The Marvel movies are awful, but from my understanding, they are made for mass audiences++. That is, they want to make movies that are easy to sell in China and India. That means less dialog because most people don’t want to read lots of subtitles, broad humor because it has to make sense in all cultures and languages, and themes that won’t offend the sensibilities of the various cultures.

The Disney shorts are a good suggestion. I will track them down. Thanks.



Within limits. The new Black Panther didn't release in China; neither did Shang-Chi. China's an important market for Disney but they're not afraid to ignore it from time to time.


that may be more political than business driven
