I'm Asian-American. I'd like some wisdom, /co/. Why do I not care that this happening?
Why do I kind of dislike that this is happening?
I'm all for Asians getting more representation in capeshit, but for whatever reason, seeing this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Marvel is so fucking progressive.

>>89053419
Because it's so far removed from traditional redneck tier racism that it swings all the way back around and becomes a nu wave progressive form of racism. It's the same old dehumanizing shit, just repackaged and flavored differently

Because they're still being treated as 'the other.' Only now they're secluded in their own comic as a matter of joyous representation.
>>
>>89053419

i dunno but it's the same creative team the book has always had right? so just role with it
>>
>>89053455
Honestly, it feels like a containment book that Marvel can point to later for proof of their "progressiveness"
>>
>>89053419
Probably for the same reason why I don't give a shit about Riri or Moon Girl in spite of being African America. Pandering of that nature is more annoying than endearing

I think you guys don't know what that means. It's just a superficial attention grab, plus I'm sure somebody finds the dragons in the background offensive since they aren't all the same type of Asian.
>>
Same reason all Marvel pandering doesn't work, because its too damn on the nose.

Instead of advertising hero who happens to be black but his story is the most important part and its a good story, instead they advertise it as BLACK hero "tune in as the first ever BLACK hero BLACK, takes the mantle from other hero and becomes the totally new and unique BLACK version of this former hero".

Generally the more on the nose they get with pandering the more people hate it, and Marvel will never understand what subtlety is supposed to be. Hell they've had black heroes, asian heroes, female heroes, and any type of hero for ages now. Yet they're wondering why people are suddenly complaining about the new ones "You're just sexist since you hate FEMALE thor" instead of realizing there's a huge difference with how they're marketing this shit?

Lot of people remembered Static Shock, because they didn't shove the pandering up your ass constantly. He was black but they weren't marketing it as though that's all he was, or that was the main appeal here, in order to appeal to Tumblr.

Its not that the idea itself can't work, its that they fuck it in how they keep doing it lately.
>>
>>89053419

It's good that characters from other backgrounds can get their own books.

The problem is when the fact they exist is the sole thing they promote and the only reason they came to be and there is no other larger story to be told.
>>
>>89053448
Fucking barbarians stole it.

>>89053419
Because you're not a bigot who judges shit based on how much they look like you, and the concept and characters aren't exactly a killer sale?
>>
Uncre Tsong
Maybe a mild fear that it's just kind of using you for marketing. Or it's disingenuous and you might somehow be missing out on the right way to do this.
Don't worry, it is. It all is. Companies never really cared about anyone. We were always just money to them. But if it's entertaining atleast it'll be a fun read
>>89053588
Koreans have Dragons right? Kamala can fuck off though.
>>
It's because writers are so big on representation that they make a story around it with no thought of who the characters are or back story, or even culture differences.

Like how every black superhero suddenly cared about War Machine dying. Like War Machine never interacted with anyone of them that much but now Storm cares? Hell women characters are often all best friends with each other, like seriosly they all are quirky progressive bores who share a hive mind. I find the New Fantastic Four story in ghost rider more believable because it's a joke!
>>
>>89053629
>Don't worry, it is. It all is. Companies never really cared about anyone.
If that was true then they'd be better at getting money out of me already by telling the stories I want to hear, instead of being shit at it.

They are clearly just desperate to boost Chulk, Silk, and Kamala's sales.

>asians teaming up just because they're asian.

Why do progressives always think that just because people share the same race, it means they'll like each other regardless of their differences in ethnicities?

Like, South Koreans and Japanese people have quite a dislike of each other and just really do not get along. The only reason that the two countries are on good terms is because they can't fight each other without China swooping in to take them both out.
>>
And here is our black book!
Can't have Luke Cage and Misty Knight hang out with Iron Fist!
Instead tune in for their team up with Storm, Black Panther, Black Captain America, and Black Spider-man!
>>
>>89053419
they have to catch up because the biggest profile Asian heroes up to now have all been white
>Psylocke's stupid as fuck origin
>Iron Fist is white
>All the characters with ties to Japanese culture, like Daredevil (Irish American), Wolverine (Canadian American), Elektra (Greek) all come from Europe

Nobody gave a fuck about Shang Chi for the longest time. He was solid D-list. Who else did they even have before Silk and Chulk? Sunfire?

Because ultimately, they aren't asian super heroes. By which I mean they don't exist in the archetype of what Japan or China consider their Superheroes to be.

