I’ve already said that I’m not arguing those points here because they’re irrelevant to Psylocke’s thread. However, if you’re interested in my POV, feel free to PM me.
I’m curious as well because I’ve always assumed Elektra was Greek unless there was a recent change.
Unless I'm missing something,Trinking is teasing our race/culture-sensitive friends,since,like Psylocke,Elektra is another case of a European appropriating Asian culture.
I'm worried about the future where people didn't know Greece is part of the Eurasian region. Could've just been more specific and said the Netflix actress is part-Chinese.
I remember after Logan lost his adamantium Elektra took him back to Greece and Logan remembered fighting there during WW2 and he met her uncle or grandfather or something like that...
As for Betsy I don't remember her ever saying that she was Japanese, if the topic came up she'd admit to being English in a Japanese body, and some of Kwannon's influence may have lead to her taste for the art and such...
I doubt they'd go that route. Only a small group of us would. Most fans wouldn't be familiar, I'd assume outside of the few X-men fans.
Before the FOX thing, MCU had the rights to Whitelocke and not Asian Locke, and if they do Captain Britain, they'd go with the "Classic" look of her former self. That's just my speculation.
Honestly most North Americans have a warped perception of the world. Especially if they've never traveled. I mean the first time I ever went abroad, I met a black dude in Scotland and it flipped me out. This was late 80's, and as a black dude from Philly, I honestly didn't know there was blacks in the UK region. Most people don't know Egyptians are Africans. Lol.
