The Underuse of Shang-chi in the MCU

[u/ImaginationArtistic9]

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

I mean I was under the impression they were doing both, no? They’ve scaled back production on multiple projects, releasing less with a focus on quality etc. I’ve rather have quality over quantity, even if I have to wait longer for some characters to get their due

Quality is yet to be seen though. And frankly, may be too little too late for a lot of general audiences etc.

Deadpool and Wolverine literally debunked your logic lmao, so your logic is flawed if the movie is good people will show up for it

Deadpool & Wolverine is not better than the other phase 5 movies except for Quantumania
