:ben10: Required Reading The guy that played Shang-Chi claimed that Tarantino's movies aren't diverse which is hilarious because his filmography is objectively more diverse than Marvel's

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/nov/23/simu-liu-criticises-quentin-tarantino-after-director-laments-the-marvelisation-of-hollywood

He basically implied that if Tarantino was in charge of the film industry, minority actors wouldn't ever be cast. My immediate reaction was "What the frick are you talking about?". Tarantino unironically probably has more diversity in his movies than any other white male director. Even if Simu Liu was talking about Asian actors specifically, did he forget that Lucy Liu was one of the main characters in Kill Bill? It's probably her most iconic role.

Out of the nine films Tarantino has directed, only two of them had exclusively white male leads (Reservoir Dogs and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). Basterds was mainly white and male too but Shosanna was also one of the lead characters which is why I didn't count it. Marvel has made four movies with non-white leads (Eternals, Black Panther 1 & 2, Shang-Chi), Tarantino has made five (Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight, Django, Pulp Fiction, and Death Proof). And this is despite the fact that Marvel has made more than three times as many movies as he has.

Marvel was run by a guy that actually was blatantly racist until 2015 (Ike Perlmutter). I really have no idea how Disney has convinced people that they're some champion of progressive values. They literally never have been. They didn't have any non-white leads in their animated films until the 90's and they're just now starting to slowly acknowledge that gay people exist.

Their PR department must be really good at their jobs. The Mouse has somehow managed to appeal to right-wingers by basically never being controversial or pushing the envelope but they've also somehow gotten zoomers to believe that they're leading the charge for social justice. It genuinely is kind of fascinating to me how Disney can somehow play both sides successfully.

Shang-man's take is so pantpoopingly stupid it got me into commenting on a Lawlz thread. DisMarvel are still passive progressive and their "diversity films" are still comical exaggerations of racial cultures. Wakanda is some "Africa is a nation" nonsense that still has people chucking spears with bones in their lips, but it's cool cause it's :marseysoylentgrin: futuristic spears :marseysoylentgrin:. Shang-Chi literally went into magical Asian land that's all the Asian cultures smushed together. Was it supposed to be Chinese? Korean? Filipino? Technically India is Asia too.

Maybe I'm just following and am friends with The Good Libs but nobody I see does believe that. I saw a bunch of rehashed 56th New Gay Disney Character memes when they pulled that shit again with a new movie. Then again, I mentioned how I stay away from shitholes like /r/politics in another thread and places like that where the worst, dumbest libs congregate.

When the first black panther came out I was really amazed that it didnt get called out as racist caricature. I guess as long as it still has enough bipocs in it libtards dont care.

Even black people dont care. Theyre so distanced from their homelands they believe in the same stereotypes as whitey without knowing it.

This is actually the quintessential asian american experience. Where basic vietnamese girls drink bubble tea, watch kpop and anime, and complain about their parents, calling all of it "their culture" as they post on Subtle Asian Traits

According to marvel/disney whatever, there are simply no African or Asian countries that could possibly be interesting enough, so blacks(americans) and asians(americans) gotta have their own larp versions.
