'Shang-Chi' Star Simu Liu Dismisses Quentin Tarantino And Martin Scorsese As Racist "Gatekeepers" For Their Criticism Of The MCU...
Marvel actor Simu Liu has responded to Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese's MCU criticisms by accusing them of being racist gatekeepers.
Nice self-own, asshole.
I love it when Chinese actors talk shit because they are literally afraid of speaking anything negative about China.
Pretty 'badass' to mock white people while you cower in fear from your own country. Weak.
notice how the only domination nonwhites point to is "white people", too busy sucking kosher dick to point out the real enemy
maybe we should start using the term (((white))) instead of white if you know what i mean
im actually surprised no one thought of this sooner
I’ve had people get mad when I make similar points
Wokeists do not like having their sacred cow called into question.
Don't criticize Bollywood then.
What this narcissistic a-hole does not seem to realize is that asian actors were very popular during that golden age
Absolutely. Add to that the thriving Asian film industry.
I love it when the diversity crew wants to be the first so much they erase their own people's previous accomplishments.
I cant wait to hear Tarantino respond. He gives no fucks
“Is there a sign outside my house that says ‘dead chink storage?’”
I automatically assume anyone with a Chinese name who bats for woke shit is a CCP mouthpiece, willingly or otherwise.
Let's hear him criticize Chinese cinema. Or China in general.
I'll bet he won't.
Hilariously, Simu is the reason The Ten Bracelets wasn't released in China. The movie that along with Mulan was especially made for the market was banned because he was in it. Even as a "token chinese actor," he fails.
He once characterized his family's decision to immigrate to Canada as because China wasn't as good. XiXi the Pooh found that to be enough. So no, Simu wasn't the least bit spicy. He just happened to exist while cancel culture existed and Twitter Karens and the CCP (but I repeat myself) saw a scalp to get.
That he wants to advocate for "representation" while himself failing at even doing that properly is nearly as comedic as Marvel losing millions for the mistake of hiring him to be in their China hero movie just because of his race.
Kek.
Plus the Chinese think he's ugly.
All I heard was silverware falling down the stairs.
No shit ching-chong, why do you think it was a golden age?
Scorsese and Tarantino have good movies. When I think of the golden age of Hollywood I think great movies. Not necessarily about the race. Denzel Washington has had some great movies for instance. What is killing entertainment is the obsession with diversity. That has lead to hiring no talent writers and actors based on checking a box
It also seems to lead to terrible characterisation. Because we have a diverse cast playing diverse characters, we mustn't ever put them through any adversity, because that would be problematic.
And so the character - every character - turns to porridge.
And that makes for a boring story because you can guess pretty much any plot that has the proper modern day diversity
What a perfect example of good cinema. He's a great actor and generally selected high quality films to act in. For most people "it's a Denzel Washington movie" means it's worth checking out.
You can't just throw people with random skin tones in movies and then get mad because the audience doesn't watch them. If an actor and movie are good, people will watch them.
Has he been in any bad ones? Loved the first equalizer, sequel was meh though.
Yep. If you want people to care about a mom white or female lead then make something good. I’m so tired of them hiring people who check a box or directors openly show disdain for source material. Stop hiring activists under the guise of diversity
It's amazing that you focus on race than talent, when your acting skill is beaten easily by spaghetti western actors that with just a squint of their eyes have more expression than the majority of your films.
Movies universally regarded as 'the best' had white actors and so you don't like them. Your criticism is objectively racist, you are racist, and you are hustling for work in an environment where your talent is inferior. This makes you the worst kind of racist, the racist who believes his own race to be inferior and happily embraces that for charity.
When unearned charity doesn't fill your stomach, you'll directly resort to mafia intimidation, racketeering, and blackmail. And when that doesn't quite meet the need, you'll call up the media and cry to them. Public temper tantrums are embarrassing on toddlers, Simu. On a supposedly grown man, the shame should be lethal. Since it isn't for you, I suspect brain damage. Get help.
Affirmative action hire who only got his job to suck the Chinese Communist Party's dick since he looks like a young Xi Jinping, gets offended by real directors who point out that the MCU is copy/paste trash.
And the whole reason he reacted is that he is insecure and knows he isn't a good actor.
“Star”
Everyone is a star in there own press releases.
This dickhead thinks he is hot shit like donnie yen or jackie chan just because he was in a shitty b tier marvel movie. His native china, movies are 99.99% chinese actors.
I feel like we're only about a year or so away, maybe less, from being told that you're racist and sexist if you don't like the MCU.
That's been happening since Captain Marvel and the first Black Panther movies.
Even if they haven't said that exactly, we're already there. Having standards at all is racist and sexist, whether you're a creator or a consumer
Shame, I enjoyed Kim's Convenience for what it was and thought it was cool for him that he made the leap from Canadian sitcoms to US action movies. Now I won't watch his shit, and hope his career falters. Why do these fuckers have to open their mouths and make the world realize they have a personality that we don't like?
Hell will be substantially white.
But superheroes are a played-out concept. Trans-humans and uber-humans and anti-humans are making humanity ... less. This leftism* is not compatible with ongoing generational life.
We don't need supers; we need good fertile humans.
* cuz that's what Transcending Humanity™️ really is...
Ah yes, everything is racist, including blockbuster film criticism.
Funny thing is, he thinks he's safely on the grifting side but asians are being thrown in the 'privilege' pit with whites more often than not now. Their status changes according to how useful they are at any given time, but this will come back to bite him eventually
The Golden Age of Hollywood was full of stories of heroism and self-sacrifice. Those themes are universal across cultures, per Joseph Campbell's research on the monomyth/hero's journey. The MCU up through Phase 3, was probably the last mainstream, contemporary example of this. Now, heroes act more like villains in hero's clothing. They're self-absorbed, petty, and arrogant. We're expected to see those as positive traits because the characters belong to the right identity groups.
wtf I love hell now
+200 social credit. Maybe they'll finally be able to release his movie in China.
Yeah it's funny that. They had a few Asian actors and it seems they got their roles by being good at their job and knowing the right people. Only that last part seems to have continued existing.
Even Simu could have been a likable actor if he did not open his mouth. I honestly felt sorry for him in this movie, he felt kind of sidelined and I thought he did not deserve it but it turns out he is such an identity grifting moron that I can't stand him now.
His entire line is that no asians made it big in Hollywood until him, somehow denying how freaking popular a lot of asian actors are, they were cult level big. He is not just a race grifter but a low IQ one as well.
