Darth Krawlie Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Pretty cool. Dragons and shit. Probably in the lower half of MCU though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The trailer made me feel like it was crossing Big Trouble in Little China with like Mortal Kombat and then like a meme Chef Kiss of MCU for flavor. I plan on ordering it on Disney+ soon, looking forward to dragons and shit. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It's not on Disney+, only in theaters at the moment. And since it is apparently crushing it, it may be a minute before it comes to streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zambingo Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I thought I saw the Shang-Chi banner in Disney+. Weird. Oh well. I’ll wait. I have no plans to ever set foot in a theater again. Over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sockimus Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It doesn't really look that good and I suspect, just like Black Panther, the reviews are being too generous because of certain aspects and instead of judging a piece of work on it's actual merits, it gets a free pass from the SJW infestation in film criticism circles. Will probably get a Best Picture nomination, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Until this movie, I never heard of Shang Chi. Was he a supporting character in Avengers, Iron Man, or another hero, or did he have his own title. Am I wrong to assume this character is a "deep cut" into the Marvel universe, or is he someone that recently became a thing? Pardon the question, but just got off work and don't feel like googling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 I've been familiar with the name for years but have never read him in a comic. He's had his own series' and I think he's in the Avengers now? He started off in martial arts comics in the 70s. He's never been a major player but Marvel's tried making a movie of him since long before the MCU was a thing--going back to the 90s, even. I wouldn't put him as a deeper cut than, say, Groot or Star-Lord were before GOTG came out, but he's fairly deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The comic pictures of SHang Chi I have googled more than resemble Bruce Lee, to the point I have to conclude he was inspired by Lee. Now that you mention he was in the 70s, that makes sense, because that was Lee's hey day, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 November 12th for Disney+ No one knows if you still have to pay for it then tho. Prior new film releases which were charged as premium were simultaneous debuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I really enjoyed this movie. It’s up there in my favorites from Marvel for certain. My boys loved it just so much, big fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I really enjoyed this movie too. The only thing that bothered me was some of the humor by the Katy character. I felt it wasn't needed and kind of detracted from the film a little. I do like how this tied into Iron Man 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLA Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I liked it, not one of my favorites but it had some great action and the fantasy aspects were unexpectedly cool. Plus, the Ten Rings power was freakin' badass! Would love to see a game with that powerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Saw this a few weeks ago, forgot to post. I didn't hate it, it was fun... but it also didn't really hit me hard enough to super care. Maybe the character is just too c-list for me? Not that the MCU hasn't made me love c-list characters before. I didn't hate it, but it's not high on the rewatch list. Awkwafina stole it of course. I can't help but wish this had been an Iron Fist movie-- it had all the trappings: a prodigal son, a hidden village in an alternate universe, a caged dragon. I really don't think anyone (that matters) would have been bothered of you cast Danny Rand as Chinese. With them soft-accepting the Defenders shows I guess we just have to accept that awful version of Iron Fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zambingo Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think Danny Rand being a spoiled white American who learns to find self worth and self control by accepting another culture still has a pretty relevant message to it. To be fair that isn’t what Netflix gave us though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I’d counter that exact same journey would be more personal if Danny was Chinese and completely Americanized and knew nothing of his culture or heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
