Shang chi mogging scene

[House Lannister]

Was watching this movie again the other day (turned it off after like 10 mins) and saw this scene

Chang comes out and the directors know immediately that the audience will think of him as some important character then he mogs the actual main character and dips

Wasn't that "chang" a poster on one of the incel forums?

Listen to this interview done with Ludi Lin. Starts with 9:15. Ludi Lin said he was not cast for Shang Chi because he was too "good-looking". There's no question the role he was referring to was Shang chi.

Let's face it. I appreciate the movie Shang Chi. But Simu Liu fits more into the category of awkwardly funny and goofy (but of course also attractive) Paul Rudd Ant-Man and Star Lord Chris Pratt type of guys. And that was Marvel's intention: to cast an approachable and down-to-earth asian guy. Marvel knew what they were looking for. They were NOT looking for a very attractive Asian actor, period. There is no cultural misunderstanding here. If they advertise they were looking for one, they were Lying.

Paul Rudd and Chris Pratt are AVERAGE white dude (in terms of facial feature). Simu Liu is also an average Asian guy (in terms of facial feature only. There is no denying that Simu is attractive. But in terms of facial features alone, he is average). He is not handsome nor is he ugly. Don't get me wrong. This definitely helps with average Asian male attraction because, previoulsy, average Asian man wasn't even considered attractive to start with (but this also begs the question: has the movie REALLY made Simu attractive? Showing one' upperbody and baring your chest doesn't mean you're attractive. Bruce Lee has done that 50 years ago. What doesn't change is Simu doesn't have love interest. And if they're going to make Awkafina his love interest in the future, that's going to be really awkward and a swipe at Simu's attractiveness because, let's be honest, Awkafina for Simu Liu is a bit off lol----similar to or even worse than casting Chelsy Handler, rather than Evangeline Lilly, as love interest for Paul Rudd. Even Romeo Must Die does better than Shang Chi in this regard because, although Jet Li didn't kiss the girl at the end of the movie, his chemistry with Aliyah was undeniably intense in that movie---btw many people have no idea the impact of Rome Must Die in the black community. It definitely influenced a generation of black women).

There's nothing wrong with casting an average Asian dude in a positive light. It's definitley a good thing. But to sell him as the pinnacle of supposedly handsome Asian male is nothing but obfuscation of what Asian beauty is. This is not an argument for relativism. Especially in modern era, Beauty could be universal. It's not just an eurocentric standard which everybody else copies and imitates. Beauty has different instantiations in different ethnic groups and difficult to objectively describe: but WE KNOW IT WHEN WE SEE IT.

(Btw, if Hollywood knows perfectly well Simu Liu is an average looking dude, this also goes to show you casting Simu Liu as Ken in Barbie is nothing more than an attempt to make him a sidekick for Ryan Gosling: casting average Asian dude to accentuate white beauty; imagine casting Godfrey Gao who will completely overshadows Ryan Gosling lol. The dirty psychological trick is also played upon the audiences because they will ask: is "this all Asian community could offer for one of their most handsome men?").

Part 2
Many Asian people, regardless of whether born in the west or East, are confused about what is supposed to constitute Asian beauty that has universal appeal**.** The confusion arises from the lack of attractive Asian male celebrity in western popular media (Granted, there are many Asian male celebrities. But none of the prominent ones is that attractive) and from the fact that what is considered handsome in Asia is NOT considered handsome in the West (same with beauty of Asian women, but that's another topic). This is not true. The truth is what is considered handsome in Asia is STILL and ALSO considered handsome in the West. The reason they are not considered so is that people forget about eliminating variables: except for KPOP fans in the west, the same Asian guy dressed with Asian pop culture sense of fashion will be less appealing to the general western audiences than the same guy who pack on some muscles, get more chiseled, get tanned, and with a clean haircut (and it's not just look. There are also demeanor and mannerism that project different kinds of charisma. But that's another topic).

The example I like to use is Korean American actor Will Yun Lee. This is what he looks like:









Will Yun Lee is not a big star. And he doesn't have monstrously big jaw, copious amount of facial hair, or macho look (those so-called sereotypical Western manly traits). But Hollywood absolutely knows he is one hella handsome guy: he was ALWAYS cast as very attractive guy in American movie and TV shows. He was voted one of the 50 most gorgeous men in Hollwood in early 2000s by People magazine. But I think most of us don't need the magazine to tell us that to already know he is an extremely gorgeous human being.

Now, there are two extremely popular Chinese actors (by "popular" I don't mean it lightly: their equivalents would be Paul Walker and Zac Efron in American movie industry) who share simliar facial features with Will Yun Lee: Wu Chun and Nicholas Tse Ting-fung




Wu Chun





Nicholas Tse


Nicholas Tse

Putting everything aside (Wu Chun's haircut especially lol), their simliarity is obvious: Will, Wu, and Nicholas all belong to the same type of good-looking Asian dudes. I have no doubt if they get a new haircut (Nicholas already is there), get tanned (Nicholas is already there), put on some muscles (Wu Chun is already jacked) or even just dress a bit differently, they will be considered equally attractive in the west (that is, if we imagine popular media promotes them like Chinese and Taiwanese media do. Most likely not lol). Similarly, I have no doubt that Will Yun Lee, if he speaks Chinese or Korean, will become a breakout superstar in Asia, even more popular than the two guys above because he is much more talented.



