India not happy with Avengers

[johnmiic]

I say GFY. Some people from India are not happy there's a part in the film where their slums in Kolkata are depicted as...slums! They would prefer Avengers had shot scenes in good neighborhoods and don't remind the world there are poor people there? It must be the caste` system thing.

wahhhhhhhh. every big movie gets some group of people all wound up about something.

Good Lord!!!! There's no pleasing EVERYONE on the planet!!! And if a slum is slum, why try to portray it as something else? Yeah, no one admits that there are slums, but it's an unfortunate fact of life. GOOI, India!!!!!

[jwyblejr]

But it's okay with all the stuff they show on Amazing Race or Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations?

[Operation:Mego]

This seems rather minor. There are slums in India, they show slums. Big deal. Besides, it's chacter development for Bruce. A. Why would he risk living in a crowded area in-case he Hulks out? B. He's a caring doctor. No doubt he would go to slums to help the sick people.

Jesus ate with the lepers; I think Bruce Banner can hang with the poor and underprivileged...

Why not? As I stated before, it's character development.

The people of India should call the movie studios to complain but they would end up in call centers based in..well you know. Even if there are 42 billion people or whatever living there, I can't imagine, under any circumstance, how the entertainment industry gives five craps what they think or how they feel.

This is very similar to the LOTR protests of 2002 after an Orc rights group was offended how Peter Jackson portrayed them as mindless brutes. I think even the Ents were a little put off by how slowly they walked in the film. Seems you can offend someone with any film.

Don't forget the uproar back in '77 with that bunch of Jawas.
