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
