Off The Record: Review of Shang-Chi (ft. Dante Basco) 

Nope! Lol

Does he not like the movie?

@@marcelcjr9313 he didn't get a lot of things in this movie. He talks about it on his channel, there was a large uproar in the comments. Not like disrespectful or anything just like not understanding where he was getting his views from. He was kind of nitpicky. But in my opinion he also didn't understand a lot of the Chinese nuances of the film that completed it. If you know them then you really enjoy it and it's exciting to see it come to life because these are long time stories you grow up learning.

@@marcelcjr9313 david doesnt like the movie. Also the part where joe said shang chi holding marvel and asian and bart was like dont fuck up. too late. simu was called "unattractive" by china's standard and now shang chi is not approve for distribution in china. Also, simu took offence to the word "experiment" and twitted to disney saying that Asian are not a an experiment. Disney used the word experiment in the context of how well the movie will do in theater for 1 month before releasing it on disney plus. Disney want to gather information on people's reaction of going back to the theater amid covid since they will be releasing a movie every month until the end of the year

@@marcelcjr9313 David did an actual movie review which requires being really critical on many of the point of the movie but many people didn't understand his explanations on why he felt the way he did bout the movie 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@animatedlife00 The movie wasn't banned because he doesn't fit the beauty standard in China lol it was banned because he has old tweets bashing the Chinese government.

One of the reasons. There were many

they started over a decade ago

But I remember Joe also saying Hollywood isn’t racist, it’s because Asians aren’t trying or something??

Just come to terms they always backtrack on all their comments

@@maann89 yeah major flip flop is what I noticed from watching them since the start.

Same with fala chen, but she just wasnt in the movie alot

Facts both of you

Yes their scenes were terrific

Or ever

Meh

@@shotcalla187 nah

It's ok

Excellent movie. 10/10

Not with the shit they say on JK x_x Andy wants a future in movies

Have you watch Genius Brain podcast when David and Ed talked abt Shang Chi? He roasted the shit out of the movie and Simu. It would be dope if we get to see David and Simu in the same room tho.

He had a lot of good points tho as exemplary the choreography and fighting was the forced cheesy comedy and the weird relationship between Shang chi and his father made the movie feel awkward.

David has always been honest

don't think he ever liked Simu or awkafina. lol

@@wrenchguy2937 I can understand Nora but why Simu?

@@HasanPikerIsADouche its on his channel. Listen to the podcasts on it. He went into the movie not wanting to like it so of course hes gonna nickpick everything

Honestly, I feel as though Shang-Chi needs a girlfriend. I'm tired of my Asian brothers getting no booty in movies.

@@Darth_Bateman lol true, tht would be nice to see.

@@Darth_Bateman let me guess, you want the usual Asian guy with a hot blonde?

@who cares Overplayed. Never see Asian guy with a black girl, Hispanic girl, or any other besides the fetishized blonde. Always hear the Asian guy wants a big titted good looking blonde girl trope.

it was ok for me.. not my favorite

@@iCynnie yea same!

They are literally saying the same points as David, but everyone is on the fake "woke" cancel David train, so everyone is just having on everything he says, while calling him a hater...ironic..😒

The movie was solid 5 out of 10. The movie wasnt bad.

That’s my only critique as well but dope otherwise

100%! that was the most anti climatic shit ever, same with guang bo, like 2 second in command kind of characters getting killed off in 2 seconds like that, so lame

Agreed, only critique for me as well.

Did you watch David’s podcast and came up with that opinion

Yeah it was kinda disappointing especially since the trailers seemed to put so much emphasis on him. But it also kinda made sense as Shang-Chi almost killed him. Showing that he already was a better fighter than Death Dealer.

yha he will be apart of the avengers team

Right? It was EVERYTHING awesome about 90's and 2000's kung fu movies but BETTER.

Dude agree, when I heard that they were making this movie back in 2019 I had very low expectations, but I’ve watched the movie 3x lol

Same, I didn't expect them to integrate the Asian side of things so well. It felt so authentic from the music to the dialogue

his sneakers made him look like he was dressed for a rehearsal. they didn't match at all

He's ruffio first

Exactly!! Dante’s voice can never be replaced!!

Love Andy Lau for life. My favorite actor and singer. He’s my must see in concert before I die list. Even though he’s much older. Haha❤️

NOPE🤣 Reverse that bro

Correction *Tony Leung

Honest yes, but well thought out? uh no. Just look at the comments, there are a lot comments correcting them for inaccuracies or they simply missed the explanation that was presented in the movie.

why so we all can shit on david cause he didn't like the movie like what's wrong with people not just taking it so seriously when one person doesn't like the movie or anything. Like not everyone is going to like it and that's fine

@@mysticstrikeforce5957 David was shitting on the Actor (Simon) & Actress (Aquafina), less so on the character or the movie. Just want to see some sparks fly; it's entertaining.

they were team jordans unfortunately

Agree

?

@MY more noble pursuits ..... just like Bobby lee!!!!!!

Been thinking that for a while myself, I know he'll say he's kidding but he hits on that stuff way too much and it's rarely actually funny lol.

yes

True. But I thought she was good

I wonder why they picked her too but I guess she fits the comedic friend character and she’s pretty well known now

@@forthewin3910 ik ik lol to clarify, I’m not against her being in the movie I just felt like it was predictable. Are there really no more funny Asians left to pick? I guess the problem is they gotta be somewhat pg so mfs like Bobby lee are already off the list

@who cares I can definitely agree with that because we all kno what those ppl had in mind when they brought her in lol they don’t care who she is only what she has to portray but I can’t knock her for that I only knock the directors

Maybe Amber Liu? She’s a kpop artist.

@@DemonFox369 She was a K-Pop star and the scenario they describe definitely IS NOT her.

@@fallibleangel9101 I know

@@DemonFox369 ah yeah true!! she hasn't been on for a while. thanks for taking the time to reply.

Agree

LOOOOL WHAT HE CARRIED THE MOVIE u imbecile

Andy was a future in film, I think, so unlikely. JK (Bart and Joe more so) says too much questionable shit.

Ok, Krab.

Uh that's not what the internet thinks 🤷‍♂️

@@Kamui916 I know, the internet is weird.

Saw ppl talking about Harry Potter this way too. They said there’s a lot of innuendos in it. Idk I’ve never read the books, and only seen one of the movies.

I’d say above average. Not Infinity War level, but top ~6.

Decent kunfu movie like a 7 on scale to 10, and subpar for a marvel movie...still better than Black Widow tho

@@homeboi808 top 6? nah action was one of the best stuff ive seen but parts of the final third just didnt make sense

@Kevin S There are 25 films. That means average is #12-#13. In no order: Iron Man Avengers Infinity War Civil War Ragnarok Those are probably my top 5.

Rewatched the episode for you and the only spoilers would be his outfit I guess. Just the material of what it’s made of.
