That's it. I don't need nor want to hide behind socially-acceptable criticisms just so that the bottom feeders of the internet play-pretend that those are somehow more acceptable than the truth.
Having a movie with third tier characters from any ethnic background is cool; but giving a finger to the fans and virtue signaling is nonsense. That's just my perspective though - I mean if the deep cut characters aren't interesting to someone on their own merits, that's fine too.

Literally the first few reviews just went on and on gushing about first Asian this and representation that but no mention of what the movie is actually about or if it was good or bad.
Like literally the only thing that matters is 'first Asian hero's while Bruce and Brandon Lee laugh from their graves.