They are American heroes flavored to be asian.
They aren't anything unique to the world of comics beyond their race. Their power sets aren't unique and styled in a way that's different. It's Generic Diversity. "We're a team because we asian."

they could use Quake, right? She's mixed, I think. Or at least she is on the show. I don't remember if any comic confirmed her ethnicity. I'm surprised they haven't done anything with a Madripoorian hero. It would count, at least.

Is Cho Hulk actually good? I feel like it shits all over Cho's character.

If Marvel really wanted to push an Asian character, it definitely should've been Cho because he's based. But it should've been Cho as he's always been, a genius with no powers. They could've had a really cool book where Amadeus solves crimes/problems just by using his brain; it could've been different from the usual cape book, while still being fun & showcasing a great Asian character.

But Marvel had to be half assed (like the majority of these legacy heroes besides Kamala & Robbie) & shove Hulk onto Amadeus because they're afraid it won't sell if it doesn't have a brand name attached to it. Marvel's race pandering is so fucking half-assed, it's infuriating. I'd have no problem with this shit if all the new minority characters were NEW, not just different colors slapped on old heroes.

It's like that super special issue of Sam Wilson (I refuse to call him Captain America when Steve is alive), where all the black characters gathered to remember the death of Rhodey. Because he's black. And because they're black. So of course you have to segregate a wake in this manner. Out of "respect" for the race.

Segregation has revitalized itself in everyday life, by disguising itself as racial diversity and acceptance.

Look at this page. Nick Fury Jr doesn't even know any of these people. He blatantly says he's new. Which he is. He was literally retconned into existence for movie synergy purposes. But despite this, he "belongs" with the rest of them. Because he knew Rhodey personally? No. Because he's black. Note that this was written by Nick Spencer, a white numale.

Kamala is Pakistani, which is located in South Asia. But it's clear she's only there because she's the most popular Asian character Marvel has right now.

>>89054905
do they all have each other on speed dial or what

Reminder that Amadeus' original powers was to be an Asian kid that's REALLY good at math.
>>
>>89053419
because like other people have posted, its still 'the other' or just generally still separate

representation is only 1 part, the rest of it is being treated as normally as any other characters, which usually means not having them team up for no reason other than race
>>
>>89054979
Yep.Because they're all part of the SECRET black hero community. I mean, fuck, they had BLADE on their speeddial!

This is just marvel writing horrible shit.

Is this an american thing? All people whith asian roots feeling a connection, no matter from where in asian their parents or ancestors came?
Because that's quite odd. Chinese-american, japanese-american, korean-american getting together, I get it. Even though China, Japan and Korea hate each other, they are close, ethnically and culturally.
But asian-americans from Pakistan? Ethnically, they are closer to europeans. And culturally, I don't see what they have in common with east-asia people,
>>

Atleast he got Blade's character right.

my real issue is that they draw black people all in the same way, if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick out the differences in T'Challa and Sam Wilson's faces you'd have my brain on your wall. Plus Miles is the same, but shorter.

The Illuminati used to be the big movers and shakers. Xavier, Reed, Strange, Stark, Tchalla, and the rest?

Usually, big guys capable of big things.

At the time of the original Illuminati, there wasnt just enough enough high powered black super powered.

Marvel's added a few big mover black guys since then, but none of them have caught on.

See, I'm Hispanic, and I think that's the real creepy, insidious threat.

>>89055187
See, I wouldn't mind if ANY group of heroes got together and one or two were Latinos. But so few of them are cool, you know? GR Robbie's cool, and sure, the new Nova's great, and he's latino, too, and they dont push latino culture too hard...

I'm Hispanic too, and I think you're a fucking retard. I don't want a specific team of Hispanic superheroes who look and talk like me. I read comics for escapism, not to be reminded of today's social politics, and I don't have expectations of opening a book and finding a mirror image of myself in the pages. Fuck that. I don't want to be "represented". I want to read a good fucking comic.

>They aren't anything unique to the world of comics beyond their race.
That's exactly how it should be for American Superheroes. Remember the shit show of "Chinese superheroine whose superpower is constantly giving birth to rapidly aging superhumans?" That shit's just dumb. If they're going to be adding to the world of the comics, then it should be through good stories or interesting powers/circumstances like other good heroes, not "lol make him turn into a dragon."

All New, All Asian arc is still dumb because of what's been mentioned in this thread, but most Asian superheroes have been trash when people make the mistake of making them "Asian Themed" in some retarded attempt to try and make them interesting in any way but the one that works.

