There are tons of legendary Hong Kong actors in this, including Tony Leung. I think for me, the heart and most compelling part of the movie is the tragedy of Wen Wu. You can see in his eyes his sorrow, like when he hears that "We needed you, and you chose those damn rings" and his tears and shaking his head when Shang said "I wish that were true". The dragon and soul sucker I could care less about. To me this was the story of a Father who wanted to be strong and love his family and did it in all the wrong ways. I cried seeing him flash back to his son through the ages before he died.

One cool thing to notice is how Shang-Chi and his father used the Rings. His father WORE them and used them as an extension of his arms, controlling them because that is what he desired: Control. Shang-Chi used them in tandem with his fighting style. They floated around him. He didn't try to control them. He was one with them, like nature. Thus they were more powerful.

@@stancinatti8198 I disagree. Thor is god like so Shang chi could put up with a fight with the rings but will still lose. Without them he wouldn’t be able to put up a fight. Shang chi is currently the best hand v hand fighter in the MCU. So he could keep up with Black Panther even without the rings. With the rings he’s can beat Black Panther since Black Panther “power” isn’t just the suit but how he fights, so Shang Chi’s power with the rings is much greater than Black Panther. I think in the scope of things, Shang Chi with the rings is one level below everyone who has powers (so Wanda, Strange, Thor, Captain Marvel, etc), but is above MCU characters like hawkeye, black panther, etc. Without the rings he’s still best hand to hand fighter so he’d be maybe a level above Black Widow and Hawkeye.

@@BaddMedicine Wenwu’s past was horrible, but he did start a new and happy life with his wife and kids, he started to soften and change and actually wanted to grow old. He finally had true happiness and content with his life. Unfortunately, his past caught up to him in tenfold and his wife got killed by his many enemies. I understand his anger, frustrations, and most of all justice for his wife’s death. He turned to his 10 rings as well as control/power instead of dealing/grieving and being there for his kids. He also became cold towards his children especially towards his daughter, isolating her from training that the “men” and Shang-Chi had to do..mostly because she reminded Wen Wu of his late wife. Even if Shang-Chi and Xialing ran away and started their own lives apart from Wen Wu. As he said, he kept tabs on his children without them knowing anyways. So it was not like he was an absentee father, they just couldn’t deal with his expectations and the trauma they suffered being around their father. The family dynamics and issues as extreme as it is in the movie, is also very relatable in real life. Not everybody’s family is perfect..there will be issues, trust broken, death, and etc that shatters the family dynamics/closeness. But in the end, Shang-Chi and Xialing deep down really wanted to fix their family. If that means going against their ruthless and powerful father, so be it. I also felt so bad for Wen Wu being manipulated and fooled by the dweller-of-the-darkness to open the Dark Gate. Wen Wu’s weakness is his wife/family and opening up that wound made him desperate to re-write the past especially with his wife’s death. If not in the human form, he can save her in the spirit form/after life that’s why he was so determined/focused in getting to her. Nothing else matters, even with those soul suckers coming out of the gate.. he didn’t care..his wife’s voice clouded his mind and wanted to open that gate. It really took a huge battle against Shang-Chi, taking off the rings, and Shang-Chi trying one more time to genuinely asking his father that THE FAMILY NEEDS HIM. You instantly saw Wen Wu’s eyes soften and full of sorrow or any time he hears his wife’s voice..you can tell Wen Wu still had that good side of him and cherishes his family. He would also felt guilt, grief, and sadness of his wife’s death and his children running away from him. Rest Easy Wen Wu, you didn’t have the best past..but you did experience true love and happiness with your wife and kids. You ended your long life, protecting your family and that in itself is redemption.

4:45 As an Asian American, this whole conversation was all too real. 5:30 The passenger streaming the bus fight was previously seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming as a street vendor who asks Spidey to do a flip. Even having background players return helps sell how connected and lived in the MCU has become. 6:32 No it's not intentional. You're just really jonesing for No Way Home. 8:24 Everyone catches the Extremis fighter but no one notices his opponent is one of the widows from Black Widow. Since she has enough free time to fight in a underground fight club, I guess their mission to free the other brainwashed assassins was a success(?). 14:13 Don't know if you were aware of it but we actually saw the Ten Rings break Trevor out of prison in an MCU short film called All Hail the King. 16:26 All the creatures are taken straight out of Chinese mythology. Many cultures have their own takes on the phoenix, nine-tailed fox, chimera, and foo dog/guardian lions (I guarantee you've seen the latter in statue form if you've ever been to your city's Chinatown/J-town/Chinese restaurant/etc). Although, from what I can tell, Morris' species (Hundun) seem to be unique to Chinese mythology. 24:25 There are moments in the fight that directly mirrors the one at the beginning which further showcases Shang-Chi's duality of his parents. There's even a cultural duality in that his outfit has this mystical Chinese warrior design with a predominant infinity symbol on his chest yet he's still wearing Air Jordans which represents his American side. 24:31 Speaking of eyes, to further cement Shang-Chi and Xialing's connection to Ta-Lo, the Great Protector's eyes were modeled directly off the actress who plays their mother. 24:40 Perhaps a reason Morris is so lovable is that he's based off of the director's dog so we recognize many of the same adorable traits. 27:58 Wouldn't call it falling in love. That's a trope this film seems to sidestep.

