What’s missing here?
Slobber-worthy, blonde stud. Check.
Queen anthem. Check.
Mongo. Check.
Ming. Che- Waitaminute. There it is. Can you tell what’s missing from this picture? Could it perhaps be an…
Elizabethan Collar?*
People, people, people. Ming has a collar that scares people. It is so tall and sharp that if he’s not careful putting on his coat, he could cut off his head. Or at least give himself a good neck shave.
Why do you think he’s bald? He kept shaving off the back of his head. Instead of having to tell his henchmen why the back of his head was always bare, he shaved the whole head.
*It amuses me to think that Ming has to wear that collar so that he won’t chew out the stitches from his recent castration.

You’re just angry the Ming is not bald anymore, aren’t you… A political correct “Ming”-character (I’m not sure why making look like a Nazi is politically correct, but what do I know, I’m german)… makes you wonder what comes next? A PCed serial based on “Birth of A Nation” where all the black people get replaced by cute talking animals or a Doctor Fu Manchu-serial with a 35 year old white, blond, straight, office worker as Dr. Fu Manchu?

Actually no. I’m more upset at the wardrobe choices for Ming. Whether Ming is Asian doesn’t matter to me. What matters to me is that he should look like an 80s drag queen - white, brown, green, or yellow. I’m all for modernizing everyone else in the cast, especially that delicious new Flash, but Ming? Ming has been, is, and must always be over the top.

yes but, no but, yes but… the whole collar thing is part of the asian supervillian, them get the outlandish wardrobes…
(a image that won’t show — and very likely block the whole post)
and “drag queen” villains are totally politically inappropriate and very much opposed by the LGBT community for demonising… and so on blah blah

I totally forgot about that angle.
I guess I don’t mind demonizing the gays as long as they don’t die in the end.

personally I’m not so much bothered when they die, more when they see the wrongs of their ways and reform in the end….
