Reviewing the history the series has done well domestically, but it is really the international audiences that elevated it to a mega franchise. Any insight as to why this has such broad appeal across the globe?

You have cars, chicks, explosions. What's not to like? Mindless fun all the way!

Our tastes are just simpler.

I don't know if simpler is the right word, but certain elements are easier to translate from one culture to another.  For example, action is action, while dialog can lose nuance going from source language to subtitles or dubbing.  I'm curious if particular lines of thought can even be translated properly across a dozen languages.
