After seeing this movie, the 10 rings are easily my favorite MCU weapon because of all the creative ways they can be used :)

The fact that this movie is Tony Leung’s first ever Hollywood debut blows my mind, great villain and he nailed the role as Wenwu/Mandarin

I love how connected the MCU is. Seeing all these details like captain America getting the Medal of Honor is proof that while we’re watching them do one thing, other stuff is going on around the world at the same time. It’s not just a movie. It’s literally a whole universe that is living while we’re not seeing it

Also, you missed one huge detail. Right from the bus fight scene, you can see that Shang was fighting with 'closed fist' fighting style, meaning he was channeling his anger through his fighting style, as he was yet to accept his mother's death and let go of the guilt. But as we go towards the end of the film, we see that his fighting style changes to 'open hand' fighting style, because he has then accepted that his mother is not going to come back (also because his Aunt taught him the Ta Loan style of Kung fu). And in the last fight, we can see that Wenwu's facial expressions showed anger and agony, whereas Shang was looking much more calm. His character arc changed throughout the film. Also, during the fight scene between Wenwu and Shang, we can see that Shang used the gray shockwave technique.

Katy's grandmother isn't delusion, it's a thing in Asian culture where we give to the dead ancestors food and money and give them a spot at the table, usually mainly during chinese new year for my family, though we usually keep the items and food after so the joke is Katy's Grandmother got items she likes that she'll keep after. The writers of the film definitely know and lived through these experiences to write such accurate and comedic scenes from a younger asian perspective. I understand the misinterpretation as this is very nuanced, I could tell the majority of audiences wouldn't get the full meaning, makes Shang Chi a very realistic and relatable film for some asian audiences.

During the fight choreography between Wenwu and Shang-Chi, Wenwu tends to wear the rings whereas Shang-Chi fights with the rings floating around him. Wenwu usually has the rings return to him because his character has a harder time letting things go, and so his fighting style reflects that. Shang-Chi, on the other hand, has the rings float around him for the majority of the fight and they become multiple extensions to his own flow based fighting style. Shang-Chi tends to fight using his environment (established during the movies previous fights), so it makes sense for the rings to float around him so he can adapt and use them in a non-direct fashion.

Dude ! I watched this movie like 5 times in theaters, and you still managed to find out so much I haven't noticed... Thanks, Lad ! I was looking forward to your breakdown, and you definitely didn't disappoint. As a person from Chinese descent myself but who was born and raised in Europe, this movie hit so many points that resonate with me : - Shang Chi is the young 1st gen Asian migrant who, pretty much like Simu, came to America (Canada for Simu) from China when he was a kid, and had to adapt to a Whole new world (probably why Aladdin's song is his favorite Karaoke song in the movie), - Katy is the already comfortably American 3rd gen who starts the movie by being proudly carefree American in front of her friend and her mother, but later, gets her views on life challenged when she's faced with actual stakes and "authentic" traditional chinese elders wisdom (even though the movie could have delved a bit deeper on that), - Xialin is the one who's always lived under authoritarian and mysoginistic China (metaphored by her father), and couldn't escape to a Western country, so she escaped to neighbouring Macau, which, even if it's still technically part of China, still enjoys more freedom than China (I suspect originally, that part was supposed to be in HK, which would have made much more sense, given the amount of legendary HK actors in the movie, but then... being in 2019, the massive protests and police brutality happened in HK, which didn't make production there possible anymore... thanks, China ! So Macau it is), where she could be the badass she ever wanted to be. You could trade Macau for either HK or Taiwan, and it would have worked the same, but I guess Macau is the most visually impressive, with it's majestic skyline and its gambling environment. Putting her in a city like Shanghai was : 1 probably off-limits for Disney, and 2 thematically not compatible, since it's still very much integral part of China, - Wen Wu is everything that represents one side of modern (and in some ways, traditional China) : Has the ultimate power (the 10 rings in the movie) and is millenia old, can't change and stuck in his old ways (he even says it himself after his wife died), greedy (he conquered everything in the world for a 1000 years), authoritative, does whatever he wants, control freak, patriarchy, doesn't give any space for arguments (and that's not really giving a bad rap to china, it really is how it is in real life, right now). He's very much the Yin (down to how his compound look, that is almost entirely black, with only one bright colored part in all of it : the wooden dragon sculpture, that seemingly comes from Ta Lo), - Ta Lo and its people, especially the mother and the aunt, represents the "real" traditional side of China : spiritualism, altruism, family, martial arts (especially Taiji), nature, keeping in touch with their roots and their mystical side (including the mythical creatures, like the Fu dogs, phoenixs, kirins, Hulijins, and of course, the dragon)... They're basically the Yang side of China (when we first arrive in the village, it is sunny, vibrantly colored, grandiose... with the only dark spot of the village being of course the Sealed Gate). And when Wen Wu's arrives, it corrupts everything and toned the whole village in dark gray. So everything, every character, and even every set has meaning in this movie. The more I watch it (I've watched it 3 times, already), the more I can see it. Intentionally or not, it is a very well crafted universe, if anything a bit rushed because of its feature film format (I actually think it would have benefitted to have the luxury of a Disney+ series treatment, so we could explore and dive more deeply into all its themes and characters).

