Ughhhh so I just watched the trailer for marvel's what if even though I never really liked the show and ugh

Am I justified in feeling iffy that they took Shang-Chi, the one character whose powers and story are fundamentally tied to his Chinese/east Asian roots, roots that I share

And made him a cowboy? Something distinctly Western?

#marvel #mcu #what if #what if season 3 #like i dont think any other character has their powers or position tied to their cultural identity so deeply #and i was happy to see my culture being represented in a franchise as nig as the mcu #but then they made him...white...in the mainstream media sense #and i dont feel good about that #am i being oversensitive #like i know that the whole time is these are alternate universes #but still #mcu thoughts
