I’m glad Shang Chi is finally getting some recognition. Now I hope we see Iron Fist and Shang Chi in the same room
Hopefully they get finn jones back to play danny. great casting imo even if his show wasn’t great
@@jaimedrum he was really good. They seem to be using the Charlie Cox in the next Spider-Man movie so it could possibly happen. It's hit or miss because Marvel could overreact to the show being bad by recasting Finn when the actor wasn't really the problem
@@AllFlimmits it wouldn't be over reacting. People made finn quit Twitter. They attacked him personally
I dunno.. Finn Jones is just not believable as a martial artist to me. Simu Liu showed more form in this trailer alone, then Jones ever did throughout 3 whole seasons on Netflix. As an actor he's pretty good, but watching him stumble sloppily through that choreography was just excruciating.
Bruh talk about a showdown. Shang chi would win but I think it would be pretty close. With all of Shang chi’s knowledge knowing all martial arts gives him quite the upper hand
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
Rob: Talks about any dictatorial character.
Also Rob: “Is he wrong though?”
Valid question
I mean, to some of us, the dictator's argument sort of makes sense.
I think the best bad guys come from moral motives
@Radical Larry give them freedom and do corrupted things behind their backs or dictates them and do corrupted things in front of them
I think most people would be alright with a fair, just, and wise dictator. The issue is that people have an innate instinct to rebel against authority, even if good things are coming their way, and that its easier to be a corrupt dictator than a non-corrupt one.
That trailer took me from “I dunno a single thing about this guy” to “Gimme the goddamn movie right now!” Looks like Marvel’s A game for sure.
Eh, as a non-Marvel martial arts film I'd give it a look but I highly doubt they'll give us the same unf that we had with Ironman, Captain America, Thor.
Yea that's what happen 😆
Iron Fist flopped so I think this one won't be big
@@Mate397 people had those same doubts when the phase one films were being made though
@@khoamama88 well that Netflix's not exactly in the MCU and is not even canon now but still I am on the fence until we get more footage.
That trailer gave me Damian Wayne vives and how he was trained to take over the league of assassins
@kratos you know what I've thought about. Bruce was was set and trained to take over Ra's League of Assassians and was thier best fighter.
A chef would select someone to take over a bakery without them making a few cakes.
How many deaths happen during the batman’s training?
That Shang-Chi trailer was fire! Now I wanna see and learn about this man. Glad we get to see martial arts being use in the MCU
We already have. Cap, Widow, Hawkeye, Daredevil all use Martial Arts lol
@@GangstaStan010 True, but not to the extent where it's their signature style.
@@GangstaStan010 they're good but Shang-Chi is meant to be the best fighter so he's better at martial arts than all of them
@@GangstaStan010 So did Thanos. He actually used one of my favorite kenpo techniques, Five Swords, when he beat the crap out of the Hulk
@@rovertgraphsten5503 Oh I know. Just pointing out that MA has been featured.
I hope a version of the Iron Fist Tournament of Seven Cities of Heaven happens with Shang Chi down the line. That story was awesome.
Big facts especially when rob covered it!! Had me re watch at least 4 times
A highlight for Shang Chi for me, was when he helped Spiderman create his Spidey-Fu...before Marvel comics forgot spiderman knew kung fu.....
@Sivaguhan Jegatheeswaran He uses it against the Sinister Six as well I believe.
Thats bad ass to know!!
too bad he stopped using that fighting style as soon as he got his spider sense back
@@issy785 not actually he combine It
"You got it all wrong home slice" now that got me I haven't laughed so hard in life.
Same lol (classic Rob)
Indubitably.
~_~
Shang Chi was a hell of a series back in the day- looks like the movie will do it justice.
Gene Day will hopefully git MORE love & Xhi have a GREAT villain galley
We shall see how the movie turns out!!!!
What did u think about the movie?
Rob make things you don't know anything about so damn interesting. It's like a college course on comics lol.
Yea and he is giving us all the answers to pass any test 😆
He is a treasure.
If there’s one thing I know about Rob after being subscribed for the last 6 or 7 years is that if he got super powers he’d definitely be a villian 😭 possibly tyrannical too lol
But would you follow him?
@@williamruiz4571 personally I wouldn’t as our beliefs in some aspects don’t entirely align. He has some legitimate points about things sometimes but just bc their valid points don’t mean they’re the right points.
