    Oh, the irony: the very two Marvel films with a direct connection to China are now the ones least likely to pass Chinese censorshiphttps://variety.com/2021/film/news/marvel-shang-chi-eternals-china-release-1234971166/ …

        A recent CCTV6 China Movie Channel report on the Marvel Cinematic Universe aired a list of US release dates for eight of the ten scheduled titles, but conspicuously left out Chloe Zhao's “The Eternals” and “Shang-Chi,” starring Harbin-born Simu Liu, Tony Leung CW, & Michelle Yeohpic.twitter.com/BHJt4NAA5N

        May seem small, but CCTV6 is under the propaganda department, which decides film approvals. A ban on “Eternals” would be shocking but not implausible after the censorship of Zhao's Oscar wins and cancellation of the China release for "Nomadland"

        “Shang-Chi” is under fire for the original's racist Fu Manchu character (fair enough!!). He's been written out, but even in 2019 China Youth Daily warned the film will "face a big challenge”: "Though the Mandarin is not the same person as Fu Manchu, it still is under his shadow."

        Sadly one of the most common complaints is one of the most toxic. Many say Marvel's casting of Simu Liu & Awkwafina as leads is... racist? They're not "beautiful," so choosing them as leads is a sign of deliberate "discrimination against Chinese people’s appearance" (...WOW)

        Eg: “Foreigners just love to deliberately cast Asian actors with squinty eyes," even though many others have double eyelids! The internet's toxic everywhere, but there's still undeniably a v vocal online contingent in China determined to judge actors' merit by their looks :(

        Viewers in Taiwan & Hong Kong also don't seem thrilled yet. Many worried that Asian culture in"Shang-Chi" feels more stereotyped than authentic.

        Olha @prtmfilho, capaz do filme do Shang-Chi e o The Eternals da Chloe Zhao não passarem na China...

        Sim! Interessantíssimo! Aliás, pra quem quer conhecer um pouco mais essas dinâmicas da indústria cinematográfica chinesa, aproveito pra compartilhar a conversa que tive com você e com a turma do @pagodechines sobre o tema:https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Ga3fDtd6pnzKz6BDQQpfe?si=Q35p1aAIRJOOoXCbHgptjg …
