from the amount of backlash the lovers is getting you’d think it was a 3 hours long 250 million dollars budget film…. its a 15 minutes short film made by students
im not saying constructive criticism isn’t allowed but some of you are clearly hating just to hate
tbh in my PERSONAL opinion, the Lovers isnt rlly particularly representative of filipino culture or anything like that. just a nice short, wlw story that happens to have a Filipino mc set in a version of the Philippines and was dubbed in Tagalog
"isn't representative of filipino culture"
- has a Filipina MC who struggles to choose between finishing her degree or working for her family
- set in Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world
- Sirena is a literal sirena, classified as an engkanto in mythology
???
The drama with The Lovers is funny. "You should support local Philipino animations instead of foreign Philipino American ones." Look inside the local scene.... all het. Sorry but I'm good actually.
chronically online american who doesnt animate: u filipinxs should be thankful abt these fil-ams who are saving the hetslop philippino animation industry rn....<3
I need everyone to read the pinned comment on #thelovers (especially the last sentence), before throwing around so much hate not built on proper criticism
