Guest Fight Me.

Shang-Chi was absolutely fantastic. And a couple of people have said it online, but this movie proves a live action Dragon Ball movie could work with the right people lol Also...thanks to Shang-Chi doing so well, we got a new date for Venom!

Glad we don't gotta wait til the new year.

Shang-Chi is banned in China. The CCP think Simu Liu and Awkwafina are not good looking enough and Tony Leung might had been blacklisted.

Another of the most common complaints will certainly surprise American fans excited about the film as a landmark for Asian representation. Many online commenters have slammed Liu and Awkwafina for not meeting the typical thin-chinned, high-nosed, pale-skinned, double eye-lidded standards of ideal Chinese beauty. In one of the most toxic arguments of all, many say Marvel cast them in lead roles because the studio “discriminates against Chinese people’s appearance.”

“Foreigners just love to deliberately cast Asian actors with squinty eyes! There are many actors in China and Asia with big eyes and prominent features,” one wrote.

There’s also the vague possibility that Leung has somehow been blacklisted, potentially by taking on a role as politically charged as the Mandarin. Two corruption crime thrillers he stars in have completed production but languished, unable to release (“The Hunting,” “Where the Wind Blows”).
