@ DJ Jammur -- Take a look at the Wikipedia article on Chinese Adjectives, particularly the section with the headings Predicative (after nouns) & First Pattern: Unlike English, subjects and predicates adjectives in a Chinese sentence are not linked by copula but by degree adverbs, such as 很 hěn "very," 好 hǎo "highly," 真 zhēn "really," and 非常 fēicháng "extraordinarily, extremely."

Because you have to have a degree adverb to accompany a free-standing, affirmative, predicate adjective, the most basic level of these, 很, can basically be ignored in this structure.
