The socialism of Marvel editor Jordan White
Marvel's got an editor named Jordan White who disliked the wealth factor in this season's huge movie success, Crazy Rich Asians, based on the novel by Kevin Kwan. He said:
"Fine" and "cute" both sound like he's trying to come up with the mildest forms of praise possible, so in order not to overly contradict his positions on socialism. And yet he's working at a company where he's making money as an editor! So his stand is contradictory all the same, and, IMHO, unfair to Asians in successful positions. Tsk tsk tsk.
The film's already proven a remarkable success for one with a cast of nearly %100 Asian background, and still doing very well last time I checked the box office news, with over $150 million domestically. And I'll bet another reason why Marvel staffers like White don't like it is because it's not "woke". For all we know, he's surely not the only Marvel employee who detests the positive view of wealth in the movie, so why'd they want to go? The chances are high the two sequel books will be adapted as well, and I'll try to see them if and when filmed, but if people like White can't appreciate capitalism, I can't help feel amused they'd actually attend. This could explain why they have such a problem with Spider-Man becoming a success and being married to Mary Jane Watson.
I didn’t put my thumb up because my socialist heart spent the entire movie furious at just HOW crazy rich they were. But the movie was fine and the romance was cute.— Jordan D. White (@cracksh0t) August 28, 2018

White should move to a socialist country. Like Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea.
