OS has different ratings. Okay some of them are not verified but rating in Hong Kong, China, Korea, India does not say so

China & Korea hates POC movies. Shang-Chi, BP2 & now TLM. There is a trend here which proves that.

Shang chi and BP2 just got poor reception lol.

It's not a TLM racial backlash situation.

Poor reception only in China & Korea. In rest of the world reception of SC & BP2 was good.

By POC I mean Black, American chinese or Korean actors. Aladdin actor's face was pretty fair in that movie.

We don't have many black people in Asia. People tend to relate/connect with what look like them. Sure we don’t have white people too but in real world white race is generally look upto here. The beauty standards are such that people prefer fairer skin.

 

so black films will always find it tough here.

Yikes. An absolute disaster in China.

If only there was some other movie with a black lead looking to explode globally soon.

Yeah Marvel will give you that, though if this was Peter Parker and not miles, it was easy Billie.

I'm from India and very few Chinese & Korean movies runs in theatres here. I don't know if there is audience of China & Korea movies in India. @charlie Jatinder  knows better about this. But if they make blockbuster movies on the level of Avengers/Star Wars, and if they releases in theatres here I'll definitely give them try. It seems like Chinese and Korean people don't like to watch Black lead movies and American Chinese-Korean actor movies as there is a trend about this which I can't ignore.

Majority of Americans use this statement when Asian Films doesn't work in their country. I wish if you all could used the same statement against The Little Mermaid

First of all I'm not calling Chinese & Korean people racist just because they are not interested in Black lead or American Chinese movies as they themselves are POC like me. As @charlie Jatinder said people in India, China & Korea like to watch movies of fair face actors and that's the reason of low interest in Black lead movies in these countries.

It's not racist to reject any movie with dark skinned people?

I would doubt that, it would have to do 500m+ domestically for that, audiences in the international market are not very interested in animated superhero movies., Spiderverse 2 will be much stronger in the domestic market than OS, just like the first (and that would happen even if it was Peter and not Miles), I don't think the actors not being white has a big thing, we can see it with the Fast and Furious franchise, that it is much more successful internationally than domestically, and most of the franchise protagonists are non-white.
