    The future of Marvel remains a mystery and the world of Shang-Chi is no different. We know TOO MUCH for me to not suspect that some gigantic surprise is awaiting us in the movie. We know about The Mandarin and the Ten Rings. So what, Theorists, is the movie hiding? I have the answer but you will have to watch to find out!

      Well remember at the end they said the rings are wayyy older than we were told, and the way space and irl time travel (lightyears) work it could very well belong to alien. Or dragon.

      Basically it isn’t impossible for two different animals to have children. Albeit rare. It makes sense that a lion and a tiger can have a infertile child however it starts to become iffy when some like a zebra and a lion have a child. Genetics is everything I guess.

The BIG bad was indeed a giant dragon-like creature although it was never confirmed in the movie where the rings originated. The first end credit scene hints at this but just says that they act like a beacon soooo there’s still a chance MatPat is right about Fin Fang Foom.

  • @BlazingViolet92

      That’s actually probably a representation of the relationship between China and Japan in pre-modern times rather than a cultural thing.

    The Ten Rings' lore is actually related to dragons. They are said to be rings worn by fallen warriors of a dragon race called Makluans. Mandarin got hold of the rings from a crashed Makluan spaceship, where they were being used to power the spaceship. The Makluans are attributed to be the reason behind old England and Chinese legends about dragons. In the comics, if Mandarin uses the rings for extended periods of time, his arm becomes scaly and dragon-like.
