Okay. Again, that's a direction they could have taken. But they didn't. And the direction they did seemed to work out just fine in re to reception.
But...they didn't reject everything that makes Shang Chi Shang Chi. They kept the most important parts.
The problem with treating these characters solely as icons is that they're generally more interesting as people.
Hmm...honestly not better. But again, I'm going to go ahead and assume English isn't your first language.
Unless I'm mistaken, many of the Fu Manchu complaints came from Asian Americans (and with good reason). And the only reason anyone thought the martial arts aspect of Shang Chi would've been problematic was if he was treated like the very justifiably problematic Bruceploitation character.
Okay. It could have. The reception seems to indicate what they did worked just fine, too.
Honestly, that's nothing but conjecture at this point. We won't really know for sure until the sequel comes out.
Hard disagree. While I agree that there could've been more fight scenes, I think what we got is every bit as good as anything in this video or any other of the MCU movies.
Again, hard disagree. They simply took the most essential parts and jettisoned the most cringe-worthy elements of the character (thankfully).
*shrugs* Again, it seemed to work for them so I hardly see that as a negative.