There's a deleted scene that makes the whole storyline about the mother's death more clear. But the ambiguity is interesting. Basically Ying Li dies because of a gang that Wenwu had a previous fight with. So they want revenge for one of the numerous things he's been responsible for over the years, which is why Shang Chi blames his father. His father though blames himself because he didn't use the ten rings anymore and he had disbanded his empire. In his mind he could have kept his family safe if he hadn't given it all up. It's why he goes right back to building his empire and wearing the ten rings.

FYI, every one of the creatures we saw in Ta Lo are derived from actual Chinese fairytales and myths. Morris & friends are Hundun, the phoenixes are Fenghuang, the deer-dragon creature is Qilin, nine-tailed foxes are Huli Jing, big lions are foo dogs or Shishi (stone lions). I think they're all detailed in the Disney+ 'Assembled' show, there's an episode dedicated to Shang Chi. Loved the movie. Biggest gripe is I wish Death Dealer (guy in blue outfit and white mask) was a bit more in the film. I was hoping there'd at least be an epic 1-on-1 fight at the end, given this guy 'trained' (tortured) Shang Chi for likely years as a child.

The choreography was awesome,Specifically with the Opening fight with Wenwu and his Wife,and the chilidhood Training Sequence of Shang and Sister. If I could critique a few things though it would first be starting with removing the ending dragon battle and keep it in between Shang-Chi and Wenwu relationship and personal battle and fight,Similar to classic Martial Arts Films of the past. Second,my favorite moment where Shang has the training flashback of it being beaten Into him to kill his enemies,resulting in him being stopped from killing his Childhood Trainer by his Father. We needed more of those moments in the film where he deals with the results of Essentially being trained as all his life as a Child Assassin.

The only "comic book" movie in my top 5 all time is Dark Knight, and that's because it really wasn't a comic book movie at all.

Even though Shang Chi came first more people know iron fist more so the changes they made to him were different and nice and don't make people think of him as Chinese Iron fist such as taking away his yellow powers and turning it into the ten rings and also making his dad the mandrin which he isn't in the comics and many other things. They also changed his influence, Shang Chi is inspired by Bruce Lee but in the movie he is obviously inspired by Jackie Chan and there are many many other changes but I think they were all for the better

The choreography was done by the late Bradley Allen, Jackie Chans disciple and member of the formers stunt team. Death Dealer( the assassin in the mask) was played by Andy Le, main member of the KZfaq stunt team Martial Club. Fun Fact #2: The older man from Ta Lo who got killed is Yuen Ta, a former member of the "7 Little Fortunes". They were a circus troupe that was the top performers of the everso elite Peking Opera Theater.

It is really great that you guys are reacting to this movie. I saw it online and it was truly epic. If you have researched and learned on who Shang-Chi is from the Marvel Comics Universe here it is. If you have heard of him, I apologize, if not, then that's alright. Shang-Chi is Marvel's version of Bruce Lee (not a knockoff version which is disrespectful), who was inspired and modeled after one of the greatest master martial artist in history, and made his first appearance and debut on December 1973, 5 months after Bruce Lee's death. Shang-Chi (Earth-616) is the greatest martial arts grandmaster and hand-to-hand warrior in the Marvel Universe. He was trained since birth by his evil father Zheng Zu (leader of the Five Weapons Society) and many other masters and teachers to be the greatest and ultimate perfect living weapon, both mentally, physically, and spiritually. However, when he was 19 years old after completing his training and he learnt and realized that his father is purely evil after completing his first assignment, he defected for good and became his father's enemy to fight him and his society. He is a human being who has no superpowers (he had a number of former superpowers throughout his years of adventures temporarily, but not anymore), but his training in Chinese martial arts primarily and virtually all the other different disciplines, both physically, mentally, and spiritually are considered to be his superpowers which allows him to take down many highly skilled opponents simultaneously as well as superhumans. He can also channel and control his own natural chi, similar but different to Iron Fist, but inferior. He is ranked no.1 as Marvel's Top 10 Martial Artists. He isn't just Marvel's greatest martial artist, he is a philosopher and a teacher or master to many of the Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man and Wolverine.

I read many Chinese novels, and all these Chinese powers and mythical creatures have fascinated me a lot. I just hope Hollywood would just make Chinese martial arts movies (wuxia etc) with millions of mythical creatures. Context: - White animal was many tails fox (9 tails being most) - The horse type thingy was a Qillin - Dragon was a water dragon, hence it had waterpowers, so it when it got its soul back, it went down near water to use its power again. - The martial art used by Sheng Chi and family is mostly the Tai Chi but I am guessing, it might have some different name (in chinese mythology they have random million names)

Well, the film has been widely discussed on China social media, and we don't quite understand why it has become popular abroad. Almost all ppl around me was disappointed because the two actors looked very ordinary according to Chinese aesthetics,They even said that they were not interested in seeing the film after seeing the actors hahaha. And why always dragon? The dragon is indeed the king of beasts in the myth system of China, but it is more a riding tool and does not have a high status.
