Or fight like John Wick:

What I like about Ironwood's fighting style is how much control he has with his own person, and having no superpower to make him as strong as the other semblance users.

Something now about Ironwood vs Team ORNJ made me realize how he's much more stronger and capable of coordination, and how others' superpowers never detour him. They have their cheats of leveling up, but he relies heavily on what he has. He may as well be a regular human and he's still much better than superhumans.

I enjoy how he uses his strength only for some moments. James is strong enough to grab a Grim arm and stop them. Strong enough to stop a Mammoth summon. And yet he still uses all that strength sparingly, rather wanting to utilize his brain and guns to perform strategic takedowns.

Too bad nobody else in the show is as unique as James. Truly king for having less than others and yet powerful in his own way.

I think they are Sheriffs who keep the Sith civil in their dealings within the Empire.

Sifu is a better 'Shang Chi' Movie than Shang Chi.

When a group of White men have a better grasp on Chinese Kung Fu than an all-Asian cast and staff on an Asian-Centric movie.

Sure, Asians invented Kung Fu, but count on the White Man to improve on the inventions of other people.

But ultimately Shang Chi was a safe movie with a safe understanding of Chinese Culture. It wasn't meant to delve deeper into the lives and ideals of Chinese-Americans. It was Jamie Oliver Fried Rice, compared to properly cooked Fried Rice. Safe and palatable for the liberals who can't handle some seeds in their chili.

Endeavor Apologists are aware that he has done some questionable things to his family ...

Endeavor Apologists are not writing off Endeavor's 'abuse' of his family. But they recognize that there is more to Endeavor's character, and his actions are a product of a society that puts affection on people with Quirks, and within that class of people, those with marketable quirks are favored over those who do not.

Endeavor's life and lifestyle revolved around this society which is focused on the idea of idolizing powerful quirks. What Endeavor believes is good for his family is shaped by the rather toxic environment of the BNHA society and the pro-hero industry. Having a strong quirk is what gets you ahead in life, so Endeavor ensures that his children who have quirks are trained to control these keys to success, which is what any parent would do for their child.

Despite Endeavor's good intentions, however, the results are destructive and self-destructive. That is something Endeavor only recognizes after his family is nearly torn apart. Now Endeavor is trying to fix the consequences of believing in a flawed system that ultimately brought more harm than good to what Endeavor ultimately cares the most about.

Endeavor apologists are not dismissing the abuse. But we recognize that Endeavor is a result of an abusive society. We also recognize that Endeavor is trying to change as a conscious rebellion against the pro-hero industry and society. Which is a heroic action all on its own.

Endeavor had a lasting impact on his family, but the fault was due to the environment he is a part of.

Recognizing that Endeavor is a product of a broken system and that he is working around it is something an Endeavor fan can respect.

That recognition of something wrong and working to change in some way does not erase Endeavor's actions, but it is something Endeavor Apologists choose to focus on MORE than the abusive behavior. Abusive behavior is an extension of the abusive nature of the Pro-Hero industry the characters in the story slavishly support.

To hate on Endeavor Apologists for focusing on MORE than ONE aspect of Endeavor's character is to miss the fact that the abuse reflects worse on the Pro-Hero industry and the world-building.
