That's okay, everyone else is enthused. :)

Also, fairly by the numbers plot???? What are you even talking about. This isn't even similar in regards to other superhero origin stories.

It's a pretty basic "arrogant white dude learns errors of his ways" plot. That's pretty common in media generally, even if it's not in superhero movies.

But also, in superhero movies specifically, it's literally the plot of Iron Man.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean....normal guy has accident and everything changes: seen it. Superpowers are a mixed bag: seen it. Learning from the wise ancient shaman Yoda whatever: seen it. Some Inception stuff: seen it.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade (except for all the Asian stuff like can we interrogate this), just disappointed.

You know that Asian people are going to love this movie right? I expect it will do way better than Ant-Man because it has Asian themes.

Ah, the singular Asian monolith. The Asian.

Uh. I was using the language you were using.

"Asian cultural fetishism/appropriation"
"all the Asian stuff"

If you want to be more specific? China and Japan are going to love this. Especially China. Marvel movies do great in the Chinese market. With the added "Asian stuff" it is going to do phenomenal.

That doesn't mean there aren't also Asian people from all over the world who are bothered?

I have no doubt the film will do well in Asia bc as you say, Marvel movies do well there. That doesn't mean that it's not failing to live up to potential/engaging in some troubling shit

I'm shamelessly unconcerned with the opinions of Asian people living in Asian countries where they're the default race and aren't fetishized. And Asian-Americans and other Asian Westerners won't have as favorable an opinion as them, I'm sure.
