You comparing it to the mcu versions, anything could be possible he could be out of his prime as well at that point in the hela episodeCome on, breh. This is the same Mandarin in Ancient China that was shown at the beginning of Shang Chi. What changed the timeline for this Mandarin is that he encounters Hela, the Hela that was shown in the flashback from Thor Ragnarok, except she gets her powers stripped from her and gets cast out like Thor did in Thor 1.
She is a mortal. But she gets taught how to bend wind from the benders in Shang Chi.
One could argue that the Mandarin in What If is weaker than the Mandarin in Shang Chi, cause he's younger and less experienced.
One could also argue that this is Odin in his prime (Hela says to Thor and Loki in Ragnarok "You know him when he got old and tired. I knew him in his prime") so he should be stronger here than he is in Thor 1, 2 and 3.
And yet, he gets his butt kicked by a mortal Hela and mortal Mandarin and some rings.
Come on, breh, you know the power scaling is off.
i did watch thor, the hela episode was essentially that and shang chi. That’s just my opinion thoughHe put an enchantment on Thor's hammer.
Yall really need to watch the movies.
