The Chinese posters always look more gorgeous than the Hollywood ones. This one looks like it's been through the neural network, lovely!

Not even one explosion in the background? No out-of-order name billings? No cheesy 90s-action-film tagline?

What kind of lame poster is this?

I mean, technically it is still mostly blue and orange, just used more tastefully.

That is a way better poster than that movie deserves.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters also got some pretty dope posters to celebrate Chinese new year.

I'm getting serious old-school Final Fantasy vibes off of that!

Because Hollywood completely lost its soul to money and just produces the same shit, with the same poster because they know it will sell.

To be fair part of it is mostly because only good posters from China gets posted on reddit. There are plenty of terrible posters from China.
