Welcome back everyone it's charlie to be my new shang chi trailer video marvel released
a whole bunch of new footage obviously this is all focusing on hyping him up with the
avengers implying that he will eventually crossover with the avengers eventually kind
of winking at that behind the camera.
The director was also talking about the post credit scene.
So we'll break it all down.
If you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos I will
be doing a whole bunch of videos for the movie after he comes out and I do get a chance to
see it early with the critics screenings this week then I'll post a review video is soon
as Marvel allows us to do that.
But as of me posting this video I have not seen it yet.
In case you forgot the movies after coming out in a couple weeks.
Hopefully theaters are open where you live around the world.
But it is avengers trailer they hype up all that Marvel phase one footage in her cutting
with Iron Man, Captain America in Thor's hammer with the footage of shang chi's father the
mandarins showing him the 10 rings like opening that case literally showing him the rings,
there's a conversation that they have in the other trailer footage were he says, the rings
are calling to you now is one of the big reasons why he wants him to come back after his big
rum spring up for the past 10 years and take up the Corto quote family business that while
they're playing all that avengers footage with his footage Michelle Yeoh's character
says you're a product of all who came before you civil wasn't clear from all the trailer footage
Another was some confusion about the timeline.
The director actually literally just confirm my theory that the movie was set in present
day after avengers endgame.
I did a video little while ago explaining the whole timeline of marvel phase 4 with
the Disney plus series are happening right now they're using the avengers infinity saga
movies in the original avengers characters.
To say that in the real world this new shang chi movie is also a product of all the stuff
that Marvel has been doing since that first iron man movie metaphorically and literally
because of all the 10 rings Mandarin Easter eggs in the first Iron Man movie.
It was another trailer they released earlier were Kevin Feige was talking about the connection
to the real Mandarin of the MCU and what was happening during the first Iron Man film think
that was the real Mandarin who was working through this cell that attacked Tony Stark's
convoy to steal their weapons, but using all his avengers footage in the way they talk about it
It's also a clever way that marvel is saying that shang chi will join the avengers in Avengers
5 when they make that movie in a couple years to be a little while before we see Avengers
5 in the separate clip at the end of that footage.
They also have the joke about the dance off battle to save the universe from guardians
of the galaxy.
When he's talking about all the characters that he wants shang chi to crossover with
in future marvel movies.
I'm surprised he says get a slice of pizza with Iron Man and they didn't go for the swarm
a namedrop just because I feel like the obvious go to if you're making a bunch of classic avengers references
But he namedrop's Iron Man twice and I understand that this is meant to be a promo to get people
hyped up to buy tickets to the movies they wanted to be very positive and happy one a
huge record drop jokes.
But Akwafina should have been.
Like well know you can't get pizza with Iron Man because he's dead. He Died.
This is one of those conversations that you have what you're waiting in line to comic
con for Hall age talking about the multiverse.
Well you know technically he could get pizza with the multiverse version of Iron Man, but
my only big criticism of a lot of the promos that they release for movies like this is
they tend to get kind of bland with the references they make.
Like they don't want to be too confusing.
Like maybe some people haven't watch Loki they don't understand how variance works.
He couldn't say I'd love to get a slice of pizza with an iron man variant Tony Stark variant
But bringing background of the actual 10 rings of power in the context of the shang chi movie
story Michelle yells characters after having this conversation with him when she's training
him saying that he's both a product of his mother who they're implying was a really good
person, it is also a product of his father the Mandarin is a huge marvel villain was
her having the Darth Vader conversation with them.
Like yes Luke Skywalker in the MCU.
Your mother was pad may she was a very good person in your father is Darth Vader you're
going to have to reckon with that.
But being the son of one of the biggest villains in the MCU doesn't have to dictate your destiny,
or define who you are is very broad.
