You’ve heard about it.
You’ve read about it.
You’ve dreamed about it.
But not entirely like this.
VH1’s latest dating reality series “Making Mr. Right” hasn’t even aired yet — that’s this Sunday, January 6th at 9pm ET/PT, kids — and there’s already a reported spin-off in the works, Making Mr. Wong, which takes place far off in “The Middle Kingdom.” You know, that “Land of the Dragon,” the “Waking Tiger,” or “Land of Zany Exports.”
Or just China, dudes and dudettes. The show is set to unofficially star Mr. Wong himself, C.S. Lee. Yeah, that really nerdy guy from Showtime’s smash hit “Dexter”.
More importantly, you know Wong as none other than Doctor Strange’s apprentice, bodyguard and manservant who has faithfully aided one of the Marvel Universe’s most successful superheroes through legendary battles with countless foes, such as the likes of Shadowqueen, Dracula and even Tony Stark’s chef. As a man who has had his share of bad luck with the females (i.e. one possessed by ancient demons, another slayed with mental unhingement), there’s no more “Wong” time than now.
This thousand-year old monk is certainly set to crash many international waves until he indeed finds “the right one.”
With that, 14 of the most glamorously violent international females — make it 15, if you’d like to count one winsomely mysterious gal named Unsichtbare Frau (which translates to “Invisible Woman” in the U.S.), whom we’re told viewers will never see — are placed through various martial arts tests, including Kamar-Taj (a form of raw meat dicing); aiding their dates with incapacitating random terrestrial foes; and other strenuously competitive dating scenarios, such as assistant housekeeping, to test one’s speed and efficiency.
You know, these wonderful women truly would like to find that “Mr. Wong” and certainly aim to please him only the best they can. Because, hey, let’s face it: who doesn’t want a butler bad boy who performs the mystical arts, anyway?
That is, until they find out it’s not exactly the ladies who are making the decisions on love. It’s Doctor Strange!
“Making Mr. Wong” is set to air on NTV-1 in December, 2081.
