And why is there finally a show adaptation on Disney+ when the original graphic novel came out like 16+ years ago? Seriously the graphic novel is insufferable.

It's loosely inspired by his legend and JttW, but it isn't really him. At least in the novel it wasn't.

My guess is it absolutely crushed in the Chinese test markets, and then that thing happens in cartoons where Disneys eyes roll back in their head, revealing dollar signs.

Wife wanted to try it and knew nothing about it, the show wasn't bad, wasn't great.

The cousin was the most memorable for me because the experience was a slap in the face. It was so common for Asian Americans to distance themselves from Asians that just immigrated here out of embarrassment. I did it myself ashamedly.

Im also waiting for an explanation of why you find it bad. Reasonable critiques are always welcome.
