Kang’s multiversal engine core, which Janet blew up and then Scott blew up again after fixing it, was made of many circles rotating around a sphere.
Kang’s entire citadel was made of circular mechanisms. At one point Kang even yells, “don’t let him [Scott] interfere with the rings.” Rings that glowed both yellowish and bluish hues.
You know who else has rings that glow blue and yellow? Shang-Chi. They started glowing yellow when he took them from Wenwu (they also glowed that color when his mother used them). I think this symbolizes a different universe. Shang-Chi and his mother are from a place other than Earth.
Kamala Khan’s bangle also is a circle. And it does something with time, since it created a time loop tp save her grandmother. She can use it to pull energy from other dimensions but that doesn’t seem to be its intended function. It is something unique to her.
I think, because time is no longer a straight line, when Scott shoved Kang into the multiversal engine with Pym particles, it made the rings oddly sized. Like person’s wrist sized. Wenwu discovered the rings and used them as weapons he can control with his mind (Kang controls his ship with his mind). But when someone from another reality used them, it set off a beacon, probably to this Kang.
What the beacon probably doesn’t say is that there is yet another ring, Kamala’s bangle, that is necessary for the multiversal engine core to work. And the bangle seems to be transporting people—Kamala, Monica and Carol—places without Kamala meaning it to. Who is controlling them?
Where the Conqueror Kang is right now is a question. If the rings survived then surely he did too.
ETA: And, of course, we know Destin Daniel Cretton who directed Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is announced as the director of Avengers: Kang Dynasty so it's not a leap to assume Shang Chi is a crucial piece of it.
Although I am unclear if the Kang Dynasty movie is about the Council of Kangs attacking or Kang the Conqueror attacking. I feel like both are coming. "Kang Dynasty" sounds like the council. But what if the Conqueror arrives at the end at beats them? Like the Avengers have already done a lot of his work for him but beating other Kangs?
It's be neat if that Avengers movie were in SF, with the Ant-Fam and Shang Chi. The bus fight in Shang Chi was cool because you felt the stakes of it. I haven't felt like the Avengers have been rooted in a real place since the first Avengers. (Although I guess there was that field in Wakanda lol). But Marvel is supposed to be in real places unlike DC.
saw venom 2 and it was pretty meh outside of the final fight but it had me thinking
teamup movie when? they all operate/work/live in san francisco and are the best heroes i need sonic and scott to exchange funny quips and i wanna see shang chi and knux spar together, with venom generally treating the wachowskis as if they were his chicken and eddie petting tails it would be so cool
Is the restaurant they are eating at at the end of antman and the wasp quantumania the same as the restuarant the in Shang-Chi and the ten rings? The one Shang and Katy go to? The brick pillars look similar
Just saw Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, 10/10 would recommend. One of my favorite things was the fact that they didn’t suddenly turn Katy in the love interest halfway through the movie. She was his best friend and stayed that way, no sudden awkward love confession. Also, the end with Xialing taking over and turning the Ten Rings into a female fighting force? Pure genius.
I feel like everyone saw Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings ages ago and i just watched it for the first time. So i’m a bit late to the party.
Anyways i don’t have any complaints about it really, i just really liked it. the plot was interesting, the characters were cool, and the action scenes were absolutely amazing i loved watching them oh my god. So yeah, just all around a really good movie.
So yeah, that’s my mini review of Shang-Chi one year late. Have a nice day!
