SHANG CHI: Every Easter Egg and Full BREAKDOWN + Every MCU Connection | What's Next For Marvel 

He mandarin

Your mom. Also the person below me hasn't watched the movie and is a piece of garbage. The movie and Shaun-Chi is amazing.

This character sucks, no cool "bus fight scene" is enough.

@@jpsrandom6943 did you even see the movie?

I think it's the Eternals are who made the rings and now it's calling to them. Ten rings, Ten Eternals who came to earth. And that soul sucker kinda looks like the Deviants

Oh I didn’t know! Good point!

Yes, he's not die when he have rings in hand when he release he's soul sucked .Good point

He thought his Son needed to see him die to make him stronger

Agreed. When he realized his son was right about his wife, then saw his son handle the rings like Dad never could, he was ready to go - and happy to do so.

Also if Wenwu kept The 10 Rings he would be an endless battery for the Queen Soul Sucker.

omg the landlord!

holy shit!!!! I knew he looked familiar!!!!! he's the drunken kung fu style landlord!!!

The elevator attendant was the barber from kung fu hustle as well

He's also Bruce Lee's stunt double. Legend in chinese kung fu films too.

first time i saw him, i was like "hol up a minute, is that the landlord??" he's a lot older now so i wasn't sure, but i looked up the cast online, and yoooo it really was the landlord!! it's so cool to see so many legendary asian actors i grew up watching in the movie

Did you catch that Aldrich Killian Easter egg when Shang chi and awkrafina get off the bus and go to the fight please right after the sumo slams the guy the next fighter is a fire 🔥 guy like the ones in iron man 3 wasn’t expecting that and apparently nobody catch it

Sucks the real Mandarin still didn’t get to fight Ironman. He would’ve pulled out a good fight against Tony and they must’ve become great rivals just like in the comics

The twist in Iron Man 3 twist was brilliant

@@kassimparekh1639 more people than you think caught that kind of stuff

@@ethanstages3844 good I thought I was just seeing things

lmao i read that in steven he's voice. thanks for the laugh

20.....

Yeah for real, reminded me of House of flying daggers or hero

Reminds me of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fight scenes.

thats how Chinese people make love (I'm Chinese)

That reminded me on a Chinese movie: 5 elements.

Loved seeing them bring in asian culture with Hong Kong fighting movies

shang chi had a tiger style martial arts because of… his *tiger* parenting

Not just in Asia, in Europe as well

I'm as white as a ghost, and my mom made everybody take their shoes off before coming in the house.

Cool

That's just normal

What if ppl burst into the house unexpectedly? Lol like what if razor fist attacked there instead of the bus? That would have been great seeing him kickass without shoes on haha

Also she made that in her first fight with Shang chi father

Yeah, that's the Ta Lo fighting stance.

And the auntie

I am pretty sure noticed it

It's a banger

@@aswinstone first time I heard a whole new world as a banger.

@@mlguy8376 it's true.

@Jefferson Lopez Only joke round here is you kid.

@Jefferson Lopez First off, I “literally” said, “Easily ONE of the best.” So learn how to read KID. Secondly, I can point to a dozen things about the film that put it head-to-head with any MCU origin story made thus far, as can anyone with two eyes and a brain. So where’s the exaggeration? But I can see such rhetoric would be wasted on someone who can’t even read and understand basic sentences.

It was the best stand alone MCU movie in my opinion as well

It was the best marvel origin movie next to doctor strange

@Jefferson Lopez what’s better then?

Thank you!

Marvel trying to pander to the Chinese audience failed miserably at the name 😂

thanks for educating

Thank you. I believe many people also assume Shang Qi to be the character's full name which is actually Xu Shang Qi, with Shang Qi being the given name of two syllables.

Thank you! Nice explanation

BONESAW IS READY

"You ain't going nowhere" is one of my fav quotes, especially when my coworkers are trying to go home early

Also a post credits scene usually connects to the next MCU movie - which is Eternals!

100% agree it was the eternals

But eternal was supposed to come out first

@@joshuaestrada2376 Could be connected anyway.

For real, I also thought the demons looked like the deviants, let's see what Eternals tells us about it!

In this timeline, Yes.

I know this is a crazy first

😮

True. A rare treat.

