      Found this out very recently but a lot of the camera work was done by Chris Cowan who is a huge anime fan. What's even more wild is he started out on CZcams and has been uploading anime fights for like 10+ years and you can literally track his camera work getting better. Most recently he did a "live action my hero academia" series of videos. You can see all his work under RivenX3i! It's crazy inspirational seeing where he started out and watching his work evolve over the years.

    Honestly, my theory: Wenwu could've lived, had he decided to do so. Since the power of the rings grant him immortality, he could just hang on to his soul/eternally extend his soul, but after realizing what he's done, especially to his children, and even perhaps how Shang's worthy, he gave up the rings. Basically, he had some "my time has come" moment.

    Remember the sister said, if her father won’t let her in his empire, she will create her own empire. I don’t think Shang-Chi knows that Xialing didn’t dismantle the ten rings operation LOL! Anyways, she probably merged her underground fighting club and the 10 rings organization. That’s why she has Jon Jon and razor fist as her left/right hand men, whether if they are on the good side or bad side that’s the question LOL! Again I don’t think Shang-Chi knows she’s continuing operations..so that is content for the next movie. Xialing goes on her own path, that’s why she’s such a bad ass chick! She probably will play with both the bad and good sides depending if it will benefit her operations or not.

    Here’s what all the mythical creatures are:
    Fenghuang: associated with the western mythological Phoenix but not synonymous. The Fenghuang is usually paired with the Chinese dragon as symbols of Yin and Yang, they represent harmony, political prosperity and world peace.
    Imperial Guardian Lions: Also called Shishi or foo dogs, symbols of protection which is why they are featured on shrines often.
    Morris: Morris us known as a Hundun or Dijiang, a creature with no face, two butts four wings and six legs. Cute as they are, Chinese mythology associates these creatures with the personification of cosmogonic chaos.
    Huli Jing: the nine-tailed fox ‘referred to as Kitsune in western mythology and did inspire the creation of Ninetales in Pokémon’ is known for shape shifting abilities and can either be good or bad, though mostly appear in times of prosperity.
    Qilin: also known as ‘Kirin’ in western mythology, this horse-dragon hybrid are symbols of peace, kindness and benevolence and are often depicted behind symbols of authority.
    I like studying mythical creatures from Asia because there are so many cool creatures and seeing the differences in designs and names between China and Japan is cool too. I hope you’ve all enjoyed learning something as well.

    For me the story hits home, being Vietnamese American, the way Shang-chi hides from his heritage/culture then embraces is super relatable. To see this story portrayed in an MCU movie, it for sure inspired and empowered myself and I’m sure other Asian. Also huge Simu fan, only referred to him as Jung (his character from Kim’s) but now he has solidified himself as Shang-chi.

    I have a theory: When the first time Shang chi's mother met with Wenwu, it was not coincidence, Wenwu is her mission. Wenwu had used the power of the ten rings to do many bad things throughout history. Shangchi's mother is coming from a place called Talo, which is the place where the group of honorable people guard and keep the world away from the darkness. I think originally her mission is to stop the Wenwu to using the power of the ten rings no matter how, and somehow, eventually she fallen love with him.

      Conversely, one might argue that Wenwu could have been trying to bring her defenses down by getting to know her at first, until she trusts him enough to reveal how to get to Talo. But in the process, he genuinely fell in love with her as well and decided to live a peaceful life with her instead. Have a family and all

    The late great Brad Allen who was one of Jackie Chan’s students worked on the choreography for this movie which is why it looks so damn awesome. I would love to see Jackie Chan’s reaction to this movie and what he thought of Simu Liu’s performance, especially since Simu said that he never trained in martial arts and only did a little stunt work before this movie. I’m certain that if Simu was brought to Jackie’s attention when Simu was younger he would have brought him onto his stunt team as one of his students.

    The scene where Wenwu told the old archer "I've lived 10 lifetimes more than you" (or something like that).

    if you have seen the series "Marvels Assembled Season 1 Episode 6": The making of Shang Chi, it's an hour long behind the scenes, and a lot will be explained throughout the movie... and each main character has their own say about this movie which is quite beautiful.... seeing Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung behind the scenes and interviews is quite an eye candy...they really love what the are doing here which shows in the movie because all of them have great chemistry... especially that all of them; the director actors are a big fan of Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung.

    I just realised that the scene where they lighted up the lantern (?) thingy for funeral, the dad was included which could be a callback when he said he wanted to live in Ta Lo with their mother but the villagers said he wasn't worthy. In my view, him giving up immortality to live with his wife was another form of selfishness considering how many lives he has taken throughout his life, but him giving up his life for his son was what made him worthy to be accepted in Ta Lo.

    I think when Wenwu took off the rings to live happily with his wife, he also retired the organisation. That's probably why his place wasn't guarded when people came after his family while his was gone. It also explains why the Ten Rings were no where to be seen after the first Iron Man movie. They only reappeared after the events of Iron Man 3 and made a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo in the first Ant-Man movie.

      Seems pretty clear they’re setting him up to be just that. All the marketing focused on him beginning the “new era” and being your new “favorite Avenger.” Falcon as the new Cap will also have to be a key player of course. They’re gonna take their sweet ass time to put enough distance from Endgame on it, but eventually there will be a new Avengers movie.

      Oh, now I’m seeing how it was a big mistake to show way too many of these side characters in the meantime after that. Not that any of them are that bad, which some aren’t really great, and I like Miss Marvel. But doing it just willy-nilly like they did kinda does them dirty. Thor 4, like it or not ( has a little to like, and plenty to really not), and even GOTG 3 (which I do like), pretty much created extra conclusions for old characters, and even when they doesn’t do that for older characters, they very clearly didn’t figure out what to do with them yet, even when they seem to have a lot of ideas for the new characters actually meant to be the main players. Some of the new players are even popular old characters rebooted, and even classic Marvel characters! Damn, why didn’t they start with these from the get go, or wait to start making movies so you use these characters? You wouldn’t be considered in a slump just because you took a break!

    The moment you take the rings off you begin your aging process again. That is why when Wenwu fell in love he felt that he had meant someone who was worth growing old for, which requires him to take off his rings. Thus he began his aging process, but then once he puts them back on to avenge his wife, he halts his aging process again.

    I don’t know if anyone noticed but Shang-Chi has a mixture of both his mother and father’s fighting styles. The elbow he hit the assassin with on the bus ( 12:43 ) is the same elbow the father hit him with in their final fight ( Not featured in reaction ). Also the over head kick that Wenwu hit Shangchi with after dodging the staff sweep ( 53:51 ) is the same one that Shang-Chi hit Wenwu with after procuring half the rings ( 1:00:03 ). Then obviously the Ring Convergence technique Wenwu used after shoving them into the ground (1:00:10 and 1:00:12) Then Shang-Chi using the same technique on the Dweller ( 1:05:00 and 1:05:02 ) I just noticed the same choreo and I love how it lends to how Shang-Chi is a combination of both his father and mother.

Best cinematography in the MCU, or among the best. The characters were very well written, and the story itself was pretty good. I'm still processing Eternals (liked it, but it was totally different from I was expecting), but I've loved the other 2 MCU movies we've got this year (Black Widow and Shang-Chi).
