Maybe it’s because I feel like I’ve seen this movie a million times before. How about something new? Is it just me or does this look like a guy who doesn’t want to be like his mean dad, suddenly forced to be like his dad. But he’ll do things different.

Wasn’t that Thor? Wasn’t that Iron Man? Wasn’t that a shit ton of other movies? Wasn’t that the Godfather? Why did Marvel make this movie? Get some of those Chinese dollars? Is the answer that simple? Is this Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings of pandering? That’s how it looks.

Side note. Take “Legend” out of the title. It assumes a lot. Like with a legit legend, people have heard of it. Like the legend of Bigfoot. Legend of Loch Ness. There is no legend of the ten rings. So don’t try to tell me there is. It makes me not like it already because you think you’re so cool, you gave yourself legend status. So lose the “legend.” Don’t assume we care. Even George Lucas didn’t slap an “Episode 4” on Star Wars until he knew he was doing an episode 5.

So Marvel, might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself.
