Okay so the Chinese TLJ release really *did* insult their intelligence, lol. Looks like Poe explained the plan four times in the version they saw as well.

They didn't have any Chinese actors to promote the film like they did with Rogue One

Heres something interesting,
This proves what i have been saying about Rose, about how disney made her look ugly on purpose.

Look at how cute the app makes her with a few changes

A simple free face app on your phone did a better job that disney did... just think about that

 

[TonTon]

You're obsessed with her looks. Rose the hot mechanic with perfect make up wasn't going to make her more likable.

I wouldn’t pay any attention to polygon. They’re a garbage site even as a gaming site. They defend indefensible things like mass effect andromeda and push SJW agenda hardcore. Way past what people on here joke about even

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Has Already Been Pulled From Chinese Theaters

The Last Jedi china

Star Wars: The Last Jedi wasn’t the movie that Chinese audiences were looking for. The science-fiction sequel tanked in China, following up a disappointing $28.7 million debut with one of the worst second-weekend declines the Chinese box office had ever seen. To kick the movie while it was down, it came in second that weekend to the third film in a sexist domestic romantic-comedy series, The Ex-File 3: The Return of the Exes.


After a 92% drop in its second weekend, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has already been pulled from Chinese theaters, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jimmy Wu, chairman of nationwide Chinese cinema chain Lumiere Pavilions, told THR:


“The Last Jedi has already been completely pulled from cinemas here. It’s performed much worse than we could have expected.”

While Rian Johnson‘s film has shot to the top of the box office in North America, becoming the highest-grossing movie of 2017, Disney and Lucasfilm have failed to crack the ever-perplexing Chinese market, which controls a huge portion of the worldwide box office grosses thanks to its standing as the second-largest film market in the world. According to Forbes, Last Jedi is the worst-performing big budget movie in China since 2013’s The Lone Ranger. At this rate, Last Jedi will finish in China with only $50 million, performing worse than box office disappointments like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets ($62 million) and Geostorm ($65.6 million).

So what’s the cause of this surprising drop? Chinese market research experts tell THR that it’s because Chinese audiences are largely unfamiliar with the franchise, which has no cultural “legacy” in the country. The original trilogy never received a wide release in China, and young audiences mostly flocked to The Force Awakens out of curiosity, and Rogue One out of excitement for its Chinese stars Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen. But the box office performances of Star Wars movies have been degrading across the board, market researcher James Li said, with Force Awakens raking in $124 million in 2016 and Rogue One earning $69 million in 2017 — both well below Disney’s forecasts.

What another stupid argument. And thus why we have the Millennial's generation. Ignore the negatives, embrace the positives. Every one is special and just needs to believe they are perfect and can do no wrong.

He starts the article with "Star Wars: The Last Jedi is not a perfect film.

The pacing is off, it’s way too long and it throws away — for better or worse — huge swaths of what we expected from this trilogy. It’s a bold movie that takes the Star Wars saga in what feels like an entirely new direction, and it’s natural that some fans are going to feel left behind by these changes in tone and theme." Then ends the same article with "Luckily, there is no fire. But there is a movie that’s I found to be both slightly flawed but deeply beautiful. The vast majority of people seem to agree, even if their voices aren’t heard quite as well online." Another article pandering to Disney. 51% audience rating of disapproval sure does seem to dictate a majority.

So, basically, everyone should ignore every criticism ever made towards them/about something they like and only pay attention to the positives. Yeah, that'll work out great. Isn't that how we learn and adapt enabling us to try to fix our mistakes? Ignoring haters who lash out and are mean are one thing, but constructive criticism is another. The opening sentence in his own article makes no sense, as he points out legitimate problems with the movie, but they should just be ignored? WTF!!

Then keep it up good sir! There certainly had been a loss of steam

I’ll say it again.. this is how trump won. These people never learn. Not taking a side on the politics thing, think of trump what one will, but it’s this ‘ignore everyone who doesn’t agree with us and call their opinions worthless ( or racist or sexist etc)’ mentality that gets you into these situations. And in the end tlj did leave about $4-500k on the table and lost a lot of good will. He’s going to be in his little positive bubble and believe the feel-good 93% critic rating while the real feeling is the 49%. Then eventually reality will hit them in the head, and the 93% will turn out to mean nothing like with Hillary’s polls. (Remember how much more she fundraised as well) Man the similarities between trump and tlj continue to astound

Literally everything in the above paragraph can be said of the TLJ naysayers (cherry-picking only the "facts" and statistics that agree with your opinion, dismissing any opinions that disagree with you) and the fact that you can't see that is pretty amazing.