I also noticed that Shang-chi was using the rings like the dragon flying through the air while Wenwu mainly used it like a whip. Also I like how Shang-chi when he had the rings was more delicate and smooth when wenwu when he had the rings was more jagged and sharp.

A detail I found was that according to Xialing, Wenwu didn't look at her because she reminded him of Ying Li but Ying Nan told Shang Chi that he was more like their mother. This shows that Wenwu looked at the outer apperance because Shang Chi was more like their mother from heart but Xialing was like him as she wanted to rule and her own kingdom. This is also the reason why Wenwu was fooled by the voice of the Dweller because didn't look deep enough.

You missed one. The woman fighting the Extremis soldier was a Black Widow. It’s even the same stunt actress and everything, if you watch the movies back to back you can pick her out of the group. She even has the belt buckle like Natasha and everything, she’s still wearing her full Red Room gear. I guess some of the girls just couldn’t move on and fighting is all they know. It’s nice that they’re all amicable and friendly fights though! I didn’t notice them in the locker room fixing each other up, I was too busy trying to see where Wong and Abomination were going.

6:13 "Without making it look like its forced" with that scene lol, perfect

3:55 it's a bit wrong. 1. Waigong is not a name, it's mean grandpa, so does waipo which is grandmother 2. In chinese tradition, we will always leave a seat for a passed away elder relatives (usually the closest one), so it's clearly grandma is not in delusion, it's just a tradition that she's still respecting her husband. That's it.

"Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad" was so fast I thought I'm watching this video at 1.25x speed

I love how at the end of the movie, shangchi is mixing his mother and father's fighting techniques. Compared to when he was using the rings against his father he was fighting like his mother. And he fought the huge soul sucker, he was using it like his father but with grace of his mother. Indeed a product of thos who came before him.

Shang Chi has to be one of the most underrated movies I've ever watched. Such a nice job by MCU in all aspects from dialogues and story writing to peak action and VFX. Loved it!❤

Did you notice how after Xialing, Shang Chi's sister, cleared the dragon's eye of the small monsters the dragon looked at her? Soon after she's riding the dragon! Not everyone could ride the dragon, I think it's a special honour reserved for those of dragon's blood, making Shang Chi and Xialing equals in that regard. I think she could wield the rings and control them as her mother, father and brother all have. And with her taking over the family business, I think that's a real possibility moving forward.

Waipo isn't deluded. Asians, esp more traditional Asians, would always set aside food for their dead loved ones, especially parents / siblings / kids / partners as if they're still with us. As a Filipino from a more traditional family, I can understand her not letting people sit in her late husband's seat at the table. It's not about her being unable to move on, it's about our culture of treating dead relatives as if they're still with us.

