I saw #KarateKidLegends yesterday, and while it was a little bumpy, I enjoyed the film, even with the bits of fan service. The story didn't go quite where I expected in the first half, but I guess they needed a reason for the rest of the story.
The story is a bit splintered in parts, but it's the performances that make the film worth watching.
I really like #BenWang, who I enjoyed watching in #AmericanBornChinese , and he's very likable and engaging in this role. #KarateKid 1/3

Started watching #AmericanBornChinese because it had Michelle Yeoh; it turned out to be pretty good in other ways too. A nice, cozy ancient mythology/modern high school life blend with fun over-the-top action every now and then.
I recently saw Disney's #AmericanBornChinese & Netflix's #TheBrothersSun. Let me just say --
OMG. The #ChineseAmerican representation is AMAZING!! Seeing familiar cross-cultural parent-child dynamics, characters speaking #Mandarin & eating tomatoes stir-fried with scrambled eggs, all in mainstream pop culture entertainment?!
Teenage me never even imagined how validating & comforting seeing pieces of myself on TV could be. So glad kids today are growing up with it.

We got Disney+ for #DoctorWho but I’m so glad others on the fediverse were talking up #AmericanBornChinese. Based on those posts, when we saw the listing we took the chance and decided to watch. It was just an excellent story!
One of the things I’m loving about #AmericanBornChinese is, despite a brief familiarity with the legend of Sun Wukong’s journey, I have no idea where this story is going. We’re 6 episodes in and I thought I figured out the necklace — finally an obvious trope! Only it wasn’t and I was wrong. Sandy’s gender-swapped? Mind blown 🤯 And the sitcom side story still has me completely perplexed! So many surprises to the writing and I’m delighted by every one
We recently started #AmericanBornChinese and having heard some of the #MonkeyKing saga from the podcast #MythsandLegends I was so excited when Pigsy showed up!
The only thing better was when Michelle Yeoh showed up (I’m a #StarTrek fan too)
"American Born Chinese" is suffused with sadness, from the story to the script to the acting to the setting and lighting. On the one hand, I can appreciate the integrity with its overall themes; but on the other, I can't help but feel a certain heavy-handed artificiality and flatness. Still, it's managed to hold my attention and made me want to write about it some more.

We finished watching 'American Born Chinese' on Disney+ tonight and it was a very delightful show. I was impressed with how many various stories they wove together, but you still felt satisfied with all of them and the characters. It was heartfelt and funny and had some really good action sequences. I hope they bring it back for a second season. I feel I should check out the comic now.

I really enjoyed #AmericanBornChinese. I’m a fan of the #stories of the #JourneyToTheWest, and really enjoyed this, in spite of the fact that I approached the #miniseries with appreciation
I would love to see more!

“Kiss Me Goodbye,” Tracey Baptiste 🇮🇳🇹🇹: fun, free short story. Gods possess the bodies of desi-Am high-school kids, replaying an eternal love triangle. It’s “#AmericanGods” × “#NeverHaveIEver” × “#AmericanBornChinese.”
#AmericanBornChinese is both confusing and interesting. A lot of practical effects mixed with that I’m going to assume a lot of mythology.
