Maybe the next Spidy can be shot in Tianamen Square?

If you read that the right way, the probability increases dramatically!

This should wake people up about China.

Would love the non homo version of all movies.

I enjoyed seeing Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprising their roles

I agree. But you forgot to put organ harvesting on the list.

Neither do Democrats and RINOS. That Liberty thing is so embarrassing.

Alec Baldwin isn’t doing much lately.

In China the Statue of Liberty is a banned icon of the Tiannenmen Square protests where Chinese troops slaughtered Chinese students.

In short, it’s yet another dicktatorship like Russia that wants their way or they’ll throw a tantrum.

Sony is Japanese. American studios would have gladly removed the Statue of Liberty.

Of course this actually took place in 2021. And probably has a lot more to do with the fact that it’s 20 minutes of the movie than anything else.

That would be nice but no, Sony is a Japanese company.

ChiComs haven't forgotten.

The contempt George Bush and Brent Scowcroft deserve is infinite.

In China they believe instead in the “Statue of Harmony” which emphasizes their collectivism rather than individual freedom.

I thought Disney owned Marvel. Sony/Columbia pix must have some grandfather clause or something that allows them to distribute the Spidey flix.

Sony bought the Spiderman movie rights back in the 90s during the Marvel fire sale. Same time that Fox bought the X-Men. Having botched Spiderman a couple of times Sony is now in a co-development deal with Disney making Spiderman movies that are kind of in the MCU and getting to include Spiderman in “proper” MCU films. Sony also owns the Fantastic Four.

The brave Chinese students called the statue “The Goddess of Democracy.”

Agreed.

And the finale on the Statue of Liberty was fundamental to the movie.

Makes no sense to cut out that huge part of it.

Stupid Chicoms don’t know what they’re missing!

That would be rather hard to do since a large part of movie ending takes place on the Statue of Liberty.

LTG Scowcroft, USAF, ret., co-authored a book A World Transformed with the Nazi traitor, GHWB. Scowcroft was loyal to the Deep State.

Bush helped plan the JFK assassination and was almost successful in assassinating his predecessor, Ronald W. Reagan. As a cabal prime mover in 9/11, he saw to making trillions of dollars go unaccounted.

Any close confidant of GHWB has defiled himself, IMHO.
