    Maggie is such an inspirational person in every single way, she's one of my favourite actors ever and has been since Nikita!! She is so incredibly wise, what she said about representations, asian stereotypes and how she fights to empower the Asian American community. Not only that but she is a magnificent actress and a total badass!
    Her and Leo were so hilarious togeter and had such great chemistry, I need them to do a comedy together and they literally talked about that in the end of the interview! I know him from Westworld but this is the first time seeing an interview with him and he seems really awesome! :D

    I’ve known her ever since Naked Weapon- she’s always been an action star. I’m so happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. She’s more than just a side character. She can easily be the main star! Hello Nikita and Protégé, she’s a star

      And that's exactly why they're having this talk.
      Hollywood representation of Asian people is pretty non-inclusive and... plays up racial stereotypes. It's bullshit.
      I have so many people who still ask me how I am able to speak English even after I tell them I was born and raised in Chicago....

    Started out a little slow on Maggie's part, her answers a bit shallow in terms of depth, but as the interview moved along she gave such elaborate answers that put you in your place; she is a hotty! And l think she would've been so perfect for female roles based on video games like Street Fighter because she's so kick-ass!

    WB made the right decision in picking Maggie Q for Nikita because that show is my all time favorite show of all time for this Asian American!! She is still the 2nd Asian woman in the world to lead her own show!

  • @illimattic

    Maggie Q is the 2nd Asian to lead her own show, the first one was in the 50s.

    honestly i know Maggie from her HK movies, i didn't really watch much of her hollywood stuff cause it's still kind of cast type where she's an Asian person who's fighting (-__-)..

    • @ItsBritneyBitch1
      @ItsBritneyBitch1 6 лет назад +7

      You should watch Nikita!! It's an incredible show and there's nothing wrong with Asian people being badass in movies as long as it doesn't get steriotypical. Maggie Q is not a steriotypical asian in Nikita, she's not a ninja running around with a sword but a ghost agent (ex-assasin). Her character there is very well written with a lot of layers. Maggie Q loves doing her own stunts and being in action shows/movies that's why she choses projects like that. :)

    First Asian-American to star in a major TV series?...the irony is she is only half-Asian.

    • @zintlemvana7955

    • @lepetitchat123
      @lepetitchat123 4 года назад

      Zintle Mvana she is half white. It’s like Obama , he is half white half black but people treat him as black only
      So white is supposed to take second seat when it comes to race?

  • @marlenasien8793
    @marlenasien8793 5 лет назад

    It wasn't such a big deal when Maggie Q became Nikita.
    But if Idris Elba is even whispered to be in talks to play Bond, the internet explodes.

    • @zintlemvana7955
      @zintlemvana7955 4 года назад

      I get what you're saying but La Femme Nikita didn't have the huge following that Ian Fleming's "James Bond" has. So of course not a lot of Americans even knew there had been such a series and that they were rebooting it

  • @janetw3461
    @janetw3461 4 года назад +2

    By repeating how Americans look down on them, I feel that Asians are literally looking down on themselves by focusing on this issue.

    What's "White male privilege" exactly? If I build my own home and create my own art and others decide to come and live with me, doesn't mean I'm obligated to live in deference to those other people. I wonder when we'll see more non-Asians in Korean film, or Chinese film, or any Asian film industry?
