Hollywood's globalism is going to dethrone the US as the #1 influential country

[Guardian of the Rain]

The British Invasion on Hollywood isn't at all new, but it is becoming more apparent.

Are American actors, in general, THAT inferior to British actors or what?

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. The two new lead actors in America's most popular movie franchise. Star Wars Episodes 7-9. The lead actress in Rogue One is also British.

Christian Bale played Batman in the Dark Knight Trilogy. I'm glad Ben Affleck is playing him now.

Henry Cavill. Yeah, Kal-El's an alien, but Clark Kent is American and Superman operates out of America.

Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. Two British Spider-Men in a row. Well, Andrew Garfield was born in California but raised in Britain.

Benedict Cumberbatch. Doctor Strange.

99% of the Game of Thrones cast are non-American. The author of the books is American. The network is American (HBO).

Andrew Lincoln. Lead actor on TWD.

SOOOOOO many other examples. And I'm not even including Australians and Canadians.

Don't get me wrong, these are all great actors and actresses, but I can't help but to feel salty about this as an American. And I admit, there are loads of British actresses that make me drool.

Hayley Atwell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Emilia Clarke, Kate Beckinsale

Also, Sherlock is my favorite show atm, so don't think that I dislike or even hate Brits. It's just that I'm very patriotic for America.

Yeah, global pop culture influence isn't the most important thing, but I'm proud that the U.S. currently has the most of it. I fear the U.K. (well, really just England) will overtake us in the coming decades. At least we'll continue to have the strongest military in the foreseeable future

In the future, there will be more centers for movies, not just the US, just like in the past there were only like 2 channels and when something happened in the tv everyone looked at it, now we have 100 channels and nobody cares, the same thing will happen with movies, there will be millions of movies from all over the world and nobody will care.

That'd be awesome, despite the fact that other countries having their own Hollywoods would hurt the U.S. economy.

If England ever does start to mass produce their own high-budget, big studio movies for international theatrical release, they'd better cast many Americans or that'd be some b/s.

The U.S. is the most hated country, but the world loves our fiction and entertainment GTFO

That about sums up what America is good for. Pure entertainment.

False.

We're also good for protection. Canada, for example, mostly gets to relax and take it easy because they know we'll always protect them with our mighty military.

Canada gets to save a substantial amount of money, being that they don't need to invest much of it into their military budget.

Same goes with the rest of our allies. Though the U.K. and France are too close to Russia to take it easy lol (wait, I think France and Russia actually have really close relations nowadays...idk)

It's cultural influence.

Lol Batman trilogy shits on every single Batman movie.

Wait for Batfleck's solo movie

And all these superheroes being played by Brits are still American onscreen at least. I would've killed myself if they made Kal-El crash-land in the outskirts of England, Bruce Wayne born in Wales, or Peter Parker born in Scotland.

 

[Punk Hazard]

I can't really say I care. Tom Hardy is British, but he's my favorite actor, so I can't say I see it as a bad thing.

Yeah I'm sure economic wise, we have absolutely no effect on the rest of the world including your country /s

Yes His Green lantern was so great that I nearly throw up.

lol wut? Do you mean Ryan Reynolds? He's Canadian, and Wade Wilson/Deadpool is actually Canadian, so I'm okay with that.

Tom Hardy's awesome, and his most popular movie, Mad Max: Fury Road, is Australian fiction anyway.

lol that's my favorite movie actually. I mean, I've never really cared where my movies came from, as long as they're good

Great taste. I liked him most in either Inception or Warrior though. Charlize Theron outshined him in Mad Max imo

And yeah, I suppose a movie's country of origin doesn't matter. I just don't like people claiming to hate a country and enjoy its entertainment at the same time.

Yeah, people like that are dumb as hell. His acting was way better in Warrior, but he also had a more prominent role in that movie. Idk if you've seen Nostalgia Critic videos before, but he mentions Miller movies typically have the main character be the least interesting, which is kinda true. Still looking forward to more Mad Max movies with him in it.

I actually re-watched Inception after becoming a Hardy fan cuz I didn't notice his role in it much at first xD

 

[hypocritical]

Hah, you keep worrying about that. People in third world countries just don't care, Britain or America, its all thesame horror movie.

lol I know I made a semi-related thread not long ago.
If I could restart life, I'd attempt to become a successful actor. That's why I'm so into Hollywood and this phenomenon.

Guess I have the luxury to worry about such a First World issue.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

I mean aren't those Brits acting in American movies? I don't think that'll affect it.

But the reality is, as technology progresses, the world becomes smaller. Globalism is inevitable and not necessarily a bad thing.
