she was there to illustrate that lex was so narcissistic and psychopathic that he'd even let his adoring girlfriend die in a horrible explosion of his own devising if it got him closer to deposing superman

You are aware China owns AMC correct? They are the only market now. American Hollywood is dead.

>>81857796
This. I wonder how people like OP can be so dense about her. Although I wouldn't say she was his girlfriend, but only a loyal worker.
>>
>>81857796
Not only that. You can see the precise moment where he sours on her. It's in the scene where she steps up to "bask in the the glow" of the kryptonite with him. Lex doesn't share.

>>81857930
that was the requirement for the millions the chinese gave to fund the movie.

Where the fuck in the movie do they say that? Isn't she just his secretary or something?
>>
>>81857470
Yeah we needed a montage of her going to college and then working hard until she met Lex, both fall in love spend a night if wild sex she gets a job as her assistant and then being betrayed in the explosion...


Or just you know accept that she is the right hand of Lex and that Lex is such a cunt and evil guy that would sacrifice her assistant to cover his crimes. Lex is a terrible person, the speech, the jolly ranger, and mrcy are proof all the self pity he has for himself are just excuses, he is just a really smart guy that happen to be a monster.

I was talking about the girl from Kong. And no, obviously she didn't need a huge character arc and extensive backstory but they don't even mention who she is or what she does (from what I remember) and only has a handful of lines

If you ever see a film with one of these random Chinese characters in it, it's because the film is aiming for a Chinese release. But to qualify for this they have to follow a bunch of requirements and one is that a Chinese person (not American Chinese, but pure Chinese from China) is in the film and portrayed in a positive light.
If you don't have this, the film has no chance of getting a Chinese release.

Just to be butthurt over some minor character so your can fulfill your jr high contrarian quota for the day and get attention from anonymous strangers, attention you crave because you are a social reject?

Is that all You know how to do anymore?

But yes usually Chinks are shoe-horned in for the Chinese market. And its only going to get worse. China is where the money is at. And China only allows so many Hollywood movies to be screened.

Also in China, they sometimes show different cuts of the film that expand on the Chinese character.

One of the producers said they wanted a skeleton and couldn't find anywhere to put the prop in that would make sense. So they just said fuck it we'll hire a skeleton that can be in every scene.

Chinese pandering unlike OP's girl, which is japanese so she's actually the opposite

The character was there to show that Lex is willing to sacrifice the closest thing to a normal relationship he has in order to prove that Superman is a fraud. A year has gone by and marlelets STILL don't get this movie, I can't even imagine what would happen if they watch an actually complex movie instead of capeshit

Also it's clear that DC doesn't give a fuck about China, they casted japanese actresses in the last two flickes they made. Fuck they didn't even release Suicide Squad there and still was one of the biggest hits of 2016.