Only cus Ryan's mom helped

They’re just called Black Widows

100% what I was thinking

"Aghhhh Lee, help me!" "CARTEEER!!!"

"Chinese bamboo very strong!"

Oh good. Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that lol.

@@fin._.thehuman lowkey wished shang chi really said it, it would have been a funny easter egg.

It’s football not soccer

@@Jeromey121 of course bro but i’m talking to americans 😂

@@nabilbennani5348 it’s 2021, do people think that you can’t say “Liverpool football club” and Americans are going to shit their pants “Liverpool?! Is that a brand new NFL team?! Football surely only means one thing!!” Also Glory Glory Man United. Let’s go Ronaldo

they are called LFC not LSC

soccer is still a universal noun for the sport as it avoids confusion fixed it

And the open palm allowed him to "invite" the rings to come to him.

Also sticky hands fighting where there is always one contact

I noticed that the mandarin got a 20 year break just like the talibans, they know stuff

Yeah, What If.. is canon if you didn’t already know.

@@jesseschreiber3289 of course it is, but I was pointing out how the movie relates to the new episode in particular, having similar stories and possibly a multiversal Demon connection. What grief makes people do, seems like a theme the MCU is going for right now, 2 episodes of What If, Shang Chi and Wandavision, even FATWS had that with Walker.

@@patax144 Some people still don’t know or believe what if is canon I’ve had to yell at people over it

My first though exactly.

His name's Tony Leung tho... 😏

And they stab the soul suckers with their knives and can’t kill the beasts.

Perhaps, but it’s mostly about drug abuse. The whole song is. The steely knives are needles.

@@PickledGamesOfficial in the movie they show it literally so it was a fun easter egg for people to catch

Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening

I noticed that too. Exactly the same line that he said about a goat in the road in Sexy Beast.

you guys are good

@Luke Clifton yes!!! He has an impt role as well in the film! Loved it when I saw him :)

If anybody played marvel ultimate alliance you know this man was a beast.

I believe the rings will have something to do with the Eternals

Wenwu: "小伙子，我吃盐比你吃饭还要多" this line cracked the whole theatre up

Yess, it did! I was thinking of the devil and angel characters too.

Yang is masculine energy/tied to the sun and Yin is feminine energy/tied to the moon. Yang energy can sometimes even be reckless. Neither is bad or good, you need balance. Yin-yang is about a dynamic balance of opposing but complementary and interconnected forces, also known as chi. That's why Shang Chi's aunt told him he needed to balance both his parents' past to find himself. Please understand Chinese culture before attempting to explain this according to what you think is Yin-yang. Thanks. Note: Despite the username, I am Chinese.

Perhaps he was trying to let Trevor know "who" was talking about in a way he would understand, as in, "The Mandarin". Yes, it's a big stretch and a major retconing but hey, you gotta just let some things slide. It's amazing enough they've kept an ongoing, episodic film series for more than a decade+ and still going.

I get it. Would have been better if that assassin told him that he assumed his identity.

thats a western symbol tho

@@Uns46 I bet there are examples of "Eastern" symbols to be found in the west as well, the human mind doesnt know boundaries, theres a universal unconscious at work. look at shapes like pyramids that crop up in Africa and South America, its all connected. anyway, it looked to me like a mobius strip, just my interpretation, true believer!

@@mobyt.3900 yes I see where you are coming from. But why does a 5000 year old civilization has a relatively new symbol from the recent 200 years of history? I can understand why a 200 old civilization learning from a 5000 year old civilization, not the other way around. The thousand year old guardian dragon living in the lake does not even know the existence of Möbius strip that was designed in 1858. Does it make sense? The timeline is wrong haha

@@Uns46 okay, how about this: its just a movie! I was just making an observation, it doesnt have to be a deep historical thing. I enjoyed the movie and really appreciated the way it was handled, the teasing out of the flashbacks, the making a ruthless killer into a sympathetic bad guy, it was genius.

@@mobyt.3900 yes I loved the movie too. 👌

Yeah WTF. Like they're buddies or something. Also why is Wong opening a portal in the middle of a restaurant? Are normal people used to seeing magic portals in the MCU?

@@SwatBeatsOfficial I’d imagine nothing really surprises people much anymore in that world.

@@SwatBeatsOfficial Aliens, Norse gods, 6 magic stones that can erase half life in the universe if you wish hard enough... magic portals aren't the weirdest thing in the universe...

