But I want to focus on Coran. I’ve regularly seen the complaint that Coran is “too goofy”....

Lee wrote the treatment with himself in mind, and was met by disappointment when studios felt that American viewers weren’t ready for a Chinese lead on prime time TV....

Warzone players have taken to Reddit to complain that the battle royale currently prohibits players from rejoining matches when they get disconnected.
