The Brothers Sun (2024-), 1x08 - "Protect the Family"
If I have a coin for every time I watch a movie about 'a Chinese family that has a dickhead mafia boss kinda dads who only cares and hungers for insurmountable power and makes his oldest son in an assassin by torturing him mentally and physically and has mothers that are either estranged or dead, where after an assassination attempt at the older sibling, they run halfway across the world to find and protect their younger sibling from the impending threat but also has an estranged relationship with them because they haven't seen each other in years and were separated in the formative years yet they love and remember each other enough that they would do anything for each other and get beaten up (by them/for them) even though they only met just few minutes ago after years of separation, and they again slowly warm up to each other and feel guilty for each other's pain even though they weren't the one that was to be blamed for the suffering they went through and the actual culprit were their parents, and have younger siblings that are sweet sinnamon rolls that can and will kill you if provoked the wrong way and the older son is a literal personification of a puppy that has been kicked many times with three big truck full of daddy issues (although he too will kill you if you threaten to take away his family) but in reality he wants to do nothing with power and just wants to live a very mediocre life and live with his younger sibling (and mom) but the world is having none of it, so he goes to a few days of existential crisis and then rediscover himself and defeats his dad (even though he still loves him) with the power of Michelle Yeoh, Chinese culture and traditions, younger siblings that are little shits, and melodrama by his side' then I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
So the moral of the story is that Michelle Yeoh is always going to win, regardless of how powerful you are.
"Was there a time when you stole Mom's car so we could get shaved ice? I was trying to think of the last time we saw each other and, uh, you came home one day and grabbed Mom's keys. Yeah, I remember holding your hand and waiting in line and just, like, feeling like we were about to get away with something. Do you remember that?" "No."

DRAGON BALL Z X THE BROTHERS SUN on Netflix
unrelated rare fun fanart stuff these days, i like both shows for many culturally related reasons, but for THE BROTHERS SUN? Would love to see a second season being greenlit please, that show's good and not bc I'm a bias for Michelle Yeoh lol
Give it a watch if you like Taiwan triads matters with dysfunctional Asian family problems with 2 brothers living 2 different lives in 2 different sides of the world (yes it's very much a US series with the whole cast being Asians, we love representations in this house)
“Neither of us are who our parents thought we were.”
Ba was right about one thing. It is my job to protect the family. And I wanna make up for lost time. Get to know Ma again. This is the beginning of something good, Bruce. Even if it means farewell.
