Shang Chi isn't a completely new character, but he is so obscure even to Marvel comic fans, that he may as well be a completely new character to movie fans. --- "Well, it's not a bad game.

The movie doesn't need to spell things out in exact terms. Marvel has a long history of giving vague hints that end up making more sense later on. They've been tight-lipped on exact details for a long time now, so I'm not sure why we should now expect them to tell us exactly what direction they're going in with future movies. If you look at easter egg videos in relation to Shang-Chi, you would even see that they've been sprinkling Ten Rings references throughout other MCU movies way before this movie was even announced. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:957763628] in Shang Chi ...
