General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

There's something so relaxing about the Resident Evil games despite their whole premise and being horror. Maybe it's the familiarity but they are such chill games to both watch and play.

Save themes for life

Not sure how thats to controversial, they had already used the Mandarin name in MCU so not sure why they didn't stick with it. Not sure why the Mandarin name would be even bad, unless I'm missing something.

Yeah, they even reference the short Ben Kingsley did where at the end the guy says Mandarin wants his name back. But in this he makes fun of the name as a Chinese food dish and says the actor made it up.

Wholly unnecessary.

I've basically just been listenong to those chill RE music mix playlists on YT recently. I can't get enough of them.

I have fond memories of RE1 because I spent a lot of time hiding in the save room because I knew Hunters were waiting outside.

But but...Manadarin is a lot of things. Its a bureaucratic role from imperial China, a language, an orange, a duck, fishes, vole and some other shit too so like did marvel not actually do research also seems even dumber since they kept the name for the comic character anyways

You don’t have to explain to me I never got confused by his name. I always assumed it was because it represented the culture of the language etc. etc.

I don’t think marvel has a problem with the name since he still using it I think Kevin Feige has a problem with it which is why they’ve been fucking with his character ever since the beginning of the MCU and Iron Man.

You dork. We love you no matter what

I don’t think Feige even would’ve use Mandarin in this film if they hadn’t lost the rights to Shang’s actual dad so he remembered they did that short film to appease the Iron Man three backlash so he usurp the character

I was just ya know, confused as to what they were getting and and voicing what it all was like ya know, not trying to explain it to you, ya know what I mean? I get changing the racist undertones of what he used to ne like but I mean fucking Fergie.

No no no no feel free please I’m just glad that someone besides me gets that there’s nothing wrong with the name either. So I get your confusion, completely.

I’d say the comic books have done a pretty good job of updating his character and so did the movie really well if you’ve seen it so just do all that and keep the name.

Yeah I kept calling him the Mandarin during the movie anyways cause I was explaining him to my daughter. I totally forget they didnt use it. Mandarin and Fin Fang Foom were some of my fav characters when I was kid cause they seemed so cool with their powers.