Actually, for number 8, Katy's grandma is not delusional, it's just her belief 😂 Chinese people do believe that ancestor's spirits might come to the family's house and eat together. My grandma does the same. For more than 20 years now, after my grandpa passed away, she always puts food on our family shrine every morning for him. There's even this tradition of putting food on shrine or altar, then we'll wait for a while and throw something like dice and if the dice come out in a formation that indicates the ancestors are done eating, we may eat. But if it doesn't, we'll have to wait and throw again, and so on until the ancestors "say" they're full lol kind of an old tradition, I don't think people these days do this anymore though

2:51 this scene seems completely inspired by bollyhood

Shang-Chi is one of the best MCU movies so far. So damn well done, not overshadowed with pandering to a target audience, but focused on the characters and the story they have to tell. Easily one I my favorites that I'll watch over and over.

Another detail i found about characters Shang chi - mostly looks like his father but possess his mother's qualities Xu Xialing - mostly looks like her mother but possess her father's qualities (i mean not completely but to some extent)

I think the Eternals wasn't a bad film, but it was so hyped. Shang Chi I think it wasn't so hyped but it was so an amazing film, that we expected more from Eternals

Here's a detail that was missed. In the flashback scene to Spiderman: Homecoming when Canadian Lad was referring to the the dude blogging on the bus in Shang Chi, at 4:57 time stamp of this video, there is a older, bearded dude with an old school boombox standing next to the guy as he asks Spiderman to do a flip. That bearded guy is Kirk Thatcher who was the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You may recall during that scene James Kirk asked him to turn the music down but the punk flips him off and cranks the music. That's when Spock neck pinches him, silencing the boombox. Not only is that the same guy in Spiderman Homecoming, referenced in this Shang Chi breakdown, but he's holding the same boombox from 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Now that's a cool detail/reference. Source: IMDB for Shang Chi.

Can’t wait for your Hawkeye breakdowns! I’m absolutely loving it so far and it’s refreshing to see someone that makes my favorite movie franchise come to life for me pointing things out and explaining things

I noticed that Shang-Chi and Xu Wenwu have different fighting styles with the rings. Wenwu always retracts the rings immediately if he tosses it while Shang-chi always let it float around. 9:45 is a perfect example of this as Shang-chi has the ring off when hes kicking him while Wenwu has it on when blocking it.

Two Interesting Details i also noticed: 1) The Person fighting the extremist from Iron Man 3 looks a lot like a Widow( The Ones from The Black Widow film after Natasha set them free). This shows that The widows can make their own choices now, and this Widow used her abilities to make money in the Golden Daggers Club. 2) In the Final battle, Wenwu uses the rings to go under the ground beneath Shang Chi, Then suddenly changes his arm stance to bring them out of the ground and hit Shang Chi, then later when Shang Chi fights the Dweller in Darkness he uses the same arm stance to embody the Rings in the Dweller In Darkness's body, then changes his stance like his father did, and pulled the rings out of the dragon, Killing it. This shows that Shang Chi is using both of his parents skills and powers to embrace his past and make sure the future is in his control.

I really like the part where wenwu put all the rings in just one hand to increase the power while hes punching the gate

Another one, is that when Shang's mother was fighting with Wenwu, when she gets the rings for a moment the rings turn orange, the same way when Shang chi get the rings. With them the rings are orange and with Wenwu are purple ¿why? Maybe for the connection with the Dragon spirit or power. So it make sense that look like a breath of fire in the Clip you show. Shang's mother get the rings orange and turn back to Wenwu but like a punch, but she could use the rings for her self, but she didn't want power. Ah, and the intention in the fight between the parents was a romantic dance, because there is were they fall in love, and martial arts is supposed to be a dance too.

9:12 You can see that the vest made up of dragon scales protects Shang chi from getting a critical hit It absorbs the kinetic energy like vibranium and glows in the impact area

Another detail, when Wenwu puched Shang chi with the three rings, you can see how the dragon scales absorbed the impact just like how vibranium does showing how strong it is. Perhaps the future avengers may use this armor with the help of Shang chi.

