Shang-Chi star Simu Liu expands on his Moon Knight comments
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu has expanded on his criticism of the Marvel series Moon Knight . "Alright Arthur Harrow needs to fire his Mandarin teacher," Liu wrote on Twitter about a scene in the show that saw Ethan Hawke's villainous cult leader speaking the language to one of his followers. "I think there's maybe a misconception that Marvel is this kind of monolithic, all-powerful single organism with infinite resources," Liu told GQ , when asked if, in light of the Moon Knight scene, Shang-Chi was a one-off act of representation. "I think that it's easy to allocate the blame to Marvel as a whole. If you really break it down, there was a translator that probably shouldn't have been a translator. There were probably a couple of people in the decision-making process that should have raised a flag that didn't." He continued: "I have full appreciation for the fact that Mandarin is not an easy language. I didn't want to make it into a … [Read more...] about Shang-Chi star Simu Liu expands on his Moon Knight comments

Though it's not uncommon to find a PS5 bundle, up until now all of them have been unofficial retailer-made bundles designed to make consumers spend more money when purchasing the elusive console. But after more than 1.5 years, Sony is releasing the first official PS5 bundle. As spotted by Wario64 , PlayStation Direct has listed PS5 and PS5 Digital editions featuring Horizon Forbidden West.
