Marvel Cinematic Universe Thread

[Sha-J Lee]

Only picked a blond white guy because of not taking risks when it was made.

Comics are not history books, it can be changed to reflect modern society and changing demographics.

But I guess your bigotry is showing again.

So you want to play into the stereotype that martial artists are asians. Got it.

Right because that's what I meant.....Nice spin.

Instead of learning martial arts from Asians, just have an actual Asian hero.

Hello? It's the 21st century calling.....How about we see what it's about.

I'd be fine with that but not with a preexisting property.

Yes it is.

Curly hair is the epitome of geek.

Should've taken a leap and cast an Asian actor to play a martial arts expert.

Iron fist is a white guy in most of the comics.

So what?

Character was based off Bruce Lee anyways.

 

[Drew]

So what? Yeah let's have a white Black Lightning and Storm while we're at it.

According to the creator he was based off Amazing Man. The martial arts comics were published during the Bruce Lee craze but neither Iron Fist nor Master of Kung Fu were expressly based on Lee. If anything, Master would be more based on Lee seeing as he was actually based on David Carradine's character from Kung Fu, a character that Lee should have played.

LOL whitewashing is still done.

But let's get pissed off because I suggested a white guy get replaced.

 

[Drew]

Lolz @ you acting like someone else is getting mad.

Fact is the character is white in the comics. They followed suit in the show. It isn't some crappy retcon and they changed it just for the sake of changing it.

Like with Heimdall in Thor. So yeah, white characters so get replaced.

Jesus was a middle Eastern Jew....Somehow he's white.

Noah and his family too.

Every Egyptian character has been white in every movie ever.

But that's OK to still do these days.

But nope....Can't do it with a white guy....Because....Canon?

 

[Deezy]

Those Gods of Egypt sure don't look Egyptian.

So that means you should make Iron Fist Asian? Not really. Doing it before doesn't mean it's a good idea to do it now.

 

[Drew]

No one is saying they can't do it.

But having a problem with them because they didn't make Iron Fist, a white American in the source material, an Asian just because you wanted them is to us stupidity.

It's clear you just run around here causing problems because it gets you off. Grow up deezy

It's clear you can't handle online debate.

No Greenwalding no tangents, no insults.

Just get better at it.

Rather have an Asian actor than a curly haired geek, which was my original statement.....Iron fist still looks like a geek.

Give me Wu Jing, Tony Jaa hell even Rain over some random white guy who doesn't have anywhere near the training those three have.

 

[Drew]

You don't debate. You troll and get butt hurt and throw insults.

I don't come to this board for that.


I go to other boards for that. Where the insults and trash talk make yours look like a 5th grader(because you probably are) Boards that chew and spit out smart asses like you all the time.


I believe they did the right thing casting an actor that looks the part. If he doesn't know martial arts before the role he will after it. That's good enough. All we need is a good actor. The rest will take care of itself.

With that I'm done. Don't know if there's an ignore function on this board or not, rarely would I even contemplate it, but you deserve it.
