Today's faux outrage (1 Viewer)

[shadyridr]

Marvel cast a white actor to play kung fu expert superhero Iron Fist. The internet is outraged they didn't choose an Asian even though he's white in the comics.

Marvel clearly hates minorities. See black Captain America, hispanic Spider-Man, Asian Hulk, and female Thor.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

You kids and your cartoons.

Fyi the actor is the guy who plays Loras on GoT

 

[Henry Ford]

Yeah, this sounds just awesome.

Iron Fist is totally rad.

Iron Fist is totally rad.  

Oh, I'm sure.

Damn Millennials will complain about anything.

At least the LGBT crowd will be happy.

So Iron Fist will be gay? Gives his super hero name a whole new meaning.

The already screwed Asians over by casting a crusty old white dude and changing the backstory of one of the greatest Asian bad guys in MARVEL....The Mandarin.

I kind of put this in the "no win situation" bin. If they did cast an Asian actor, they'd be accused of sterotyping or pigeon-holing Asian actors to martial arts based roles.

 

[Henry Ford]

Oh, I'm sure.

One of the first interracial relationships in comics.

Might be the worst treatment of a character in comic movie history, although they ####ed up Rogue pretty badly

also Iron Fist kinda sucks

I'm outraged about you calling FDAS a dickbag

Is that why they didn't cast an Asian guy in the role?

 

[Cjw_55106]

Well, I once went to a Benihana and the chef that worked our table was white. I felt cheated and as much as I hate to say it, Marvel is going to take the brunt of my anger and will not get a dime from me. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Because Daniel Rand is blonde?  Probably.

They're usually Mexican at the one I go to

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I hope they don't dumb-down or cheapen this by straying from the source material.  

 

[skol asylum]

Ant Man also strayed from the source material.

You want REAL OUTRAGE     PARCC MATH  has to be the dumbest way to teach kids math ever.   I'm a math major and some of the methods they teach are confusing as hell.

My daughter has the answers done in 5 minutes BUT then has to draw these equation bars and some #### that take her like an hour to figure out.  SO DUMB!!!!

I am not smarter than a 5th grader apparently, well 6th since she's in 6th grade math

AND MY BIGGEST GRIPE - she get "deducted" points because in her equation where she multiplies she techinically didn't have the 2 numbers in the right order.   IT"S ### #### MULTIPLICATION

Iron Fist is totally rad.  

His wife, Iron Box; not so much.

Why are we having faux outrage over the faux outrage related to a kids movie?

Fap

 

[Henry Ford]

Iron Fist is highly unlikely to be a kid's movie.  It's the next Netflix TV series in the Daredevil universe.
