Japanese Culture, India, Spanish, Chinese, S.Korea movies are now outselling American entertainment products...so now Zionist Maoist Trump will save pedo Hollyweird by placing sanctions and tariff on movies of the world
Voight on deals with Saudi, Israel's Wall, bomb Palestine, Lack of Epstien files and on Drumpf Trumpenstein
"God answered our prayers"
America's cultural products and movies and superheroes do not sell anymore.
The Japanese stuff is selling however.
DC comics and movies and VideoGames and Baseball and Marvel and all this stuff is part of America's modern mythology, its like the Romans and Chinese had their own legends. Japan has dominated the video game indudtsry for years, South Korea and HongKong movies already had their own Asian cult followings, Italy and France and others had their own toon culture and movies but now Japan animation or Japanese anime and Manga is totally outselling in the USA, it outsells US Marvel stuff, the Disney stuff, the scifi, the DC superheroes are all flopping.
The DC Universe from Warner Bros kinda sucks, its like they rushed everything trying to make the next Ironman, Jurrasic Park, Avengers, Titanic, Xmen, Avatar, Spider-Man block buster.
The Corona might have been the final death blow, the Covid virus the final nail in the ocffin. Everything selling now is Asian, its Manga or its Anime. The US comicbook is dead.

Studios going broke and the death of their Woke-Culture, a Japanese toon and comic called Demon Slayer outsold the entire US comic industry combined.
They seem to now be retconning warping characters liek Captain America and Superman for absolutely no reason than political correctness, making them now a Lesbian, Black, Muslim, Transexual whatever for werid political reasons. Hollywood used to be the best and most innovative movie industry in the world but its gone weird, the perverted agenda stuff has been exposed and Hollywood has changed in past couple of years. South Korea is giving better quality in terms of movies, Japan is doing better toons.
There seems to be constant Agenda Pushing in video games and Comicbooks in the West, they want to make Superman Black, Captain America is now a gay antifa Q-Anon transexual, Miss Marvel becomes a muslim islamic etc. Some people just want a good comic, a fun story in a video game or to read without others coming in and hijacking and pushing their weird narcissistic political agendas. American Comics have gone to the most loved and are the most hated most overrated of all the arty book forms out there.
Japan toons are selling better, Manga is taking over the world.
Strange how Manga is selling better than comics currently.

Is it over for them? For whatever reason Manga, Japanese games and Anime are selling great in the USA, but Hollywood and US comicbooks are no longer selling.

Don't worry dude. Captain Marvel and her neo-Victoria's Secret clad diversity hire Avengers crew is going to save the brand when Phase 4 rolls out.
You forgot the New New Warriors dude.
I did them a favor and re-wrote Issue #1 for them, but they haven't gotten back to me and still haven't released it yet.
Maybe I should tell them I identify as a vaccinated black female lesbian midget amputee and we can get this thing finally published.

The latest super hero flicks and the Disney Star Wars films besides being Woke also suffer from bad writing, and when fans complain they're mocked by the the douchebags that work at the studios. They thought that plenty of CGI and action scenes were enough to over come bad lazy writing BUT, fans have turned away from STAR WARS, STAR TREK, Doctor Who and the super hero films. Wonder Woman 1984 bombed and the Star Wars and Star Trek TV shows have no viewers, same for the super hero shows on CW. Also, the direction that Doctor Who has gone has ruined it. But it may not matter anymore, most of the 18-49 crowd doesn't watch TV or go to movies anymore, they're busy playing video games.

Nah. He wasn't always a dude. The DC one isn't related at all, and the Marvel one was a dude. But he died of cancer and Carol Danvers was a real thing in the comic books after that. She actually died at one point because X-Men's Rogue killed her in a fight on a bridge.

Like I said, female Captain Marvel was a thing. It could have been done well had there been good writing behind it instead of an agenda.
What they REALLY wanted to do was shoehorn Carol Danvers into the universe very late in the game and ret-con everything that had happened up to that point and make her the "savior" in End Game. At least the fan backlash put the brakes on that and gave her a very small role in End Game.
But now that they've blown their load and raced to tell most of the biggest stories to make a quick buck, they can't go back to small events and small characters with no huge payoff looming without some sort of gimmick.
So Marvel Phase 4 is going to kill off most of the white males (including Dr. Strange now, apparently), cram a lot of diversity hires in there and hope that it doesn't shit the bed.
SPOILER ALERT: It will shit the bed.
The MCU is done.

Seriously man... You've got to check out this video. It will give you context to the re-written story I posted above.
It's currently sitting at 6.1k likes and 294k dislikes, and the comic was never made.
It was pretty much universally hated. I'm pretty sure my old man who was an avid comic collector in his youth shed a tear when he saw it.
It's clown world.

