SHOWVILLE's video: Marvel Star Simu Liu EXPLAINS His Moon Knight Mandarin Criticism

Marvel Star Simu Liu EXPLAINS His Moon Knight Mandarin Criticism.. Welcome back to Film Madness, today on the channel we are going to discuss details about Marvel Star Simu Liu Elaborates On His Moon Knight Mandarin Criticism. Simu Liu, star of Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, elaborates on his criticism of the Mandarin language scenes in Moon Knight. Released earlier this year on Disney+, Moon Knight stars Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant, a mild-mannered museum gift shop employee who comes to realize that he actually possesses the powers of Khonshu, the ancient Egyptian god of the moon. Moon Knight has been a hit with critics and audiences alike, with many praising Isaac's multi-faceted performance as both Steven and Marc Spector, as well as the show's distinct tone, which differs slightly from typical MCU fare. While Moon Knight has proven itself a highlight of the MCU Disney+ shows, it hasn't been entirely free from criticism. After Moon Knight episode 2, "Summon the Suit," Liu took to Twitter to criticize villain Arthur Harrow's (Ethan Hawke) attempt to speak Mandarin. Although Harrow is supposedly fluent in the language, Liu made clear that Hawke's Mandarin needed some work, writing "Harrow needs to fire his Mandarin teacher." While he was critical of the show's depiction of Mandarin, Liu is evidently still a fan of Moon Knight as a whole, later calling the show "awesome." In a new interview with GQ, Liu elaborated on his criticism of the Mandarin in Moon Knight and attempts to explain how the blunder could have occurred. Liu reveals that, while Mandarin is not an easy language to get right, the translator working on the show "probably shouldn't have been a translator," and several people in the decision-making process should have recognized this.
