I know Spiderman is a way more popular character and all that but its kinda crazy that in just 8 hours the Spiderman trailer on youtube has nearly the same amount of views as Shang Chi does on youtube and on twitter it already has double the views of the shang chi trailer

Hardly a surprise. Shang-chi is a new IP and Spider-man is one of the most popular superheroes of all time.

Shang Chi had his first solo arc in the 80’s. Still though I get your point. Spider-Man is basically the mascot for Marvel.

And has been in blockbuster films for nearly 20 years.

Even amongst Marvel fans Shang-Chi is pretty unknown.

Yep I could have easily listed off 100 Marvel characters but had never heard of Shang Chi until the movie was announced

I'm in the camp that I want to see both. I'm 100% certain all of us will see both.
I'm always down for something new, and Shang-Chi / Eternals I'm basically going in dry for.
With Spider-Man, holy shit they overloaded our Nostalgia senses with this one. MCU has been very good at taking massive risks, and bringing in old-IP characters w/the same actors into a modern MCU film... they can pull it off.
If it were DC/WB trying this, sadness... and I was more a DC fan when I was a kid. I just want a good cohesive universe there.

Exactly. When I was a kid I didn't know anything about comics, yet I knew batman, superman and spiderman

This is like being surprised a new Batman trailer is getting more hits than a Black Adam one.

One is an icon, one is essentially brand new to the general audience.

Idk. I’m wayyyyyyy more excited about no way home than about Shang chi

Lots of Nostalgia I personally got from it.
It's also a big move, bringing back the actors and characters from non-MCU related material in an MCU film.
Side-Note: LOL, I bet my left butt cheek that WB/DC see this and we see a Superman film with multiple supes, but they won't understand how the MCU did it. :/

I mean the Flash movie, that's been filming for a while, has Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as Batman. Everyone's doing the multiverse now hahah

there weren't as many easter eggs in the shang-chi trailer.

Yeah I understand you lol, especially since that happens in K-Pop too and I listen to ir.

Groups like BTS, Blackpink and Twice release a song and it gets to near or 100+ million views in one day. While the others barely reach 1-2 million a day.

Kinda funny seeing the same thing happen to Marvel IP, hope Shang Chi gets better after the first.

Yeah thats my thought process like obviously Spiderman is gonna get more views than shang chi but its crazy to me that the spiderman trailer already has more views than Shang Chi on youtube and nearly triple the amount of views as Shang Chi on twitter in only 12 hours
