ooooh i've been thinking that hollywood has been slow to tap chinese mythology (or east asian in general) for material when the stories and visuals are so vibrant and unique. i want to check this out for sure

Probably because they were trying to figure out how to insert white people in the stories.

I wish they would take Love Like the Galaxy and show it on HBO or something (or even PBS) so people can get a taste of how a show can be fantastic without white actors. / the dream
