6 Thoughts on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is here and it was awesome! I was very excited for this movie, excited to see martial arts done right on the big screen and excited for the newness of the whole endeavor. I’m also a big fan of representation in media, so I was excited to see Marvel bring an Asian main character into the MCU.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
I wasn’t as completely blown away by the movie as I was hoping to be. I had really high hopes for Shang-Chi, and they were mostly met. It’s another fine, enjoyable Marvel movie. I liked everybody in the movie and I definitely look forward to everyone showing up again, both in a sequel and in some future team-ups. I look forward to them joining the circus, and I hope the success Shang-Chi has seen at the box office during the pandemic is more than enough for Marvel to greenlight sequels and more.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings comes out this week, so how about some Black Widow fun? How about the video of How Black Widow Should Have Ended! There is indeed an annoying amount of Batman and Superman in this video, but the rest is quality alternate ending stuff!
This is a good way to start a hopefully Marvel-filled week of fun!

6 Things I Want to See in Spider-Man: No Way Home
The first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived this week and the internet is having a celebration! Not all of the rumors were confirmed in the trailer, but enough has been teased that everybody seems pretty happy. I’m very excited myself. And as with most upcoming superhero movies, I have a list of demands!
Anything can happen in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The multiverse has been broken open, Into the Spider-Verse was a huge success, a lot of actors are still around; this movie could have everything. The only way to know for sure is to see it when it comes out on Dec. 17. But until then, I’m going to speculate wildly about what exactly I hope to see in this new movie. Life is just fun that way.
And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams for Spider-Man: No Way Home in the comments!
Read the rest of this entryLet’s Take a Big, Long Look at the Eternals This Time!
A new trailer for Eternals has arrived and it’s pretty crazy. This one really dives deep into what these characters can do and what they’re all about. And it’s all big and cosmic and crazy, with monsters and powers and explanations.
Personally, I don’t need every facet of this movie to explain why they didn’t help against Thanos. But then I’m not one of those people who demands to know why the other Avengers don’t lend a hand in the various solo movies. Just watch the dang film in front of you. Do you help out every single time every one of your friends needs help moving?
Anyway, this looks solid. Part of me is worried that it’s still too big and too crazy to land with audiences. And this trailer does a lot to reference other parts of the Marvel Universe, which makes me think Disney is a little worried as well. It’s like they feel the need to reinforce it’s connections to the MCU to make sure people see it.
I guess we’ll find out when Eternals arrives in theaters on Nov. 5!

Hawkeye Show Coming in November!
Entertainment Weekly put out a nice article yesterday revealing that the Hawkeye TV show will come out on Disney+ on Nov. 24, just in time for families to get together and discuss the first episode on Thanksgiving! And check out this first official image.
That’s Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld as Clint Barton and Kate Bishop. We know various things about this show and all of them sound good. We’re going to get shades of the Trenchcoat Mafia. There’s rumors of some other characters showing up that I don’t want to spoil here. It’s basically sounding like a really solid show.
Hawkeye will be six episodes and that will take us through the end of the year. Likely that means Ms. Marvel will debut sometime in January, because Marvel doesn’t want to overlap shows. And all of that sounds good to me!
