The K-POP demons are not just one of the biggest animated films of the decade, now it is one of the most popular original films Netflix of all time. It was last week that set a new streaming service record by claiming the best place after its release more than five weeks after its release, without mentioning how the songs of his two fictional bands are top graphs around the world.
The film has not received the theater edition, and some of them are curious to see if it would experience the same level of success if it was not so widely available to any kind of audience.
You can't go on social media without seeing a fanart of his three main characters or hitting a video tiktok without hearing “Soda pop” or “Golden” flashing in the back. It is amazing to see the film with such a fascinating but simple concept country with a bang, and I'm not surprised that Sony/Netflix is already considering how to expand it to franchise. There is potential for continuing, spin-off, multimedia projects and unfortunately for remake live events.
K-pop hunters would not be the same out of animation
In an interview with the sister screen Rant, director Maggie Kang has already expanded to include a real possibility of continuing or similar sequel and noted how “there are a lot of pockets that we can explore” in terms of three heroines, Rumi, Mira and Zoey. Each girl has the charisma needed to wear her own movies or individual character arches.
Also, I would not be too shocked if Sony and Netflix had already tapped on Kang to potentially hold the sequel, because its popularity is widespread enough to slowly but surely become franchises. Animation, however, takes time, especially a film like this that has been in production for half a decade, so you can't help yourself, but you wonder if the corporations will use their popularity in a different way. Through goods, a television series with a lower budget, or perhaps a remake of a live event.
The mythology of the K-POP demons also concerns the music team of every generation to fight the demons to protect the human empire. What began as small bands singing in public houses has spread to a girl group at the same level of popularity as BTS or Blackpink performing in wrapped arenas, all in an attempt to save the world. It is so fun and smart and expresses the level of lush ridiculousness that the animation of this ILK does so much justice.
If anything at all, demons hunters are proof that you can create animated univers and characters with immediate attractive across the media. Just look at how the songs from Huntrix are mapped across different streaming services right now.
Animation Sony Pictures Animation has changed the industry forever by publishing Spider-Man: to the spider in 2018. This superhero masterpiece was the breath of the fresh air in the animation landscape, which has largely left the traditional 2D art in favor but repeating efforts from Pixar, and lighting that left the studios along the audience. disabled.
The critical success of Spider-Verse and the campaign was evidence that things could be different, and since then we have seen similar gems such as Mitchells vs. Machines, Nimona, Padouchy, Puss in Boots: Last Wishes and now K-POP Hunters. Perhaps more exciting that Sony will put all the lessons from this experience into a brand new property.
Turn remake live action feels like confession of slaughter
While the official discussion of K-POP demons who received adaptation to a living event has not yet occurred, and just now only a few rumors are swirling, it is still afraid that I cannot help with regard to how the main society responded to the success of animation in the past. In addition to drawing on, Disney is not able to continue his original effort, now there is a living action on board the train and why wouldn't it be when Lilo & Stitch has already earned $ 1 billion around the world? Money Talks, but it also frames the original version of such films as artistically inferior, as if their history had to be rewritten instead of being accepted by new generations.
I wrote about this unfortunate phenomenon earlier, especially when the academy described the animation as a child medium and something that cannot be taken seriously, especially in comparison with the efforts of live actions that apparently require more respect because they do not care about the young audience. The assumption that is in fact false, but which irritably did not prevent the bleeding into public consciousness.
I tried to recommend many animated films or programs to family and friends to be told “it's for children” when they move to something else. This view exists only because of unfair history and we should not have to adapt the animated classics – old and new – to live action to make it useful.
It is likely that I am worried about anything, and the K-POP demons will be called the animation of their home forever, but with film and watching millions, it is only a matter of time until there is a discussion about living events. I want to see how this universe grows with time, but not if it means throwing out what is so special in the first place.
