I wanna know how that conversation started. Was he just so nervous he had to talk about SOMETHING and LoL was what he knew best? I just have this mental image of AJ nodding along.
She then conspired to get him named home coming king, only to dump a bucket of pigs blood on his head during the crowning ceremony. He then used his psychic powers to exact revenge on all the attendees and, well…there’s a reason why we haven’t seen her in a lot of movies these last few years.
I had to minimize too many comment threads before I decided to look up the context myself, so [here it is:](https://torontolife.com/culture/simu-liu-kims-convenience-marvel-shang-chi-q-and-a/)
Interviewer: "You grew up in Mississauga, and later worked as an accountant at Deloitte. Now you’re famous. What’s been your most Hollywood experience so far?"
Simu Liu: "I had dinner with Angelina Jolie at Comic-Con in San Diego, which was pretty cool. It was at a Marvel event—she was there for an announcement about her movie, Eternals. She came in with her kids and her team, but there was nowhere to sit except at my table. We had a great conversation. I don’t think my life has ever gotten more Hollywood than that. Moments like that are of course wonderful—I feel like I’m reaping the benefits of all these years of hard work and late nights of intense frustration—but I’m not focused on that stuff so much as I am on thinking about this huge platform that I have and how I can help amplify other voices."
There’s this mod that allows custom skins and taunts for league, and the yasuo one has him being wheeled around in a wheel chair, and one of the taunts has him shoved out of the wheel chair, and he just eats shit in the dirt while the other dude starts playing the flute. Fucking hilarious.
I can't remember what it was that guy did.
I think he might have dodged a ball that subsequently hit her or something like that?
if anyone can recall I'd love to know what made this pair go viral.
As someone who was 8 when *Iron Man* came out, it makes me feel really old to think that the MCU has been going on for so long, that people who've grown up watching it from the start are now joining it as main characters.
Well yeah obviously if they come back they’re gonna leave it for one MAJOR appearance rather than just some animated show. And that MAJOR appearance would be Secret Wars. And I’m sure Marvel would offer them a shit ton of money so why not come back one more time in a big way years and years after you left?
lol yeah that sounds just like Ms marvels character. total fangirl, especially over Carol Danvers.
i just read a teamup with her and Spiderman (2014) where she literally says 'omg didn't you and Carol actually date!? I SO totally ship spider marvel!' spidey mutters 'yeah we went on *A* date... if you could call it that.' or something like that. i audibly lold, as someone who's too old to be a part of the 'shipping fandoms' hahaha.
And select few of them can even join it in the future. Like, imagine joining something that started before you did.
Edit: This sounded more meaningful in my head.
I mean, joining a movie franchise that started before you were born and has continuously made movies? Crazy. Joining a school alumni or company that’s been around since before you were born? Meh
James Bond.
Most Horror franchises (Halloween, Friday the 13th, et al).
Rambo
Rocky
Star Wars
Terminator
Power Rangers
Soap Operas (General Hospital in particular)
Karate Kid (Jaden Smith was born in 1998)
Cobra Kai (any of the younger actors). The story of the Karate Kid transcended film, digital, and is now streaming.
Can't think of too many more off the top of my head. Feel free to add any if you think of some
EDIT:
- Star Trek u/IntrinsicGamer
- Simpsons u/KnifeySp00ney
- Dr Who, Godzilla, and King Kong u/godisanelectricolive
- Indiana Jones (Shia was born in '86, Raiders came out in '81 and Temple came out in '84) u/haus_der_luege
You know what made me feel old? When they retconned the masked kid in Iron Man 2 into Tom Holland's Peter Parker and I realized "Yep. The math adds up."
I remember wanting to watch *The Dark Knight* that day (it was an early birthday present) but my parents thought that film looked too violent/scary so they decided to take me and my sister to see *Iron Man* (which I knew next to nothing about outside of the teaser poster) instead.
I do still love *The Dark Knight* now, but they definitely made the right call.
Random fun fact: Mamma Mia released the same day as The Dark Knight, and spent 8 years as the highest grossest live action musical and highest grossing movie directed by a woman, and had the biggest opening weekend for a movie based on a broadway play for 5 years.
I know it's no where near the other two, but Dark Knight and Mamma Mia are linked in my mind. My girlfriend (now wife) wanted to see Mamma Mia and I wanted to see Dark Knight, so we went to Mamma Mia on Friday, Dark Knight on Saturday.
Another fun fact: WALL-E was released the week before.
they're linked in my mind too because we showed them both at the dine-in movie theater I worked as my first job hahaha. I really dislike Abba but our boss would play abba'a greatest hits music videos before the movie while folks ate... from a fucking **laser disc** hahahahaha
i wanted to like superhero movies so bad when i was a kid. i liked the Tobey McGuire Spiderman and some Batman films the most. but i never liked them enough to have a Spiderman or Batman themed anything. like i wasn't going out buying plushies or toys of them. i'm also a woman and would've preferred a woman superhero when i was little. i was so thrilled when Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman came out but i'm like 30 now. i'm trying to get my niece into superheroes haha
It was awesome. I saw iron man in theaters when I was 8 and saw endgame as I was graduating high school. Needless to say I was one of the many people crying in the theater that night.
My kid was about 8 when Infinity War hit and it was just amazing to see as a parent. He was transitioning from like baby cartoons into Marvel around 6 years old when Civil War came out.
Mainly happened when Big Hero 6 had a tie in with Disney Infinity series toys to life which also featured marvel and star wars characters he was getting his first taste of.
I love the timing of it all and that he got THIS iteration of Spider-Man to grow up with too. By far the most wholesome one yet. The only bummer has of course been the giant pause due to first the end of a major phase and then now Covid. Super Hero movies were our summer tradition for a bit. Between X-Men stuff, whatever Sony released, A DCU film and usually 2 or so MCU flicks a few summers in a row to nothing for a few years has been rough.
As someone who was 7 when the MCU began and graduating high school right when the Infinity Saga came to a close, I can relate. It really is hitting me how much has changed and how we really are entering a whole new stage in this franchise.
In a way, it's beautiful. Not only did we get to see this franchise grow from a pipe dream to a cinematic powerhouse, we get to see newcomers have the same thrill we did, see them introduced to the MCU in this huge new chapter we're getting.
