Last I checked, this is an American made movie for America first, and anyone else second. Who gives a damn what Russia is or is not. Russia can get buried in a snow storm for all I care. The only thing we lose is architecture.
Also, the theater in Alabama was one drive in. Who the hell goes to a drive in these days anyway? I guess if you need a private spot to spank your cousin you do...

Let's break down foreign box office number for a similar movie based on a toy-driven nostalgia property, Transformers: Age of Extinction. (This is just for reference, I'm not saying Power Rangers will make anywhere near this amount of money domestically or abroad.) Russian Box office for that movie was appx $45,000,000. Chinese box office for that movie was appx $320,000,000. That's $365,000,000 in lost revenue had they decided not to exhibit that film in China and Russia alone due to gay content (purely hypothetical, as that movie did not have any gay content, surprise surprise). Compare that to the film's US domestic box office, which was appx $245,000,000, a paltry sum in comparison. Now tell me again that American movies are made for America first. You have all these strong opinions about stuff that is verifiably, factually incorrect, and you're clearly not interested in educating yourself before running your mouth off. It's very difficult to have a conversation with you when you consistently misunderstand, and at times flat-out reject, reality. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 03-21-2017 at 08:40 PM.. |

The fact that TV shows, films, books, video games, et cetera are banned or censored in some places for including characters of the LGBT community is just stupid.

Actually, this is pretty bullshit, Deadpool is pansexual in the comics and in his movie, he hit on the pizza guy from the beginning of the movie

Also this notion that more LGBT characters in movies and TV shouldn't be celebrated because the same isn't done for straight characters is just silly. Those characters are noted and celebrated precisely because they AREN'T the norm in movies, and even when they do appear, they're often treated like stereotypes.
It's the same reason nobody makes a big deal when a film has an all-white cast but they do when it has an all black or Asian cast. There's nothing wrong with having an all-white cast, but it's not really all that special since that describes roughly 80-90% of American made movies.

Saw it. Harmless fluff like I thought, but they handled it with respect.