Man... I am back after a while, I am so glad you have reached 1.4 M subscriber. I knew your channel when you had only few thousand subscribers, I tell my friends of how great your videos are. 😁 I am so happy for you.

Shang-Chi's jumping with the rings also reminds me of Karl Mordo's Vaulting Boots of Valtorr in "Doctor Strange." I guess you can say that the rings are relics that hold power like in Doctor Strange. Which is a good tie in with the two movies. I noticed how Shang-Chi and his father are alike in benign ways too: * When Wenwu gave up his old life, he wore a jersey cut shirt. Once his wife died, he put on a sweater to cover it. Shang-Chi wears jersey cut jacket and shirts often in this movie. It shows - at least to me - that he carries the best of his father in him. * Both of them use a friendly shrug: Wenwu after seeing the water map, Shang-Chi in the middle of his sparing lesson with his aunt. * Both of them used a question as an argument response: "So why did your mother give you these?" "So why would you send me that postcard?" (I'm not sure I got the quote exact but you know what part of the movie I'm talking about.) * Shang-Chi used the same movement with his arms as his dad when commanding the "kill" move with the rings: Shang-Chi did it when he gave the final blow to the Mega Soul-Sucker (lol), Wenwu did it when he attempted to attack Ying Li in the forest, and Wenwu did it on his son when they were at the Dark Gate. At this point, I think Shang-Chi just learned it from his dad.

Canadian Lad: 20 min Breakdown for 3 min trailer Also Canadian Lad: 12 min breakdown for 2 hour movie

Shang, Katy and Wong singing Hotel California has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in phase 4

Excellent work yet again. I love your breakdown's and the way they help me appreciate the movies even more.

Despite using the rings at 9:12 the blow did not kill shang chi because of the suit he was wearing(given as a gift from his aunt), was made up of dragon skin which was also used to creat their armors🤗

10.23 I think Wenwu also realised there was no way his wife could be alive when he was caught by the dweller. He accepted it and had nothing to live for, he was really done living. Such a complex character which i really appreciate.

Honestly, this movie was a lot better then I thought it was going to be.

In a movie about a dragon, magical rings, Wong, some Chinese mythos and lots of cool action... Wen Wu turned out to be my favourite part. His slow descent into madness and delusion, his love for his wife, the ghosts of his past not leaving him alone and his morally grey final arc where he's not an all out villain but someone who lost his whole world. How did the father turn out to be the best part of the movie seriously.

My personal favorite aspect of the movie were the dragons. The guardian was a longer and looked like a Chinese dragon-- usually depicted without wings and more snakelike in form. However the opposing "dragon" looked more like a traditional Western dragon with leathery wings!

like how they turned one of Mcu’s most hated twist with Trevor and Killian into just a ruse for the real Mandarin

This series just never gets old

Another detail you can easily spot if you pay close attention. When Wenwu uses the rings, blue lightning surges around them. Blue lightning is often depicted as someone having a cold demeanor. While in Shang-chi's case the rings glow yellow almost like the sun, and the sun is usually seen as a kind and happy personality.

The best movie breakdown ever seen!! Like many other UKpostsrs did not even noticed the details in this movie like how u do!! Keep it up and can't wait eo see your hawkeye breakdowns!!!

The fact that the souls of everyone didn't come back after the battle is actually rlly cool, just a sign that marvel's starting to break away from your cliché stereotypical super hero movie

Here's something you missed. When Shang Chi is stepping on the rings to kick Weng wu, it's not only similar to Star lord stepping on Doctor Strange's magic rings, but in fact originally this was used by Mordo when he was training Doctor Strange and was using the magic enchanted boots, he also used the same technique when they were running around in the mirror dimension.

