I think that China has different standard when it comes to Hollywood stars. They are not supposed to look ordinary and that extends to first Asian SH. 

 

He's not ugly, just regular. I wouldn't call Cap, Thor, Killmonger, Aquaman,etc regular.

Please. How is China going to have higher standards for Hollywood stars than its own male stars?? Lol Overall, I would say that Asian actresses are hotter than the men. 

 

You keep naming Killmonger but MBJ was not the lead. And I personally don't think he is all that good looking but he got a lot of attention for his portrayal of the character, not his looks. Same when Chadwick first showed in CW as T'Challa. The performance is ultimately what will matter and if Simu is good, more attention will follow.

This conversation is a funny to me. Liu is not worse looking than Holland, Boseman, Pratt and certainly not Cumberbatch. And none of those dudes are hurting for female attention.

 

And even if we're going by global asian action stars, its not like young Jackie, Jet li, Donnie Yen, Chow Yun Fat etc were Calvin Klein models

 

I don't know wtf kinda 'standards' we're talking about here.

Wait, what?? I'm Asian and I think Liu is very handsome. He's as good looking as Hemsworth, MBJ, Momoa, and other male MCU/DCEU actors. Definitely not regular.

 

Honestly, I find this whole discussion absurd, especially about how Liu doesn't meet this so-called "standard".

Simu's definitely better looking than Kumail Nanjiani who looks like he's smelling shit 24-7. That's why he's the lead and Kumail is third banana to Madden, Jolie, Chen.

 

And better looking than Cucumber lol. I don't think he would be a lead SH without the word Strange.

I find this discussion hilarious considering Benedict Cumberbatch is an MCU star. 

benedict cumberbatch is a sex symbol though. I don't know how he has achieved it but he has a MASSIVE female following in the UK at least and has for quite a few years.

So I guess Martin Freeman is a sex symbol too? Lol Not denying Cumberbatch's popularity but among the general audience and media, I don't think he's a sex symbol.

Jet Li was gorgeous to be fair.

Chow Yun-fat was like an Asian Delon or Mastroianni.

Thanks but this doesn't change anything I said. Take a general poll and Cumberbatch would struggle to rate even among MCU actors. He's rarely ever mentioned among the likes of Evans, Hemsworth or even Pratt. Hell, Holland would probably rate higher these days.
