Description

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is one of Marvel’s most original, heartfelt, and promising films — and yet four years later, there’s still no sequel. In this special, Eric (Mr. Honest) dives into why Shang-Chi matters:



  • The open-arms tone that makes the movie an escape

  • Shang & Katy’s friendship over romance

  • Wenwu’s gut-punch tragedy and the weight of the rings

  • Gold vs blue energy: visual storytelling of light vs dark

  • The Ten Rings as ancient relics — and story fuel for the MCU’s future

  • A trilogy vision where Shang-Chi rejects immortality to preserve his humanity


Simu Liu deserves to stand as a cornerstone Avenger, and fans deserve to see this story continue.