Yeah. Some article was celebrating the "first kiss" issue as "unprecedented" in sales numbers.
Kind of hilarious, really. No. 60,000 some-odd issues sold is far from unprecedented. The Death of Superman in 1992 sold over 6 Million copies. The re-boot of X-Men in 1991 was the highest selling comic by volume selling over 8 Million copies.
What the writer of the article actually meant (but didn't say in the headline) was that it is unprecedented for the 5th issue of a book to sell more than the first issue. But why would that be something to celebrate when nobody was buying your book it the first place?
It wouldn't. Not for the creators or the owners. Only for a journalist with an agenda.
I can't even find any sales figures for issue #1 for the 1987 version of Superman that ended up with the "Death of Superman" in issue #75.
I wouldn't assume it was very much though. 1987 was the second year in comic book history that is now referred to as the "Dark Age", which ended in 2000. People were just starting to find out that nobody was going to make any money collecting any of the new stuff coming out. (All of those comic books I bought and put in bags with cardboard are worth less than toilet paper today)
The last issue of the original Superman run that directly preceeded this reboot only sold 161,000+ copies. That's down from regularly selling over one million copies per issue in the 60's and over half a million per issue in the 70's.
Long story short...
Killing Superman made a lot of people who didn't buy comics buy that issue.
Making Superman kiss a dude hardly left an impression on an already failing reboot.

So there's this website called Flix Patrol, it shows the top movies or who tops sales and downloads in top shows, you can break them down by country, region, nation or look at providers like Apple, Disney, HBO, iTunes etc
Some of the top shows are a S.Korean show again called 'Hellbound' then a Norway show 'Beforeigners' and Money Heist which is Spanish, there are English speaking Hollywood movies but a lot of them are old shows and old movies, Friends for example is there or Saved By The Bell or 'Train to Busan' a Korean movie or 'Punisher' the old 1989 dolph lundgren punisher is making it into top 10s, there is also a bunch of Japan cartoon from manga or anime.

Jon Stewart: (After unequivocally stating that he did not claim that J.K. Rowling was antisemitic and that he loved the Harry Potter moves probably more than a man of his considerable age should have and then making sure to get his face up close and in the center of the frame)
"Let me say this to Newsweek: Your business model, is FUCKING ARSON. And not the good kind. Not the good kind of arson where they light stuff and control it to prevent forest fires in the future. The kind of arson where you're on the mountain and you've got fuckin' 5 minutes and you don't know where the dogs are. Like that's you're business model. And now all the shitheads pile in to this ridiculously out of context nonsense that you put out there.
And let me tell you something, Newsweek. You used to mean something. You were my go to at the airport when the kiosk was out of TIME magazine.
So again, I cannot stress this enough. I'm not accusing J.K. Rowling of being antisemitic. She need not answer to any of it. I do not want the Harry Potter movies censored in any way. It was a lighthearted conversation.
GET A FUCKING GRIP.
My final word is simply this.... Good day."

Stewart is a degenerate, he tries to play all cool and centrist but my feeling is he is not. That's my gut feeling on it.
Asia also has its issues salary men on trains reading some tentacle porn comic, school girl prostitution
I still like comedians and prefer Bill Maher
because he's more honest with himself and others
Stewart will always fall back to his audience who are also degenerates
just look at how few of the ComedyCentral, SNL crowd who will refuse to call out the strange hollyweird thing where they are abusing kids. All a perverted club where things are hushed up or cowards afraid to call things out because of some gig or job they may loose. His hosting talent is limited the Oscars in 2008 set the modern record for its smallest number of viewers at that time: it 'drew the worst ratings' I think he was more relevant in the Bush jnr years against people like host Bill O'Reilly. I don't think he's bad a lot of what he did was good treatment of veterans and talking out about 9/11 first responders. However sometimes I find him two-faced, doing soemthing and led by a degenerate audience and I'm always suspicious of people at these brotherhood sisterhood Lodge clubs for example the drink and drugs and blackmail that might happen at the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, the The New York Times is always fawning over him.
Anyways that's just my opinion
and like assholes everybody has one

Ahsoka, a Star Wars spin-off series, was probably one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2023, which makes its current ratings quite disappointing. While the series currently holds very high positions across various charts, the fact remains that it has weaker viewership compared to Disney's previous Star Wars projects. Now, its ratings are being destroyed by One-Piece, Netflix's live-action adaptation of a popular anime.

