Arthur Harrow wants his followers to speak three languages. He might want to find a new Mandarin teacher first.

The Moon Knight villain (played by Ethan Hawke) has a brief conversation in Mandarin with one of his followers in the second episode of the Marvel Studios series, and viewers familiar with Mandarin are criticising the scene for butchering the language and calling it "gibberish" on social media.
