The Force Awakens is a celebration of mediocrity

Maybe I was

It isn't as nearly as interesting a movie to audiences outside of the Western hemisphere. Boring plot, just ok visuals, 1 dimensional characters. Basically the Avengers without any of the international appeal

d i hate you

There goes the thread

And North America & rest of the world didn't?
East Asia (except Japan) doesn't worship SW like you people
because they hope China would help it overtake Avatar's WW #1 spot, which was never going to happen in the first place

because it's the only place it hasn't broken all of the records and such. It's kinda like an Adele's 25 situation, when you break so many records the news shifts to when you don't break it.