Rob wut r u doing with the infinity gauntlet
6:54 "you got it all wrong homeslice" LMAO
The 70’s comic literally sounds like Baki with extra steps lol
Lol
Ooh la la, somebody's getting laid in college
waiting for pp training
Lol yes morty
Jackson Wang made this song for the movie is hits hard
Jackson WANNGGG LMAOOO
Let's change his name to Johnson Wang 🤔
Who????
Rob on point with these relevant video uploads.
As an asian, I have been looking for this for a long time now.
Representation is awesome...
As a ginger, so have I.
As a hump back whale, me too😳🤔😂😂🤷
@@peewee3030 lmao nice
I really hope Shang-Chi leads us to IRON FIST film.
I just finished watching the trailer then this popped up in my notifications
Same here fam...and it was hardcore!!!
I know right thank you rob
Bro u always deliver .. 🙌 for someone like me that loved comics as a boy but never had money to buy them ( used to get kicked out for trying to read them in store haha) . And now as an adult not making time to buy and read em, while missing out on so many back stories you are my go too for sure. Much appreciated and good vibes sent ur way.
Letsss gooo This is the 1st lead role for a Asian American in Marvel and he is killing already! Can't wait to see this movie BLOW UP with love!
He’s Asian Canadian
@@maxwellhuang3726 even better!
Shang Chi teamed up with Black Panther & Luke Cage during Reginald Hudlin's run. They also address the name change to Shang Chi's father. Makes a good comical moment.
Literally nobody:
Marvel: BOOM! You looking for this?
Rob: Hold my Pym particle
Pretty hyped from what we saw in the teaser, it was great!
As someone who was reading the original Shang Chi comics as they came out, I can say you covered his origin well. Thank you. I doubt Marvel will tie Shang Chi to Fu Manchu, even if the copyright on him has expired. There is too much "yellow peril" baggage with that character. Even featuring the Mandarin will be problematic, having the same sort of pulp elements that just won't work well in the 21st century. They'll probably find a way to feature the ("real") Mandarin, but they'll pretty much have to throw his comic book history away. You mentioned that Jim Starlin was the original artist, but I always associate its art with the unique style of Paul Gulacy, the series' artist for a long run.
I guess it was beyond the scope of your essay, but Marvel had other martial arts characters in response to the kung-fu boom. People will be aware of Iron Fist, although unfortunately his portrayal on Netflix was .. lacking. (I don't care that he was white. The actor playing him was out of his depth, as were the show's writers.) A major difference between the two characters is that Iron Fist had supernatural elements, while Shang Chi is 100% good biology and training. Another Marvel martial arts title was _Sons of the Tiger_ a three-man team brought together by a mystical broken amulet of which they each wear a part. The three men consisted of a white-guy, a black-guy, and an Asian-guy. Eventually they were killed off, and another guy found all three pieces of the amulet and became his own hero, The White Tiger. Covering all the bases, he was Hispanic. To bypass the Comics Code, Marvel even had a b&w kung fu magazine featuring stories of all of these guys. The stories could be grittier, but I never considered them particularly gory or adult.
Iron Fist needs redemption put him in a Shang Chi sequel and give him a new Disney Plus show with a new actor that knows martial arts
Was looking for this since the trailer dropped.
Literally did the same thing until I had to go to work, just clocked out and found it so I'm excited!
Yeah!
After seeing the trailer, I was excited. Hope we'll see Iron-Fist in the film, or at least easter egg
Let's pray not, I want to completely forget about that Iron Fist atrocity
Brother, I just love your channel. Whenever I need to refresh my memories about these comic books I check your channel and the story is there. Great job man!!!!
Ironically I just finished watching the trailer 🔥🔥🔥
Just asked this a few hours ago and this dropped. You are THE BEST!!!!! Life is good.
Thank you so much for doing these! I’ve been a bit comic fan for many many years, and still, there are so many characters I don’t know much about!
Oh wow! You're really fast. Great timing for today's trailer! Excited to see a new character enter the MCU.
I saw the trailer earlier and I thought "I wonder if Rob has done a video on Shang-Chi". I willed it into existence
You are officially beyond omega level my guy
Good job nick you bitch sorry I have tourettes
“What if” mongul ruled sakaar instead of red king when hulk landed
“Mongul The Elder”
What if you went one video without posting this comment...
