They didn’t come out and say it yet, but the assassination mission Shang-chi’s father sent him on was to kill Katy’s grandfather, right?

Or am I the only one who got that impression?
That’s what I was thinking, I’m hoping it ain’t though that would be too predictable
 
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings




Another marvelous Marvel Movie

Years ago I found some Master of Kung Fu comics and I thought Shang Chi was a pretty cool character as he took on Doctor Doom and an assortment of other sinister Marvel characters.
Now he gets the big screen treatment in this story about Shang-Chi confronting the past he thought he left behind when he's drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization.
I thought the entire cast including : Simu Liu ,Awkwafina,Meng'er Zhang,Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu
Benedict Wong,Michelle Yeoh,Ben Kingsley and Tony Leung did a great job.
Shang and Xu Wenwu have the most estranged father and son relationship since Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. This gives the film some great dramatic weight.
One scene with Awkwafina was supposed to be suspenseful but I actually found it funny because of the sounds and visuals attached to it,which wasn't a minus but a plus for me.
I was much more receptive of an MCU created character I found extremely lame before.
I actually thought The Abomination looked more like Ch'od from the Star Jammers.




I loved what the film had to say about loss and how it can alter multiple destinies.How obsession can lead to one's downfall and You don't have to run away from who you are, and just because you embrace it that doesn't mean people can guilt or manipulate you into doing something wrong.
There are some terrific action sequences that even when they are not laced with a ton of SFX are thrilling.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is as much a celebration of Asian culture as Black Panther was of Black culture.


PROBLEMS: The film stalls a bit once it reaches it's last 40 minutes.Some story threads were a bit clichéd. Some of the SFX was a bit choppy at times.

Scale of 1 to 10 an 8
 
So with Bruce back human do we get a new version of Hulk? Possibly in the She-Hulk series?
 
That mid credit scene dope though.

You had a guy into the mystical arts, the smartest scientist on earth, and a woman who knows all about alien tech looking at the rings and none of them knew what the shits was.

And the shit was sending out signals to some unknown being.

And then they decided to let a mfer who knows nothing about nothing keep them. Lmaoooo. Marvel heroes some garbage
 
Bruce arm still fucked up huh? 🤔

Has there been a separation between the meaning of different "dimensions" and "universes" or are they supposed to be/mean the same thing in the MCU

People keep saying the MCU is gonna he divided into two, earty bound and space.

But I keep seeing 3. Earth bound, space, and mystical.

Dimensions probably gonna be some dr strange shit, and space gonna be captain marvel thor and them.

And theyll all he crossing over with each other

And he back Human? So new version of Hulk next time?
 
Post-credit scenes got me intrigued. Wonder what the rings giving off a signal mean in the long-term. Also, the Ten Rings seem like it's gonna continue being a criminal organization with the sister in charge
Fing Fang Foom since the rings are his races tech
 
You know for this movie to not even feel like a marvel movie is telling how good it is

is it okay to say this is better than Iron man?

It almost feels like blasphemy but then I remembered the final battle in iron man
It is but IM1 still the GOAT for setting shit off rYD7RBN.png
 
As long as they don't have him looking goofy like this, I'm down to see him appear in the sequel
