Marvel even sprinkled in jabs at america throughout just to gobble their balls lmaoo
S*** sad man f*** them. They don’t fw Liu and Awk because they aren’t actually Chinese, not because they’re ugly. Basically Canadian and American.
Just stop even attempting to cater to those bozos and stop f***ing with the vision
i wonder how the citizens feel. this USA/China culture war crazy
Ngl I'm not totally familiar with Shang Chi's comic story tbh
His original father was Fu Manchu a character made up by some racist Brit novelist early 20th century who became an archetype for the evil Chinese mastermind with the long moustache (that moustache is named after him) and appeared in a ton of all types of media as the Chinese baddy who Marvel later secured the rights of too . I think the original comic run was stereotypical dumb s*** overall too which I guess you'd expect for the 70s
Marvel been trying to tell China this incarnation is a different character and nothing to do with that but it's pretty shaky foundations for something they were going to be cynical over to begin with. He's supposed to be the Mandarin in this but that's still a Chinese supervillain with I'm sure probably its own sketchy history

In the original run, Shang-Chi's dad was named "Fu Man Chu"
Asian fam seems praising the protagonist on insta
They say the film its a good representation of their culture
USA keeps making movies for them and they keep rejecting them lol
Their taste just different
Apparently China not really f***in with this film cuz they consider Simu Liu and Awkwafina ugly and chinese culture being westernized
Awkwafina i understand, shes like way too americanized, Lucy Liu would handle things better
Awkwafina i understand, shes like way too americanized, Lucy Liu would handle things better
But the thing is.. their characters supposed to be asian american
Awkwafina i understand, shes like way too americanized, Lucy Liu would handle things better
She was written that way tho? Her grandma/family dynamic is exactly what immigrant families are like when they have children in America or wherever they move to.
And wenwu scoffs at her for being American
She doesn’t speak Chinese or mandarin like it’s part of her character she’s meant to be Americanised

Sounded like she was playing herself

she pretty much was! being that type of chinese-american or child of an immigrant isn't bad lol theres millions of people exactly like that.
Just watched this tonight, the movie went to a straight up fantasy route, but its crazy how the 'normal world' holds more authority over all these powers. I liked how they paid homage to Jackie Chan. 8.5/10
in a WHITE country that JUST started putting more Asian faces on screen like 3 years ago? Not weird at all
