During an online discussion this weekend set up by the #SaveDaredevil campaign, Peter Shinkoda, who played Hand leader Nobu on Daredevil's first two seasons on Netflix, said that much of his character's story and development was sidelined because then-Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb thought "nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people.
Loeb, who was released last fall when Marvel TV was officially absorbed into Marvel Studios, after Kevin Feige's promotion to Chief Creative Officer for Marvel, apparently nixed plans to focus more on Nobu and expand upon his relationship with Wai Ching Ho's Madame Gao.

Shinkoda said Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao. This was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners that Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies -- a trilogy called Blade -- where Wesley Snipes kills 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a s***. So dont write about Nobu and Gao. And they were forced to put their storylines down and drop it.

Yeah, I noticed he and Gao, the Yakuza and Gao's workers were all very stereotypical.

Piece of shit if true.

Were there any?

I don't remember a single Asian person in the Wesley Snipes Blade Trilogy of movies.

I was a little suspicious seeing as we have Daisy Johnson, Melinda May, Jiaying, Colleen Wing, and the Minoru family, but I'm guessing Loeb didn't have as much influence over the writing for those shows or the the writers for those shows fought to make those characters compelling.

I would assume that Jeph Loeb doesn't have any influence on other shows in Marvel.

So the head of Marvel TV was only the head of Marvel TV when it suits you.

Lot of people very quick to believe and very quick to try and rewrite reality to fit their accepted narrative here.