@@SwatBeatsOfficial Strange opened a portal in the middle of a park in Infinity War like no big deal too. If it ain't illegal then whatever I guess.

Yes! I saw too. And notice how she was fighting the glowing man. One of the enhanced people from iron man 3.

@@edgarcorona5236 saw that! Some Extremis experiment no doubt!

Yes she was fighting an extremis super soldier

@@perksofbeingcurvy4827 I was definitely gonna point that out too.

The last post credits scene has a phalanx of female warriors training at the 10 Ring compound. I think that's where the remaining Black Widows are.

fenghuang凤凰means phoenix

fu dog is actually called 石狮 in Chinese，meaning rock lion

@@Uns46 Yes, rock lion or "shíshī" if going for the pronunciation of the Chinese name. The qilin is actually called 麒麟 in Chinese, but is probably known better in the USA under its Japanese name "kirin" (like the Japanese beer).

@@ripsaber6546 yup you are right. I’m Chinese btw haha

There is no yin or yang colours, bruh. You are Asian, but you are not Chinese. Do not attempt to explain Chinese culture unless you actually understand them, please. White is associated with metal and is actually an unlucky colour in Chinese customs and what we wear to funerals. Yin-yang is about balance/chi not light or dark side. This ain't Star Wars. Blue does not symbolise death in Chinese culture but represents wood in the 5 elements. Red is a colour associated with fire and everything lucky/successful. Yin is not negative. Yin energy is associated with the moon, and Yang energy is associated with the sun. You need a balance of both to attain balance, which is what Michelle Yeoh's character keeps telling Shang Chi. He needs to balance his dad's (Yang) and mother's (Yin) past to find himself. And yes, Yang is masculine while Yin is feminine. That's why Mulan was asked to hide her Yang cos she is meant to be a girl and in those days, it was not appropriate for a woman to practice martial arts.

Well, given this movie, and the latest What If episode, even Spider-Man NWH, Mordo's warnings from the first movie, is definitely a theme they are going for

That is both SO medieval England and certain flavors of Buddhism. (other places too, but England, especially the areas of Northumberland, and Yorkshire! Trade, farming, water rights, all revolved around the monasteries. The monks true job was to continually offer prayers for the "sins of the world") It's fascinating how the comic universe can be nuanced (i.e. Miles Morales) or obliviously racist (Fu Manchu). The MCU has been constructed really well, especially the phase 3+ reconceptualizations!

For real. The Wong connection specifically is odd.

Tbh if they revealed Wong has been a SHIELD agent all along I wouldn't hate that at all. In fact it might even reveal why the infiltrated Hydra SHIELD would have known to watch out for Steven Strange since the Ancient One knew he would arrive eventually SO perhaps Wong knew to some extent as well, if only that the name was important.

I didn't know what to expect & I was blown away! Loved it!

nah

Agreed! It was AMAZING!

He must have used his 7 phd's

It's in the timeline when Banner was puny, before professor hulk

Maybe they thought if he transformed back to human it'd repair the arm or they could only fix his arm if he was in human form since Hulk is pretty much invulnerable?

@@bmorehou This movie made reference to the blip a few times, and he already had the Nano-gauntlet injury, so it cannot be before Prof Hulk.

It's easier to use public toilets that way.

Except Eternals was supposed to come out before Shangchi before COVID so this might not be the case.

@@elvinwong5732 the director of the film confirmed he shot the first credit scene earlier this year during reshoots ,whereas the second one during filming which wrapped back in October of 2020 ,so by earlier this year we already knew Shang Chi was coming out before Eternals so there’s that !

Yeah, good reference. The end credits song was the only thing about the movie I didn’t like.

What do most end credits songs have to do with ANY film?

what scene is this?

Alolan Ninetails

Or he just learned how to do switch back and have control. This is marvel you know they will explain it all in due time. I liked the continuity of him still having the brace which shows how using the gauntlet as the hulk was that damaging

Which means they can basically reset the hulk back to how he use to be to make up for the bs they been giving us

Maybe Amadeus Cho took the Hulk power like the comics

The ring around her almost depicts the sacred timeliness cyclical structure which may link her opening of the darkhold with the events of the timeliness fracturing into the multiverse to find her kids
