Is Natalie Portman going to be like...CGI'd to hell as Thor?

I've seen absolutely no pics of her bulked up or training or anything.

I wonder how much money Disney is budgeting to lose on the coming Thor: Thundering Virtue Signal

You’d think with a penny pincher like Chapek at the helm, they’d’ve cut off the whole Woke thing once they started realizing it would lose them money.

That said, worst case it gets dumped on D+, and we all just wait a month or pirate it. Not like that’d stop consoomers

I mean it will realistically make a very decent profit since Thor is one of the few MCU characters that people genuinely look forward too. If it was like another situation where it was the black Iron man girl getting the film treatment, I can see it bombing, but it's really not likely for Thor.
 
Simu Liu: Ethan Hawke’s ‘Moon Knight’ Character Needs to ‘Fire His Mandarin Teacher’ (Archive)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may be slipping on its Mandarin.

MCU star Simu Liu, who led “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” took to social media to criticize the pronunciation in Disney+ series “Moon Knight.”

The star of the upcoming “Barbie” film tweeted, “Alright Arthur Harrow needs to fire his Mandarin teacher” after the latest episode included Ethan Hawke’s character Arthur speaking Mandarin to one of his cult followers, played by Miriam Nyarko. (See the tweet below.)

Liu’s Twitter followers agreed, with one fan commenting, “YES. EXACTLY. @MarvelStudios what happened here? What is this?? For those wondering, there were ZERO Mandarin/Chinese words spoken.”

Another user wrote, “As someone who has been studying Mandarin for a good while, I was incredibly confused watching that scene. That wasn’t Mandarin, which is weird, because the MCU did a good job with Mandarin in Shang-Chi.”

A fan noted, “Well I think they did a good job with ‘Shang Chi’ because there’s Chinese/Asian actors there who actually speak the language and likely wasn’t taught the day of on-set or something.”

Another “Moon Knight” viewer clarified, “Simu Liu isn’t making fun of Ethan Hawke for trying, he’s saying that he needs a better instructor.”

“Moon Knight” director Mohamed Diab has spoken out about the inaccurate portrayals of international cultures onscreen in American productions, namely his native Egypt. Diab criticized the DC film “Wonder Woman 1984” for being a “disgrace” to Egyptians. “Egypt looked like a country from the Middle Ages. It looked like the desert,” Diab previously said of portraying the culture as “exotic” onscreen. “We call it orientalism. It dehumanizes us.”

Diab added, “There was definitely room to play [in ‘Moon Knight’] but keep it as authentic as possible, in the realm of being fantastical. Even in the original comic books, they did a great job of researching and trying to make Egypt authentic.”

Now, the criticism of the botched Mandarin in “Moon Knight” is raising more questions about the authenticity onscreen.

Liu admitted to Vanity Fair earlier this year that as an Asian-American actor, he is “bombarded” with questions of representation. “I was not an Asian studies major. Nothing prepared me,” Liu said of his “Shang-Chi” fame. “What I wasn’t prepared for was backlash from within, for people to say, ‘He’s not our representative.’ Even if there are only a couple of people saying it, it always hurts.”

Congrats Simu Liu you did it. You overthrow Mark Ruffalo and Chris Evans as being the most annoying MCU actor on Twitter.

I love how in all this talk of "cultural appropriation" bullshit, he conveniently forgets that his only other famous role is a Chinese man playing the Korean guy, who's the equivalent of being a ghetto nigger if you know about his character.

Also is it me or is the MCU going to his head. I'm seeing levels that I hadn't seen in even Brie Larson.

Just because the show is called 'Moon Knight' doesn't mean that anybody needs to start giving a shit about moon runes.
