There was the running joke that it would be the highest grossing movie of 2019, beating Endgame, TLK blah blah, surpassing 2B, OW of 1B WW etc. (But a few seemed to be true believers then).

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 8 minutes ago, UserHN said: Why? Censorship problems that will never be publicly specified. My understanding would be: Eight Hundred— for “whitewashing"' the role of KMT in Anti-Japanese War Better Days— for saying no to patriarchy The Last Wish— for sexual content/desires (of young adult) And more importantly these films have managed to tell their stories too well. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
