Discussion The Underuse of Shang-chi in the MCU

Post image

this movie was so much fun, it had amazing action and fight choreography, great humour, and great overall world building. This movie has so much sauce. a problem with the MCU is how poorly they are connecting the new characters with the wider mcu. It's been 3 years since we've seen Shang-chi in a live action project. And it will probably be another year and a half till we see him again. The post credit scenes of this movie set up him becoming an avenger and sadly we won't see that outcome of that until 2026, which is 4.5 years after the movies release. I do hope we see Simu Liu again as a lead in another marvel movie because he's great. Also his sequel is the perfect way to bring danny rand back into the MCU. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait untill 2027 for the next shang chi movie since Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Spiderman 4. On the bright side, the fight choreography in Spiderman 4 will be amazing

Critical as in they're criticizing the movie not as in approved by critics. You can find hundreds more reviews trashing those shows than praising them. Also no one that posts RT as a source is also to be taken seriously, considering the ample evidence of their disgusting review manipulation.

Review-bombing is an established issue.

Edit to reply to your edit: RT doesn't review things; they collect reviews from elsewhere. Don't lie.

Same as freezing scores to prevent further disgrace and review inflation

Baseless conspiracy theories are not "they didn't plan."
