I think toku IS getting more popular in the US. Amazon licensed KR Amazons for Prime and is selling official KR merch, Shout Factory released like 15 seasons of Super Sentai, Zero-One got a blu-ray release, Marvel has been releasing Ultraman comics, Leopardon has shown up in Spider-man comics and will likely appear in Into the Spider-Verse 2, Godzilla vs Kong had massive hype surrounding it, etc. I think my friend also said that there was some Ultraman streaming event happening?

However, most people I know that are into anime and/or k-drama seem to view toku as either cringy and weird, or nothing more than Power Rangers.

The only person I know who is into Wuxia is somebody from Singapore that studied abroad at a nearby university.

Anyways, the only reason I personally would want it to become more mainstream is because I'm sick of people thinking I'm weird for being into it.

edit: Sorry if some of this was discussed already. This topic has far too many comments, many of which are entirely too long, for me to properly catch up.
