Curt hasn’t been this invested in a trainwreck since 38 Studios.

They’re not saying “We want to have major chinese characters in all your western films!”, ya know. They’re just saying “...look, can you stop adding in Chinese characters with zero impact on the plot and just exist to pander to us?”

Pander Harder was easily better than Pander Hard with a Vengeance.

If I’m actually going to go watch a film I’d like for the story to at least not be so bad that it distracts me from enjoying…