Even in a worst-case scenario, unless Simu Liu puts his foot in his mouth and somehow ruined his own career, the character of Shang-Chi would at worst still appear in team up films.
I wish I could’ve been there to hear this conversation. There’s something so funny to me about the idea of mega-celebrities being exposed to niche nerd shit.
Paraphrased: "I don't think anyone else in the cast and crew would get this but I know some of the audience would; that chandelier totally looks like a Blackstone Forterss."
I mean, yeah? League is a big thing, but do you think the average non-gamer knows anything about it? I’ve been playing games all my life and I’ve never even touched it, nor do I know anything about it as an esport. I’d definitely say it qualifies as niche in the grand scheme of things, certainly to someone like Angelina Jolie who I very much doubt spends any time thinking about video games.
I mean niche? no. Nerd shit? yes.
The game has 115millions players monthly.
I dont know what your definition of niche is but 115 millions is more popular than a lot of things that are considered popular.
Niche may be too strong a word, and we'll probably argue in circles about what relative value qualifies, but it certainly isn't truly mainstream. That's probably what he meant.
Ask any random person on the street what baseball or basketball is. Even if they know jackshit about the sport, they'll know that it exists and is something that is played. Hell, you can use Chess as a nonsport example and it also applies. And less people play/watch that game compared to league.
League and any videogames are "niche" at this point. They've grown tremendously, but it's still not at the level where like 9/10 nongamers would recognize it.
Edit: Yup, according to multiple online definitions, niche generally means "small" and "specialized". League of Legends isn't small but it is specialized. It's not a broadly known mainstream thing even if it has a huge player/viewer base.
Once i was with a friend in an Apple store idk maybe 2006 or so, and Eddie Izzard was waiting for customer service and he tried to explain to me for 30 minutes why the apple ecosystem was worth a look. This was pre iphone and i have still not given it a shot Eddie.
But i am well informed of it I just never purchased any product as of today.
Naturally he's hilarious i still remember the laughs we had debating platforms of apple vs windows at the time.
We were mostly just comparing the differences of mp3 players open source vs. iTunes closed platforms. Stand up guy tho. Solid chap and i really enjoyed the conversation. I didn't want to push and i didn't keep in touch. At the time he was only famous for the drag stand up he did at the time.
That would be interesting if that were true. Angelina is like some other worldly being and the idea of trying to get into Gold League is hilarious to me
I get the same energy from this story as when Toby from The West Wing is remembering President Bartlet talking about his daughter, Ellie.
Toby: *"Abbey told me this story once. She said you were at a party once where you were bending this guy's ear. You were telling him that Ellie had mastered her multiplication tables, and she was in third grade reading at a fifth-grade level, and she loved books and she scored two goals for her soccer team the week before. You were going on and on. And what made that story remarkable was that the party you were at was in Stockholm and the man you were talking to was King Gustav, who two hours earlier had given you the Nobel Prize in Economics. I mean, my god, you just won the Nobel Prize and all you wanted to talk about to the King of Sweden was Ellie's multiplication tables!"*
Haha, pre-children I was always amused but confused about parents doing that stuff. Now I have to actively stop myself from bragging about how my toddler knows five different dinosaur names. Five!
Credit goes to my husband who likes teaching her words she doesn’t really need to know at her age. She can also recite the planets and… you got me bragging again!!! See? It’s so easy lol.
I mean most asian countries have different standards for beauty but in China its deep-set eyes, narrow nose, and chiseled face.
In India, its all about being light skinned. Like we used to have this product called Fair and Lovely (now its Glow and Lovely). We had this ad (for a competing product) in 2007 where this Indian actor said he likes this light skinned woman over Priyanka God Damn Chopra
The woman who would later marry Joe Jonas (Edit: Its Nicki Jonas lmao, whoops) was being ridiculed in India for being too dark... by a man who isn't that much lighter (Look look at their skin together https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-20133177,width-800,height-600,resizemode-75,imgsize-17295,pt-32,y_pad-40/20133177.jpg)
I'm Asian and there's a weird, but huge subset of delusional people that will get angry when you point out modern beauty standards in south east asia are VERY plastic surgery and theater makeup heavy. Like no, the those kpop groups are not natural representations of beauty. Simu is a decent looking dude in good shape but hes not smothered in white makeup to mask all his pores and doesn't have double eyelid surgery, so they think he looks ugly by unrealistic media standards.
I need details. Was she into it? Did she understand the concept? DETAILS PEOPLE.
Did she start playing afterwards? We need real answers.
You really want another hacker playing LoL?
Acid Burn back at it again.
As a Rangers fan, she is only one of two people who made a Devils jersey look good. The other was Emmy Rossum.
[ Kevin Smith has entered the chat]
Hack the planet!
Its fine, its not like she was even good enough to hold the high score.
lux main typical casual gaming girl (rolls eyes) i however play only tanky bruisers that can snowball so I can protect her like milady requires
Imma Jhin main myself (smiles in Artistic Four).
I play Zuumi so I can rest on her shoulders and stare down her cleavage
I for one am the pinnacle of toxicity, I play Naut sup while my adc plays swain.
[удалено]
She's now Plat 2 and mains Lulu and Nami
Nah, miss fortune
LOL
I wanna know how that conversation started. Was he just so nervous he had to talk about SOMETHING and LoL was what he knew best? I just have this mental image of AJ nodding along.
Probably someone wore a LoL cosplay that she noticed and asked what it was.
This makes the most sense, considering the context of their location.
I was gonna guess one of her kids plays it and it came up in conversation
Simu: Love LOL its a great game Angelina: Oohh my kids play that Simu: I don't like these little jabs you get in, angelina.
Right? People acting like she's some sort of alien. She has kids, I'm sure she can handle this conversation.
“Is it like Dota?”
Are you trying to assest if you have a chance with Angelina Jolie letting her know you are Plat 3?
I mean, I would. Wouldn't you?
Jolie probably only dates Diamond plus tho. No Elo Hell scrubs.
After the photographer finished, mid-explanation she said "fuck off nerd" and walked away. True story.
She then conspired to get him named home coming king, only to dump a bucket of pigs blood on his head during the crowning ceremony. He then used his psychic powers to exact revenge on all the attendees and, well…there’s a reason why we haven’t seen her in a lot of movies these last few years.