Well I think you're a fucking faggot. Why do you think all Hispanics look alike? Or talk alike? Not all Hispanics or Hispanic characters are stereotypes. Look at the difference between Power Man, White Tiger, Robbie Reyes, Hummingbird and Goldballs. They all look and act differently. And what the fuck does having a team of Latinos have to do with social politics? Is having a team of Caucasian people social politics?

This genuinely sounds like a /pol/-tier Caucasian false flagging as a Hispanic. If so, go fuck yourself. If you are Hispanic you're a fucking Uncle Tom. And again, go fuck yourself.

I think ultra SJW shit is stupid. However, I don't know about you but, I have white friends and asian friends and black friends and Hispanic friends. There are times in my life where I got along best with the other Hispanic guys in my program/job and hung out with them. I don't think that's isolationist or being in a safe space. It's just a thing that happens. I don't see why that wouldn't happen with superheroes too. You connect with people in different ways and sometimes a way that people connect is through having similar cultures/upbringings. That's not a totally exclusive thing for minorities. Everyone does it.

If I were to select a team I'd pick:
Robbie
White Tiger
Aracely
Miss America
Power Man
Miles

They're all Hispanic and all interesting and different from one another. Miles' Puerto Rican roots haven't really been explored yet so this'd be a way to do that hypothetically. But really I wish there were more cool male Hispanic characters that weren't killed off. It happens so much it's stupid.

Blue Marvel is an amazing character and you need to get over your shit and get on board. Ewing has been dropping nothing but gold with this guy for the last few years now. One of the most consistently well-written new-ish characters Marvel has.

And FYI, you're thinking of a recent Black Panther issue where T'Challa called in black heroes from across the world to help him in Wakanda because his people are racist and he'd get less shit for it than if he brought in his white illuminati and avengers buddies.

The crossover of the decade!
Kamala's parents, Miles' parents, and Sam's mom get kidnapped by Hydra or brought in by SHIELD or hit by some magical whammy because of something their kids got up to. Jefferson and Eva have to rally the parents and survive while protecting their children's secrets. It basically writes itself.

Let me guess, these asians are limited to Japanese and Chinese.

How right was I?

Where the fuck are the other "Asians"? Stop using me as a shield, marvel.

Mostly Chinese and Japanese, rounded up by two Koreans and a Pakistani.

Nobody really gives a shit about the rest of Asia besides India, and Vietnam (and that's only if the story involves the war).

Reminds me of Khan's first episode of King of the Hill.

>Where the fuck do the Asian borders stop
>In general terms, Asia is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The western boundary with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. The most commonly accepted boundaries place Asia to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas

Thanks wikipedia

Slott is probably ecstatic.

Meanwhile, Kamala is a little boy.

I think that's because again, you had a scottish dude doing it to reference the one child law because what else do we know about china?

Whereas if the work was put in to make something that was more culturally appropriate we'd get like, a journey to the west fantasy comic, or a super-team of the eight immortals.

If you want to do an asian themed book then maybe you need an asian writer or at least a massive weeb because the old guard of white dudes always tend to do some dumb shit. Like "Hey we have a muslim girl on the x-men right? Let's have her turn into SAND" or Japanese heroes only really being three flavors: ninjas, robots, and nukes.

You have no reason to care about them because none of them are particularly good characters. Cho peaked too early with Incredible Herc and nothing has lived up to that since. Kamala is waaaay overrated because muh brown waifu. Other two are just there.

Kamala is not even of the same race, it's just that her ethnic background is connected to the continent of Asia.
>>
>>89054014
>>89054042
>>89054077
Pakistan is in Asia. Middle East is in Asia.

Kamala is not of "Asian race", however. It's a bit confusing, since Asia has not just one race. Earlier, that race would be distinquished as "Mongoloid", but now it's considered a slur.
>>
>>89058600
You realize there is no good definition of continent and it's all based on hundred year old labels that are virtually meaningless today and the only thing that matters is shared cultures right?

Western Europe = European
Eastern Europe + Russia = Slavic
Turkey + Middle East + Pakistan + North Africa = Arabic
China + Japan + Korea + Vietnam = Asian
India + Sri Lanka + maybe Cambodia and Loas = Indian
All the Nesias (Micro, Poly, etc) = Pacifica
Sub-saharan Africa = African
Mexico + Central/South America = Latino
America = Burgers

Russia's core lands are in Eastern Europe, its Asian territories are bloated colonies that gradually blended with the core empire long ago.

Because when it's all bundled like this it feels like youre being pandered to. And to anyone who isn't a child it's an awkward feeling.

