I'm not very much a fan of magic poof TF. But I think that at the very least they should give Ming a really physical transformation, because seeing her transformation process for turning aggressively into her kaiju panda could be a lot hotter for my opinion.
But maybe some artists will give this kind of art to us.
Not so much lying as not knowing what the fuck you're talking about.
Actually, I'm surprised this movie hasn't received criticism from followers of Eastern religions, considering that the writers made Sun-Yee and the panda cult up out of whole cloth and are passing it off as "ancient Chinese religion". If anything, it's a parody of those beliefs.
Landon King
That doesn't make running the temple like a tourist trap any less capitalistic.
>"Chinese cultural representation is highlighted in a manner that feels deeply authentic. Never did I imagine I could watch Chinese ancestor worship, burning joss sticks at family altars just as I've done hundreds of times with my own family, in a mainstream Disney movie."
Jeremiah Foster
Chinese people don't really seem to give a shit about religious inaccuracies. Even Disney's Mulan, which purposely had its theme of Buddhism distorted by a Christian writer, didn't get a lot of flack for it.
Nicholas Williams
Do you think it would somehow have been less offensive to have used some existing set of beliefs for the fictional movie involving supernatural abilities?
Anthony Smith

>"The point isn't to push the bad stuff away, it's to make room for it, live with it."
Another whole cloth thing? I think that's what those fundies are so mad about it.
They go crazy that someone made a basic yin and yang reference

Gabriel Reed
It probably helps that they genuinely enjoy sharing their culture and temple. Its not a burden nor a get rich quick scheme to them.
Jonathan Adams
Now that I think about it, it's no surprise that Mei immediately wanted to make money off the panda when she saw the opportunity. Her mom taught her all the tricks on how to capitalize off of her cultural heritage. She raised a shrewd businesswoman.

exactly what Walter Chaw saidbut Walter Chaw was bothered by this movie... for a lot of reasons. He was obviously upset.
Does anyone ELSE find it cringe that there is a shine in fucking Canada? This is weeb as fuck.
>oh...how i wish that I could have a family shrine and be asian and rebellious and a teen girl...
Jack Bennett
>Does anyone ELSE find it cringe that there is a shine in fucking Canada?
it's based on one in California, smart one.
Elijah Collins
ahh...
haven't seen that video yet. Have seen others though. I guess I will now.
Andrew Gutierrez
>oh...how i wish that I could have a family shrine and be asian and rebellious and a teen girl...
also that's literally the writer/director's life... damn. It's weeb to literally be Asian now? Well Domee Shi didn't have a family temple business, as far as I know.
Jaxson Cruz
>He was obviously upset I get him, but Disney movies are never going to have nuanced depictions of cultures. They're going to play into stereotypes cuz its easy and simple
Jacob Howard
well parts of it was TOO REAL for him... he spent a lot of time talking about how traumatized his own mother made him.
Also he took the trauma Mei got personally.
Also went on a tangent on how he wanted white women to think he was attractive.
Chase Nguyen
>oh...how i wish that I could have a family shrine and be asian and rebellious and a teen girl... This but unironically.
Samuel Hughes
also some poetry because lyric user is a huge faggot
>Mei as being spoiled Her parent couldn't even spare $200. They are far from spoiled. Probably low middle class to poverty
Cooper Lopez
It's economic. They weren't just escaping oppression for freedom, they were looking for upward mobility. The isolation that happens from mainstream western culture and focus on family creates a desperate system where your family is all you're going to have. There are no dreams of moving out and making it on your own, that's not an option and it gets drilled into you that you will have no one if you go against the family. So you become a doctor.
Christopher Fisher
>Her parent couldn't even spare $200.
ehh could just be cheapasses...
My parents wouldn't even get cable/dish for my house. I bet they could have afforded it if they wanted. Though there was some bouts of unemployment...
I still had a PS2 and quite a few games. In 2002. I *think* it might have been the $300 cost, but maybe the $200 cost. The price was reduced in May 2002... can't remember when I go the thing.
But no, refusing to spend $200 for a concert ticket does not mean you are in poverty. I suspect you might be a zoomer.
Asher Morgan
They didn't want her to go and that was lot of money in 2002.
Nathan Hughes
I didn't know this was a reference to Invincible before I clicked on this.
Henry Mitchell
it's still a lot of money... for now.
Inflation adjusted is $320 or so.
Good lord...
Brandon Wilson
The money was the like the third reason the mom didn't want her to go. They're easily middle class. They own a business and the real estate value of the temple + their house is probably around 1 million if not more.
Jeremiah Perry
>real estate value of the temple + their house is probably around 1 million if not more.
now let us not speculate on the value of that real estate in current year... because it would be a lot
