Off The Record: Review of Shang-Chi (ft. Dante Basco)

Simu is never gonna be allowed on JK again until his Marvel career is over considering the shit they say on JK xD

Nope! Lol

Does he not like the movie?

[@mikeyjaynes92]

@@marcelcjr9313 he didn't get a lot of things in this movie. He talks about it on his channel, there was a large uproar in the comments. Not like disrespectful or anything just like not understanding where he was getting his views from. He was kind of nitpicky. But in my opinion he also didn't understand a lot of the Chinese nuances of the film that completed it. If you know them then you really enjoy it and it's exciting to see it come to life because these are long time stories you grow up learning.

[@animatedlife00]

@@marcelcjr9313 david doesnt like the movie. Also the part where joe said shang chi holding marvel and asian and bart was like dont fuck up. too late. simu was called "unattractive" by china's standard and now shang chi is not approve for distribution in china. Also, simu took offence to the word "experiment" and twitted to disney saying that Asian are not a an experiment. Disney used the word experiment in the context of how well the movie will do in theater for 1 month before releasing it on disney plus. Disney want to gather information on people's reaction of going back to the theater amid covid since they will be releasing a movie every month until the end of the year

The way they killed the Death Dealer was honestly the worst part of the movie imo. I expected more from him before he died smh

[@CHRISPYakaKON]

That’s my only critique as well but dope otherwise

[@niajef]

100%! that was the most anti climatic shit ever, same with guang bo, like 2 second in command kind of characters getting killed off in 2 seconds like that, so lame

[@Daslickflip]

Agreed, only critique for me as well.

[@NisanGurung]

Did you watch David’s podcast and came up with that opinion

[@TheMengoMango]

Yeah it was kinda disappointing especially since the trailers seemed to put so much emphasis on him. But it also kinda made sense as Shang-Chi almost killed him. Showing that he already was a better fighter than Death Dealer.

[@chewbarka4011]

You guys gotta get simu and David on next

[@Yallahxcuzzy]

The number 1 thing I really appreciated about this movie is that it not only touches on Chinese culture, but Asian culture in general. I love the moments in the movie where it makes you go "ahhh" or "ohh I get that". And Tony Leung absolutely fucking killed it.

[@sayusaymee7722]

2:17 Infernal Affairs is so much better than The Departed. Don't forget Andy Lau. Another legend in his own right. 18:20 18:29 Well there goes your Disney passes 😩 lol

[@jairoabarca8969]

He had a lot of good points tho as exemplary the choreography and fighting was the forced cheesy comedy and the weird relationship between Shang chi and his father made the movie feel awkward.

[@neptune5634]

My theory is Dante is real and we’re all not. He lived the perfect child actor storyline. He was Zuko from the best American cartoon. He acted with Robbin Williams. Don’t believe me yet? He kissed Ashley banks bro. Not yet? The channel that you watched everyday for five years. This guy just can slide whenever and be “ Imma do a video or two” like it’s casual.

[@droptopp3479]

Shangchi was a good startup asian superhero movie, but marvel can def do better with the story and comedic lines. Actors and action was amazing though

Honestly, I feel as though Shang-Chi needs a girlfriend. I'm tired of my Asian brothers getting no booty in movies.

[@DemonFox369]

There’s main character versus step-parent or versus uncle/aunt in Chinese dramas. And plenty that fight against a parent(s) too. I don’t think that would causes issues for the China audience.

[@forthewin3910]

I honestly didn’t think I would like this movie. I thought it was just another side marvel movie to make some money and that it wouldn’t add to the other ones. But it was really good. Honestly one of my favorites.

[@xoTRIGUNxo]

This movie actually had one of the smallest marvel budgets, which honestly didn’t seem that way, though the fight in the village was really sad, it felt like a bootleg wakanda fight. Why is it that village that existed on its own for thousands of years and wenwu’s army only had like 30 dudes fighting it was pretty unepic. I would have prefer a sequence of maybe 1 on 3 fights between Wen Wu the sister, aunt and Shang chi. Kinda like old school Kung fu flicks.

The movie was above average but JK and other Asians need to stop acting like if Simu-chu messes up it will damage all Asians. Jackie Chan was so popular he had his own tv show. Anime and manga are more popular then comics and western animation. If asian got together to make live action tv shows based on anime or manga actually stuck with the source material and not change race or the gender of the characters they would do a good job.

Best MCU origin film y'all stop playing. Simu and Tony had killer performances and the directing was A1

[@clojap]

Simu isn't a good actor, the guy has no charisma he's just good looking. He needs to shut up on twitter, he's whining about white people all the time and trying to make everything about race, he had a white girlfriend until he got semi famous for his show in Canada and then all of the sudden he had an Asian girlfriend out of nowhere. He's likely screwed up his career too, what he said about the CCP was very true but they know about it now and no movie he's in will be released in China, wouldn't be shocked if this part is recast because they count on money from China to help make up the box office for these big movies.
