    and why the characters are talking in english but with the italian accent when the movie is set in Italy and they are italians?. This choice is so stupid 😅.

    To be loyal to the original in italian they should dub it like they are italo americans when they are just italians?

    Wow, you're really trying hard to hate this movie, aren't you?

    regardless of what a company says at the end of the day what matters imo is the enjoyment of a movie if you like raya good for you if not then good again, opinions are subjective.....speaking personally hollywood has also make movies about  ancient greece and using parts of our mythology ...that didnt work well at all imo ..but at the end of the day i didnt care i liked some these movie some others not...i never took them seriously yeah their adaptions are shit ...so what ? 

     

    PS thats only my opinion gus...you dont have to agree, i am also not saying that the situation is exactly the same , i am just using this example to make my point.If i didnt do it correctly feel free to correct me

     

    My point is Hollywood just make a good movie and we gonna see it. Cheap strategies like adding a few actors or few references won't work. Asia is way too big and diverse for that to happen.

    Avengers use none of those tricks and it's the highest grossing film in many countries.

    Do Vietnamese like Chinese movies more or Hollywood more?

    Hollywood movies for now but Chinese movies are growing fast

    Local movies are growing the fastest tho. Few years ago, top grossing movies in Vietnam are all Hollywood's. Now only Avengers and Fast & Furious movies can compete with local movies.

    Yeah. Exactly. Thank you.

    Raya claims it is Southeast Asian culture... there is no Southeast Asian culture - Southeast Asia is made up of different cultures; Singapore and Thailand is different, Indonesia and Vietnam is different etc... Lumping us altogether is crazy. But Asian Americans loved it.

     

    Similar to Shang Chi, i genuinely think reception in China.. even if it opens will be so-so, as can be seen in reception in some other parts of Asia. It is for Asian Americans, not really like East Asians living in Asia.

    I mean as a mandarin speaker watching the show; i feel the accent is all over the place - there is no way some of these actors can be related in real life. I.e. Father and Son. 😅

     

     

    Yeah

    Disney claimed Raya is the first South East Asians Princess. WTF is that even mean? I'm Vietnamese and in no universe we act like Raya. The only thing remotely Vietnamese about Raya is when Raya and Namaari calling each other “dep la”. That's vietnamese word but it sounds so strange in the movie, nobody in Vietnam use the word like that.

    I'm glad the movie boombed in SE Asia.

    And people in this thread can forget about the idea that casting one or two famous Chinese actor can increase movie's box office in Asia. That just seems a little insulting.

    China hates being pandered to. Just look at Mulan.

    LOL. They dont hate it, they hate the half-ass attempts.

    People need to realize Asians are very different from Asian Americans. I don’t feel any connection with Raya at all despite it being praised by Asian Americans.

    Moreover, Asia has 60% of the world’s population, contains 48 countries with very different cultures. We hate it when America movies lump at all together

    I've never bought into Wanda and Vision romance before in MCU movies but this show makes me root for them.

    That scene when they watch a sitcom together almost has me cried.

    Elizabeth Olsen is absolutely phenomenal. I hope Emmy takes notice.
