In what world does the Barbie movie have a plot that requires a map showing territorial waters of the South China Sea? Even if she was traveling the world this specific part of a map seems like it’s zero value added.
zero value for you. lots of $value for someone trying to sell a movie in China. it also works here, look at us pushing the bait to the top of the active feed and help let everyone know, that there’s a new Barbie movie. oh and it’s making hUgE waves globally, look they banned it. it’s troll marketing and the guardian is just feeding people ads.
I haven’t seen this movie, but in both Uncharted and Abominable it is a normal map but with imaginary dashes in the South China Sea. They know Americans won’t care.
In Uncharted it is during one of those airplane scenes like they have in Indiana Jones.
Yeah. That’s my biggest question, too. I don’t care about Vietnam banning a movie, but I wonder how and why the South China Sea figures into things. Is the map only onscreen for a second or two, or are we talking about a significant plot point?
Also, how did they feel about the travel poster that said “Surf Vietnam” in Back to the Future II? Five minutes ago, I would have thought that was an asinine question, but now I seriously wonder.

It’s pandering to the larger market.

Every time I hear about this movie it sounds even more unhinged

Oh, man, I’d love to watch some movie (any movie) where the female lead is replaced by Danny DeVito with absolutely no other changes.
Oops, looks like I dropped my Margot condom for my monster dong.
