NOTES:

• “In 2020, Shang-Chi starred in a self-titled five issue miniseries written by American Born Chinese author Gene Luen Yang with art by Dike Ruan and Philip Tan. Initially set for a June 2020 release, the first issue was delayed to September due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” -Wikipedia
• Tony Shalhoub is actually doing a parody of David Carradine in Kung Fu in the movie Galaxy Quest “I can’t play an Asian guy. I won’t play an Asian guy. But I will play a guy who plays an Asian guy.” and he is the son of a Lebanese immigrant (I don’t remember if I said that I didn’t know what his ethnicity was, but, bases covered).
• Annette Bening absolutely DOES play Mar-Vell in Captain Marvel, and she’s the avatar of the Kree Supreme Intelligence.
• “The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu” (the first book in Sax Rohmer’s series) was published in 1913. Here is an article about the birth of the character: (It’s giving The Birth of a Nation vibes) http://philsp.com/SaxRohmer/birthof.htm
• Moving Shadow is actually Shang-Chi's half-brother.
• Jodie Landon, the self-proclaimed (and undisputed) ‘Queen of the Negroes’ in Daria is dating Michael Jordan “Mack” Mackenzie, my fourth favorite character on Daria behind Jodie, Mrs. Morgendorffer, and Principal Li.
• I, unfortunately, now know that there’s not a separate word for people who have bug fursonas, but it’s not an unheard of phenomenon. Please direct all questions about furry categorization, furries, or being a furry to askpapabear.com. If you direct them to me, I will tell you to go right to the pits of hell.
• The Peter Parker of Earth-92100 has six arms.
• https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EthnicMagician
• The Five Weapons Society is made up of the House of the Deadly Staff, the House of the Deadly Sabre, the House of the Deadly Dagger, the House of the Deadly Hammer, and the House of the Deadly Hand.
• I was going to verify my statement that the Protector of China was a Makluan and I ended up on the MCU wikipedia page instead by accident, so, you heard it here folks: the Great Protector is in Shang-Chi.