It's the same way as a b/w mix I find myself tired of all the BMWF couplings I see on t.v. Where are my BMAF or BMMEF or AMBF. So sick of BMWF being the "L-Look guys, Diversity!" placeholder in media. I mean Cloak and Dagger are getting their own tv show for fucks sake.
>>
>>89053419
Because the value is implied to be in their Asian heritage rather than their worth as characters, and they're only banding together because they're Asian.

And lumping in Kamala fucking Khan is like including a Brazilian in an "All-American" team.

I've met Pakistanis and man do they hate being called Asian. Normally they'll claim to be Arabic to connect with the Muslim majority and occasionally European for obfuscation. Hell in most of the Muslim areas around my area, being considered Asian is an insult because Indians consider themselves Asian and being classified in the same category as them really pisses of Muslims in general, especially Pakistanis.

Also you should see when a catfight between an Indian Hindi and a Hijabi Warrior Pakistani get into an argument at my college.. It starts of in SJW-like screaming then it gets physical real fast and most teachers/security don't break it up because they fear being called racist, getting sued, and/or losing their job. With this in mind, get ready to see Kamala get shit on by a lot of Pakistanis and possibly sour her identity even more.

See, this is interesting to me, because I'm a librarian in DC and I can tell you, for a fact, progressive white people think black people are literal animals in that they can ONLY care about black things. Look at the children's section of any urban librarian: it's 100% stuff like "Why's My Hair Knappy, Mom?" and "The Night Daddy Went to Jail" or "The Story of Some African Girl Who Saved Her Tribe By Bringing a Pail of Shitty River Water Home" or some garbage. People are fucking RUSHING out to replace anything classical or historical or real with whatever is the latest novel that EXPLORES THE BLACK EXPERIENCE or some garbage. You're seeing it happen at Marvel nonstop, and it's incredibly transparent.

Why aren't we getting more objectively evil minority supervillains? All the eeeeevil people are always white. Look at nuVenom. The second they said, "Hey, we're making a Venom who is actually evil again!" was there anyone who didn't think "white guy"? If there is a Villain of Color (VoC), they've always been forced into it by circumstances or personal tragedy or whatever. But the real, interesting villains are always white guys because those are the only guys allowed to be characters.

>what the fuck does having a team of Latinos have to do with social politics?
Modern day diversity is all about satisfying personal and social agendas. It's not about real representation. It's handing an expired cookie off to the starving minorities and thinking "yeah I did good" It's bullshit. I don't want it.

You're angry because you know that Marvel is playing the race card to try and get you to buy a comic that will only appeal to you for that run and once it's done all the ethnic appeal will return to the Caucasian majority.

They're using YOU for money, not because they want to diversity the Marvel Universe. I sort of think that it was a gimmik to make Amadeus Cho the Hulk anyway. If you want ethnic, then why "Amadeus" of all names for a character.

I'm Filipino and I don't really care if Asian heros or heroines are in a story. I just want a good one, I like white heros and heroines.

The Near East was not originally Asian as we know it today, they were lumped with us for Colonial identification. Hence Kamala being on the cover as well. Take it from my country, some don't consider us Asian as well.

Because you're an American before you're an Asian.
We're just people before we're any sort of biracial pangendered otakukin. Identity politics are a trend for bigots who think they aren't bigotted just because they believe their reasons behind their bigotry are justified.

You know it's funny as fuck when Marvel is dropping its Jap fetish despite the fact that for decades it focused solely on Japanese girls like Jolt, Armor, Surge, Psylocke/Revanche, Lady Deathstrike, Nico Minoru, the new Red Ronin, and Hazmat. Guess they realized people are coming on.

Because it's cheap, lazy and superficial pandering. Which pretty much sums up the vast majority of current Marvel. It's also why we keep getting shit events shoved down our throat every few months. Events and even inclusion of ethnically diverse characters could be awesome if Marvel was willing to actually put some effort into it.
>>

>>89061291
While I don't get the massive hype around the book, it's leaps and bounds better than the lazy shit Marvel keeps shoveling out. At least there's an honest attempt to create a new character with a fleshed out setting and story of it's own rather than using cheap gimmicks to grab the readers' attention.
>>
>>89068805
The hype is only on /co/ unfortunately
I don't know anywhere else that actually praise New Super-Man

It helps that one, Yang is both a good and accomplished writer with a good track record, and two, like you said, New Super-Man is more than a gimmick. If anything, his "forced diversity" is a plot point that is examined
