Hey Watchers - Steven here! Thanks for following us along on this incredible season of Dish Granted. It was a true honor to have Simu on the show and I had a blast creating this dish (absolutely zero stress whatsoever). All that being said.. if there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s to go watch Shang-Chi in theaters, September 3!

[@andpeggy7148]

​@@manni6below It's great that you've had this positive experience with men being kind to each other. I'm not being sarcastic or caustic when I say that, it really IS great. Unfortunately, that isn't the case everywhere. Toxic masculinity is very real, and I've seen a fair bit of men beating other men down for not being "manly" enough. This is especially true in places where the "traditional" family structure is valued, with a "strong man" at the head of the family (When I say traditional, I mean traditional for the western world, particularly the United States, and especially the southern states). For people who have grown up in those environments, seeing men interact with each other in a positive manner like this can be a rarity. Luckily, it's becoming more and more common and accepted. Just out of curiosity, what country/state do you live in? The social and political environment you live in can influence this heavily. I'm from the southern U.S. (North Carolina) if that provides any clarification.

We have an Asian lead who’s a superhero, the majority of the CAST is Asian, AND ITS A LITERAL MARVEL MOVIE?? We got more promotion for the Captain Carter episode of What If. I’m happy we got him on this episode. Nice guy! Edit: It seems like some people have not seen many ads at all while some see ads all the time. It might be a regional thing. I don’t know.

[@rilken2326]

I don't know if it's a region-based thing or if I'm just not an avid marvel fan, but I'd say I've seen a similar amount of ads popping up and the trailers and stuff on my feed for both those things. I could be wrong tho.

[@ItsLexy]

You're not kidding, this actor has been doing all the heavy lifting of promoting this movie mostly by himself with some help from dedicated fans. He's been heavily promoting it on his Twitter since day 1 but I'm not seeing ads for this movie anywhere, not on youtube or other websites or tv. The only reason I know about it is fans hyping it with mostly material the actor has provided. Normally it's hard to avoid Marvel ads but this movie is getting no advertising at all!

[@hankjones7054]

Dont imagine marvel/Disney would be self sabotaging their own profits. Lack of marketing might be a reflection of the times. Maybe the promotional budget is lower because their movie revenue (and everybody's) has tanked in the last year and cinema releases don't attract the same audience? Personally I've seen the same amount of marketing for the eternals so far, or black widow before it came out.

[@professorthread]

@@hankjones7054 Disney has a history of badly marketing anything that they don't want to do well to justify not doing it going forward. This is a company that could sell water to fish and has absolutely tanked movies with how it was marketed in the past. Look into how they treated treasure planet.

[@aliselyn5342]

25:51 Simu just being absolutely mind blown by this is so freaking adorable/hilarious

[@mindlostguy]

I know for a fact that Steven would make me bust out crying, happy tears, if I was on this show. If any of my friends ever did something like this for me, I've really wouldn't know how to handle all those emotions. I'd be overwhelmed with love

[@katebaldwin8175]

I came to watcher for Shane and Ryan and fell in love with Steven. He is so sweet and genuine. Also he makes some badass food

[@johrathbun]

I love all their bromances!!

[@catalinam36]

me too. at first i watched only their shows, but after watching Steven's ones it was all i cared about 😂 i love how he centers his shows around asian culture and food.

[@thatgirl9532]

I came here for Steven cause I’m such a big fan of Worth It and now Dish Granted ❤️.. I didn’t know anything about Shane and Ryan till I came here and they are the funniest lol

There couldn't have been a better way to end the series... This season was such a fun ride!! Seeing Steven struggle and then come up with something unimaginable was the highlight of my week!!!

[@smooshiebear80]

I really hope the popularity of the Barbie movie brings new viewers to this series. I need more episodes!

[@unpostedletter]

rewatching this after the latest Pod Watcher episode and i could NOT tell half of this is ADR'd at all! amazing work, Annie!

