I don't expect Asian heroes in an Iron Man film (though there's no reason there couldn't be Asian secondary characters, or for that matter Tony himself could very plausibly be East or South Asian). Which is why I'm saying it's a problem for me that the would make the villains Asian (as they already have once). It reinforces negative stereotypes, and is not, I find, especially interesting. I realise in the movies everything has been done before, but if they're going to pick something unoriginal, I'd rather it wasn't as strongly Yellow Peril.

I would love to see those other shows or films. I'm not holding my breath though. Until then, I'd prefer that the main franchise not get any worse about race than it already is.
