MARVEL to create heroes for the Chinese market.

[ygogolak]

That's what I was thinking. That Shang-Chi character. So Marvel could do a 'Shang-Chi Family' title or something. A butler, hacker niece, a party official friend, etc.

 

Don't they already have a Master of Kung Fu book out there as I believe I saw some on the stands when I was at one of the LCS's?

 

Definitely a character that could work nicely as part of the Marvel Netflix group of shows, in the mode of the following fan-made trailer:

 

 

Somebody already plugged him in for a movie on the movie Wikiapedia.... IMDB

They also talked about adding Chinese culture to existing characters. Considering the Amadeus Cho Hulk, this is already happening. I'm going for a Chinese Falcon next.

 

Or the Mandarin wearing the Iron Man armor.

 

 

Amadeus Cho is Korean, not Chinese.

 

Don't they all speak Asiatic?

 

I'm trying to find a clip of a Mets post game show where Ralph Kiner was welcoming the Mets newest pitcher who was Korean. The star of the game- a Japanese pitcher was also on the show. The Korean was struggling with English so Ralph asked the other guy if he could speak to him in Asiatic and then translate for the audience. He simply replied no.

Korean is a different language than Chinese both written and spoken. Much like French and German are different, yet they're European. If you're going to cater to the Chinese market, you need Chinese characters.

Mandarin, Yellow Claw, Fu Manchu, Radioactive Man and Fin Fang Foom

Yes and No.

 

It's good in one sense to have a mirrored reflection of the society you're marketing to with role models and figures that are relateable, but as far as just creating random Chinese characters without good storytelling, that would fail. It's like music and sports, talent transcends color, most of the time.

 

Plus, there's not all Asians are the same and there's sort of a Civil War at times between cultures, with distinct disdain and superiority complexes between the varied Asian ethnicities. So, you're right in the Chinese not caring if The Cho Hulk is Korean and identifying with him Culturally/Ethnically. The general Korean culture with more aggressive attitudes and tendency to have more Western Christian religion is fairly far off the Chinese way of life.

Could you explain that a little more? Never heard of that before.
