Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is officially underway, and that means it’s time to introduce some new characters! Shang-Chi played by Simu Liu is the latest addition to the MCU and it’s therefore time for him to get the traditional superhero origin movie treatment!
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings definitely raises some questions though. Like why did Shang-Chi’s father waste time sending assassins after them? Are those technically rings or bracelets? Why do best friends always insist on saying how long you’ve been friends? Why do they all get put in a cell that’s easy to escape from? How can Trevor Slattery communicate with Morris? Why are they in a BMW? What’s going on through all those VFX?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

@@lanceturley7745 Being pure evil is cartoonish? You realize that even in the real world some people are just bad for the sake of being bad. There’s not always some gray motive behind it. In the comics Doctor Doom doesn’t really have any nuance when it comes to motives, he’s bad because he wants power and he’s one of Marvel’s most popular villains of all time. At best people can say well he thinks his way of ruling is the only way to rule. I think Venom 2 will be refreshing because Carnage looks to be pure evil. Someone who just enjoys creating carnage, pun intended. Also just happens to be one of Marvel’s more popular villains, go figure. Same with Thanos in the comics, just not a good person.
