Ah, sorry for the late response, I almost completely missed your comment!
Of course, different people want different things from their entertainment. I personally follow American films / comics because they satisfy my craving for SFF, not something my local media output does very well. I like the Mandarin and the story-lines he embodies, and I admit, that might not be true of everyone.
When I'm watching Iron Man, I'm not really watching it to see Asian heroes on the screen. I'm looking forward to see what comes of the proposed Daughters of the Dragon and Heroes for Hire (making Danny half Kun-Lun'ian(?!) could be pretty awesome) thingie, and the planned Shang-Chi movie, (no Brown Guys still, though :/) but till then a competent and charismatic Mandarin is also fine with me.
Thanks for engaging. :) This really went everywhere. :/
