I served time in federal prison which turned out to be the best thing for me i got clean i
rediscovered my passion then my dad broke you out exactly to kill you exactly but just as his men
were tying me up for my execution i launched into a performance of my macbeth whence is that
knocking away duncan with their knocking i wish though because they couldn't get enough of it
i've been doing weekly ghosts for lads ever since so you're like is jester i can give you
a quick preview if you like an uncle and uncle now thank you trevor i think we're okay right
now we really just need to find a way to what the hell what the oh what is that oh whoo what's what
I can see you you're real all this time i thought it was hallucinating him oh this is such fab news
where's his face he's a bit sensitive about that Welcome back everyone this is my new marvel
Shang Chi video for the alternate ending and some deleted scenes the director came out and explained
a couple versions of the ending that they played with before we got to the theatrical version
so we'll break it down we also got that brand new trevor scenes well i'll talk about him too
if you're brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos now that
the movie's been out for a while we're going to start seeing some more eternals trailer videos too
because that's coming out in november and i should say careful for spoilers for the ending of the
movie if you have not seen it yet but since they released the film the directors come out and said
that they had multiple different endings to the movie in different versions of the post-credits
scene with different avengers characters showing up in a different setting so during the actual
ending of the movie wenwoo the real mcu mandarin even though as he explained that was never really
his name winds up having a full-on star wars return of the jedi darth vader arc he and Shang
Chi fight until he's able to show him the true power of the ten rings wielding the same type of
dragon energy that his mother did at the beginning of the film and like luke skywalker is finally
able to convince his father that he's wrong his mother when wu's wife has not been speaking to him
through the ten rings it's been the dweller in darkness one of the cosmic marvel fearlords
from another dimension inside the mcu who's been gaslighting him this whole time although there's a
really interesting theory about what's going on with the capital cities of heaven and the iron
fist mythology that i'll probably do in a separate video but it's not really relevant for deleted
scenes of the actual ending of the film so when woo like darth vader sacrifices himself to save
Shang Chi but in doing so passes him the ten rings like passes them to him formally like here these
belong to you now they're your responsibility then properly gets his soul sucked out by the
dweller and darkness killing him and if it wasn't clear they show you his dead body hit the ground
so he's meant to be dead shang chi uses the great protector dragon's energy and the ten rings to go
full goku dragon ball super saiyan killing the dweller in darkness so this is where the director
says they had this alternate ending originally he said that they made a huge change to the plot
so in the alternate ending originally they were going to have wen wu his father survived the final
battle and he wasn't going to be killed by the dweller in darkness but they had still planned
on having the post-credits scene be his sister Xialing taking over the 10 rings organization
and making all the changes that we saw in the final version of the movie the most notable one
being that she allows women to become soldiers and assassins like the 10 rings version of black
widows and the stinger message at the end was always going to be the 10 rings will return as
in come back in another mcu project movie disney plus series before Shang Chi 2 the sequel movie
so in the alternate ending where when woo was going to live he would have just left the 10
rings too Xialing stopped being the mandarin again even though technically he wasn't the mandarin
to begin with but it would have been similar to what he did earlier in the film when he married
shang chi's mother and started his family because he still would have passed the ten rings of power
to Shang Chi so then he would have faded into the background metaphorically not wanting to
be evil anymore wanting to atone for some of his actions and started being a better father
that was the whole message during their big final fight as like your family needs
you stop being so crazy so he was always going to pass leadership of the ten ring to sha ling
but in the version where he lived it would have just happened in a much more formal way
but the end result is the same mostly the director said the reason why they decided to kill him off
even though tony lung was amazing in the film is because they said they were going for the
most impactful moment in him dying wound up being a more impactful conclusion to his arc
like star wars return of the jedi style darth vader dies to save his children although because
we have the what if series like what if when woo had lived if you're a big fan of star wars
else world stories there was a comic book a long time ago where they basically did what if darth
vader had lived after return of the jedi and then started helping the rebellion dismantle the empire
he starts wearing this white version of his sith armor it's just a funny what if version of a star
wars story but kevin biggie said the reason why they use the ten rings will return message as the
stinger at the end instead of having it say shang chi will return because a lot of times like after
the first captain america movie it says captain america will return because the avengers movie
was happening next kevin feige said at this point there have been so many marvel films
and because of what they did with the mid credits scene they said that they felt like the audience
