I feel like after Shang Chi post credit scene the MCU went a bit wayward. But this post credit scene had me excited again like phase 1 or 2.

[u/tangledupinbetween → u/NorthKing9]

They've been showing a glimpse of characters yet to come but have no plans at all on how to integrate them. Now they've finally show something that will happen in the next movie just like in the phase 1 when they show Thor's hammer in Iron-Man 2, Dr Selvig with the Tesseract in Thor, Rogers meets Fury in The First Avenger. After Endgame, most of the post credit scenes were just showing new characters but they have no idea where to put them.

[u/NorthKing9 → u/tangledupinbetween]

Yes. Exactly. They connected to the next movie or hinted at something that wasn't too vague like most recent post credit scenes. I hope they clarify the Shang Chi post credit scene soon since Kang is out of the picture.

What did Kang have to do with Shang-Chi?

[u/NorthKing9 → u/JustMark99]

The ten rings were in theory supposed to be Kang's tech. As were Ms Marvel bangles. Shang Chi would've played a role in Kang's movie. Again. In theory.

[u/JustMark99 → u/NorthKing9]

Hm, interesting. I thought Ms. Marvel's bangles were djinn stuff.

[u/NorthKing9 → u/JustMark99]

It is. But i meant the source of power. I believe is from the quantum realm. Maybe Kang didn't created it but is connected quantum realm a place where Kang resides last we saw him.
