Asian men can't even shine in Bruce Lee's Biopic

[sfy]

Good grief. This is shameful.

Wtf? Bruce Lee is fascinating all on his own, what's the need for the white dude in the story?

[meshaliuknits]

What the fuck people. WHAT THE FUCK.

Not even surprised. I bet the same folks upset about Luke Cage have zero issues with this nonsense.

This sounds like a horrible movie. Bruce Lee had such an interesting life and that alone can take up more than a 2 hour movie. I hope no one sees this movie and they learn their lesson by losing $ since that's the only thing that matters in Hollywood.

Must everything need a white person to legitimize it.Tired of the bs,Hollywood.

I saw the trailer about a week ago and just laughed and laughed and laughed.

Go fuck yourself, Hollywood.

Wait what?! I would have totally watched this IF it were actually about Bruce Lee and his life. I'm not going to see him as the sidekick.

The Luke Cage mess is getting on my last nerve. Some dude tweeted about how he couldn't make it through 20 min because the show wasn't diverse. I was like, dude. First, there was (at least) a Latino man and a white woman in the first 20 min, so this is factually inaccurate. If you get to the halfway mark most of the police officers on the scene were white. Just like real life. Second, welcome to our world. 90210 and Friends aren't exactly standard bearers of diversity.

Same with Zendeya being cast as Mary Jane kerfuffle. If you think red hair and white skin are Mary Jane's defining characteristics you need to go back and reread Spiderman. Mary Jane is popular, a model, a good friend and free and easy about her romantic relationships. If red hair is your complaint, you need to shut up.



Let me stop before I have a nerd stroke.

Just showing it's not just me.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ lack of diversity. I can't breathe.

[meshaliuknits]

I find myself unable to let this go. Possibly because there are still people just starting Luke Cage.

I haven't seen anyone defending the Bruce Lee bull, so I guess that's something.
