If this happens it is one hundred percent the last nail in the coffin of the modern studio film industry. God I hope it happens. I want that whole fucking market to pathetically melt into water like Senator Kelly in Xmen - ThreadSky

In a tariff countermeasure, China has banned the import of US films.

Sorry I'm a fun hating weenie who hates the big budget film industry. I hate shitty movies with shitty actors filmed in shitty blue rooms as they shill for the US military made at the cost of small nations' gdps and make more money than I'll ever see in my fucking life. I hate them. Sue me.

Mostly I just want MCU fans to suffer. I find them to be some of the most tiresome, unimaginative, mediocre people who dream of nothing but consumption of content. I know I sound like Orson Welles but I say with one hundred percent sincerity that I find MCU fans utterly pathetic.

Yes I understand the irony of citing 2000's "Xmen" in my rant that ends with disparaging the MCU.

Tbf X-Men with it's tiny little 75 million dollar budget might as well be an itty bitty indie movie compared to every 300 mil behemoth they're plopping out every month these days

God it's such a trip watching marvel movies made before the MCU boom. Back when these movies had like tight budgets and the big action money shot of a fight was wolverine doing a slow mo move around a piece of the statue of liberties crown that now would happen in the background of a scene

Not to mention, they would've actually hired craftsmen to build parts of the statue of liberty, instead of making a warehouse full of non-union VFX guys give up their vacation time a week before release

I want better films made with less money by better paid people and I'm not kidding

Don't forget the entertainment industry as a whole - movies, music, TV shows, sports, even theater and books somehow. All of them tainted beyond moral acceptability because of greed, lust, hatred, and massive amounts of social peer pressure.

America will probably end up in a Scooby-Doo landscape where everything is abandoned.

China is such a huge market for dumping much of the big budget Hollywood slop, especially for parent company Disney and those soulless live action remakes.

a minimum of 10-20% of their box office would instantly evaporate if China banned American movies, it sounds ideal to me.

Absolutely agreed. Classics are coming out all the time, but none of them from the big studios. Them dying would be a strict benefit to the world, as everything they make is more soulless and vapid than ever.
