"Alright, Arthur Harrow needs to fire his Mandarin teacher," Liu tweeted after latest episode shows Ethan Hawke's character Arthur speaking Mandarin to one of his cult followers, played by Miriam Nyarko. 

Liu's Twitter followers agreed, with one fan commenting, YES. EXACTLY. @MarvelStudios what happened here? What is this?? For those wondering, re were ZERO Mandarin/Chinese words spoken.

Ar user wrote, As someone who has been studying Mandarin for a good while, I was incredibly confused watching that scene. That wasn't Mandarin, which is weird, because MCU did a good job with Mandarin in Shang-Chi.
