This created lots of media attention and I think this might be worth mentioning, article itself is not that good.

      You seem to handwave the bias created in people’s minds since 1999, which is 22 years. So if something has been wrong since decades, should that wrong thing continue to happen? Is this your logic?

      It’s not wrong. It just has a different ending. One that worked visually much better than the original one did. This happens all the time in adaptations. Movies, TV, books, etc. have different strengths and weaknesses, so the plot has to be adjusted to fit. And you seem to be making the argument that this “fixed” the ending, when it really only bears a passing resemblance.

      I think you just hate China because it is cool among Western world.

      Why would I hate China for this? It doesn’t affect me or harm people substantially. For me, it’s just funny for how bad it is, in the same way as The Room is funny.

      If you want to bat back at the West, maybe echo a point he actually made in the interview: Fight Club has been banned in many places in the US, so China’s reaction isn’t that out of the norm.
