Puny Pod | Phase 4 Episode 6 - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Description
In this episode of Puny Pod, Ryan and David return to Phase Four with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! From Wenwu’s centuries-spanning backstory to Shang-Chi’s comic origins and the film’s ties to Chinese mythology, the hosts unpack one of Marvel’s most distinct and heartfelt stories.
They dig into the film’s incredible martial arts choreography, its pandemic-era theatrical release, and how Shang-Chi changed the MCU’s trajectory. Along the way, they discuss Simu Liu’s rise from stock-photo model to Marvel star, the legacy of Fu Manchu in the comics, and the cultural importance of seeing authentic AAPI representation on screen.
Expect laughs, Marvel deep dives, karaoke appreciation, and a few well-placed digs at Trevor Slattery. It’s equal parts history lesson and fan celebration—because Shang-Chi deserves its flowers.