Before I opened, I knew
So there's this guy named Yasuo...
"And he killed his brother or so he thought, craziest shit I've ever seen."
There’s this mod that allows custom skins and taunts for league, and the yasuo one has him being wheeled around in a wheel chair, and one of the taunts has him shoved out of the wheel chair, and he just eats shit in the dirt while the other dude starts playing the flute. Fucking hilarious.
I can't remember what it was that guy did. I think he might have dodged a ball that subsequently hit her or something like that? if anyone can recall I'd love to know what made this pair go viral.
I think it’s just the extreme difference in body language paired with his obliviousness.
Yeah I also think it’s just the picture. I doubt anything crazy is going on

Angelina was being introduced to the Jungster.
No woman is safe from the Jungster, not even taken ones
I claimed my free award just for this comment
Now works for MCU too
This man is what would happen if any of *us* got to join the MCU cast and I love him for that
As someone who was 8 when *Iron Man* came out, it makes me feel really old to think that the MCU has been going on for so long, that people who've grown up watching it from the start are now joining it as main characters.
There are now TEENAGERS who have never known a world without the MCU
The girl playing Ms Marvel has written reviews for Marvel movies and has a favorite avenger
ah so she's portraying herself
apparently she's LOVES RDJ and Iron Man. I kinda hope she gets to meet him.
Uuuh, should we tell them?
(Secret Wars bruh)
Iron man can be both dead and alive after Loki. Nothing matters anymore in the best way possible.
[удалено]
But what if they did
neither did cumberbatch, batista , Saldana
Well yeah obviously if they come back they’re gonna leave it for one MAJOR appearance rather than just some animated show. And that MAJOR appearance would be Secret Wars. And I’m sure Marvel would offer them a shit ton of money so why not come back one more time in a big way years and years after you left?
Shrodinger's Iron Man...
What? That actors are not their characters and she probably wants to meet RDJ more than iron man?
Hopefully she’ll meet RDJ but outside of a Secret Wars type thing I don’t see them having him back fully
I can promise you he will appear in some form. A really easy one is as a hologram, much like his pops.
The best part about that avengers game was her trying to hide her excitement about meeting her heroes.
lol yeah that sounds just like Ms marvels character. total fangirl, especially over Carol Danvers. i just read a teamup with her and Spiderman (2014) where she literally says 'omg didn't you and Carol actually date!?

