** A little bit of FridgeBrilliance: the [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender original Nickelodeon series]] is not really popular in Japan. This may have to do with the different treatments of the Fire Nation: they're clearly a FantasyCounterpartCulture to Imperial Japan in the cartoon, but all Fire Nation characters are played by Indian actors in the live action movie.

''Film/{{JusticeLeague|2017}}'' was the top-grossing film in the country in 2017 even though it was considered a massive under-performer (that lost about $50 million) pretty much everywhere else. Creator/WarnerBrothers even chose the CCXP ('''C'''omic-'''C'''on E'''xp'''erience) in São Paulo to debut the first trailer for ''Film/WonderWoman1984'' in December 2019 due to the country's love for the franchise.
