I would ask that people don't watch it, because they have traitor to Hong Kong tool for the CCP; Jackie Chan, as a part of its production.
Like yeah, sure, Disney was bad enough but they're small change compared to the brutal Chinese dictatorship.
I'm not familiar with Jackie Chan's CCP/Hong Kong history, but I've not seen his name mentioned in quite a while, so wanted to look in to what he was doing on this film. I couldn't find a reference to him on the credits on IMDB. I searched and found a few articles stating that he/his team did not work on the film, only visited the set, which had sparked rumors of his involvement. Assuming that's accurate (and this was just some quick searching), then I wouldn't expect Jackie Chan benefits in any way from people watching this film. His name/brand probably benefits from people thinking he was involved though.
Look, if a CCP suit came over and fucked a congressman's wife, would you still assume he has no ties to the CCP?
I understand why you would think this. I looked it up. It's not true. He visited the set. His stunt team did NOT work on this movie.
Him and his stunt team travelling literally across the earth to the set is enough for me to boycott the entire marvel franchise after this point.
Bit of a stretch. But you do you.
You're a fucking weirdo
If opposing the most cruel and largest threat to mankind makes me a weirdo then I am a weirdo.
Explain how how that will affect anything if they're not involved financially.
I am convinced the CCP is financially involved, especially since the film is grossing hundreds of millions in China.
Lmao "trust me bro"
Nothing "trust me" about it, the CCP control all media into the state. It wouldn't get that sort of money unless they planned it in advance. At this point its less doing business and more of a bribe.
They're allowing it yeah. But Hollywood doesn't need help with a obviously popular Spider-Man movie sequel. If you're talking a shitty great wall movie with Hollywood actor that's different.
Jackie Chan is in it? Oh cool which bit?
