Today is a Special Day
Not only is today Veteran's Day in the US, but it's also the day that I, the Lord Scorpion, was birthed onto this planet! Let the confetti rain & the rum flow!

Loved that there are a lot action scenes in Shang Chi. They went with the Thanos Infinity War style of having the main story about the villain and not the protagonist. Only downside of the film is that I still hate Awkwafina and all her films since she just plays as herself.

Ok I finally saw it & its pretty good! I'd say it was still more about the main character. And Awkwafina wasn't bad in this one. Definitely a little more serious than other movies. But I need them to confirm if she's dude's girlfriend or not lol. I thought the special effects could be better. Def not as good as Eternals there. I also still don't like how they did the Mandarin & that Iron Man never got to face his main comic nemesis in the MCU. It's just another example of how Hollywood caters to China to make money.

It's just another example of how Hollywood caters to China to make money.This! LOL! I saw rumors that true reason why they didn’t make the Mandarin Chinese in Iron man 3 was to avoid insulting the CCP having a Chinese villain. I guess it’s okay now as long as the protagonist is also Chinese. They’re even putting Chinese actors awkwardly in some hollywood movies now just to get some of that Chinese money. 🤷♂️
- @Cheese9Man They did the same with some of the Transformers movies. It's glaringly obvious which movies they do it with, especially if they plan to release the film in China. The Olympics they did it in 2008 when Taiwan had to compete under the name Chinese Taipei & had to fly a different flag as well.