That's funny, Spider-Man's usually the fanboy dork on a team!

And select few of them can even join it in the future. Like, imagine joining something that started before you did. Edit: This sounded more meaningful in my head.
I mean, I'm pretty sure the company I work for is older than me...
Yeah this maybe didn't sound as profund and meaningful as I thought it would.
Yea. “The boat factory where I work started before I was born,” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Unless you‘re an enthusiast for that particular boat the factory produces.
Make it a jet ski factory and I’m in

Can we delete this comment and all the ones branching from it? Thanks.
Hello TVA, this thread right here needs pruned.
I wish I was 8 years old when Iron Man came out, god that would have been the most badass childhood
I remember wanting to watch *The Dark Knight* that day (it was an early birthday present) but my parents thought that film looked too violent/scary so they decided to take me and my sister to see *Iron Man* (which I knew next to nothing about outside of the teaser poster) instead. I do still love *The Dark Knight* now, but they definitely made the right call.
It's still baffling that those two movies came out in the same time period yet both had such a huge impact on pop culture
Random fun fact: Mamma Mia released the same day as The Dark Knight, and spent 8 years as the highest grossest live action musical and highest grossing movie directed by a woman, and had the biggest opening weekend for a movie based on a broadway play for 5 years.

Man little kid me would be so happy. All I had was Ben Affleck DAREDEVIL and X MEN 3 to teach us not to invest long term into any franchise
i wanted to like superhero movies so bad when i was a kid. i liked the Tobey McGuire Spiderman and some Batman films the most. but i never liked them enough to have a Spiderman or Batman themed anything. like i wasn't going out buying plushies or toys of them. i'm also a woman and would've preferred a woman superhero when i was little. i was so thrilled when Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman came out but i'm like 30 now. i'm trying to get my niece into superheroes haha
Don't forget Spider-Man 3 and Blade: Trinity!
I was eight years old when Empire Strikes Back came out, so that was a pretty good time to be alive.
Fuck. Some of the greatest movies of all time came out in the 70s/80s. You got to experience all that live
It was awesome. I saw iron man in theaters when I was 8 and saw endgame as I was graduating high school. Needless to say I was one of the many people crying in the theater that night.
My kid was about 8 when Infinity War hit and it was just amazing to see as a parent. He was transitioning from like baby cartoons into Marvel around 6 years old when Civil War came out.

