If nothing else, I hope this is the case.

I don't know if a live action Shang-Chi movie is going to do much for the character. Either it'll be great and skyrocket him to popularity like what the...

I'm going to arbitrarily weigh in on this so-called Roy Thomas controversy. The problem with his use of the word "oriental" is not that the term is inherently racist. The problem is he clearly KNOWS...

Basically, Danny should be fighting like the Iron Fist we see in the Bakuto's video from 1948. But what we get instead is... Eh...

I agree with your sentiments completely.

I was also very annoyed by the fact that they repeatedly emphasize how Danny's training is incomplete, and that he's essentially the worst Iron Fist ever....

Sure, you can interpret it that way if you like, and perhaps that's what they intended. What I said was in my opinion. And in my experience, guys who speak foreign languages to girls who they assume...

Because she clearly speaks fluent English and he made the assumption she spoke Chinese, even though her character is supposed to be Japanese. Not something I would ever have imagined the comic...

Ok, so as a huge Iron Fist fan, I think this series is definitely better than what critics initially gave credit for, but it's a far cry from the other Netflix shows. I'd give it a generous 6/10.
...

I'm still a couple of episodes from the end, but I completely agree here. I got quite excited about Lewis Tan playing Zhou Cheng originally, and seeing him fight was actually quite impressive. Then...

If Shang-Chi does appear in Netflix's Iron Fist, I really wouldn't be surprised if it's a rework of Lewis Tan's character. The guy was considered for the role of Danny Rand himself, so logically, one...

With books like Totally Awesome Hulk and Silk, it's evident that Marvel is trying to push diversity. At the same time, they're giving the anti-SJW crowd more to whine about by changing existing...

I also enjoyed Shang's calm demeanor and ability to formulate a strategy - considering his MI6 training and tactical prowess are often downplayed to make him one dimensional. God knows I'm only...

So there have been a few questionable reports saying a Shang-Chi Netflix series was announced at Comic-Con. Could anyone verify if this were true? Obviously it would barely be in gestational stages...

This is a long shot. I've recently noticed stunt performer/actor Lewis Tan is playing the role of Zhou Cheng on Netflix's Iron Fist, a villain from The Immortal Iron Fist who nearly killed Danny....

I would not be terribly surprised either way. They could have put out a casting call for an "Asian American male" to take the role of Davos, one of the other Immortal Weapons, or even to play one of...

I stand by the statement that in an ideal world, Phil Coulson would have been replaced by Jimmy Woo instead. Not even for reasons of diversity, but as far as the comics go, he's occasionally been...

I think they've been quite committed to keeping his name as Zheng Zu ever since Secret Avengers.

Anyway, I am happy but very skeptical at this time to hear he'll be appearing in Iron Fist's...

That's because he made a silly analogy and undermined the actual issues behind why people wanted an Asian-American Iron Fist. For the most part though, this has been a remarkably civil 20+ pages of...

Seriously? This is the kind of straw man argument one would expect on Facebook. Show me proof that there are "21 pages of complaints that Marvel stuck to their source material" and I'll kindly refer...

Going off topic a bit, but regarding the idea of casting Namor with an Asian-American male lead, there's certainly potential for mixing the traditional Western mythos of Atlantis with similar tales...

Ironically, in the 70s Shang-Chi was a much bigger name than Iron Fist. His solo series ran for nearly 10 years while Danny's solo series ran for only 2, and although he gained more popularity in the...

I think this is more a reflection of the Asian community's desperation than anything else. More of, "Well we're never going to see an Asian Iron Man or a movie on a non-stereotypical character like...

Unfortunately, I don't have time to go through this massive thread to read all the replies, but in my very toned down opinion, Peter David is being quite arrogant and simple minded here. First off,...

I'm sorry, but that's exactly what makes it a bigger melting pot than the old-world countries of the East. People come to the US from other countries, and I would argue that both the US and Canada...

At any rate, I've yet to finish Jessica Jones but from watching Daredevil, I am hopeful that irregardless of the casting, they will do the character of Danny Rand and his supporting cast justice....

I think the issue is that Asian-American men have always had a much harder time getting roles than women. As evident by the fact that everyone you listed - along with those you haven't (Blink in the...