TCL you missed one awesome continuity detail. In All Hail The King Jackson Norris says that 'the Ten Rings were officially dormant but evidence suggests that they are growing more active'. That's what exactly happened. The ten rings were dorment for a few years when Wenwu settled with his family but again became active after his wife died. Marvel never fails in continuity

Yoo you need so many more subs for what you are doing. Good work man 🤙

Bro everyone's war costume in ta lo is full sleeve but the costume Shang chi's mother made for them will be half sleeve. May be because she already knew her children would summon the rings one day.

One detail in slow speed I appreciate is the rapid yet graceful movement of the rings. Every frame is spent ensuring every ring is doing precisely what it needs to be doing. Very cool weapon/ effect combo. Also, now I’m excited for that upgraded flashing dragon punch you pointed out on Shang Chi 2. (Would love a name from the comics if there is one)

I really love that you saw the detail of the Rings rapping by his legs. You should do it other breakdown but just with the ring fights. Also show the beginning where wenwu is fighting a old army

10:02 Mordo does the same in dr.strange

I'm surprised Shang Chi's training scene with his aunt didn't get any mention. They sparred in two rounds. The first time, all of Shang Chi's moves were derivatives from his father's fighting style (closed fists, linear). He used that fighting style because that's the only way he knows on how to fight up to that point. On the second round however, after his aunt corrects his stance, his moves changed. It resembles his mother's more (open fists, more graceful).

Another detail that i saw for myself is how during the final battle, everyone is wearing red armour, except for wenwus' army of course, and the only person who wasnt wearing red was Xialing, she was wearing grey, maybe it was foreshadowing her taking the place of her father leading the ten rings

I think when Shang Chi says , I feel sorry for her is actually foreshadowing the mishappening of breaking her laptop during the fight with razor fist

Also definitely worth mentioning Walpo (or Waigong) is NOT a name, it’s the word “grandma” (or grandpa) in Chinese. Now what sets the script apart is the fact that they used the Chinese word instead of the English word. This is an extremely common practice (referring to your family members in Chinese even though you are speaking English) among many of my American born Chinese friends, the significance of descendent vs. upbringing was discussed in this video as well. On an unrelated note, the silent exchange between Shang Chi and Xialing meant lots to me when I watched it. On top of the fact that a lot of adverse, emotionally challenging information are, in fact, to be exchanged in silence between family members in Chinese culture, their exchange also brings out filial piety in such an elegant way that does not delay the plot of the film (as the Canadian Lad mentioned, unlike in Endgame; also imagine how this scene would’ve been done differently for other cultures). This concept (or practice I should say) is so core to so many Eastern Asian cultures that I was beyond stunned when I realized Marvel’s intention with this brief exchange. It’s moments like these that really drives it home for me.

Fun fact: the fighter healing the one in the locker room is actually a widow. From the black widow movie. If you look in the credits it says” widow”. Meaning she was actually a black widow

As a Asian, I am very happy to see more Asian superheroes added to the MCU! I can’t wait to see Shang Chi’s journey continue.

7:44 about the liverpool fc thing, in iron man 3 when tony stark and rhodes first interrogated trever, he was watching a Liverpool fc football match , a small detail to missed

Waigong doesn't think her husband is still alive. She's keeping that food for a Day of the Dead-type thing.

Re: The scene with Waipo foreshadowing; I didn't take it to mean she is deluded, rather it struck me as a cultural thing. Her phrasing implies she knows he's deceased, so she's not just suffering from dementia. The Chinese venerate their ancestors and deceased loved ones a lot, it's a big part of the culture. Simultaneously, Katy grew up in the US, so she doesn't have the same traditions, or at least they're not as important to her. That's why she tells her grandma to "move on" -- That is a very western idea, a very western sentiment, "moving on." I think you're wrong, and the scene is supposed to serve as representation for Chinese and Chinese-Americans whose parents or grandparents migrated. It's a scene that exists specifically for the people who'll understand it. That's further supported by what you noticed later, about how Katy barely knows how to use chopsticks and is largely unfamiliar with Asian culture.

