So I watched the latest MCU film: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Spoiler:Honestly, I kind of wish the movie was a little more grounded (I know this is Marvel, but still). The evil dragon didn't need to be the final boss of the film, because the main conflict between father and son was already interesting on its own and it could have been explored a little further. And has Hydra ever encountered the Ten Rings? Have they fought each other for control? Have they collaborated with each other? These questions need answers, hopefully they answer them in future films. And how did Katy Cheng became so good with the bow and arrow in just one day and with no prior experience? Unless she trained in the Room of Spirit and Time from Dragon Ball Z, there's no way she became that good in just a day. Abomination resembles the comic version and looks nothing like his film counterpart, meaning you'd never guess it's him without knowing his comic design. And wasn't he imprisoned in Alaska? Why is he with Wong? Hopefully they'll explain this too. Don't take me wrong, tho. Its good to see Abomination back after all these years. The origins of the Ten Rings (the objects, not the organization) will be explored in future films, as hinted by the post-credits scene. Speaking of the post-credits scene, Bruce Banner returned to his human form and his arm is still damaged. Guess what I heard its true: the damage Hulk suffered due to the Snap is gonna be permanent.
The fights scenes were pretty good. I like how Shang-Chi and Katy Chen have no romantic feelings for each other and instead they are just good friends. I think that's a little refreshing. And yes, it was confirmed as such before the release of the film: https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2021/08/19/s...iends/amp/
To sate the obvious: no, they didn't lie. Those two are just really good friends in the film.
