>Shang-Chi will mainly provide comic relief in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, feeling out of place among the more powerful and experienced heroes, especially after Doom steals the Ten Rings, forcing him to rely solely on his martial arts skills.https://thecosmiccircus.com/alex-perez-september-qa-part-1-avengers-doomsday/What did Marvel mean by this?
>>150443259>especially after Doom steals the Ten Rings, forcing him to rely solely on his martial arts skills.That's good, Shang-Chi became worse when they gave him energy blasts instead of having him just fucking punch, kick, and flip in action scenes
They turned his ass into Short Round.

>>150443259aznbros, we fucking lost!
Aznidentity is seething
Without the rings, what can he do against metahumans and shit? Punch armor with his bare fists and break his hands?That said, should have him do some stuff before they're taken.
>>150443259Better check r/asianmasculinity because I'm sure he's posting again
>>150443259They should had honestly just given Shang-Chi Iron Fist's power instead of the Ten Rings. The Ten Rings' abilities are ill defined and the writers cant even make up their minds on it's capabilities.
>>150443259at least he is in the movie, are the eternals in it?
>>150443417about as much as either black widows but less than someone like hawkeye.
>>150443425Maybe he'll take in some of their power later and they are destroyed. Drops down the power a bit while letting him stand a chance against powered enemies.Course, a lot of characters how power scaling issues so he is hardly alone in that.
>>150443417His mother had some nature chi shit, her people took it from her but his aunt was teaching him or at least showing him so he could pick that up.Though >>150443277 is right in that the character is deviating so much from the source he stops being Shang Chi with that direction.
>land the breakout role of a lifetime as one of the leads of the rebooted Avengers lineup>someone digs up your incel reddit posts and now you are sidelined to brief humiliation ritual cameosLet this be a lesson to all of you: don't post on fucking reddit
I'm holding out hope that this movie gets bad reviews and it drives MCU stans insane.
>>150443433Ikaris is in Doomasday
Literally no one on the planet gives a shit about fucking SHANG CHI. The problem is that the guy who made this shit is making Spider Man 4. And it's hard to judge if it will be good or not because no one on the planet saw SHANG CHI
>>150443592i did, it was pretty meh surprissingly aquafina wasn't as bad
>>150443592Most enjoyed it for the fighting, the last act though became the usual cgi sludge unfortunately which kind of detracted from it a bit.I suspect they're not sure how to integrate the fighting with all the superpowers. It takes a lot of time to properly choreograph good fights, unlike super stuff which they can just do by wires, then cgi whatever they need in and out.
Shang Chi should have just been a side character on a Iron Fist/Cage show. There should have never been a Shang Chi movie
The problem with Marvel and super shit movies is that the creatives are hostages to dumbass nerds. It's bizarre that this character was created to cash in on the Bruce Lee craze, in a comic book that reads like a movie storyboard. You have to abide by dumbass comic book storytelling. Holy shit, I love comic books. But I can't stand these movies. Just make good movies, fuck the nerds' opinions.
>>150443277>>150443417>>150443492But the rings are visually interesting and versatile.
>>150444504Too versatile. Not that that'll stop anyone, but they need to reign in some of the magical powers being way too useful and shit, like Wanda in Multiverse.
It would appear Shang- Chi's potential has been nipped... in the bud
>>150443259Um….. Synergybros????? Did we act too soon?
>>150443507>someone digs up your incel reddit postswhat?I remember him malding over bubble tea or some other shit
That's a shame, I love Shang Tsung
>>150443417>>150443259The really funny thing is that even without his armor Doom is one of the top ten hand to hand fighters in 616 (killed a lion naked and unarmed not to mention beat a yeti to death) so Shang is so outclassed it isn't even funny. Doom has so much BS going on that everyone forgets he can just beat you to death if he feels like it.
>>150445656So is he a bit of a Mary Sue?
>>150445774That's kinda his whole deal, especially as technically he is just a human. Besides his willpower he doesn't have any unusual attributes, all his abilities are knowledge based. Doom has no superpowers, he is just a really focused human who taught himself a bunch of really useful things. In theory he is just a highly motivated regular human being.
>>150443592I would care more if they hadn't been fucking cowards and went all "oh no his ageless tyrant father was actually super cool the whole time and only a demon whispering in his mind is making him do bad things."No. Shang Chi needed to punch his ass to death and have that fight be the climax of the movie, not another stupid fucking cgi monsterfest. Just stupid and undercutting any potential the movie might have possibly had.
>>150445343I have my doubts because, well, trusting people doing race wars on 4chan is for suckers, but the accusation is he was part of a reddit paying to produce AMWF porn.
>>150443259Fuck this. I hate what Marvel's doing to Shang-Chi
>>150445803no he got electricity powers along with the rest of the F4 when all five went to space duh
>>150445803>Doom has no superpowers, he is just a really focused human who taught himself a bunch of really useful things. In theory he is just a highly motivated regular human being.Like Batman?
>>150446470more like the son of Batman and a witch because Doom still had mystic romani magic
>>150443259is he and akwafena gonna make a song cover of that ricegum song?
