Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group?

It’s a good movie, I watched it with the kids, we all liked it. Children like it as much as they did Frozen back then.
It’s one of the very few original movies nowadays which doesn’t just reheat some old franchise, so I’m all for it to succeed and show that it’s worth to make new original movies.
Is it tho? Only one character is developed… and her story is to accept her demon side, and then ban all demons?
Also the first enemies in the movie say they are here li attack the fans, then the next demons do the same thing.
Their bodies are proportioned like barbie, their ankles would break under them if they were made in real life proportions.
Its got one arguably catchy song…about nothing.
It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.
For Bladerunner for example:
Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.
Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”
The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.
And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.
I think it’s terrible too, but if people like it, I won’t yuck their yum.
Original? It’s Korean Frozen, and Frozen wasn’t original either.

my only complaint with it is the same complaint I have with all kpop: it’s autotuned to hell and back. I suppose many people like how it sounds, but it’s not for me
