I have still no idea what you are trying to say. You are flip flopping between film and comics, between what is or isn't defined as superpowers, excluding tech to meet a confusing conclusion, and all the time not giving anything to back up your statement that a film with a Black lead and a film with an Asian lead - in a franchise of 20 plus films with a white lead - is proof of Disney's anti-European political agenda!

Just be honest and say YOU do not want to see films with a black or Asian lead. You are obviously not a fan of comic books and their adaptations because if you were you'd be happy to see these on screen (unless of course you ONLY like white comic book characters). So the simple solution, don't watch the films, and don't try and create some fucked up justification as to why they shouldn't be made.

Shang-Chi has no super powers nor does he rely on any kind of tool mechanisms for his very survival.

He's a natural hero. You cannot find a white character in Marvel (or DC either) that is the same.

They always have science or some kind of magical assistance and usually because they are flawed.

So you can find no comparison in Marvel or DC? Here's an idea..maybe he is a one of a kind. He happens to be asian..so what. Maybe a film is being made because it is different to the majority of other films they made in the franchise rather than "bizarre multicultural propaganda antics". He wasn't created for that purpose...he's been published since the early 70's, had a long print run, was very popular and was made when a deal to adapt the popular TV series Kung-Fu fell through (remember that show...the one when an Asian star was snubbed in favour of a white actor....aaah the good old days)

As for a white hero. Well I did point out Bucky being non powered for over 50 years in the comics but you chose to ignore that

Please point out the flaws in Shang-Chi (or Black Panther).

No idea how he is going to be portrayed in the film. Black Panther? Arrogant, isolationist, vengeful, has daddy issues, stubborn.

I don't care about having asian or black lead characters--it certainly is not new--it's been done for decades in various countries.

It seems you do seeing you think the reason these are being made is some sort of political agenda and made to perhaps alienate "Europeans"

So that isn't the issue-it is that Disney's management has some problem with white characters especially white males.

They find them troubling or scary or something.

Yeah, because there is nothing worse than seeing a film where characters have flaws or frailties!! It's so much more interesting when they are perfect examples of humanity isn't it

I don't know their thinking and I don't want to know.

Really? You seem to think you know: "Disney does not want to make films for Europeans like they used to", "There's a million stories they can tell to attract European audiences but that violates their political ideology", "It is part of the bizarre multicultural propaganda antics"

Marvel didn't make the gatekeeper as Asgard black or Nick Fury black by accident.

Heimdall didn't need to be black...neither did he need to be white. Asgard in Marvel is not populated by Scandinavians...it is a planetery body in space, a few Asgardians visited Earth (Norway) in the past and they were seen as Gods. Earth created the blonde/white look based on who visited. Why shouldn't the place have people that look like they are from different races, much like Earth (and other planets).

Why was Perry White black in Man Of Steel, Deadshot black in Suicide Squad, Harvey Dent Black in Batman? Do Warner's have some secret agenda as well?

Nick Fury? He was black for many years in the comics and his likeness was based on Sanuel L Jackson...so why not get Jackson to portray him? I'm sure Disney considered Samuel L Jackson to play Fury to promote their bizarre multicultural propaganda antics, rather than the fact that a version of the character was based on him.

EDIT: I just remembered... Disney didn't own Marvel when Thor and Incredible Hulk were made. Disney had fuck all to do with the casting of those characters. So I guess they weren't applying Disney's bizarre multicultural propaganda antics.
