He's not a character I've been interested in even in the comics, so I wonder why they rolled him out for a tv show, seeing as he's not a major character at all and he's kind of out of date. He dates back to the Kung Fu movie craze back in the '70s. Though I disagree with the accusation that he's an example of cultural appropriation. White people have been picking up martial arts and bits of Asian cuture with it for generations. Are they going to insist white people can't do martial arts? When Japan picked up guns from Western traders hundreds of years ago, nobody said it was cultural appropriation.

I think Finn Jones is very miscast, though. He was pretty bad in Game of Thrones too, and most actors do great in that show.
