Who the hell thought that trying to sell to Chinese woke movies set in China was a good idea? If China started to make westerns drenched in Chinese moral values, who'd think that'd sell well in US?
What a clueless buffoon you truly are. This film was inspired by Southeast Asian culture, not Chinese culture.
shareDude, cultures and countries don't always fit exactly. The Cantonese area and surroundings in China could be considered part of South East Asia. There's lots of influences between countries at the south of China and the south of China itself.

The production team specifically focused on countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and so on. They didn't take South China into a consideration - like, at all.
And seriously, what about this film was even pandering to China? Are you sure you're not confusing this with 'Mulan'?

That logic sounds like it's coming from someone who regularly watches Friedberg/Seltzer travesties. Germany and Austria literally speak the very same language and come from a very similar cultural background. Southeast Asian countries speak very different languages from each other AND come from a very different cultural background that is not even related to China, except for Vietnam, which is culturally closer to East Asia than Southeast Asia to begin with.
shareIf this is what Disney came up to appease the Chinese market then they're total idiots. There is nothing China about this movie. It's a hodge podge of wide-range Asian cultures spanning a vast continent and multiple archipelagos mixed together. It doesn't make any sense.
It's like a Chinese made a movie for the Americans by mixing cowboys, Cubans and Vikings and Aztec imageries plus Romans characters, featuring Ancient Greek Phantheons with Jamaican reggae music.

What do Chinese have to do with this? These ar e all SE Asian cultures.
shareDisney thinks SE Asia is China that's why.
Ironically China thinks SE Asia is China too π€£π€£π€£π£ππππ’π«
Your last sentence sucks but unfortunately, true. SE Asians hate China because of that, trying to claim territories that aren't theirs.
shareIf that's actually true, then we would've seen some China-influenced elements in this film, but we didn't, maybe except for Vietnamese cultural aspects since that country is culturally closer to China, South Korea, and Japan than its neighboring Southeast Asian countries.
shareMagic dragons have no place in Chinese folklore or mythology π.
Bonus points for an affinity to water which is DEFINITELY NOT something traditionally part of Chinese mythology regarding dragons either.
LOL.
