I'd say the key words here were "beyond a cameo." Hogun was a blandly underwritten role who got bizarrely shipped back to his home Asian planet in the sequel for no reason. Asian Howling Commando did...literally nothing.

Helen Cho is a fair example, though it'd be disingenuous to equate her role to any of the other characters of that film.

Skye and May are, yeah, probably the two best Asian characters in the whole M"C"U, though they were both created specifically for their show so it doesn't exactly refute the whole "Marvel is really hampered by its dated source" thing.

Maybe Hulk and Thor will visit the Asian planet in that movie and it'll be like Ninja Turtles 3.

They did just as much as their white compatriots in the Warriors 3(plus hot chick) and the Howling Commandos(also with other minorities!).

Nah, Lady Sif has done more than the other two dudes in her team. She had a sub-plot in Agents of SHIELD!

I had forgotten about Daisy, May and Jaiying. I even give May a pass for dancing around a Dragon Lady stereotype since the character was originally written as white to be a Mockingbird stand-in until Ming Na blew the audition out of the water.

I also kind of give it a pass since its established that May really isn't like that at all and actually was a totally different person but we happened to catch her in the middle of a PTSD crisis.

What if instead, he catches them but they keep escaping? I think that would be a much better show.

I like The Punisher because I dislike the "loophole" of "non-lethal violence" which "good guy" vigilantes get to use to be total badasses without being bad people. Somehow. If you want to cheer when good guys brutalize bad guys because they deserve it, but you are only okay with it because genre magic allows an easily crossable line to crossable only by choice, that's hosed up. It's the basis of our PG-13 mentality, where it is not violence which is objectionable, but the consequences of violence which make people uncomfortable. It is okay to show children that violence is a solution, but you should't show them what violence looks like show it as being psychologically traumatic, because that sort of thing is for adults.

Punisher doesn't kill anyone with a name either.
