Trailer: Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings

I dont know much about sha g chi but this looks like it will be a dope martial Arts flix. America hasn't had anything dope martial arts wise since jet li some I'm on board. To those familar with the source material does any of this the into iron fist? Is their a mysticism to shang chi? Wasn't this thise master of kung fu comics from the 70's?
Hes been part of the Heroes for Hire they have history together
 
I'm well versed in most things Marvel, but who dis cat?

Hmmm.... a tall Asian with muscles?
Looks like Hollywood is trying create a new visual narrative by washing away the stereotypical old ones (save the kung and all, lol). Good for them!

Master Of Kung Fu was inspired by (some could say ripped off) and designed to capitalize off the Bruce Lee kung fu craze in the 70s. Shang Chi very well may be the first Asian comic hero in the US. Thanks Bruce!!


I have this issue and it was a cool story.. I see they have one of them in the show and turned him into a white guy...anyone gonna complain??

Read rage of ultron..start to finish you will understand what ultron really is and why pym created it.also pym is a genius in damn near every field.not just pym particles.
Facts!! That's the one thing that erks me about some movies. Some characters have been diminished to mere shadows of themselves.

I think cause robert downey junior had a damn good contract and crowd reaction..tony stark was THE super genius up front.he carried the mcu.plus the ultimate version (which the mcu is based on) hank pym used to get drunk and slap wasp around.

:lol:

Sleep on hank pym if you want..616 hank pym is a G.the mandarin too..

in the comics tony stark was an alcoholic who at one point lost stark international to Obadiah Stane in a hostile take over AND his alcoholism was the reason rhodey had to take over as iron man... in fact for a period of time in the comics rhodey was iron man...then stark recovered and because he did such a good job in the suit stark made an ironman suit for rhodey and thats how war machine came to be.

it was a great story arc that was never even hinted at in the MCU...I don't think they ever established that stark has a drinking problem in the movies. I assume its because RDJ is a real life recovering addict and it may hit too close to home tho..

Not a popular opinion but I like the MCU versions of Ironman creating Ultron and The Mandrian being Shang Chi's main villain...

It always seemed crazy that Pym know for Pym Particles created a self aware A.I. robot called Ultron...

And Starks, who created, arc reactors, Nanotech, multiple A.I.'s and Robots, was fighting an alien Dragon....
in the comics Shang Chi big nemesis was his father Dr. Fu Manchu im not sure how well that flies in todays age but much of his recurring issues was with his father.

True, but don't forget Reed Richards is gonna be up In the MCU soon !
 
It looks kinda cool but too bubble gum. It should be more gritty.
Awkafina is so annoying. Should have been a cuter chick.
Big moon faced bitch.

Actually Stark's history was hinted at in IM1 and shown in IM2 when Tony got Dunk at the party and fought Rhodey... Then Rhodey took his suit and had Justin Hammer militarize it...

IM2 took elements from Demon in a Bottle and Armor Wars...

And yeah Fu Manchu wouldn't fly well...

That's why the MCU is giving Shang Chi, IMO, a better background with the Mandarin as his father...

I give credit to Marvel (Disney) for rebranding these characters. There's a reason why these 70s era superheroes
never survived their fads.

Disney is just doing it to get into the Chines market, but it is still good to see heroes of color on tv.

The downside is you wont ever see an Chinese villian in any of these movies or China wont allow the movie in their theaters.

when people say gritty what they mean is a lot of blood. Its a middling comic title and by middling I don't just mean in popularity but in presentation...tho action packed..it wasn't a blood soaked comic so the live action is in line with that.

Yea I remember as a kid reading iron man when he had the triangle display on his chest..dude got off a mission and started getting drunk immediately.then he get back in the suit drunk and just did dumb shit at high speeds.

i was like :eek2:

Iron man got problems son..that's another reason robert downey junior was good for the role.
 
Yeah. Kinda. The customs look too clean and plastic. The actors faces look like they wearing make up. It aint "real".
Thor and Ant Man was like that too but this movie is looking extra clean and a bit corny.
We will see.

OK, We forgave ya'll for Iron fist

but you better not let that sh*t happen again.


Yeah, that shit was trash from the minute they cast the lead. But to be fair Feige had nothing to do with it.

And now that I think back on those shows, the HUGE problem with almost all of them is none of the characters looked realistic in fights. JJ wasn't a fighter per se so she was okay but the rest looked stiff as boards. Except for Charlie; that's the main reason his show was so good.

the fights were offensive

and NOT in a good way

and made NO SENSE ESPECIALLY as compared to Daredevil

every season had a classic hallway sequence

so good?

it became a trademark of the show and was IMITATED by many other shows.

This movie looks so well choreographed, shot and edited just off the TRAILER.
 
I really hope they give Iron Fist another crack, Iron Fist was pretty much a joke character to comic book readers the series got that right at least, the brubaker run fixed all that and went deeper into the history of Iron Fist definitely check that out, they also expanded the powers of iron fist Danny is barely using the power of the dragon


Nah. At this point, we have to start looking at fatigue. Too many characters, too many movies will kill the golden goose. Fist is okay as a TV show, possibly a cameo or two in a movie but I don't think he's a moneymaker at the box office.

Word is the entire Daredevil cast will be coming to the big screen and that's great - but also another hero in the mix. Would be fantastic if they could get Bernthal as Punisher too. But again, another hero. DD is a well-liked character so no problems there. So is Punisher. Fist not so much.

Remember what Mordo said.
