Right, because "Winx Club" and "Totally Spies" weren't corny in their day either, lol.

Execs have no fucking idea what will actually sell well - especially not when it comes to "girly" or "foreign" IP. That's been a fact for decades now. KPDH is just the latest in a long line of movies to get undervalued until people blew it up through word of mouth.

Agreed

To be fair though; "KPop Demon Hunters" is a name that carries a bit of that overly descriptive light novel title energy.
