American Born Chinese Season 1 Video Mp4 Download Movie

Jin’s plans to make the soccer team are derailed by the arrival of a new foreign exchange student.

The supernatural teen drama remains the most bankable form of entertainment in the world, and it’s shows like American Born Chinese, a Disney+ adaptation of the 2006 Gene Luen Yang graphic novel, that remind us why that will probably always be the case.

That isn’t to say this – or any of the others, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter – is perfect, but the ideas underpinning it are timeless. Discovering strange new powers and responsibilities will work as a metaphor for puberty as long as teenagers exist, and I don’t expect us to run out any time soon.

And is there any better analog for high school than fighting off a mystical, apocalyptic threat?

American Born Chinese Season 1 review and plot summary

The protagonist of American Born Chinese is Jin Wang (Ben Wang), the son of Chinese immigrants who can barely speak Mandarin and has no interest in his heritage. He just wants to play soccer and ask his pretty classmate Amelia (Sydney Taylor) out on a date, but he’s constantly caught between warring forces – his nerdy essential nature versus the jock bullies he wants to impress, his family’s hardworking traditional conservatism versus his desire for a “normal” childhood.

And that’s before he finds himself embroiled in a conflict with Chinese gods from Heaven.

Enter Wei-Chen (Jimmy Liu), who arrives as a confident new kid who’s unusually sure of himself but quickly reveals that he’s the son of Sun Wukong the Monkey King (Daniel Wu), a celestial deity facing whatever the godhood equivalent of a coup is. Wei-Chen, under the guardianship of Guanyin the Goddess of Mercy (Michelle Yeoh), is on a world-saving quest that he thinks Jin is integral to, but Jin’s social life has other ideas.

Is American Born Chinese good or bad?

American Born Chinese is an extremely well-made version of this very familiar kind of story, ideal for a platform like Disney+, where the House of Mouse’s bottomless coffers can supplement universal coming-of-age and social acceptance themes with Oscar-winning actors and fancy special effects.
