it kind of is crazy-making that they just rebranded Shang-chi, son of the best known Racist Caricature, and now they pretend that it's East Asian Representation. I hope Marvel Comics gets what's coming to them.
also like yeah the Ultimates is the edgy imprint but they really had Colonel Abdul al-Rahma, a guy that became superpowered to fight the USA's invasion of Iraq, his home country, becoming an international terrorist villain taking money from Iran, PRC, DPRK, Syria, Russia, and inexplicably, France. Like any Marvel card is the racist card because this is the bullshit they make.
Like, the Marvel Civil War (not the movie) is a thinly-veiled metaphor about the Patriot Act, a piece of legislation that gives broad-based power to the US government whose legacy we'll never escape from, and the people who are for the thinly-veiled metaphor for the patriot act wins the actual and moral victory? What do you mean, what's racist about Marvel? The company has always been an awful racist toady for the US govt.
