Shang-Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings (September 3, 2021, Destin Daniel Cretton) Movie • Page 5

looks like a higher production value version of the netflix shows. which i’m not mad about. it’ll probably be fine. gimme a few great hand to hand scenes.

 

I’m with it.

 

Ready for it!

 

Looks like a great time

 

The fights look amazing and anything with Tony Leung is worth watching.

 

I absolutely can't wait for this. Looks so good

 

Director Destin Daniel Cretton adds, "A character like Wenwu could have easily been a one-dimensional villain with no heart. Tony opened this character up [so] this is an antagonist who has a deep ability to love."

"I think people hear 'the Mandarin' and expect a very specific kind of thing, and that may not be the thing they're getting," producer Jonathan Schwartz explains. "They're hopefully getting a more complex and layered take on the character than that name would lead you to."

Exclusive: Simu Liu suits up in first look at 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'

 

Fight scenes look great and hopefully won't have the shakiest cam known to man like most of the MCU's fights.

 

So I’m pretty much blind when it comes to this character’s storyline, but is there only a comic series? Or is there an animated series I can watch to learn a bit? Seeing the Mandarin mentioned above this has my interest even more invested.

 

Reading comics isn't the hardest thing in the world tho

 

This looks like a ton of fun. I'm excited.

 

No definitely not. I’ve done it because of quite a few shows/movies, but I don’t think I appreciate them as much as comic fans. I’m much more of a show/movie type.

 

This looks great.

 

i'm all in on this one.

 

The original Master of Kung Fu #17 - 125 and Special Marvel Edition #15 & 16 are basically 95% of Shang-Chi’s story when it comes to the comics and most of it is written by the same person, so it’s pretty consistent and a good read. You can ignore the 2017 release of issue #126. The best part about it is the cover art.

The recent Shang-Chi #1 - 5 by Gene Yang is a good, but short run.

He doesn’t have any shows as far as I know.

 

With the Mandarin in the film there is bound to be at least a small connection to Tony Stark beyond the 10 rings kidnapping him.

 

Yeah I have literally zero background on this character or this story, so this should be interesting

 

thank you for this!

 

I just started reading comics a few months back and the new Shang Chi issue 1 is where I started (like you, I wanted to get to know the character). It was super easy to jump into and now I’m hella into comics. Not aware of his inclusion on any tv show so comics may be it.

The single issues are probably easy enough to find, especially digitally, but a trade containing all five is now available. Including Amazon link, but a local comic shop could get it in for you as well (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1302924850/?tag=absolutepunk-20)

 

If you can, find the Marvel Epic Collections of Master of Kung-Fu. Or the digital versions on Comixology. The epic collections always have soooooo many issues for the price. There’s two of them so far.

 

$90 for each of the four the Master of Kung Fu omnibi.

 

This looks so great. Very hyped for a Asian themed MCU movie with an all Asian cast.

 

Nothing about this did anything for me, but I'm definitely open to being surprised and get a great Asian lead.

 

trailer is so great
