So now Amber Heard can count her own money and stop trying to bankrupt Johnny Depp. Or maybe that ‘War of the Roses’ is not about money at all.

Marvel has alternate scenes and subplots to appease China.

From your link:

“current continuity timeline where she’s the chief of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s A.I. Division. Ok, she’s a stereotypical Asian brainiac, but she’s also a devout Muslim so that cancels out the stereotype.”

This article is the same BS that has me foaming at the mouth since 2012.

In this sentence we see the overall message: Marvel is racist because they won’t make asian superhero characters. “Why, Marvel.. Is it because you think that only white men can be heros?” which is followed by “Stereotypical brainiacs. Why, Maurice Mitchell... Is it because you think that all smart people are asian?”

Followed up by my favorite line “But she’s a devout Muslim so that cancels out that stereotype” which really means that she WOULD be a brainiac, were she not a devout muslim. I agree, but it’s clear that Maurice elevates her status as a ridiculous d-list comic book character because of the Muslim status. And the Asian status. God, all racists should be so easy to point out.

I guess DC may be making a comeback at the movies. We’ll see.

No, but Shang-Chi is in development by Marvel Studios.
