys, but the product is aimed at girls which is fine.

>>150796408
That's exactly what it reminded me off too

Both this netflixslop and Symphogear are the exact same kind of cringeworthy garbage that I unironically worry for the mental health of any male past the age of 6 watching this trash.

If Wicked has both of its original songs nominated that'll basically split the votes for them.

I think the best scene was when they showed the world at night during the show intro, china, japan and south korea is all lighted up, and the north korea is totally dark. Somehow I know that was the worst koreans flexing on their counterparts

>>150757505
soulless CalArts vibe

Is J-Pop better than K-Pop? I find the latter too homogeneous and inauthentic, like you can sense the fakeness. It’s why a few of Rumi’s songs work: the actual singer was rejected after years of prep, so the written anguish comes from the singer’s actual pain. It isn’t false.

The weight gain weirdos noticed them fast.

I love Japan. South Korea has no Seoul and China is too repressive to make anything genuinely from the heart.

>>150782850

It better get a nom at least before losing to some indie film with subtitles released in 10 theaters nobody even watched.

>>150766950
>Fuck that, kids need to know this stuff.
I mean they get it everywhere else, this world is filled to the brim with sex and violence

netflix has a korean film called
Lost in Starlight that was released this year

>When an astronaut leaves Earth for Mars, the vast infinite space divides star-crossed lovers that crosses the cosmos.

how come it feels like nobody has noticed it?

>>150770199
>Main female character actually gets the guy to love her despite him being a villain tho (based hetero)
alright so as I understood it, the main villain got redeemed into bf, and then he's gone, and then she kinda forgets about him? I was kinda expecting the "I miss you too" scene at the end, but no, she's just 100% happy

Did you cry when Rumi was in pain?

>”Why couldn’t you love me?”
>”I do love you!”
>”ALL OF ME!!!!!!!”

Bro it's fucking 4chan, it's basically a porn site. /co/ really doesn't stand out when you compare it to /a/, /tv/, or /v/ in that regard, which are similarly fixated if not more so on animated kids

>>150798610
>it's basically a porn site
it didn't have to be when they have red boards and blue boards