Joseph Campbell heroes journey type of storytelling that you see and a lot of these big comic book movies
They did the exact same thing with Peter Quill and the guardians of the galaxy movies his
father one of the biggest cosmic marvel villains metaphorically and literally because he is
the size of a planet later during the trailer footage you see him taking the 10 rings of
power from the Mandarin as they bond with his arms their energy changes from the blue
energy that the Mandarin was giving off to the gold energy the you see given off by the
dragons flying around this ancient village because the way they explained a lot of these
bigger cosmic characters powers in the MCU.
I'm just wondering if his mother is supposed to be part Dragon or this is him wielding
the same kind cosmic energy that his mother's people these monks use because it looks very
similar to the energy of these staffs in this giant door in the background here also kind
of wondering if his mother came from this group of monks this protecting this special
door here with the great protector Dragon whose name basically says that all their here
to protect something they've changed a lot about the mandarins back story in the back
story the 10 rings of power in the MCU.
But the movies coming out in a couple weeks.
So thankfully we won't have to wait that long to get all the answers but really easy prediction
to make for the next big avengers movie.
Because shang chi is supposed to be in that next big avengers film all the scenes of him
wielding the power of the rings with his gold energy that is giving up is exactly what is
going to look like in that next avengers movie when is crossing over with all these the characters
their having some big fight the other big question now to I'm also wondering if his
power arc in the MCU's can be similar to Thor's power arc, because the way they played him
over his trilogy movies.
I'm getting for Thor films is going to be a little bit different.
But in the first two Thor movies.
He got better and better with the Hammer more creative use of hammer then we get to Thor
Ragnarok they take the hammer away in eventually Thor learned that it was never about the hammer
he's not the god of hammers.
So maybe in the MCU shang chi will have a similar arc with Thor in his sequels.
The whole thing with this longer fight scene that they put in here, the scaffolding fight
scene is just meant to showcase the martial arts action scenes throughout the movie.
This is marvel's first big kung fu action film the whole idea the character is that
originally when Marvel introduced them in the comics, he was meant to be they are version
of Bruce Lee.
Just because he was introduced during the big 1970s kung fu craze and pop-culture this
is kind of like marvel trying to do a Bruce Lee kung fu action movie marvel's enter the
Dragon only in this movie.
They have an actual Dragon even happier tournament arc like you had in the enter the Dragon movie.
I believe between all the different trailer footage we see in the past month we've seen
small pieces of all the biggest fight scenes in the movie, but in terms of post credit
scenes mid credit scenes as I said the director did say that definitely states in the credits,
because there's some really important post credit scenes I think because he's a brand-new
character in the MCU.
They also want to have some really big post credit scene.
But remember the mid credit scenes that Marvel does usually are just funny moments to pay
off something that happened earlier in the movie in a funny way.
Like with the characters may be a scene paying off the joke about Wong getting his ass kicked
by the abomination all the really big stuff that they do usually happens in the actual
post credit scenes.
That's the one that they use to push story forward and tease the next big movie or some
movie this coming down the road to easy pics right now are like a scene with Val and the
abomination setting up more thunderbolts her dark avengers connecting things more to thunderbolt
Ross or a bigger doctor strange 2 scene with long connecting to that movie.
The next movie.
Right after shang chi is the Eternals movie.
But the thing is is this not a really huge connection between the Eternals characters
in the shang chi characters other than to say the Mandarin character in the Eternals
characters are all extremely long-lived so the Eternals would probably know about the
10 rings of power.
He does live in San Francisco.
So the next best option could also be a multiverse teaser through Kang the conqueror in Ant-Man 3
That's a bit of a stretch so post all you theories in the comments below what you think
the shang chi post credit scenes are going to be like I said if I do get a chance to
see the movie early this week will post my review as soon as Marvel lets us do that my
full marvel what if episode 2 video will post on Wednesday.
That's the Black Panther T'challa Star Lord episode.
So make sure you have alerts enabled so you don't miss that.
Because it is going to be a banger they just did a big Spider-Man no way home first look
video for that new scene from the movie that we got a look at in some new promos they released.
So click here for that and click here for that what if episode 2 trailer video.
Thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and I'll see you the next video!
