There was three previous Marvel movies — a trilogy call Blade — where Wesley Snipes vote down 200 Asians each movie ; nobody give a shit , so do n’t drop a line about Nobu and Gao , ’ and they were forced to put their plot line down and drop it . ”
Shinkoda ’s accusation againstLoebare particularly chafe given how temerarious was often a serial in which a lily-white hero squared off against hordes of often faceless and nameless adversaries of Asiatic descent who were all literally members of an malefic cult of ninjas who idolise a demon .