The West is officially in culture collapse
Not so long ago, you had huge bands huge movie brands the Scifis, the James Bond, the comicbooks, Terminators, Jurassic Park, LOTR, Ironman and Superman, the Star Treks and Star Wars. In a year of blockbusters, Avengers movies, Matrix, Harry Potter, Nobody would have predicted Hollywood destroying itself and giving it all to Asia, letting South Korea win by self-sabotage.
Then suddenly they had to put weird political stuff in, suddenly a black ffeminist muslim man-woman transexual odd thing with a politics message is everywhere
'THE MESSAGE'
How Hollywood destroyed itself and gave it all to other indie entertainment companies and foreigners like the South Koreans.
Team America Hollywood Culture Win! said an American political analyst on inter-Korean affairs
Another political science moron who got it completely wrong
BBC Dad
twitter handle 'Robert_E_Kelly'
claims 'Korea fatigue' would come to the USA and Anglo-American culture would be great and worship itself
https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/why-south-korea-so-obses
sed-japan
and yet people pay to listen to such morons talk, he's not always wrong he did get some facts correct and he is successful appearing on multiple news channels around the world and published by the Australian think tank
but as you get old you can be out of touch, maybe he has kids maybe they have grown up and can explain to him what is hip and 'cool'.
To be fair to this man he is just busy and older on life, maybe he is busy with a family, he probably didn't have much time for culture and it was 2015 ...Obama was still a thing and Trump had not been elected yet, Europe in its own foolish stupidity thought it would open its borders to waves and waves of illegal immigration and give some jihadis islamist types 'refugee' status
Me I'm in a far away place far from Korea, I have been to South Korea some time ago but here's the thing me far removed from all that I see Korean products maybe a CD or DVD appear on a far off remote location on the planet, if I get a tv switch it on to a streaming show I will see a S Korean drama or S Korea horror or scifi pop up and we have not even reach saturation with Korea culture.
I went for a drive the other day and found an old second hand used book, DVD, novel comicbook shop, what stood out to me was the insane level of Japan Manga for sale, products from Japan translated their animated cartoons put into comicbook form. I see online Japan products are selling inside some of the bigger chains, they compete against mainstream books and Marvel DC comics on every bookshelf now all over the world. Hollywood can only blame itself for what it has done to destroy the US industry.
In South Korea they no longer just copy or get inspired by something from China or the USA or copycat a Japan idea, they have their own industry 'The Webtoon' or 'Manhwa'
Korea's Webtoon the South Korea version of Anime

After being dumped into The Pit, Rudo awakens to find himself disoriented in a foul-smelling, endless landscape of trash. Rudo is then attacked by large beasts made of trash, and fends them off until he is rescued by a man named Enjin. The man explains to Rudo that he is in fact not underground, but has fallen to the surface from "The Sphere". After testing him and awakening his power as a "Giver", Enjin invites Rudo to join him as a "Cleaner". Enjin explains that the Cleaners are an organization of Givers who use the power of unique weapons known as "vital instruments" to hunt the trash beasts which attacked him. Rudo reluctantly accepts Enjin's offer to join the Cleaners, so long as it helps accomplish his goal of returning to The Sphere and enacting revenge on those who dumped him into The Pit.

So the Gamer thing in the West is going more online more credit cards, gone more censorship Orwellian Feminist Open Border again, ok I understand you don't want kids going full violence into a weird degenerate world, gambling is bad, filth pornography, jihad of rightwing nazi or leftwing bolsevik...but do kids actually have credit cards are they bombing banks and playing Grand Theft Auto?
the Asian companies seem to use a different tactic, offer a small game online for free. Hook them in with a concept or story or characters and later sell that product as a real physical game.
while you do have creepy violent games sell in Asia, there are huge hits in Asia and the West like 'Resident-Evil' franchise they have Shin Megami Tensei Persona it seems to be Monster themed Occult Card Game themed but a lot of games are innocent. They do violent or adult stuff, they have 'sexy idol' or thriller or 'horror' but their games can be very innocent biggest sellers are the cartoony, fun, cooperation, platform, fantasy adventure stuff Dragon Quest, the Zeldas, the Sonics, the Final Fantasy, the Marios, Kingdom Heartsseems to be an action role-playing game mixed with Disney Warner Bros characters. As shocking as it can be for adults to learn their kids play GTA in Asia a lot of the trending games are innocent like Mario, Sonic, Tetris, Pokemon...and should you really be giving your kids a credit card? now you want government, corporations, banks the predatory types involved with children going online with credit cards??
What happened to the day you went shopping, there was a store of electronics products and you physically went to purchase something without all this online credit card stuff?
