big deal director
She’s directed 3 movies that have grossed a combined $32 million. She was a diversity quota hire plain and simple.

I think it’s time for your midday anti-depressants.
The Ten Rings/Mandarin kidnapped Tony. It would make complete sense in the timeline, for a teenage Shang Chi sent to kill Stark, because his Evil Dad told him to.
Or they should’ve shown the hit he actually did. He’s The Living Weapon.
Regardless, your weird obsession with “roles/gimmicks” on Tigerdroppings reeks as a cry for help. Please seek therapy.
And the director for The Eternals won Best Picture and Best Director. She’s a big deal. Young, but a big deal.

I know you guys always gotta come with this angle, but using your brain and common sense is also an option.
Marvel has a distinct plan and narrative that their movies have to fit into. Big time directors usually don't want to conform to this, that's why you see so many lesser known directors directing theses Marvel Movies. Some might say That the Russo brothers don't fall into that narrative, but IMO their biggest movie before the Marvel stuff was You, Me and Dupree LOL
So I know is popular to claim quota, diversity hire etc... When its not some well known white male director, but you have to realize those guys want to do their own thing and Marvel just isn't going to allow it. Theses quota hires are just happy to get a chance at a big budget film and are gonna take direction and stay on mission. DC lets their directors run amuck and the DCU is a total mess.
Quick example:
Patty Jenkins: Leaves Thor The Dark World, because she could do what she wanted.
Goes and gets all the credit for Wonder Women, Gets total Control over WW 1984 and damn near has ruined the franchise!
Christopher Nolen could never do a Marvel Movie. MCU example. but thanks to RDJ, Shane Black got too pretty much do as he pleased in IM3. Result by far the worst IM movie and one of the bottom tier MCU movies. That's just kinda how I see it. It not about 100% filling a quota and more about not having to deal with push back on keeping everything aligned with the MCU.
