I wouldn't press/argue this point too strongly, but would mention that (IMO) the history of Asian representation in Marvel comics – as opposed to recent controversies involving the movies – is more slightly complex than implied in that HuffPo piece, or the Gizmodo article linked therein (cf. Shang-Chi, for starters).

...But point totally taken that it's *today's* Marvel that is both pulling the tone-deaf movie moves, and apparently shrugging its shoulders at this guy's appalling history.