"It's so extra, but like, in all the right ways." i think you just summed up all of dish granted, steven

[@MlpAceSter]

Simu is really falling in love with Steven with each ingredient he showed I love it.

[@jaysauer834]

Omg this is way better than Simu's promo interviews, y'all are such cute friends. You have to bring him on again!!

[@laurendaley2503]

what a great guy, him becoming a marvel superhero and being a positive image for the asian community especially at this time is such a wonderful thing for him, lets hope he continues to be an amazing image for all audiences.

[@camilleosoba3981]

Uhoh

[@pabloquinonez8679]

Just because of this, I'm totally going to the premiere of the movie, he's such a nice guy, deserves to become a full-fledged Hollywood star. Thank you for this amazing season!!

[@jaune-soleil]

Agreed!

[@rosemali3022]

100%!

[@jbearclowater]

Simu is also great in a Canadian sitcom too, called Kim's Convenience. He's one of the leads, and it is well worth the watch!

[@alyssagillespie]

Just casually being besties with a freaking Marvel Superhero. I wasn’t super familiar with Simu (outside of knowing he was playing Shang-Chi) but his personality is so fun. Definitely fits in with the other Marvel personalities, can’t wait to see the movie and eventually some crossover action

[@feldaborshun3860]

You should definitely watch Kim’s Convenience

[@Alicesdoco]

Their friendships is so cute. Simu's reactions to each thing were so pure. Best way to end the season. I'm gonna try see if I can make it at home cause there's no Boba guys in Australia.

[@dexa6623]

Sometimes people will have celebrities or other creators on their shows, and they don't seem to know each other, but it seems like these 2 actually know eachother.

[@mfuentes4961]

Woah! Steven’s now making expensive meals for Marvel superheros now! That’s so cool!

OMG I freakin died when Simu just completely loses composure for 2 seconds, “YOU SON OF B*TCH, THATS GENIUS!” 😂🤣😂 but man I loved this episode, so awesome to see the process of you making Boba, and the two you together is dope! Keep it up 👍💪

[@MisterFoxx]

This is literally the most I’ve seen of Simu (never watched his show, but I will now!) and I’m totally digging this guy’s vibe and happy to see his star take off. Definitely going to be following his career and can’t wait to watch Shang-Chi!

If you have access to Kims Convenience (on netflix), its really funny and hes a main character!

Apart from TV, he's done a lot of skits here on KZbin, primarily with WongFu Productions, which is an Asian American film production crew based in LA. They've been around since the start of KZbin.

the end was just us watching simu fall in love with steven

[@raullarsen5013]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good the editing is for this episode? The cutaways are perfectly timed, the pace is is easygoing without slowing down, and the episode stands up to a second watch to be an even better experience.

[@DokuroSkull23]

Simu is such a lovely and charming guy, seems like a ton of fun to hang with.

[@jbearclowater]

Every interview or media appearance I see from Simu gives me that same impression. So pumped to see him in Shang Chi next month, I feel like his career is about to skyrocket.

[@_HuffleProud_]

How does Steven just know _everyone_

[@thatgirl9532]

One of my favorite things about Watcher is when Steven calls up an expert and you can TELL that they think his idea isn't going to work. Then he serves his guest and they love every moment of it. Absolutely *(boba) chef's kiss*

Watcher is now canon in the MCU, and that's something you love to see

This was the first episode I ever watched of this series, and now I'm watching it again after I've watched every episode in the series. Incredible! Can't wait for the next season!

[@dddeepikaaa935]

I can't tell if Simu is dying from excitement or just genuinely concerned where he got himself into and what he's about to digest

This series b like “watch Steven express his love language to everyone in his life” and we truly eat it up

Simu Liu, aka the best thing to ever happen to Marvel Studios

This was so heartwarming! When Steven was pouring the layers in with Simu there, I could see the love and pride he has for his friend. All that effort celebrating his friend who's hitting it big!

Did y’all know that “boba” is actually Taiwanese slang for “breasts”? It works out because I am mesmerized by Simu Liu’s upper body and handsome face.
