I read some articles today about the casting of the Marvel movie Doctor Strange. Why is there an Asian male in the comic and a white female in the movie?
At first Marvel's response was "for creative freedom." But recently, the president of Marvel said it was a casting error and apologized like an Asian.
There are two reasons for this inconsistency. One is interests. Marvel's new movie "Shang Qi" has also been criticized and even boycotted by netizens because of the casting issue. In the face of such a large film market in China, Marvel had to make some concessions for money. The second reason is that because of the epidemic, Asians around the world have been attacked by hate to varying degrees. Stop asian hate is also known as the new anti-discrimination slogan in the United States. Marvel also doesn't want to be politically correct, so it's better to pretend to be friendly to Asians.
Of course, the real root cause is that Hollywood has never had positive Asian male characters, while Asian females feel that they are mostly vase-type sex toys, or white hero-protagonist trophy-type roles.
The American show, which featured positive Asian male characters, was cut after one season. The official reason was "not in line with reality". Hehe, a group of black scientists, black mermaids, black Valkyries, or something is in line with reality?
It has to be said that Asians, especially Asian men, are at the bottom in Hollywood. Even in a modern society with equal rights for ethnic minorities, the so-called racial equality is only equal rights for blacks and whites, and has nothing to do with other ethnic groups, especially Asians.
Sad, but helpless.
