[@GenerationWest]

I love the redesign, the way they use the rings, was expecting different powers (and they thought about it), but making it skill based was the better option.

[@pain2573]

They could still make the rings do different things. Its like a caveman taking a loaded shotgun and swinging it like a bat. Wenwu and Shang-chi are definitely more powerful than other people but are they using these rings correctly? What if they can manipulate elements? Instead of introducing that in the first movie we can find out in the sequels.

[@holup454]

@@pain2573 that’d be cool but I feel like they’d have to make it make sense as to why wenwu didn’t figure it out in the thousand years he had them

[@JakeYolk]

They made them different so they weren't so similar to the infinity gauntlet/stones I believe

[@antona.1327]

Makluan rings are objectively better than the clunky, bad looking iron rings, which are only limited to projectile attacks. Outside of being simply better looking and slick (since you can actually move your hands while wearing them without making it sound like you're shaking a bag of nickels), but their powers are energy-based, and energy is variable and visually more interesting than just boring projectile attacks. And as for the skill, the Mandarin is one of the best martial artists in the comics. That's his skill. He has both physical and ethereal strength to crush his enemies.

[@antona.1327]

@@JakeYolk if you can confuse a magic gauntlet with ten rings that are worn on fingers, you shouldn't be watching movies, since you're probably not even in school yet. And also, since when was the MCU about originality and not being repetitive? Denis Villeneuve said it best, they're copy and paste of each other. So hardly makluan rings would be the straw to break the formulaic camel's back.

[@Jylstin]

This version of the ten rings is probably my new Favourite artifact in the MCU ESPECIALLY The way when the rings can bring such spectacle to the fight scenes! What an amazing final fight!

[@Flowerz__]

Agreed. Very excited to see the interesting ways the rings can be used.

[@JohnSmith-pe6wo]

They literally don't do nothing you haven't already seen in the MCU, and I don't mean in the good way. Look up what they can do in the source material that is something

Although, obviously, Stan Lee cannot be replaced as the cameo king of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I propose the concept be continued. I believe Jeffrey Wright, as Uatu the Watcher, should just make silent background appearances, in all-any future MCU films. I feel it would make perfect sense, given the nature of Uatu and who does not love Wright?! Anyone? I know I have posted this, previously. However, I really want this to happen! I even created a petition on Change’s website. Please, support it, if you feel the same way. (Apes strong together!) Thanks and sorry for the repeat.

Re-imagining the 10 Rings was one of the best decisions they've made with this movie. That, and the way they decided to portray Wenwu made the entire Mandarin character work in the MCU. I would have loved to see Wenwu face Iron Man, but Shang-Chi is one of Marvel's best movies in my opinion. It wasn't a superhero movie, it was a movie about a broken family, with some supernatural elements, set in a world of superheroes.
