Matthew Polly (author of Bruce Lee: a life. The most detailed biography of the man) he details that Ed Spielman created the character of Caine and co wrote the movie with Howard Frielander in 1969 that became the movie and subsequent tv series. It is true that Bruce Lee was considered for the role of Caine and was passed over for various reasons including Hollywood racism im sure. However a Warner Brothers executive didn’t want to lose Lee to Paramount and offered him a deal to make his own tv series with an advance ready to start. That series would have been Ah Sahm later retitled The Warrior. Lee was working on his movie The Big Boss and wanted to see how it performed first before signing the deal. Big Boss was a smash hit and Lee decided to continue a career in movies. This a common misinterpretation of events that’s gone on for years.

Okay, so I kind of doubted Shang-Chi. Like, A LOT. I felt like the only reason they were using him was because they probably can't use Iron Fist for a bit. But no, the new Shang-Chi movie isn't just a publicity stunt or a plan to have an Iron Fist like character in the MCU until it's been long enough so they can actually use Iron Fist, it's an attempt to bring back a formerly popular and beloved character and also do something a bit different for the start of the MCU's new era. And frankly? I think that's really cool! Kind of excited to watch the movie after seeing this. It already looked like a fun time, so, yeah, this helped.

I've always known about the racist history around the yellow skin, Fu Manchu, having a white mother and few other things... Never heard about that Fu Manchu origin, ah, that classic British racism. I'm so glad you mentioned the original "Phase O" of the MCU, because Kevin Feige wanted to get this movie off the ground for years, yet the powers that be kept sidelining it, and those same powers gave us the Iron Fist... debacle. As of now, you can tell Marvel has been fixing this character the ground up for a year now, and doing a really good job at it with both the comic and the movie!

Wait, of those ten original MCU films, the only project not slated to become a movie or tv show yet is Power Pack? I hope they get a Disney+ show TBH

That "Stan Lee, no relation" bit killed me

Great insight in this video. I've been a Shang-Chi fan for a while, ever since hearing he was Marvel's premiere martial artist. Little do fans know that he's actually been a huge fixture of the MU for a decades and has crossed paths with many of Marvel's top characters. The issues from the 1970s - 1980s can be problematic especially with the epitome of Yellow Peril as one of the characters. However, rereading those issues, I was surprised at how progressive they could be. Shang is involved in a prominent romantic relationship for instance with Leiko Wu. I was also surprised to hear how he was always in the periphery of Marvel's movie production. I'm glad that after all of this time, he's finally getting recognition both in the comics and especially the MCU.

Power Pack absolutely deserves a movie based on the original Louise Simonson run. But it would be best if Franklin Richards is born first. See especially issues 16-28.

As soon as I saw the trailers, I began reading his backstory and whatnot as soon as possible!

4:14 I've only heard the name "Fu Manchu" before in reference to the propaganda visual archetype, which I assume actually refers to depictions of East Asians inspired by the character. I had no idea before now that he was a singular copyrighted character. Hearing that Marvel got the rights to Fu Manchu produced the same reaction as if you told me they bought the rights to the Jewish schemer character. Before your explaination I didn't know that was a thing you could do, or something you'd even want if you weren't making Yellow Peril propaganda.

He's fighting against the British, which is entirely understandable given that the Brits were first in line for the 'bend China over the table' train and they committed atrocities that make the worst of the insidious Doctor's actions look like children playing in the park.

My first introduction to him was as a guest star in X-Men (Vol.2 #62 - #64). He even gets a brief backstory summary. As they likely assumed anyone reading X-Men in 1997, might not have heard of Shang Chi. It is quite a good story too, with really nice art. Plus.. Bandana Wolverine.

This may be a very unpopular opinion... but I actually really like Fu Manchu. When you look past the offensive stereotypes, Fu Manchu is one of the first supervillains in literature and one of the first intelligent Asian characters written by a Western author. He's brilliant, sophisticated, and honorable, all traits that I honestly love in my villains. He even once sent a wedding gift to his nemesis. Don't get me wrong, I totally get the MCU changing the identity of Shang-Chi's father and I have no problem with it or people who can't see Fu Manchu as anything else than problematic. There are just things I still like about Fu Manchu despite those issues.

If Taika Waititi’s Flash Gordon movie ever gets made I’m curious how he’ll handle Ming.

