People forget's Whedon's dogshit Alien 4 script, which is also extremely misogynistic. Or at least every male character is extremely gross to the female characters.

I mean the Fu Manchu bit is a million times better than the fact his father sought out a white woman for her superior genetics to make him. Which is, you know, probably not something they are going to touch on in his backstory.

This looks fine and I love Robbie as Harley.

I do kind of wish you had a Suicide Squad that feels like the 80s comics that are more of these political thrillers. It was such a cult classic for such a long time, current Suicide Squad is a bit of a monkey's paw.

John Ostrander is credited and has a cameo in the film.

Shang-Chi's dad is Fu-Manchu, but since he hates the racist novels featuring him he just calls himself the Mandarin now.

I mean they were retconing Shang-Chi's dad to be the Mandarin.

Originally his dad was Fu Manchu.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Marvel lost the rights to Fu Manchu a long time ago, the comics also retconned his dad years ago (although they didn't use the Mandarin afaik)

Of course if anyone could have managed to buy the rights to Sax Rohmer's back catalogue it would have been Disney but I guess they weren't all that concerned

IIRC, they just changed his name, it's still the same dude.


Everyone posted:

Why would they want one of their big MCU movies to feature Chinese Uncle Remus?

Though, bizarrely, I think I recall something where the general plots for the Fu Manchu books were the "heroes" trying to stop Fu Manchu from preventing/over-throwing world-wide white supremacy. So, Fu Manchu was kind of the actual hero of those books?

When I read the books as a kid, Id efinitely liked Fu Manchu way more than "the heroes".

Eventually the racist author came to love his character so much he'd tell in interviews that a world run by Fu Manchu would be better than what we have now lol.

This just confirms that the MCU is part of the Nasuverse, and the TVA is merely trying to stop their timeline from being subject to the pruning theoretical phenomenon and/or becoming a Lostbelt.

If you don't understand these words, that's okay. Just know that it's very anime.

I don't understand those words in terms of their specific meaning but I don't have to because it's also a very Marvel thing. Like putting the word "Quantum" in front of other words as though that's a real explanation for what's happening.

I'm gonna explain it more anyway, cause I feel like it.

So, the Nasuverse is just a bunch of interlinked animes/videogames based on the work of a japanese nerd named Kinoko nasu and his friends who add stuff to it. In that multiverse, there AREN'T infinite timelines: when a timeline diverges too much so that humanity becomes stagnant or dies off, the timeline is pruned. Why or if it affects other worlds hasn't been explained yet afaik.

The current storyline of the phone game is that an Alien God has wiped the Earth clean and brought back some of those Doomed Timelines (called Lostbelts cause anime) to fight it out until one remains to become the new main timeline. The hero fights them by summoning heroes of the past to fight them.
