1
What would be the ideal Asian superhero though?
2
If it was like, if this Shang-Chi wasn't happening and like...
3
True, wow.
4
We just build our own ideal character.
5
Yeah, what would be the ideal?
6
Like what characteristics would he have?
7
Because we can't, like, first of all, we can't make him a math...
8
I was going to say really bad at math.
9
Right.
10
Is like the first prerequisite.
11
See, this is a question I always...
12
No, no, we should embrace those.
13
This is a question I always have.
14
Like, you know those stereotypes?
15
Some of the stereotypes aren't, like not all of them are bad, right?
16
Because I always got confused when like, when I was in like elementary school and stuff and kids would come up and they'd be like, dude, you must be great at math.
17
And I'm like, is this guy complimenting me or like, what the fuck?
18
Is this an insult or a compliment?
19
Like I am really good at math.
20
I am really good at math.
21
I mean, like, is he encouraging me?
22
I don't get it.
23
Right.
24
So should we be like we should be embracing some of these stereotypes
25
or should we be doing the exact opposite for representation?
26
I don't get it.
27
Like it's very confusing sometimes.
28
Blurry line.
29
Yeah.
30
The same way that Eric wrote papers on this in high school in college, like one of my capstones was like literally on stereotypes and totalization.
31
Right.
32
And while they are positive stereotypes, like, oh, dude, all Asians are good at math you know they're all very very studious
33
and these aren't bad qualities but it's the fact
34
that you're being lumped in to just a general stereotype that's the that's the problem
35
because everybody wants individual qualities and unique traits and because i'm asian
36
and okay yeah i am good at math believe it
37
or not but that's not the point it's the fact
38
that you're generalizing us okay
39
so we're gonna make this superhero he could be good at math
40
because he's gonna be good at math maybe he's good at math
41
but uh like four questions shy of being great at
42
so average so he's runner up in the world he's not
43
that great yeah he's kind of kind of okay right you know
44
man marvel's got a difficult job
45
because i'm i'm trying to think of like the ideal like
46
asian hero we could have on screen right for our for our kids to like play in like during halloween um
47
but i can't think of any i want i want just
48
like a normal normal ass dude like i want some i want the equivalent of seth rogan what
49
so you want mithra yes you want mithra speaking english i want Mithra speaking English.
50
So all we have to do is teach Mithra English.
51
Right?
52
Pretty much.
53
Yeah.
54
What do you mean normal ass dude?
55
But that's not very superhero-ish.
56
All superheroes start off as outcasts.
57
True.
58
Dude, do you work at Marvel?
59
Just the story.
60
That's great.
61
Okay, so.
62
True.
63
The most anti-Asian Asian is what we have to come up with.
64
The most anti-Asian Asian?
65
Which is why I said, bad at math.
66
Horrible at math.
67
Yes.
68
Looks at a number and just pukes.
69
Has never looked at a dry cleaner's.
70
It's like his kryptonite.
71
It's his kryptonite.
72
Sees a calculator, just immediately vomits green stuff.
73
Right.
74
Okay?
75
Horrible at math.
76
That's where I'm starting from.
77
Like, really bad at math.
78
No martial arts?
79
No martial arts.
80
Super tall.
81
Super tall.
82
Like freakishly tall.
83
Tall to the point where you don't even wonder what his superpower is.
84
Because he's so tall. So tall.
85
Also very good at sports.
86
Very good at sports.
87
Extremely good at sports, especially basketball, which would make sense because he's super tall.
88
Okay.
89
Wait, is Yao Ming our ideal candidate here?
90
Dude, we're getting very close.
91
Is Yao Ming or Jeremy Lin?
92
And I would assume...
93
Too tall?
94
Is that too tall?
95
Seven foot five.
96
What else can he be?
97
What else can he be?
98
He's super tall.
99
No martial arts.
100
Throws up whenever he sees any numbers or equations at all.
101
Right.
102
And also is not in a quartet, right?
103
Super tall.
104
Super good looking he's a tan jacked volleyball player
105
if we're trying to be against all stereotypes he's got to have another trait that I can't really
106
I can't really say
107
he's gotta be a fan
108
that I don't want to be the one to say I don't know what you're talking about you know like
109
if we're going against all stereotypes if that's the
110
for those of you who are listening I don't want you to think that this is the solution.
111
No. We are just trying to first, first of all, create a character that goes against all the stereotypes.
112
All the stereotypes.
113
And then at the end of this journey, we will decide whether this is the right way to go.
114
But I'm saying there is one stereotype.
115
What stereotype?
116
That I, that, you know what I mean?
117
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
118
He's got to have a trait.
119
Yeah.
120
Is his emotional trait?
121
I think it will go hand in hand with his height.
122
Right.
123
It would make sense.
124
Like proportional size.
125
Big shoes.
126
Undeniable.
127
People just kneel down in his presence just...
128
What?
129
He's just too powerful.
