Pandering much? Are the evil doers going to be Americans?
When I read the title, I thought Marvel would finally make a Shang-Chi movie. But…this seems cool, too.
Great to see another white guy write a minority’s story. Gilroy really understands what it means to be Chinese. What? Are there no Chinese writers (even Asian, for Pete’s sake) in the WGA? Talk about discrimination.
what you’re doing right here is called discrimination. you’re judging the abilities of a writer based on his race. If he writes a good script who cares if hes even from outer space?
How many Asian writers were offered the position? And I am really curious to know what race you are cuz it takes a white guy to claim your argument.
I’ll bet no minority writers were even offered the chance.
America is a very discriminatory country. Shoving ideologies of the white status quo down the throats other countries.
Forgetting race, WTF does De Gilrouy know about Chinese culture and what that market wants? Why not grandfather in the writers of Hero, Crouching Tiger, Great Revivial, Lost Blademan, etc to the WGA and let them work?
Don’t worry about it.
This will NEVER get made. By the time the script gets through the Chinese censors, it won’t work as a movie, and won’t be produced.
How did a picture from the Munsters reboot get in there?
Puh-leez.
Gilroy is a brilliant action writer. This is an action movie. If I were producing an action movie, that’d be enough for me.
Youse guys always just looking for something to bitch about.
As previously stated, only a white person would make this argument. You brave enough to come out, you arrogant ass?
A-men.
Why are you libs getting so bent out of shape? I’m sure they searched high and low for an Asian writer and they couldn’t find any. Especially not in the story directly preceding this one.
So the “libs” support equal opportunity, then you and the conservatives don’t support it which means you discriminate. FunkDubious is a racist.
