Hellllll nahhh

Centimetres are SUPERIOR.

Inches are just a weird ass metric and respectfully, yall are weird.

Also.. i'm 5'2.5/158cm.... :33

I miss itttt

I am about half way through it.

Hopefully posting it by the end of this weekend!

That one scene where we see Carol through the eyes of Dar-Benn, the day Captain Marvel became their "Annihilator". The way we linger on her, eyes glowing, not speaking, she almost looks like a predator or a weapon. She seeks threats to destroy. She's scary.

I loved it. Give me more ominous super-heroes. Give me heroes ready to kill or dismember their enemies to neutralize them. Sure, make them feel guilty afterwards and even horrified of what they did if you want. But make them capable of it.

Good luck 😁

- i nearly broke down and cried at the scene when shang chi was teaching katy how to pronounce his name. it wasn’t over and done in two seconds but repeatedly to make sure that she got the intonation of the words right. like what wenwu says, names are sacred. i am a person who goes by my chinese name in 90% of my life and i pull out a chosen english name when needed to (i.e. i’m in a predominantly white country and it’s too much effort to keep repeating my name over and over again, at starbucks lol etc.)

- if i had a dollar for every time one of my parents said ‘i’ve eaten salt more than you’ve had rice in your life’, i’d be rich. how valuable was it to have such an everyday chinese saying in a blockbuster movie and so authentically

- that being said, i enjoyed having close to half of the movie in chinese. it wasn’t a token chinese or asian language line where you could establish that the characters were POC but because the story is rooted in the chinese culture and a chinese family, why wouldn’t they speak chinese to each other? even after establishing that they could, they didn’t switch to english fully but bantered back and forth in both, which is what i do too in my home

- also authentic chinese accents? bless

- the tribute paid to the old hk and china movies in the scene where wenwu went to avenge ying li. the oversized blazer? the rolled up sleeves? the hair? the chinese gambling den? chef’s kiss

- oh lordy if i didn’t have a heart attack from everything that came before, watching tony leung and michelle yeoh face off gave me life. i only wish i had more

- that being said, the idea of family is so entrenched in the story and in our culture. shang chi calling katy’s mom and grandma aunty and grandma? that’s what we do. i may not be related to my friend’s parents but they’re all aunty uncle grandpa grandma to me we’re just a huge extended family

- the need for xialing to prove herself? not being allowed to train but learning and doing it better. the chinese patriarchy is so strong i can scream but she’s proven that she’s up there with everyone else 

- also hello at jon jon yelling ‘wakao’ the min the doors open cause i swear like that almost everyday in my life i see you SEAsian ronny chieng

- i nearly hurt myself laughing at wenwu explaining iron man 2′s fiasco at appropriating the ten rings and mandarin name. it just reminds me of how much white people don’t understand the chinese tattoos they get something. a good resolution and a humorous approach to it