130
I don't know what you're talking about.
131
I don't know what you're talking about, Eddie, but I get it.
132
Is that what you're trying to say?
133
We're talking about how good he is of a driver, right?
134
Yeah.
135
Yo, I didn't make this stereotype.
136
Okay.
137
I'm just trying to great driver.
138
Why?
139
Wait, wait.
140
That's called fast enough.
141
Yo, street racing is a stereotype.
142
Yeah.
143
OK, like our souped up, you know, what do they call us rice burners or whatever
144
sounds delicious i got a story about these rice rockets okay
145
in college um i was in the bay area right like i was at stanford
146
and we didn't have any of um these rice rockets okay Like it was the, it's the Bay Area.
147
Like not many people do that.
148
Right.
149
Okay.
150
Um, and we didn't have like, so the typical Asian at the time,
151
the stereotypical Asian at the time were like rice rockets and like baggy jeans and like, Oh, like, uh, you know, you know, that look, that fast and furious kind of vibe.
152
And, um, my friend that was living in LA was going to drive up
153
to visit me on campus and dude showed up in a honda civic
154
that was like super souped up with like rave lights
155
and glow sticks like all over the place
156
and he rolled up on campus like in front of my dorm oh no
157
and i was with all my friends
158
and i'm like i have been i've been prepping them like my friend from LA is coming
159
and just stereotype the crap out of us.
160
Dude, it looked like a, it looked like a, it looked like Gundam.
161
It looked like ready to like turn into a robot in a transformer, just ready to go.
162
Just bumblebee in it up.
163
But anyways, so is, is there a stereotype that Asians can't drive?
164
yes yeah definitely there's a series of asian particularly women cannot drive yeah it's like they can't they drive
165
and sex they drive too well
166
and blah blah you know it's you can't be there's just no winning in this situation medium driver he's average
167
so our tall guy our tall guy is a is a
168
sort of like average driver like it's just hates math not too fast not too slow Not too furious.
169
Pretty good driver.
170
Right.
171
Okay.
172
Is there anything else that we have to like Go against Does not go to Ivy League.
173
Yeah, he doesn't study doesn't study at all.
174
He doesn't go to Ivy League.
175
He really doesn't study Doesn't go to college.
176
Yeah, I don't like books Has never taken the SATs or the PSA.
177
But he's not stupid.
178
He's street smart.
179
He's just easy.
180
Yeah He's street smart naturally smart.
181
Yeah, naturally smart dude But he it's not because he's been reading the botanical.
182
He doesn't apply himself.
183
Okay.
184
Did his parents struggle?
185
Like did his parents struggle for his sake?
186
Did they sacrifice their youth?
187
That was my question.
188
So I mentioned dry cleaners earlier, right?
189
Do we want to include or not include the dry cleaners?
190
I feel like that is a very integral part of Asian culture.
191
Because assuming we go with the stereotype, the laundromat would become like his base of operations, right?
192
Like, it would be like his bat cave where he goes into one of the dryers
193
and it's a tunnel that goes Shoots downward
194
and there's a cave underneath where he has all his secret identity stuff
195
But I just you sold me that makes sense to me.
196
It does it does We are creating the monster
197
The best superhero ever we have been trying to go against these stereotypes
198
that we we are creating a monster at the moment This is a monster.
199
Okay, so the laundromat stays.
200
So the laundromat stays because he is our superhero.
201
He is the antithesis of all of our stereotypes, but his parents- Can be stereotypes?
202
Can be stereotypes.
203
So we can, it's a stark contrast to say, this is not just who we are.
204
So are we keeping the backstory of like, you know, like the immigrant, like the typical immigrant family,
205
like parents, you know, struggled and they sacrificed their happiness and like, you know,
206
and for their kid yes and yeah we are yes in
207
that because yeah well see here's two the other option is then it's like it's in asia
208
and they're just very super well off to start with
209
but that's just like that's like crazy rich agents like that's your do your thing
210
and i think they come around because the father role uncle uncle wong
211
uncle wong all right good let's focus here okay okay i was trying to go off of uncle ben Okay.
212
Uncle.. you mean PF Changs?
213
Okay.
214
Uncle Chang gets killed.
215
So the aunt...
216
Aunt May, and this May is MEI.
217
Right.
218
As in Pinin Pinin.
219
Okay.
220
Is it me or in the process of trying to go against stereotypes, have I become a racist?
221
You're a racist, Tablo.
222
Tableau's a racist, guys He's just Really setting his back Have I become racist to my own people?
223
I'm disassociating now Cut all ties
224
So sad to see I'm sorry about the Uncle Wong part
225
I was trying to come up with Our own Uncle Ben You can be Ben I know Uncle Ben I know,
226
but I thought we were keeping the stereotypes for the parents so that he could go against them.
227
I was confused.
228
Here's what I will say.
229
I'm not racist.
230
Questionable.
231

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
