Lucy Liu in the Iron Woman film trilogy

The hero you call Iron Man does not exist. I am Iron Woman.

Back when I was a big fan of the MCU, I recast the white dude heroes as women of color. Someone brought back the Lucy Liu one, and I thought I’d make something a little more polished than the original.

Watch!: And when you started out, there were almost no Asian-Americans on TV. Now you’re Watson. The TV my Asian-American daughter grows up watching will be very different than what I grew up watching.
Lucy: It is significant, and I think we still have a long way to go. It is good that you’ll have to explain to her that when Daddy was a teenager, there wasn’t anybody like her on television. People say I’m a pioneer, but I don’t recognize it because I’m still living it. Maybe on my last breath if they name a street after me in the city, I’ll say, “Wow, I made a difference.” Right now, it doesn’t feel like it. [x]

Lucy Liu in the October 2013 edition of Watch! Magazine

That moment when Lucy Liu shut down Hollywood patting itself on the back for racial progress before they even started reaching their hand back.

I wish people wouldn’t just see me as the Asian girl who beats everyone up, or the Asian girl with no emotion. People see Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me. You add race to it, and it became, ‘Well she’s too Asian’, or ‘She’s too American’. I kind of got pushed out of both categories. It’s a very strange place to be. You’re not Asian enough and then you’re not American enough.

Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you’re really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. If  I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone’s going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares.
