You’re clearly looking for something that isn’t here
That's exactly what you're doing.
You're worrying about a non issue.
Implying Asian directors and writers can't make a movie with an Asian main character without Asian stereotypes is stupid.
Suggesting it would be a challenge to do so is massively ignorant
this isn’t a Black Panther situation because Black Panther was well more known before his first appearance in Civil War than Shang Chi, let alone his solo film.
This isn't a "situation" at all. Being more well known has nothing to do with you saying it'll be a challenge to make a movie without Asian stereotypes.
Stereotypes are not exclusive to superhero movies. Both the Black Panther and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung-Fu comics had stereotyoes in them. Coogler managed to avoid it. I'm pretty sure the Asian writer they've already hired (that's written two other superhero flicks) and the Asian director they'll eventually choose will too.
I’m giving you facts dealing with past Marvel films.
No you're not. You seem out of touch with reality. Spending way too much time focusing on old past issues Marvel has already remedied.
Pretending these are pertinent facts to this announcement is sad. Its like bringing up Marvel being hesitant to introduce magic to the MCU in the past just to say they'll struggle to depict magic in Dr. Strange
Marvel was hesitant doing the Mandarin properly and was hesitant doing the Ancient one properly so how would doing a Shang Chi film with an all Asian cast NOT be a challenge? I’m sure Marvel can do it but it will be a challenge nonetheless
A challenge for whom? The Asian director? The Asian writer? The Asian actors?
The
Mandarin is an Asian stereotype in every aspect starting with his name. The Ancient One was also a specific type of stereotype.
Like exactly what challenge are you even talking about with Shang Chi? Cuz now it just sounds like you're saying cuz he's Asian there's some inherent issue that stereotypes will be hard to avoid or manage.
And the two directors you named haven’t made a film for a major franchise that costs $150 mil + to make
Its a martial arts film just with a bigger budget set in the MCU.
Having a resume of past movies that have had grossed highly is far more important than having directed a movie with a big budget.
If we're talking fa2cts, you're not paying attention to history or the recent trend of directors being tapped to direct big budget movies the past 10years.
now they’re in an awkward situation
