HIIIIIIIIII!! Phase 4 of MCU continues. Click here to watchalong. 

K, some disclaimers. First, I forgot how Shang is pronounced. Def a name I've seen typed more than heard in my life. Second, I forgot that we've heard/seen the Ten Rings group before waaaaaaaay back in the Iron Man movies. Just another reason why I need to re-watch them like ASAP, which I'm gonna try my best to start soon because I'm getting frustrated at myself for not remembering things.

This franchise is TOO BIG. 😂

Anyway, that's about it for pre-reaction info. Please enjoy!

Cheers,

The first time I remember seeing Tony Leung was in the movie "In the Mood For Love." REALLY good movie. His co-star in that, Maggie Cheung, I had a crush on for a while and she was with Michelle Yeoh in a set of action movies called "The Heroic Trio." Those were fun. Another good earlier Michelle Yeoh movie is "Wing Chun" which is based off of a real woman and Kung Fu style. Those were in 1993 and '94, respectively.

You seemed a little surprised when Trevor explained that he had unknowingly done an unflattering portrait of Wenwu, but that's what Wenwu was talking about at the dinner table to Katie when he was saying that names were sacred and that an American terrorist usurped his name and The Ten Rings to attack the American government (Iron Man 3) and chose the name of an orange to strike the fear in the American people. You were taking notice of the faces Shang-Chi and his sister were making during the story though. That was definitely when fans of the comics were breathing a sigh of relief that they were acknowledging that neither Trevor (nor Killian) were the REAL "Mandarin." It was still a shock for us to see Trevor show up again. A very pleasant shock. 😁 The reason why hardcore Iron Man comics fans were upset is because "The Mandarin" is basically Iron Man's nemesis in the comics. He and the Ten Rings were basically seeded through Iron Man movies starting with the first one as that was the group that kidnapped Tony at the beginning of the movie and wanted him to build them one of his Jericho missles.

Oh I understood everything! Sorry if it seemed like I didn't. My surprised reaction was at the reveal that it was their Dad who had been behind that all along.
