>Weibo users responded to Marvel’s San Diego Comic-Con announcement that it had cast Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, the kung-fu master hero of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, by reminding one another of the racist origins of the character’s father.
“The plotline of Shang-Chi is about belittling Chinese people while praising Americans,” wrote one user (links in Chinese) on the social media platform. Another called it “horrible” that the movie will include “a symbol of foreign discrimination against Asians.”
In the comics, Shang-Chi’s father was a super-villain called Fu Manchu, who spends most of his time plotting evil schemes of world domination. In the movie version, Hong Kong actor Tony Leung will play a villain known as the Mandarin. Fans are speculating that the film’s antagonist is likely a substitute for Fu Manchu—long seen as a “yellow peril” symbol historically linked to racist beliefs of Asian peoples and cultures being a threat to the West.
i think disney will recast shangchi with real mainland chinese actor because hollywood really like china movie gross just looks at bayformer the franchise always had china location to pandering with chinese audience

China's 100 year plan is a literal thing and they're literally in a power struggle with the U.S right now, of course they're our enemies.
Anyone that has a different culture and view point is a threat to the WEST. Period.
>a symbol of foreign discrimination against Asians >woke twitter outrage speak Well done china, you'll have Hollywood licking your boots in no time.

West is fucked. As bad as China is, it at least wants to make its overall country a power house. In the west, people in power are giving everything away for short term influence, importing cheap labor and selling property to foreign investors which is illegal in many countries. In this day and age it's extremely difficult to combat that when any talk against it has no method of gaining ground.

Chinamen sure like to complain a lot, worse than blacks

>historically linked to racist beliefs of Asian peoples and cultures being a threat to the West.
??? How exactly is "this country has a good work ethic and could end up beating us if we don't get our shit together" a "racist" belief?
Brayden Rivera
I wish they picked a handsome Asian for main character like Kris Wu (he was Sgt Neza in the Valerian movie). Kris is relentlessly handsome. I want to hug him relentlessly.

>>Simu Liu >Who is this guy anyway, what has he done? I want him to do me
Are you not aware of who Fu Manchu is? The character is far from just "having a good work ethic".
Matthew Sanchez
The chinks don't get to cry about racism. Watch any one of the mainlands movies. Rules for thee not for me is their whole MO.
Robert Watson
But he does not have a handsome face.

This. Seems that Hollywood still can't completely shake their old habit of having their Asian stars be Asian & calling it a day, instead of trying to have stars who are both Asian AND charismatic.

he's extremely ugly couldn't they cast one of those fem boys from korean bands

You dumb faggots say this shit every time, and you're wrong every time. Yea Forums is the second most consistently wrong board behind /pol/ and just barely.

Apparently, Disney will drastically change the Shang-Chi story to not be racist towards Chinese people.
Disney still hasn't figured out that China is racist AF and that they will not be satisfied with any pandering casting choices unless it's a real Chinese movie star. They tried casting a no-name Vietnamese-American girl in The Last Jedi as their "asian pandering" and it did not go over well with the Chinese.
Reminder that China doesn't actually care about their repersentation in american films, all they want to see is cool CG action and worlds as we can see by movies like Aquaman.
It's a valid point that companies trying to get the chinkbux slap together products without even consulting any chinks. They're under the impression that just adding some representation they're not used to is enough to pander to the demographic (this only works with the stupider nonwhites like blacks and hispanics).

Bioshock film when?

Chinks are yellow nggers

>The character is far from just "having a good work ethic". So are IRL Chinese people.
Nathan Allen
Who gives a fuck what they think? Fuck the Chinese market.
Liam Barnes
No idea why Gorgon isn’t the villain. Mandarin should be Shang-Chi’s father but given up plans for world conquest, and Shang-Chi has to get his advice at his lowest point.
Ryan Roberts
Hollywood shoud have known that they can’t catering to Chink market forever.
Lucas Flores
not clicking your clickbait, but anyone with a brain knows to disregard articles that cite a social media comment and the authors speculation. look for your upvotes another way
He also trained in martial arts and gymnastics since he was a kid so he can do backflips and shit. Sorta fits the bill.
Saw a interview with him on the national, he's a pretty cool guy.

>Weibo users Two people bitched on socal media. This is a non story because you can find someone bitching about everything being racist on social media. Even more so if it's comics related.
Also it basically guaranteed to be an abc or cbc because they know American comics. They are just calling weibo out by name so it seems like this is China's reaction

Honestly this. Chinks are too busy being enslaved and leveling up their social credit scores for this faggot garbage.

Threat to the shackles placed upon you by jews. You have long since given up anything resembling true American freedom.

They’ll have an evil white bad guy like always

You're on a forum that's full of white "men" complaining, while all the real white men are out there fucking white girls.
