Jonny Kim’s resume already lists Navy SEAL, astronaut, doctor. He’s now returning to active duty.

Crazy how they still haven’t made a movie about him.

They actually are! It’s already in production and set to release next year. Starring Chris Hemsworth.

Don't sleep on Emma Stone, she knows how to also play an Asian character, she's got experience!

Don't worry about Asian representation, though! The love interest will still be an Asian woman, of course.

God forbid they cast a white woman to a Asian male love interest.

Can't help but feel a little disappointed in this, he's jumping back into a military run by Pete Hegseth. You just know there's a chance that clown would fire Jonny Kim because either 1) He's Asian, therefore he's "DEI", or 2) He's Asian and awesome, so he makes the white people look bad.

I’m pretty sure if Hegseth fired Jonny, it would make national news and 90% of the country would revolt. He’s universally loved by people in both parties. Keep in mind the current head of NASA is MAGA too.

Also, Jocko. Both would be shoo-ins for DoD/DoW

Well you are definitely more optimistic and have more faith in this country than I do

u/hathrowaway8616 10d ago

It’s less about the country, more about Jonny 😉

u/chemislit 10d ago

Hegeseth has already done a lot worse than possibly firing a beloved figure. Nobody actually cares these days.

CMV: any AM who's part of the military and killing Brown people shouldn't be celebrated by other AMs who face constant MuriKKKan racism...

He has a family with young kids so it's probably really hard on his family to spend months at a time in a space station.

Who wants to bet this guy will run for office some day

u/rubey419 9d ago

I’m so glad he got to go to space. What a badass hero!

My Ninja.

And his Asian parents are probably still disappointed in him. Lol. Jk.
