#And the more well-known ones have motivations stemming from the fucking nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Is this the time I mention the weird, kind of racist way Marvel writes Asian characters, or...?

#marvel cinematic universe #mcu #marvel #marvel comics #Obviously there are nonexamples #But take Japanese characters for example #A lot of them are villains #And the more well-known ones have motivations stemming from the fucking nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki #Like Sunfire and Silver Samurai #There's another that works with Hydra which has Nazi undertones #There are two Japanese heroes I can think of that ggo against this stereotype #Except Jolt and Nico Minoru are sansei and yonsei #Which isnt inherently bad #It looks like Marvel cant write Japanese characters without them being villains or morally dubious or far removed from the culture #Also in Daken's backstory they ahd to specify that the girlfriend he kills is American. #It isnt just Japanese either #Sasha Hammer is Chinese-American and apparently Marvel likes violent Asian characters so of course she helps kill her own mother #Then there's the comic version of The Ancient One and that mess #There's White Tiger and Sun Bird and Blue Dragon and Shell Shock #I love them! #Except they only exist in Future Fight. A mobile game. #Marvel sucks at Asian representation in general #They're maybe trying #But in the comics I dont really see that #HOOOOOO BOY I CAN'T WAIT TO BE CALLED A FILTHY FUCKIN IMPERIALIST AND JAPANESE WAR CRIME SYMPATHIZER FOR BRINGING UP JAPANESE CHARACTERS #please prove me wrong #Also speed round #Collective Man #Amadeus Cho falls under a stereotype and frankly super intelligent children is an overused trope anyway #Sunpyre counts too stop using the fucking imperial flag dipshits
