Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (September 3rd, 2021)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I wonder if the Matrix will play in China. The whole series is about people under a system of control. That sounds like China. They even have the martial arts and crazy fashion over there too.

I would think The Matrix would appeal to the Anime culture... but I really don't know if its popular in Asia. Judging from HT's lack of interest, seems The Matrix is not something they care about.

China just released a statement it says…

“Hollywood for all of those years that you pandered to us we showed our gratitude with a pandemic that shut down your industry and as a continued appreciation for making the first asian superhero we will like to announce that his movie will not be allowed in our country and a kind reminder that NOT EVEN during a global pandemic, that we actually unleashed unto the world, was the great United States of America even capable of manufacturing a single face mask made of paper we had to make it for you and for Simu Liu so sorry our asian american friend but no Avengers for you choose your words wisely next time Mr. Jake Chan too bad so sad lol”

China may consider playing the new Matrix....

That is until they look into the history of it's Directors. The Wachowski sisters.....

If China is truly looking for less effeminate men, then the filmmakers will definitely give them pause.

So Asians don't like to be labeled incorrectly as in Korean/Chinese/Japanese, but the first Asian that lives in Canadian leads an American Marvel movie which represents all Asians?

The best part is that while China will no longer release the MCU movies over there they will still make my hoy toys of them

No Avengers for the first asian superhero too bad so sad lol

Notice that when the movie ended it said the Ten Rings will return and not Shang-Chi, lol.

Marvel just updated the tag line…

The Ten Rings will Return in Avengers 5….once we find a Shang Chi replacement with pro communist views.

As for Simu Liu you can catch him on the upcoming Kim’s Convenience Reboot Web Series on AOL.com.

I did finally see this on IMAX last night (can't wait for the fully cropped home release ) and did think it was quite fun. I browsed some of the reviews here and agree with jye. Much better than Mortal Kombat, Mulan, and Black Panther but pales compared to Crouching Tiger or IW/EG. It really felt like it would have been right at home in 2014 since some of it reminded me of both TWS and GOTG. Absolutely jaw dropping visuals (those dragons!!) which will be all but ruined when 33% of the image is cropped at home.

One thing that I was a complete ***** about was watching Tony Leung in all the flashback scenes. I kept thinking wow they really made no effort to have his age match the flashback until he called the old dude "young man." Then I was like oh **** he's freaking immortal, way to follow the plot Khev they only mentioned that like 50 times.

Anyway I actually don't mind including this in the Infinity Saga canon but man I really am getting quite numb to save the world/universe plots. So the one dragon was seconds from swallowing the other dragon's soul and conquering the world. Ho hum, lol.

Eternals trailer looked even worse on IMAX, lol.

What was the point of those village warriors that were guarding the gate for centuries, they sucked. Even the trees surrounding the village were more competent guardians, lol.

Holy crap they really were thank god for that door made of magical dragon scale lol

They specifically said that only someone with the 10 rings could open the gate yet the entire village let him just walk right past them while focusing all of their attention on his minions that had no chance of opening the portal. And then to make matters worse they ended up getting defeated by those very same non-threatening minions, lol.

A hundred archers who spent their lives training for that moment and the girl who'd never held a bow and arrow was the only one to shoot at the actual threat, lol.

And that was Abomination right? He and Wong are suddenly sparring buddies?? What the hell did I miss there, was there a scene in Black Widow that explained that? What's next the Eternals will have a scene where they walk past Red Skull and Shuri playing checkers, lol.

So cynical! Obviously it'll be chess not checkers, and Shuri will be overheard saying "checkmate" while RS looks completely befuddled.

I get that Abomination will be part of Ross’s Thunderbolts down the road but the part I didn’t get was why Wong was allowed to remove him from the Raft prison for friendly MMA fighting lol
