Great, attention-starved Zhao Bandi gets the free publicity he wants, while other people end up thinking of the chinese as a bunch of backwards loonies…

Yep, this guy forgot that, contrarily to the Chinese people who all have black eyes and straight black hair (I know, I live in Hong Kong), in the “West” (and many more places actually), eye color ranges from black to bright blue or green and the hair color goes from the blackest to the blondest with red in between. That’s just insane stupidity and a insane willingness to attract attention to one’s work. Pure envy.

tbh, this guy is either really smart, or just plain stupid (which i personally don’t think its likely lol) coz obviously. As stated in the article itself, hes just trying to get on international headlines and expose himself and his own work, which obviously accomplished from this article :) or yea, maybe hes just plain stupid

Damn… what can I say that hasn’t already been said??

How stupid someone can be? Even if he’s from another culture, suing because of the color used for the eyes of Po… *sight*… Green is evil… darn, imagine the precedent this guy could have over Hulk, of the blood of a Vulcan, or any typical alien skin…

I’m listing all films that have green in them. If this lawsuit gets through, I’m suing every god damn film that has green in them!!!

NO MORE GREEN IN MOVIES!

In a couple years from now, I’m reading a newspaper stating that some state banned a movie for having too much green in it…

Hey, how about changing the G for General Audience, to G for Gree-free movie… I mean, you have to protect your kids, you know…

….

Geee……

He’s mad because he couldn’t do it.
He’s mad because he didn’t think of it first.

It’s been documented that even Chinese film historians who have seen the movie ask, “Why couldn’t the Chinese come up with a good film like Kung Fu Panda?” Why could Westerners? Answer: because writers, designers, directors, voice talents are all respected in “Hollywood”, and that’s not the case when it comes to Chinese movies, and that includes Hong Kong movies.

He’s mad because he wanted to do it.

Sounds to me like his time would be better spent demanding an apology from the Chinese government for nearly bringing the Panda to extinction in the first place.

Also in traditional Western culture green eyes usually symbolize immortality or youthfulness. This moron needs to go back to art school or maybe taken an academic degree and learn about a term called ‘deconstruction’ (which in layman’s terms means that the viewer makes their own interpretations of stories based on their own personal cultural history). It pisses me off to see a tool who doesn’t even understand the meaning of his own work.

He should go back to making costumes for furries.

This shithead deserves a little STFU.

I mean, If you want cheesy, corny, and satrical, go watch Mummy 3. That shit was horibble.

He needs a new hobby or a new a life.

I’m also Chinese and there is nothing offensive about green eyes and having a duck as your father. lol

I’m on board with this. In fact, I’m finally motivated to bring my lawsuit upon Madagascar for creating a white zebra with black stripes for Chris Rock. Ain’t that just like the man!

I’m surprised at this news….I didn’t think the Chinese government liked people with opinions of their own.

Thanks David, well said!

“He doesn’t represent the opinion of the overwhelmingly vast majority of Chinese people, many of whom adore the film. “–DEFINITELY!

As a Chinese, I feel shamed of Zhao Bandi! Zhao is just using this kind of way to attract more public attraction in himself.

Otherwise I come from Panda’s Hometown–Sichuan, I must say I like Po very much and I’m dying to see Kung Fu Panda 2.
