The problem is, 95% of all origin-story movies are going to feel like retreads of the same story, because how often can you do the arc of a hero learning to be a hero for the first time and have it feel completely fresh? Black Panther and Shang-Chi might feel even more similar because both involve someone inheriting an ancient legacy that's been in their family for years, but that's not entirely uncommon for origin stories either (The Phantom did it 80+ years ago). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:957586425] in I got to s...