They had several B&W titles where they could have stories outside the limitations imposed by the Comics Code. 2) I was reading _Master of Kung Fu_ as it was being published. Paul Gulacy was the artist for many issues, and his style was unique, appealing, and creative. 3) It never made sense to me that they would license Fu Manchu. Most folks by then didn't know who he was. Culturally, those who did were beginning to view him (correctly) as a racist stereotype. Why spend money to tie one of your heroes to that mostly unknown baggage? 4) Bruce Lee was up for the part of Caine in the _Kung Fu_ TV series. (He had also proposed _The Warrior_ as a television series about a martial artist in the old west.) Instead, the part went to David Carridine because ABC executives didn't want an Asian man to lead a TV series.

I can answer this a little bit. For one, Black Cat actually has superpowers. She has some luck-based powers that lets her get away with some of her more outlandish heists.

Grounded by DC standards, so things still get weird, but nothing as crazy as Black Cat fighting the god of the Symbiotes to save Dr. Strange.

Black Cat has luck based powers. Her costume was largely way different compared to prior versions of Catwoman (many since have had a similar cat suit design). Original Catwoman had a giant fake cat head and only gained a black cat suit a few years after Black Cat debuted. Black Cat was not meant to originally fill the Femme Fatal role as she was going to be in the Spider-woman book but was repurposed went he creator went to write Spider-man. In addition Felicia is often portrayed as being the more morally dubious of the two and while both have had heroic moments. People are more willing to accept Selena suddenly being better. Where Selena is usually portrayed as a poor person, Felicia is often seen being rich and loving it. They are both similar love interests but where Catwoman loves the Bat and the man behind the mask. It takes Felicia a long time to mature and realise she likes the man under the mask. That is why Selena has a larger cast of characters to bounce off of where as Black Cat's loyalty shifts focus. Also worth noting is that while Bruce often ends up with Selena. Felicia never gets Peter so the one good thing in her life was something she blew away due to a dumb mistake. Both have since broken off and have become a lot more than just simple love interests, where Catwoman is often associated with a whip, Felicia just has her suit and powers Both reflect lives the heroes can't have. Where Catwoman would lose the thrill if she marries Bruce, Felicia happens to be a brilliant partner for Peter that he never chooses. Someone who understands him well. Sure MJ does that but Felicia is someone who loves what he does as Spidey and would never question it. Hell she dated a man who was his biggest fan. Selena isn't as obsessive but she also is played to be smarter and more resourceful. Black Cat definitely has other qualities like how she can be kinda cold at times and doesn't take much responsibilities but one of the benefits of how Marvel does story telling is seeing her develop into becoming a better person. Especially one not tied to her role as Spider-man's girlfriend. It says a lot that had Spider-man 4 and Amazing Spider-man 3 not been cancelled, that she would have likely made an appearance. There is genuine interest in the character.