@@Wezt334 Same The comment is getting real tiring
Man I had every comic of the first however many years of the original run through the Paul Gulacy, Mike Zeck years all the Cat, Brynocki, Freelance Restorations stories, was one of my favorite books of the 70’s and 80’s
My fav: Gene Day
I love how the first thing Rob mentions is the fire trailer music. I now replay the trailer just for that song.
Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!
I've met a lot of women like his mother...
On the one hand, I'm beyond delighted that they're FINALLY including Shang-Chi in the MCU. (wasn't too thrilled that they granted him "mystical powers" or some such, as his story..? was made all the better in that he *didn't* have any mutant/magical/inhuman abilities; He was just a mortal man, one trained FAR beyond nearly anyone else.) I don't mind his upgrades now, but I'm an old school fan of the character. And he was bad ass without such abilities.
On the other..? I am MIGHTY disappointed that they never reclaimed the rights to the Rohmer characters. (Always did like those flashbacks Sir Dennis had, to his younger days and his history w/Shang-Chi's father.) Granted, i like the idea that the whole "Fu Manchu" persona was a front, concealing Zhen Wu, and keeping him from public scrutiny, (and as HUGE middle finger to Sir Dennis) but again, I'm a fan of the original work. Not to mention I do miss all those nods & winks Clive Reston gave out that he was the nephew of another Legendary British Hero - Namely "Bond. James Bond." (Seem to recall once that Bond's actual name was J.B. Reston. Not sure which arc that was, though...)
I am, however VERY happy that they seem to be using Shang-Chi's very own Rogue's Gallery of Villains. One was clearly in the current trailer! (Razor Fist.) Which gives me hope we'll see other such Villains such as Pavane, Zaran and others. (Heck, Shang-Chi has even run afoul of Dr. Doom once or twice. Certainly enjoyed his banter w/The Kingpin, when he teamed up with the X-men.)
For once, I am truly hoping it works! Fingers crossed.

The trailer was my first encounter for the character and I have to say I loved the trailer so much I think Shang chi could be my favorite character coming out of the new mcu era
I love how it always seems like you are going way off on a tangent, rambling way too long, but then it comes back and really puts things into context.
Great videos.
Shang chi was soo so good. I want to see the Ta lo universe explored too!
Deadpool's immortal actually comes from Thanos and the curse he put on him so he can't die and be with the female death that Thanos is always trying to bone. His healing factor isn't what stops him from dying 😂🤣
Lady death played them both.
@@nikkihorn3852 she definitely did lol
Bone a skeleton... ... ... ... ... ... ...
This gonna be dope. The direction of this film is a 180 from your typical Marvel movie and will be refreshing for sure. That being said we need more character introductions like this and more smaller scale scope films not always about saving the universe.
Rob said the music SLAPPED‼ Rob is hip with current slang. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯🤣
Yeah, I was a teen during this "Martial Arts Era". Bruce Lee, "Kung Fu" the show, Iron Fist, Men of the Dragon. I started studying martial arts, the whole 9 yrds. and of course Shang Chi was part of it. I don't expect too much out of movies these days, but I just hope they don't embarrass themselves, and with this character, any more than they have already.
That was fast. I see that you really wanted to do this video.Thank you for the content.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY USING "SLAPS" IN THE RIGHT CONTEXT!
Sincerely, a Bay Area native.
Great video, appreciate you sharing it!
Pheonix Force Shang Chi cool as heck wish they would have kept it as a permanent upgrade!
Yeah, at least like a fraction of it, Phoenix Fist Shang Chi vs Iron Fist?!?!
The whole point of Shang is that he doesn't have powers. Like Batman. He's just exceptional.
@@GangstaStan010 Y mean he's a Shang Chi-god?? ;-)
@@GangstaStan010 well it was super cool to see him take down hyperion without even moving
Incredibly excited to see him in the MCU. Shang-Chi has been one of my favorite Marvel characters for years. I own most of the 70's run which is still one of my favorite comic runs. The trailer looks great. I hope the movie has the same cultural impact that Black Panther had. The character deserves it.
cultural impact....youre talking about the made up place wakanda by the jewish comic writer ? its comic books nothing more stop looking at it so p.c. enjoy the story dont make it political
Lone wolf and cub, Zatoichi, Sonny Chiba and Akira Kurosawa movies... the BEST!! Highly recommend to anyone interested in classic Martial arts, Samurai, Ninja movies
I was hoping you would do this
I just watched the trailer and this pops up lol
It definitely slaps!! Fantastic trailer!
Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!
If Rob ever runs for office, I def know he isn't going to be fighting for personal liberties lol.
“What if” kratos obtained the power cosmic of silver surfer and went VS MARVEL Norse pantheon (Thor, Odin, Loki, etc)
Or DC Greek pantheon (Zeus, Wonder Woman, Hercules, ares, Hermes, etc)
(GOW3 All artifacts also)
Kratos wins and takes Wonder Woman as one of his concubines..
and does it without the Power Cosmic.
@@Guerrilla_Grodd love it 💯
Yes thank you! i saw the trailer and i was sooooo excited but for no reason lol
I knew Rob would come through
Now I am interested in this character. Fantastic job Rob!
Lol. Trap music makes you think of Wu Tang?
finally someone who uses "slaps" correctly. A man of culture
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual list is to invest in different stream of income that don't depend on the government to bring money especially now that the pandemic is hitting economy pretty hard.
Exactly fine words! I've heard all day.
Crypto has become a lucrative and profitable way of making money 💰
Yeah I think you're right, because no matter the stock market crash one needs to have a different portfolio, I already invested in Forex and Crypto which are really profitable.
The Future is all about investing in Crypto or Forex because it yield the best results.
I had interest in Investing in Forex and Crypto but I was discouraged by friends and family, I was being ignorant though.
wow, great video. thanks so much
LETS BEGIN!!!!
Rob I really enjoy how you brake things down beo
What about a vid on Fin Fang Foom ? i heard there may be some Dragon stuff in Shang Chi. That would be great, the creature had a good start you said in your vid about Beta ray bill. Would love to know more and see how Marvel adapt the serpent :)
Yeah I heard they were going to mix both the characters of Fin Fang Foom with the Mandarin so yeah I agree, some Foom history would be cool too.
ill definitely try that, thanks!
WHAT the hell was that alien squid thing on Shang's back at the end there!?! Hot damn!
Please do a top 10 Marvel hand to hand fighters pleaseeeeee
The way you explained that karate chop on a 90 year old man 😂😂😂😂😂
Im a big fan of your ~ORIGIN STORY VIDEOS~

Fantastic deep house track in the back ground.

That's kinda morbid rob laugh at him killing the old man 😆 lol
As I was finishing the trailer this popped up 🤣 nice timing Rob!
Very dope to see the origin finally, I needed that knowledge lol. Thanks, Rob!
Big fan of your work
My favourite comic as a child and one of the reasons I have spent the last 35 years learning Chinese martial arts, as for the step by step way marvel tried to give real ideas of kung fu is only from someone who has never learnt it
Can't wait to start my collection

Supreme Leader Rob, your Corp is ready.
Just watched the movie and its amazing. Choreography is top notch.
Shang Chi should have had a animated series back in the day.
I think the advantage of the Phase 1 superheroes is the fact that number of cartoons as far back as the 60s that they appeared in.
On point...trailer & music
Karate chop, Rob u r hilarious 🤣
Yo rob love you man
Opening line of this video 👍🏽 definitely agree that the beat slaps
Ive the trailer and I’m here for it all😭😭
Agree with good dictator theme. I was born in Yugoslavia and after war UK and US were afraid what president Tito will do, couse he was in "bed" with Stalin and during war took some orders from him but as the war ended he united Yugoslavia under "light" communism and didn't follow Stalin any more. We were very prosperous but 10 years after he died in 1990 Yugoslavia fell apart and we in Slovenia got our state with a minor skirmish. Sadly it was much worse for Bosnia Serbia and Croatia. But I digress. While Tito was in power (1945-1980) we flurished. That's why I can relate to a good dictator. Can't wait for the movie to come out
Just love the color and art style of the series! I still have a couple of this comic in an old box that I kept from my childhood.
Pretty interesting how it's gonna turn up. Not surprised they're not going with the original Fu Manchu lore for obvious reasons, but didn't expect him to be portrayed as a son to the Mandarin directly.
Love your vids Man!!!!
I havent seen many of your videos lately but im glad to see youre doing well!
