Marvel Super Heroes was already X-Men: Children of the Atom 2. 😉
(What you want is a reference to the Vs. series.)
i know next to nothing about this character, and the first trailers didn't make me interested. This one though… I'm all in!
This trailer spoils...WAY too much of the movie, honestly.
This is a change. The rings also each have unique powers in the comics.

Huh if he does get the Ten Rings then he'll be above Widow and Hawkeye tier. He'd maybe be like mid, right below the likes of Thor, Wanda, Marvel and Hulk. Shang-Chi just using his martial arts with chi would own Widow and Hawkeye. Hell, he'd probably own Steve and Bucky as well.
Never got the needs to be more powerful discussion.
Eh, to me Hawkeye pretty much has a super power. The dude never misses ever unless he intended to? That's a super power to me. But yeah without powers he's basically a slightly better fighter than Black Widow and Ayo.
The rings are pretty cool but I feel conflicted about him having it. Part of me still just wants him to have developed some kind of super strength and stuff on his own through training. But I'm also cool if they want a different take on Shang Chi by having him utilize the rings.
I feel like he will reject the rings and destroy them in the end though.
It's a change, because in the comics the rings were also alien tech from a crashed spaceship manned by shape shifting dragons. We're probably not getting any of that!
This was also what I remembered, they had different powers. Maybe a slight depowering in the MCU, as weren't some of them reality bending?
Unless he is on a quest to stop his father, why does Shang Chi even care? Dude seems like an awful person. Drop him from your life and move on and let the Avengers handle it or something.
The rings might be one of the sorcerer items from Dr Strange in the MCU so Wong is there to retrieve them? Then Wong trust Shang Chi in the end with them. Either way Dr Strange seems to be involved in everything now even if he doesn't show up in them
So Fin Fang Foom, Wong and Abomination are in this?
Was there anyone else we missed? Who else wants to cameo?

Correct. They were designed in the comics to be the perfect counterpoint to Tony Stark's hyper-focus on technology by being super magical.
Ironically they ended up being alien technology via retcons anyway, but the idea was tech vs. magic. And they're ABSURDLY powerful. They've toned them down a lot because Shang-Chi would be pretty fucked against a full-powered Mandarin.
Abomination
Xialing (presumably the MCU version of Zheng Bao Yu)
The Mandarin
Death Dealer
Razor Fist
That's a lot of villains jam packed into a solo hero's first outing.
Razor Fist and Death Dealer are obviously the throwaway henchmen that won't make it to the end,
Abomination is the special appearance villain that will cause ruckus early on for a plot point, but then be quickly dispatched to reappear in She-Hulk later.
Xialing is a throwaway plot point as well, unless they decide to have her switch sides
Mandarin obviously the big bad, he'll most likely make it through to the end of the movie in prison.

Shang-Chi caused that runaway bus accident on purpose to contact the Avengers since he doesn't have their phone number
All i keep seeing is Zhou Yu left Wu to become the master of 10 rings lol. Warriors Orochi here we come..........
Speaking from experience, toxicity from Asian families is tough to escape from.
it seems like his dad is forcing him back to take over the fam business
It would be hilarious if they attempted the Professor Hulk process and he ended up like this.
Honestly bracelets feel more visually interesting.
The normal rings would sort of feel like a retread of the Infinity Gauntlet. It would honestly a cool setup/callback if the rings were similar to the Infinity Stones and Tony had to deal with them before the Infinity movies.
