In 2019, not long after Marvel announced that Canadian actor Simu Liu would be cast in the titular role of Shang Chi, the studio’s first Asian-lead superhero franchise, Chinese social media exploded. While many fans were already rightly concerned about Marvel’s adaptation choice Shang Chi emerged into comics in the 1970s as a reductionist Bruce Lee others reacted against Liu himself. YouTube channel Asian Boss soon after posted a video surveying people on the street in Beijing. They asked passersby to rate Liu’s attractiveness from 1-10. The assumed premise of the segment was that Liu was too ugly to play Shang Chi. The video has since been removed.