Given Shang Chi's origins as a character that was capitalizing on the popularity of Kung Fu martial arts-wise as well as starting out as a stereotype, I'm kind of surprised Marvel didn't create (as far as I'm aware) a stereotypical ninja character to encounter or team up with Shang Chi once the the 80's rolled around. I say this because if my martial arts movie history is accurate (and it's quite possible that I'm wrong) the 80's had ninjas pick up where Kung Fu movies left off in a manner of speaking. I could easily see them making a Sho Kosugi look-alike or something to that effect. Would it be worth going down the stereotypical road all over again? Probably not. However, I do think it would be cool to see Shang Chi be the leader of his own hero team comprised entirely of martial artists of various styles from all over the world. (Some Examples: A British or Irish Boxer, a Russian Sambo fighter, a Kenjutsu or Kobudo master, a French Savateur, a Greek Pankration fighter, a Muay Thai or Muay Boran fighter, a Silat master, etc.) Total side-bar: Speaking of the tv show, "Kung Fu," I've heard some interesting stories about its production that while they are likely only nuggets cranked out by the Hollywood rumor mill, they make for some interesting topics anyway. One that I could see as likely being true is that as the story goes Bruce Lee wrote a script for the pilot of the show, "Kung Fu," and auditioned to star in it. Here's the part with two different claims, one of which seems possible, the other not so much: So the first version of the story is actually at least possible given the time period we're talking here. Supposedly Bruce Lee was turned down for the role because the general consensus was that American audiences wouldn't be receptive to a lead character who was Chinese or Asian in general for that matter. The second (and truly ridiculous version) was Bruce being turned down because he wasn't seen as being Chinese enough for the part! I personally think that version of events is just a load of crap considering they cast a white dancer with no actual previous martial arts experience whatsoever, but it's still hilarious to think about. How or why would they turn down Bruce "Considered to be the Greatest Martial Artist of all Time," Lee for David Caradine, who was again, a white dancer with no training. The only martial arts (although not exactly considered martial anymore) experience he legitimately had that I've ever heard about was when he later took up Taijiquan. Chuck Norris was even sited as having said that, "He (David Caradine) is as much a martial artist as I (Chuck Norris) am an actor." Good on Chuck for not taking himself too seriously in regards to his lack of formal acting chops, and although his comment sounds pretty scathing, as far as I have found it seems he may have been technically correct when questioning Cardine's lack of martial arts legitimacy. I mean no disrespect to David Caradine, but I still can't help but call into question why anyone would take someone who isn't Chinese or even Asian with no martial arts experience over Bruce Lee to play a Shaolin Kung Fu master, hence why I think that version of the story has almost zero chance of being true. After all, because of Bruce Lee's popularity on the show, "The Green Hornet," they changed the title when it aired in various Asian counties as, "The Kato Show." (Kato being the character Bruce played on the show, "The Green Hornet," for anyone who might not know.) Yes I recognize that being a popular secondary protagonist is still different from being a leading man, but I still think given what they were looking for in regards to casting the lead for Kung Fu they could've (and should have) taken the chance and put Lee in the role that was not only practically promised to him, but he was already (in my opinion) even overqualified for. Besides, even though there were likely changes to the script, if the idea really was Bruce Lee's work in the first place then you would think that this would be even more reason to give him the part he wrote for. Regardless of what the truth might've been, the whole situation does admittedly make for an interesting topic of discussion.

So, I actually didn't even know Shang Chi was that old or ever had his own series. I actually thought he was a modern made supporting character.

Well, people don't realize that Howard the Duck was a revolutionary character and the reason he was Marvel's first movie star was because he was that hot -- but then of course Marvel fired his creator Steve Gerber and George Lucas & company fucked the character so bad in the movie that he just became a punch line to a bad joke.

marvel premiere/deadly hands of Kung Fu is where a BUNCH of famous Marvel martial arts characters made their debut, including Iron Fist, the original White Tiger, Colleen Wing and several more, including eventual mix with characters like Luke Cage and Misty Knight (because Kung Fu + blaxploitation usually worked well in the 70s) BTW, I'm surprised Marvel is not trying to push characters like White Tiger yet to get to the Hispanic community. (the name might be a weird thing to get over)

I would love to have seen a start to the Marvel Universe that hadn't been so sexist and white washed by Ike Perlmutter.

I’m surprised anti-SJW’s don’t praise Ike Perlmutter cause he exactly acts like them.

This explains why the movies shared some similarities with the iron fist show

Speaking of Marvel Comics with Asian style characters, I would love for you to do a video about the Marvel Comics Godzilla series

I'm kinda disappointed that Disney hasn't done a PJ masks and spiderman crossover considering both are very popular. Heck I'm grown adult and I would probably watch. Plus if they bring in the venom symbiote and let it bond with each member of the PJ masks then they get a bunch of new toys(and possibly a very over powered venom.)

@@krimsonkatt PJ masks is Disney, not every version of Venom is that dark I didn't say it was the comics venom for instance it would be very easy to say that the symbiot is being misunderstood considering PJ masks has done that before and has done the reverse a couple of times, it's not like PJ masks can't be enjoyed by all ages either, there are some comics that are just as toned down and a multitude of cartoons they could use one of the cartoon versions of venom and it wouldn't be the first time they took an education character into the comics did you forget that both spiderman and his amazing friends (I think that's the name of the show it's been a while), and superhero squad are both educational shows that had characters from those shows show up in the comics so that isn't impossible regardless I was referring to in the show itself anyways. Hell if Spider-Man and his amazing friends had venom they could use that version or again pretty much any cartoon version of venom as most of them aren't that dark.
