At the same time, Disney has made it official that Cretton is returning to write and direct the sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

A Disney+ Shang-Chi prequel all about Wenwu fucking up people in 90s Hong Kong. Do it.

Great news! Loved Shang-Chi. Really looking forward to the sequel and everything else he has planned with Marvel Studios.

A Shang Chi show could be cool.
The lower budget would probably make them focus more on the fun martial arts and less on the CGI orgy of the second half of the movie.

Dude's ego flopped harder than this painfully average Marvel flick.

All the financial success in the world can't buy you a decent character. As such Simu Liu remains an insecure b*tch on his twitter feed.

What's the opposite of imposter syndrome? I think the dude has it.


Ohhh I know, he's like Nathan from Ted Laso! First we rooted for him, but now we see he's just a broken child on the inside with major daddy/praise issues and we all hate him.

He is creating his own enemies in his head

So yep, Nate. Has to be the victim, and when he's not he artificially creates them.

Nah, heaps of people were saying this would flop because no one cared about an F grade Asian super hero that was apparently targeted at China.

Must have missed all that. All I ever heard was China hated it.

It was a decent fun typical Marvel movie. Isn't half of the MCU less popular characters (not X-Men, F4)?

Shang-Chi and Eternals didn't play in China because Simu and the Eternals director both had anti-CCP statements and video interviews. JUST FOR THAT, they get all my money! Frak the CCP!

Never fear, with the Beijing 2022 Olympics coming up, virtually no social media celeb is gonna be able to appease America AND China simultaneously. This guy will suicide his account no doubt.

He was the worst thing about an otherwise "not bad" movie. Zero charisma, and zero acting talent...

Eh, he did alright. His problem (in the film) is that he is 32 but looks 45. He is ageing worse than Jeremy Renner. Awkwafina has the same issue. She is supposedly just out of her 20's but wow.....the mileage was rough!

Simu Liu has always had an old face. Some people just look older than they are. Still... for the most part, After black folks, Asians look younger than they are well into their 50s.

You'd think getting to play the hero on a national stage and raking in millions would be enough to assuage the internet trolls living rent-free in your head, but it must be easier said than done. For some of us anyway.
