    I kinda hope Kate and Shang stay platonic, it feels like you hardly ever see good platonic girl and guy friendships in movies. (Also the grandma asking when they're gonna get married just seemed like a grandma being a grandma)

      I kinda agree too... it would be great to see them more just as friends but at the same time I feel like in media it doesn't really show much asian couples much either... for example the stereotype of the asian women getting with a white protagonist and vice versa... so yeah...

    I'm not Asian but I ABSOLUTELY got the ABC joke right off the bat. SO clever. Whenever I am asked about this movie I equate it to Black Panther; great origin story film, has layers for the culture and people it is speaking to directly, and really didn't have much to do with the main MCU so you can watch it completly separate and still enjoy it. It was a nice palate cleanser before the calamity that is about to happen via the multiverse.

      I don't think they'll have her fully "break bad", if for no other reason than the MCU doesn't have anything that can offset her magic and they'll clearly need her to defeat Kang.

  • @Devillionaire
    @Devillionaire 3 роки тому +34

    The whole ending part between Shang-Chi & Wen Wu is so good. Very little is said and it’s almost entirely visual storytelling. From Tony Leung’s legendary emotive eyes to how each martial arts sequence by Shang-Chi shows his character arc in consolidating the legacies of both his parents, without a single word ever needing to be said out loud about it. Even the finishing move Shang-Chi kills the Dweller in Darkness with is a callback to his father’s fiercest attack. Gorgeous, epic, and mesmerizing. Everything I love about movies.

    I had to stop short and look up Benedict Wong when I heard that accent. Did not know he was English. Also, Tony Leung was a perfect choice for the dad. He had to play a warrior and a romantic partner and danged if he didn't have the presence, looks and charisma for both. I mean, I was watching this dude being fairly evil (I mean you really did feel for him although you'd think a 1000 year old man would be harder to buffalo) and thinking dayum... that's a good looking antagonist.

  • @RickClark58
    @RickClark58 3 роки тому +178

    Here is my theory on all of this. The fact that the Rings are sending out a signal means that they were made to do that, and since the signal is being broadcast into space, it means the Rings are extraterrestrial in origin. Since they are only now sending out the signal, that is after the Rings are transformed, it means that whoever made the Rings wanted to know when that transformation took place. This has to be a significant event, something that signals a major change on Earth. So who made them and why? The color of the transformed Ring is gold, the same color as the energy of the Eternals. The Eternals are AI constructs that the Celestials created in order to combat the Deviants so they may have made the Rings at the same time.
    Reversing the blip caused enough psychic energy to be released that the Deviants are once again active which in turn activates the Eternals because that is why they were made. The Rings are probably signaling to the Celestials that the event they were looking for is about to occur on the Earth. This event may actually be the birth of a new Celestial since the Celestials are born from planets and there may be a Celestial in Earth about ready to be born. The Rings are probably tapping into that Celestial energy within the Earth and have transformed because that energy has reached a critical point where the Celestial is about to be born. When that critical energy level is reached, the Rings may have been designed to send out a notification. The Celestials are probably on their way to Earth after receiving the signal. Shang-Chi is an Avenger so it all may be related. I think the Eternals and the Avengers may have to battle the Celestials to save Earth from destruction by preventing the Celestial from being born. Of course, I am probably wrong in all of this, but it is my best guess at the moment.

    Just watched this movie and man was it a great example of scamming an old man. So messed up. I loved the scenes with the dad and mom, those were the best parts of the movie for me. Also his real confession to Katie was really well done (though again that ties into the mom so). Still don't understand why they didn't give the masked guy the one armed guys role in the movie, seemed like an odd choice considering how tied to Shang Chi's childhood the masked guy was. Then they could've had him fight the sister because there's no way there's no back story between them. This movie also could've been a lot more interesting without tying it into marvel lol.

  • @yenbong5601
    @yenbong5601 3 роки тому +9

    wish this video couldve talked about the second end credit scene
    my points are as such :
    Xia Ling didn't shut down Wen Wu's operations like what she told Shang Chi but actually took it as her own empire OR another interpretation was she just made it more inclusive to all genders. So I'm sitting here thinking that maybe she could be a future villain or something in the MCU as now she has the Ten Rings army under her command and this made me sad cause she was my favourite character.
    But I'm not sure if she LEGIT took the Army for evil, I mean I also lowkey don't trust her when she ran off with her henchmen during the scene at the beginning when Shang Chi and her were talking about Wen Wu and were disrupted by Wen Wu's army in Xia Ling's dark web fighting rink or something.
    What do yall think? Do yall think she'll turn bad?

    • @davidcheater4239
      @davidcheater4239 3 роки тому +6

      She didn't just take over her Dad's organization, she expanded it with her fight club organization. They showed Black Widows training beside her father's goons. We had almost forgotten that she had made herself a crime lord in Macao at 16.
      She is a force to be reckoned with that I hope they don't just throw away.

    I did wonder if Marvel/Disney would have the guts to make Awkafina's character a genuine love interest but all they did was hint. Idk I would've liked to see a non-stereotypically attractive female love interest

    • @Fortunateis4luck
      @Fortunateis4luck 3 роки тому +46

      One would assume that making his closest female friend his love interest straightaway is a little cliched out.
      I’m not sure a romantic relationship, or the lack thereof, has anything to with how “non-stereotypically attractive” Akwafina’s character is.

    • @fazebooquifius3186
      @fazebooquifius3186 3 роки тому +48

      Akwafina is hardly unattractive anyway, and I think having a strong best friend relationship between a man and woman that isn't romantic in any way is more interesting and subversive than, "protag is attracted to someone who isn't an 11/10".

    • @vmaxlax
      @vmaxlax 3 роки тому +23

      Considering the characters have been friends for 10 years prior, it might feel forced for them to become love interest. I personally like that they kept it platonic opposite gender relationship rather than force romance into a movie that did not really need it.

Theres kids who aren't forced to eat once a day if not at all and don't have to wear a spring jacket in 30 degree winter. Theres kids who don't have insurance so if they break an arm or get sick the parents do a "home remedy". Even now my old school is feeding "breakfast mac and cheese" and encouraged the parents to make the students a lunch when school was the one place we knew our kids could have a meal