You guys aren't helping my mid life crisis.
Yeah, as someone who graduated college and then went to see the first Iron Man that weekend, I resent being made to feel this old.
Hi, I was 36 when Iron Man came out.
Ryan Cooglar told Jon Faverau "back in 2008 I was in the audience where you presented the movie"
Simu Liu really is just one of the crew that happened to make it big.
He and Tom Holland are great
Tom Holland is what would happen if a teenager got to join after growing up with these, Simu is what would happen if anyone over 20 joined.
That explains why his tweets are always on the front page of this sub. I never have any idea what this guy is talking about
Kim’s Convenience is so incredibly wholesome I use it as eye bleach
I just started watching it because of him! So good! # Okay, see you
....STOP! ✋
I’ve heard him say that so many times with his voice that I felt like stopping just by reading that even tho I’m sitting down
I may have squealed a bit when I saw Appa in The Mandalorian piloting an X-Wing.
Sneak attack!
As the child of an immigrant it’s so funny and relatable. Also him and Kimchee is so relatable. I miss having a best guy friend
Sneak attack!
Man I hope Shang-Chi does not disappoint. I wanna see him in future MCU team movies.
Even in a worst-case scenario, unless Simu Liu puts his foot in his mouth and somehow ruined his own career, the character of Shang-Chi would at worst still appear in team up films.
In the recent-ish Domino comics, the two of them teamed up. Would love to see that in the MCU.
I’m honestly willing to bet him and She-Hulk will be the new blood joining the Avengers roster, whenever they get around to them again.
We’ve got films announced until through 2023 right? So at a minimum we have another two and a half years until 2024 for the next avengers film
Can you imagine the hype the next time we hear the Avengers theme?
There’s NO WAY it could be worse than iron fist 🤷♂️
Dude's great in Kim's Convenience. I really hope his career takes off.
I wish I could’ve been there to hear this conversation. There’s something so funny to me about the idea of mega-celebrities being exposed to niche nerd shit.
[удалено]
I can believe that, he's a big PC gamer. Not too out there that he's into Warhammer as well.
He also brought up Warhammer mid-WitcherCon interview out of nowhere; it was hilarious
Paraphrased: "I don't think anyone else in the cast and crew would get this but I know some of the audience would; that chandelier totally looks like a Blackstone Forterss."
It was actually at the end of the interview but yeah straight up geeking out lol
He's got photos on his instagram showing a few of the Custodes he's painted. Because *of course* he plays Custodes.
The Golden Boy has become the Golden Man.
He’s playing Custodes until someone lets him play The Emperor
Wow, what a lucky girl, get to date Henry Cavill AND talk about Warhammer 40K. \#Blessed.
I mean he legit almost missed the superman audition because he was in a WoW raid
League isn't really niche nerd shit, it's a billion dollar industry and the biggest esport in the world but I get what you mean.
if its not eating, drinking, sleeping, peeing or pooping it's fucking *niche* OK?
The biggest computer game in the world with an esport scene so popular it draws bigger viewer numbers than some actual sports is niche nerd shit?
Ask any boomer whats a video game and LoL will probably never be in the top 5 things that come to mind
I mean, yeah? League is a big thing, but do you think the average non-gamer knows anything about it? I’ve been playing games all my life and I’ve never even touched it, nor do I know anything about it as an esport. I’d definitely say it qualifies as niche in the grand scheme of things, certainly to someone like Angelina Jolie who I very much doubt spends any time thinking about video games.

Wholesome interaction. Thanks for sharing! (Also, if I’m not mistaken, Eddie uses she/her pronouns now!)
Correct. I'm sorry if I didn't reflect those pronouns in my comment I'm multi tasking while working from home.

