It was pretty cool. Preferred the first half over the second, definitely. It had such a fun portrayal of Asian-American life. The action was obviously great. The acting was incredible. I fell in love with like six different characters so that was cool. Loved the homages to classic asian cinema (and subversion of tropes). Overall, certainly the most fun I’ve had with a marvel movie (same as Spider-Man). Some flaws but overall time well spent.
Have you read legend of condor heroes? It's so freaking good. You have any other recommendations for good books?
I'm not to familiar with the older stuff since I've literally only scratched the surface of the wuxia world, but I've been reading a good wuxia junk food web novel called "Legend of the Great Sage by 说梦者 who says he draws a lot of inspiration from the legend of Condor heroes series and water margin. I've mainly enjoyed it since the author and translator not only do a decent job with the story arcs but also include citations for many of their references so you can learn what shit means when characters say them like when the author references some character in water margin by name you also get a link to see who that is and why they're famously referenced for stuff. Also it helped me learn a bunch of dumb Chinese insults towards Buddhists that would make zero sense to us but the good author includes a simple explanation to understand why you'd call a wandering Buddhist monk a "bald ass"
Sweet I'll check that out now.