would automatically assume shang chi would be back for more movies so they didn't need to tell them
in a stinger message at the end like oh we always assumed he would come back the whole mid-credit
scene was meant to tease the shang chi sequels in avengers 5. with the details about the ten
rings being more ancient than the records of kamar taj the doctor strange and wong have they're from
another dimension and they were broadcasting a signal to whoever created the ten rings
in the way they played it it was meant to be more ominous like it wasn't a good character like some
great powerful ancient cosmic villain i've already talked about who i think that is in some of my
other post-credits scene videos so i'll link those at the end of this and down in the description but
pretty much everybody assumes Shang Chi is coming back so kevin feige said they just wanted to do
something unexpected with that stinger because more casual fans would have probably assumed
that the 10 ranks organization would be gone after wenwu died big twist though his sister takes over
sharon carter power broker style that's kind of the vibe they're going for like his sister Xialing
isn't evil sharon carter is not evil now even though she's the power broker they're meant to
be morally gray characters sort of playing between the lines like julia louis dreyfus's val character
the director also clarified that there were other versions of the mid-credits scene too that they
worked on but ultimately it was kevin feige and the other marvel producers in the powers-that-be
who chose which characters were in the mid-credits scene and what they were doing in the big credits
scene all that dialogue like everything about this and how it went down was dictated by kevin feige
with some input from the director the only thing the director said that he wanted in this scene
here was that he wanted them to include brie larson's captain marvel because he'd worked with
her on a separate movie in the past and they were friends so he just wanted to work with her again
that was his only note but everything else came from kevin feige but that's why they did the scene
with the avengers zoom call because it was the easy way to explain how she could be there when
currently in present day heading into captain marvel 2 she's still over in the cree scroll
part of the galaxy the whole reason for the hulk being there was to tease what's going on with him
during she-hulk and the reason why they have him looking like banner again like he's turned back
into banner from professor hulk and obviously all the details about the 10 rings were meant to tease
Shang Chi 2 avengers 5 and the larger stuff that they'll continue to set up in the sequels but the
whole thing with the trevor scene just to move on to that with his backstory after iron man 3 as
he explains he went to seagate prison where they were keeping justin hammer maybe he'll come back
for armor wars it seems like everybody's coming back from the marvel phase 1 and phase 2 movies
but when wu's men broke him out of prison during the events of the marvel one shot all hail the
king during this scene here then as he explains they took him back to wenwu's compound after this
and they were about to execute him for creating all this negative attention around wenwoo and
the ten rings but he started to act so ridiculous as they were about to kill him that they started
laughing and decided to keep him around as their court jester just doing performances for all of
wenwu's men at the compound the whole thing with morris that he was the magical creature from ta-lo
was captured by wenwu later in the timeline after he'd captured trevor they said that he was picked
up during one of wenwu's many attempts to find alternate ways into tolo the alternate dimension
through the forest and if it wasn't clear tallow is not meant to be on planet earth it's
in a different dimension completely morris just happened to be in the forest when wu's men found
him there the reason why he was able to navigate the maze so easily though is because as he says
he's super old he grew up with shang chi's mother even though you can't tell from looking at him
and he'd lived in that area for so long playing in the forest for so long learning how it worked
his whole life so navigating for him became second nature it's the same thing with Shang Chi's mother
she could have navigated the forest maze with her eyes closed and even though at the end of
the movie they don't completely show you what happens to trevor and morris it's implied that
morris stayed in tahlo with the others of his kind and trevor went back to earth in the main
mcu dimension and they just let him go free i'm not expecting ben kingsley to come back in the
sequels but i suppose there's always a chance for more small cameo scenes but i kind of feel
like they completely paid off his character's arc during the movie like the whole point of putting
him in it was to explain what happened after this scene and they did that pretty completely
but if we learn about any other big alternate endings or major deleted scenes i'll include
them in my future videos usually we don't find out about all them until the blu-ray and home
video releases which will actually be in the next couple of months so you won't have to wait that
long if you've had problems seeing the movie in theaters like i said eternals is gonna be the
next big movie coming out in november that's gonna be a theatrical release they're not making any big
changes to that spider-man no way home coming out in december no major changes to that either
and the actual good news is that venom let there be carnage got moved up it's coming out at the
beginning of october i've got a couple new trailer videos for that that i'll post in the next couple
of days too so make sure you have alerts enabled for my channel so you don't miss any of that
