Shang-chi is the best thing in Phase 4 so far, but it's still mid. I'm including the shows too.
mid mcu i mean
Bro Shang Chi was fire and was fresh and new and a property most casuals know nothing about. This movie was mid pack
Only thing Casuals knew about Mandarin was the Iron Man thing hence they included it in Shang Chi as a joke.Casuals knew about the mandarin and the 10 rings.
I went in extremely nervous that marvel was gonna miss
and I actually was pleasant surprised, I loved it.., excited to see how the future of the characters play out in the future
It was solid. Not great. My biggest gripe is, this honestly didn't need to be made. Like this is a totally skippable movie in the Marvel Universe. No other Marvel movie is skippable, even Thor 2 (maybe Ironman 3 is skippable); and I know many of us didn't watch it including me; but then we were confused about Ragnarok which directly lead to Endgame. This doesn't setup anyone. I wish it told us more about Phase 4, Phase 5...X-Men, F4, because we know the future of the MCU is galactic yet nothing establishes that yet...Spiderman 3 is supposed to??? Don't get me wrong Spiderman 4 is probably gonna be the best MCU movie since infinity war, but Spiderman 3 will probably be able to stand alone as it's own movie too.
I just came back from seeing it
I dont see what the criticism was about- I enjoyed it
Like you, I walked in like....ut ohh...this maybe a miss but I thought the action was good, thought most of the actors did a good job
its definitely better than Venom trash
btw. hulk is the most skippable movie in the MCU (so far ....)