The vfx of this movie were amazing. That fight with Shang and his dad looked like something straight of Dragon Ball Z. I was so hyped man. Same when Shang Chi’s mom and dad were sparring. It loooked like avatar air bender stuff 😁

Missed the part where Xialing sits like his dad on the throne and is just as good as his dad (maybe even better) in establishing secret organizations.

I do believe the fighter that was fighting the extremist was a Widow.

Wen wu is a respectable person. I think he kind of adopted everyone. That's why the people who work for him treats him with love. You can see that in razor fist or the first assistant who bought him to the forest .although he terrorises people he know how to take them with him also .. There was a scene where wen wu calls an old man as young man .

It is very interesting like for the first time we actually see martial arts, wireworks, Jackie chan style choreography of fighting, even Brad Allan was honored in the credits!! This is what made me like the movie so much!! R.I.P Brad Allan

The way he fight with his father when he was trying to break the gate was the same way his mother fought with him first time. That fight realized his father that his wife is in his son not behind the gate..

8:40 When Wenwu strikes a blast at his enemy, the number of rings that were on his arm goes from five to four, with the missing one being the one closest to his hand, implying that the killing blow was the ring hitting the enemy with massive amounts of power behind it.

I almost cried when Wen Wu died, I can feel his remorse for the things that he's done. But it's too late. I wish we can see more of his adventures from the next Shang Chi films, even though flashbacks.

This guy spends a lot of time tk make this vids he's insane he's a hard worker he deserves much more from us ❤

When Shang-Chi jumps off of the rings, it also resembles when Mordor from Dr.Strange used "The Vaulting Boots of Valtorr" to fight Dr.Strange during training.

When shang chi was fighting the dweller of darkness, after he launches the ring in the creatures stomach, while in the air, he breifly rotates in the air and following the rotation of his body/arms, the rings too rotate in the creature's stomach. This means that shang chi was literally disembowling the dweller from inside before his final move.

Apart from clearing space for him to land, I think Wenwu striking the ground before landing is also a way for him to ease his landing as he is mortal and can bruise or probably die doing a landing from such height. Notice when he went to free the Dweller in Darkness, he still struck the rings before landing, when he could have easily landed without clearing the ground because no one was there.

Just re-watched the movie for a third time yesterday. This couldn't have dropped at a better time. Thanks Lad.

This is a nice video, really like how you observe small details that make the movie even better to watch.

Love your observations. I miss some of them! The one thing I noticed the second time watching was when we meet Trevor and Shawn and Katy are talking to him, in the mirror at one point, their arms are crossed in the mirror but not in actuality. A Great Marvel movie!!

one of the things i noticed is that wenwu didnt just attack randomly when he arrived he let his army fight for him this is because he didn't wanna risk having his rings stolen he only fights with shang chi which is probably because he didn't think that shang could take his rings

In the climax battle, Shang Chi's finishing move to kill the dweller in darkness involves both techniques from his mother and father. In the fight between Shangchi and Wenwu, Wenwu sent his rings into the ground and pulling them out one by one to attack Shang Chi. Later Shangchi used the same move to kill the mega soul sucker but unlike Wenwu, Shangchi made all the rings spin to gain more power which is his mother's technique and pulledall of them out together using same action of Wenwu. Thus accepting that he is both his father and mother's son. like his aunt mentioned before that we are product of all who came before us both good and bad. It is a great storytelling using fight scenes.

I could be wrong, but: In the scene where the grandma says "This is waigong's seat," I don't think she is saying that her deceased husband is called waigong. In chinese waigong stands for grandfather, so it's saying "grandfather used to sit here"

Another wonderful breakdown! But I'm surprised you didn't mention how in the MCU, magical (and some technological, like JARVIS) good things glow orange, and bad things glow blue. JARVIS glowed orange when he fought and lost against Ultron, who glowed blue. The rings were orange for Shang-Chi and blue for his dad. Dr. Strange's magic is orange as well. Even Captain Marvel's power shows up as orange light. It's such a neat detail for me, because normally blue is associated with good.

