I watched Agent Vinod at the theater when I was living in India and I'll admit it was one of the more surreal propaganda experiences of my life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZCOnDuL6pM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d9nvq3402M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pRfURBQlIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViPQgsjytjY lol Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan got married after shooting this and are now referred to as 'Saifeena'

ThanosWasRight posted:This looks like they stripped all the anti-machistic sentiment and the Mulan hating traditional chinese rituals for how sexist they are out of the original. lol none that was in the ""original"" mulan, the whole 'rebelling against tradition and be true to yourself' was a completely american injection. the original legend is essentially about mulan being a perfect genius who takes her father's place, stays in the army for 12 years while being super good at everything, then goes back home while everyone in the army begs her to stay bc she has to fulfill her duty as a good daughter and get married. the original is all about lecturing kids about filial duty and obligation.

i grew up too poor to watch disney movies. aside from random clips of disney stuff, ive only seen pinocchio & the lion king in full so here's my outsider's view on whether to include a witch in live action mulan: they should double the witches, halve the propaganda, and unionize all workers. all cops are bastards, china is communist in name only. disney execs know what they did.

Just because she’s using magic doesn’t mean she’s a witch, she might have a very real role in Mongolian/hun society. Shaman even.

Count me the gently caress in. Steve Trevor loving exploded in 1918, though. He got blowed up. Is 1984 Steve Trevor a robbit or something?

WW84 looks pretty awesome. Not sure how Steve Trevor's back (always thought it was just dream sequences or something) but not dying to find out ahead of time. Definitely gave me a Thor: Ragnarok vibe with the playful retro treatment and the trailer ending with a brief flash of WW going super saiyan (like Thor conjuring lightning without his hammer at the end of the T:R trailers).

Eh nothing in that trailer really made me excited or feels like it’s any different than any number of comic book movies. The first one was entertaining enough and I’m sure this one will be too, but it hardly lit a fire under me. I guess we should just feel grateful when a DC film doesn’t look like utter dross.

I like the retro vibe but yeah that trailer didn’t do much for me. That said WW was good imo and I don’t have many reasons to think this will be bad.