Part 3
One thing I want to point out aggressively is double eye lid is not a default Eurocentric standard of beauty. A great majority of south East Asian people are double eyelid. A large majority of Chinese are double eye lid (go google Chinese average face). Many Japanese are double eyelid. What people don't get is there are different kinds of double eye lid. A NATURALLY double eye lid on Asian face is different from that on an indo-european one. Hell, double eyelid on East Asian is even different from South East Asian.

Another thing I want to point out aggressively is it is ABSOLUTELY untrue that monolid is considered unattractive for Asians. Many people don't find Simu Liu attractive not because of his monolid but simply because he is not that attractive lol. It's not like as soon as people see monolid they automatically judge he is not handsome. No. I can name NUMEROUS Asian Superstars (they are not just some random guys but extremely popular in Asia) and Asian American actors with monolid (most of them with small eyes) who are considered classcially handsome or good-looking:




Leung Ka-fai (Hong Kong)




Rick Yune (Asian American)






Kim Soo Hyung (Korean)


Karl Yune (Asian American)







What is especially helpful at making the case is if we compare Simu Liu with Bi Rain. Both are monolid. Both star in martial art movie. Both took their shirt off for the role.

This is Bi Rain (arguably the MOST popular Asian singer in late 2000s):















In Shang Chi, we get this lol:




whoever picked this for poster shall be shot and did Simu dirty...






whoever trained Simu shall be fired

I don't think anybody even just remotely objective and unbiased (no matter guy or girls, no matter what ethnicity) would have any hesitation at judging which character is more charismatic, sexy, badass, eye-grabbing. The Bi Rain character simply blows Shang Chi out of water. There is no comparison. I can only imagine how big Shang Chi will be if they cast someone like Bi Rain or Ludi Lin... (aside from the fact that Simu Liu is a North American, Shang Chi movie, compared to Ninja Assassin, is thus not groundbreaking AT ALL. It even represents a step backward...Don't forget Ninja Assasin was back in 2009...)



Conclusion:

Attraction is not something that can be forced or voluntarily willed. Before you know it, you're already attracted to it and hooked. Attraction is something that must be cultivated and evoked out of people. It is not enough to put an Asian guy on screen and tell people he is sexy and then naively believe people will buy into the idea that he is attractive simply because he is on screen---- this is not cultivation and seduction; this is political correctness at its worst: pure voluntarism. By that logic, we could put Bobby Lee on ALL movies to play romantic lead and heroes, forcing people to watch it countless times with the expectation that they will eventually think he is attractive because he is the only guy they can see on screen. People will feel cheated.

The problem is not that people don't find Asians attractive because they haven't seen enough Asian people. The problem is they don't find Asian attractive because they haven't seen enough ATTRACTIVE Asians, period. Contrary to popular belief, attraction does not work from bottom-up but from top-down----it trickles down. Asian girls in Asia find white guys attractive NOT because they have seen a lot of average white guy on screen but because they have seen a lot of handsome white guy on screen----the average white guy get the benefit because the attractive ones set the tone of beauty standard for all of them. This is similar to how racial hiearchy work: even if you make 6 figures white collar job and are good looking, a white incel would still feel superior to you and act racist because the society overall is top echelon of the society is white with which he identifies.

Of course, this doesn't mean we should thereby just aquiese in the status quo and put Asian people who look European on screen because majority audiences find that more accepting.None of the good-looking Asian actors I listed above look European. The point is we need to cast genuinely good-looking Asian men (who are not white-washed) whom we ourselves ALREADY consider attractive but general Western public HAVEN'T SEEN. The key is to make them think the same: this is EXACTLY what Hollywood does to the rest of the world---they didn't create specific beauty standard out of nothing that caters to different regional markets, which is impossible because beauty cannot be forced upon. They export what they themselves consider to be handsome and beautiful directly. And we accept them not because we get brainwashed but because those actors and actresses were indeed handsome and beautiful. They are not good-looking because they are white. They are good-looking because we get hooked. Our actors can do the same if given the same amount of media exposure, that is, if they are already really attractive in the first place.

Simu Liu is not a Chang. He's a low tier normie who's ugly enough for Hollywood to allow him to be a star. Any actually attractive asian men are not allowed in Hollywood lol. I swear they pick the worst actors.

Basically Hollywood casts ugly to average Asian dudes who have a more "western" look. They will never cast an actual mogger gook. Gooks following east asian looks standards mogs wannabe western looks x1000 over.

U could find thousands of mogger prettyboy chang asian Americans on tiktok. But they will never be casted in Hollywood lol. They want the ugly middle aged faggot gook cucks

I was caging when I saw people say “Oh the reason China doesn’t think he’s good looking is cause he’s a different beauty standard”. He’s just a normie in every “beauty standard”