I saw someone else talk about this but notice how Wenwu almost always grips/wears the rings when using them while shangchi lets them free flow all the time and the rings assist him, rather than are used by him.

Hey did you notice when "dwellers of darkness" tried to suck wan woo's Life force it couldn't until wan woo let go his rings. Shows that those rings make him IMMORTAL . Nicely done Marvel.

Hi @Canadian lad , I have observed a detail too watching your video. The woman treating wounds of extremis is a widow from black widow movie. we see her in the end fight with natasha where all widows come to fight natasha. let me know if this was a useful detail. we can see in slowmotion black and red while doing a barrel roll in fight. that is why i recognised her. maybe this might be after all widows dispersed settled in different places one came here. very continuous detail from marvel

One great detail I found was when Shang chi was fighting the bad guys on the bus and he strikes a pose as they were entering the tunnel, the shape of the tunnel and the lights inside the tunnel made it look like he already has his ten rings behind him. Leave a like if you guys noticed that too or found this detail interesting. Thanks.

3:45 The movie focusing so much on relationships IE spousal and parental with Shang-Chi's flashbacks back and forth between his mother and father is done so well. So you pointing this out is pretty great. The only thing i wish they did was focus on the guilt driving his father upon hearing her voice knowing she died almost from him not being present and away 'on business'

2:32 Lad: Technology of any sort doesn't work in the village The car : Moving just fine

No:28 when you said shrink and grow i realised something you cant just choose to have the ten rings you need to be worthy remember when he said if you want these rings you need to be strong enough to carry them

You provide amazing value, love your content!!

The action and the fights in this movie were phenomenal

I liked the fact that there were times you could see the rings return to the mandarin even when it wasn't necessary and would not have been questioned was just a nice example of the vfx team going that extra mile

At 2:44 I noticed that the colour of 10 Rings are Cyan for a short moment when Ying Li(Mother of Shang-Chi) blocks and hold Ten Rings attack.

I may be overthinking this a bit but there was a scene where katy was mocking shang chi for changing his name to shawn which is extremely similar to shang. During the dinner scene his father told katy that names are important maybe thats why shang chi "changed" it to shawn.

I just realized, "Master Khan" or Genghis Khan as you astutely pointed out the possibility of being, could also be another nod to the original Iron Man. "The bow and arrow once was the Pinnacle of Technology. It allowed the Great Genghis Khan to rule from the Pacific to the Ukraine..." Possibly suggesting the Ten Rings take inspiration for their movement from leaders Wen Wu actually was...

3:48 The grandma isn’t deluded, it’s just how us Chinese pay respect to passed relatives. We even have Tomb-sweeping Festival where we buy and burn paper made items such as cars, houses, luxurious items etc to send them to the afterlife for our passed relatives. We would also offers alcohol or tea in front of their grave hoping their spirit would come back and enjoy it.

I notice a new details when his father hit him until he fell into the grass by the lake, his father attacked him with a ring but deliberately missed the attack, he did this because he did not want to hurt shangci

I'm your avid fan... I loved watching movie breakdown or tv series ....but please if you make a breakdown or your thought about the series Arcane mobile Legend.. I love how you interpret every episodes of Hawkeye.. I'm also a fan of any marvel studios series.. I'm using your channel as a reference on any movies or tv series .... what to watch next. Thanks you so much..

3:18 It is actually confirmed that is a dating app (like tinder) for people who got affected by the blip and had age issues affecting their relationships. That is so clever and coherent for the marvel universe. Kudos to the writers.

This movie was absolutely fantastic and an incredible addition to the MCU.

One detail that was very prominent that when the ring are not used they are of the same size but when they are been used they fit absolutely tight and their shape changes like the ring which is closest to the elbo has a very large diameter but the one closest to the parm and the smallest one.

I noticed that in the battle at the end of the movie the 10 rings army is dressed in full black, and the other army is full red. Meanwhile, shangchi and his sister were half black, half red dressed
