Going to the mat to uphold the cultural bonafides of Robert Van Winkle. It's definitely not appropriate, says fan.

..."Iron Fist" is trending on Twitter rn which is really funny.  Which actually makes sense, 'cuz it's exactly like Marvel was surreptitiously listening in on psy-op style on all those "You can't make Iron Fist Asian! That would be racist!" conversations, where the responses were "Uh yeah you can, and here's exactly how you do it: [it]" and then they went and did it exactly. Focusing on the Asian-American experience, the tear between two worlds, having a heritage that doesn't define you but you still feel obligated to honor, the whole nine yards, and as a bonus you don't have to feel as embarrassed (as you well should) when you portray openly Chinese imagery, costumes, and set pieces all centered around a white lead. Note, I'm not trying to over-praise Marvel here. Their track record on this was urine-poor up until now (never forget the Ancient One bullshit, etc), but it does go to show sometimes you need to trip over a bad break...or two...or three...before finally getting it right. We might not be getting this like the way we're getting this if all the conversations around Iron Fist et al hadn't happened before this point.

I think people are talking about Iron Fist because that show went 2 seasons without having a single good kung fu fight and this trailer whips it in the rear end in that department.

It seems they are keeping the lighting yellow for this movie, so that might be my initial confusion. Anyways, does someone know what's the song in the Shang-chin teaser?

Michelle Yeoh's character Jiang Nan is apparently part of Mandarin's backstory, and wears an awful lot of green and yellow. So I'd like to think Iron Fist was trending because people were like "holy poo poo the first cinematic Iron Fist is going to be Michelle Yeoh!?" But it's twitter so it's more likely "this looks great but imagine if it starred a white guy!"

X-O posted:Shang-Chi is just a guy. Although this movie seems to be leaning hard into the Ten Rings having powers and I wouldn't be surprised if the movie ends with Shang-Chi in possession of them. In the comics there's not really anything that ties them together except for an out of continuity mini series during Secret Wars which this movie actually might be drawing some things from it looks like. Isn't he the son of the Mandarin or something

I think there's some reasons to be hopeful of Shang-chi. The biggest IMO is that the main star has a stunt acting background, so they can actually do their own fighting. The guy in charge of cinematography also has done a bunch of solid work.

Lurdiak posted:Not in any serious way. Luke Cage is convinced Danny could take Shang Chi down. The power of the Iron Fist is no joke. Since Immortal his power levels have been amped way up. I'd lean towards Danny having the edge. Shang is likely the better martial artist but Danny can knock your soul into New Jersey.

I always looked at it as if Danny hit Shang with the fist, it's over. But Shang is good enough he wouldn't get hit with it.

Danny might have an edge in that he's mastered like the only martial art that Shang Chi hasn't but Shang Chi has beaten people twice as powerful he is because that's his thing, he's unbeatable.

I mean, it's understandable. They just did Bane a few years ago, and DC/WB would never just go back to the same well over and over.