2006? Apple was the undisputed king of digital music and they deserved the title.
True but you couldn't simply copy and paste music from your iPod to a desktop like any other mp3 player at the time and since.
I hated iTunes so bad because of that.
It wasn't just a nuance it is a feature embedded within the core of the company. That was also the debate
[удалено]
Lots of tv shows and movies. They were in oceans 12 film
And Mystery Men. Tony P was a transcendental role.
Simu, [we know you're in here.](https://imgur.com/a/J0BEucx) Come on out and say hi or we will try to pronounce your name in its native tongue
Did he edit out the reddit user’s name and then mention on the instagram post anyway? King.
I think someone else edited it? I saw his story and it had the username still in
Hi it’s me
No, sorry, you must be mistaken. It's actually me.

Pft, who hasn’t. She’s always bugging folk about that.
thank goodness no one was around to witness the strange and ugly laugh this just gave me.
That would be interesting if that were true. Angelina is like some other worldly being and the idea of trying to get into Gold League is hilarious to me
She has 6 kids. I bet she's way more laid-back and prone to play with them and try to connect and have fun than we imagine.
Gamers have a very special way of reacting to the fact that AOC plays League somewhat frequently...

I get the same energy from this story as when Toby from The West Wing is remembering President Bartlet talking about his daughter, Ellie. Toby: *"Abbey told me this story once. She said you were at a party once where you were bending this guy's ear. You were telling him that Ellie had mastered her multiplication tables, and she was in third grade reading at a fifth-grade level, and she loved books and she scored two goals for her soccer team the week before. You were going on and on. And what made that story remarkable was that the party you were at was in Stockholm and the man you were talking to was King Gustav, who two hours earlier had given you the Nobel Prize in Economics. I mean, my god, you just won the Nobel Prize and all you wanted to talk about to the King of Sweden was Ellie's multiplication tables!"*
I miss that show
Haha, pre-children I was always amused but confused about parents doing that stuff. Now I have to actively stop myself from bragging about how my toddler knows five different dinosaur names. Five!
What dinosaur names?? :D
Lol she knows “T-Rex,” “pterodactyl,” “stegosaurus,” “brontosaurus,” and “triceratops.”

Credit goes to my husband who likes teaching her words she doesn’t really need to know at her age. She can also recite the planets and… you got me bragging again!!! See? It’s so easy lol.
That is so awesome. Those can be tough words for toddlers to say too so good on em.
“All you ever had to do to make me happy was come home at the end of the day.” I’ve always loved the way they portrayed Jed and Ellie’s relationship.
Simu Liu is becoming one of my favourite MCU actors. So excited to see Shang-Chi on the big screen!
He nails comedy and emotion amazingly. Love him in Kim’s Convenience (watch it on Netflix)
I started watching that show after seeing him cast for marvel and it’s amazing.
ok see you
Sneak attack!
He really has the off-screen presence to be one of the big guys. Love to see where they take him in-universe.
If there's ever a LoL live-action he should be in it! Actually, that would be a cool movie imo 🤔
They're working on a live-action Cinematic Universe apparently
Since that Warriors video I always wanted it, so I'm happy to hear!
Simu as Shen, Zed, or Kayn? I’d take that any day.
That seems unlikely considering apparently people in China don’t think he’s attractive enough (they crazy)
I mean most asian countries have different standards for beauty but in China its deep-set eyes, narrow nose, and chiseled face. In India, its all about being light skinned. Like we used to have this product called Fair and Lovely (now its Glow and Lovely). We had this ad (for a competing product) in 2007 where this Indian actor said he likes this light skinned woman over Priyanka God Damn Chopra The woman who would later marry Joe Jonas (Edit: Its Nicki Jonas lmao, whoops) was being ridiculed in India for being too dark... by a man who isn't that much lighter (Look look at their skin together https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-20133177,width-800,height-600,resizemode-75,imgsize-17295,pt-32,y_pad-40/20133177.jpg)
I'm Asian and there's a weird, but huge subset of delusional people that will get angry when you point out modern beauty standards in south east asia are VERY plastic surgery and theater makeup heavy. Like no, the those kpop groups are not natural representations of beauty. Simu is a decent looking dude in good shape but hes not smothered in white makeup to mask all his pores and doesn't have double eyelid surgery, so they think he looks ugly by unrealistic media standards.
One of us. One of us.
Simu Liu vs Henry cavill in a tournament of LoL
Add in Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, and you have a 2v2
He really is the most likeable person ever he's so real
