She's definitely not ugly but I don't think she's really hot or cute either.

Well your standards must be pretty high! I think she's stunning.
She became famous in UK after starring in a sci-fi drama called "Humans" in which she played an android. I think this was quite widely exported and she came to Hollywood's notice.
I wouldn't call my standards high, it's just based on what most Cdramas and movies female leads are.
I give her a 6 out of 10
Never heard of her before until recently, but I’ll take your word for it since you’re clearly the #1 fan.
It's not a matter of being "hung up" on anything. Generally people don't consider her attractive. You are right, you don't need to be attractive to be a successful actor/actress, but it generally helps.
In a movie with a predominately Asian cast, there are no white people to outshine. However, what you said doesn't take away from my statement. Ugly and nerdy Asians fulfil a certain Hollywood desire and still meet their need for "diversity".
Of course things can get worse with the media, of course I'm sick of "asian nerds" too, but sometimes you just have to enjoy life, lol.
Iron Man's original origin was also blowing up the Viet Cong, so there's that too.
If you don't trust weibo etc. Maybe you can try a poll in this forum?Yes I've read Weibo and various online chats, and I'm not going to interpret some online comments as the opinion of China as a whole.
For the banning comment, yes that was my mistaken read. However, I still don't think yellow peril was really a thing in the movie. They in fact addressed it directly in the movie.
my wife thinks he's cute, so there.
I suspect that you won't get much different opinions from members (Chinese mainlanders) here than from Weibo.In my opinion, Liu Simu is just an ordinary looking guy who would not have a chance if he was in China EXCEPT for minor roles or special roles.
About the banning, it is totally up to what Chinese in China think, there is no place for argument. "I don't like it, I ban it. I change my mind tomorrow, I let it in." Never argue with or try to prove the customer wrong, that is the only logic.
I would want to point out that there are many average, plain, fat, ugly looking A-list movie stars in China. However, many of them have some sorts of talents. The issue isn't about Simu Liu. The problem is Hollywood wants to stereotype Chinese by using Simu Liu for the role of Asian superhero and make Chinese to accept such stereotype as normal.

I don't see a problem with Simu Liu and he doesn't really fit the "nerdy" asian stereotype. Who would you consider to be a good younger actor for this role?
Shang Chi is a martial art and kung fu master and superhero. Basically, Shang Chi is incarnation of Bruce Lee. Just find someone who looks and acts like Bruce Lee.
Shang Chi and Simu Liu is just another weak and useless stereotyped Chinese that can't stand on his own and can't stand up for injustice.

Donnie Yen is a good Chinese actor but I don't think he would like the role. Donnie is known to be patriotic.
