Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi: Official Teaser Trailer
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
lmao it really is the 'do a flip' guy
To the person who said they were surprised to see no big important MCU connection: CHECKMATE.
To help ensure the film's success? People don't know who Shang-Chi is. He's not clearly a super hero, unlike someone like Thor. People might see this and think it's just a not particularly interesting kung fu film.
I love the MCU anyway but a Martial Arts MCU movie !!!! That looks great, my hype went up for this one.
Yeah, people aren't really sure what 'Marvel Studios' means...
Unlike Doctor Strange's teaser which totally shows off all his superhero qualities like... being flung backwards
Yes, because having "Marvel Studios" appear is enough to guarantee its success.
this is how you know it's going to make a billion dollars
worked for guardians of the galaxy, black panther, captain marvel, dr strange
Literally says "MARVEL STUDIOS" in big letters 12 seconds into the trailer. I mean this is literally how they introduce all of their new franchises... Like did Doctor Strange's trailer have any crossovers? GOG? The original Thor?
Captain Marvel made a billion+
Groot is a household name
Wanda and Vision had a sitcom/drama that dominated conversation week-to-week
Pretty sure they know what they're doing...
Speaking personally, I am still on a roll of just loving everything MCU does. Looking forward to this a lot.
It helps that I'm part-Korean, though I understand that I don't have claim to the same level of excitement as full-Asians and Asian-Americans with this. I also admit that my entire exposure to the Shang-Chi character is strictly limited to Jonathan Hickman's Avengers run, where he was cool but wasn't very present.
I mean the film has references to the Iron Man franchise in the title.
Anti-Asian racism extremely high. Disney has failed with films that tried to appeal to the Chinese market. This looks like another one of those to me
Yeah, never knew there were so many Mandarin fans out there. I thought it was fine.
I always already psyched but holy shit am I fucking psyched. There's some legit Wuxia-ass shit in this thing and I fucking love it.
I'm particularly loving the change on the Mandarin's rings assuming that's what those are supposed to be, there's so much shit that makes it make so much fucking sense it's blowing my goddamn mind.
They're releasing an Eternals movie two months after this.
This is the fucking timeline we're in someone hold me.

Not too familiar with the character, didn't know what to expect before watching this. But the important part is that I came out interested! Looks fun. I'll see it.
I'm reading the wiki for the character now and he definitely gets powers and magic doodads (and before that, focuses "chi" for superhuman feats), he isn't just a normal guy, so no idea why you're being so aggro.
Excited to see this. Looking like it stands on its own a lot compared to all of the other MCU movies that love shoving characters from other movies down your throat. Ill go see this movie twice in a theater if I can watch it without someone mentioning Tony Stark.
The fights look solid, so I'm in for that. Since it's an origin movie, I'm not expecting ground-breaking, and that's totally OK. Ant-Man I expected little from and really enjoyed it, and this has more going for it to me already (the fight scenes).
The identity of this character, Death Dealer, will likely be a major reveal. Wonder who they are going to be.
Are folks really comparing a live action, songless, remake of Mulan that nobody wanted from day one to a MCU movie? Some people think Mulan failed because it "tried to appeal to the Chinese market" and not because it was a bland movie? Anti-Black racism has always been high and Black Panther was a huge success because at the end of the day people are able to separate the people from the product they are consuming. Just look at who plays professional sports vs who watches it. If Shang Chi reviews well/has dope action everyone will see it.

Mephisto obviously.

If you don't mind, I would suggest not writing off being in public with others for the rest of the year yet. Listen to the experts on this, who were saying last year that by this fall, we should be able to go to concerts again.
If you're vaccinated by September, you shouldn't fear being in public. Be cautious in that you should watch the numbers but keep in mind that COVID is never going away. It will still exist in 2022 as well and we will never hit a point where 100% of the population is vaccinated.
But trust the science. If pace keeps up (25% of the population in America is now vaccinated) and you yourself are vaccinated in September and you really want to see a film in the theater, odds are high that it's going to be okay for you to go.
Awkwafina is always likable so I'm pumped. I just hope they don't overuse CG in the fight scenes.
I don't think Mulan failed because it was trying to appeal to the Chinese market. I think it failed precisely because it was a bland movie. That's what this looks like to me so far.
We need to bring together Darcy, Awkwafina's character (I believe the name's Katy), Luis, Drax and Mantis. Maybe MJ and Med too.
Whatever character Yeoh's playing.
